You are really off on your whole "I'm defending what I love" argument. We aren't even bashing the bands you like, because not all of them are bad, we are mearly clearing up your misconceptions. I'll be the first to admit I love Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional, but I don't parade around saying they are emo bands, because they aren't. Just because you hold this conception of what emo is or isn't doesn't make you right. There is a history behind the music and it can't be erased just because you don't know anything about it.
You can still listen to MCR or whatever else you like, but the regulars would just like to see you learn something and maybe look into the bands that are REALLY in the genre. I don't think it's unfair, we've been anything but inconsiderate towards you.
