And saying that emotional and emotional hardcore are basically the same is like saying acid jazz and elevator music are the same thing. Both draw from jazz influence, but it doesn't mean that elevator music has any real elements of jazz. All music is emotional; not all music has hardcore elements, and yes Don, hardcore does have a conceived definition, just like your precious prog-metal.
