ok my opinion here emo is much more than just a genre of music, its a lifestyle that you make and you decide what you want to listen to i mean i listen to the royal tennenbaums soundtrack and i consider it emo and i consider mortal treason emo but thats just me i mean i dont think that hawthorne is emo in any way or anything like that i just think that emo is all about what you make it, some rich popular "pop punk" emo kid is going to have a different explanation of emo than a ahem real kid with real problems who sits in the back of class and gets made fun of for the way he dresses and is hated by most every guy and gets along with most every girl will, what i mean is, one will be a mediatized mtv version of emo and the other will be a actual elliot smith stab yourself in the heart, slit wrists, half a bottle of asprin, chain smokin, alcoholic, dirty, real side of emo, if that makes any real sense
