Than you have the real “emo” people who absolutely love music and know what’s going on and they get filed under the some genre as the people wearing the gc shirts so when they get mad their just sticking up for what they believe in, in some way trying to save what is left of emo the same thing happens in all of the scenes punk, political punk, hard core, metal, ect…. So its not fair to say that emo is a cult. if you actually believe that emo is a cult though then you must think of every other music genre as a separate cult witch I don’t think is true at all
Why do you care so much? That's the thing that amazes me. Why does it matter that someone is wearing a Good Charlotte t-shirt and saying they are emo? What grief can this possibly cause in your life? What is so special about being a "real emo person"? What are you sticking up for? What does "what is left of emo" actually mean?

Your entire above post has completely vindicated my assertion that certain people wish for emo to be a cult, a secret society where only a select few know the "truth", and one where they can use this "truth" as an excuse to talk down on other people just because they might not own a Sunny Day Real Estate record. Which I do, by the way.
