The reason so many teenagers these days think these newer rock bands are emo is because its marketed that way,i'm 34 years old and i even thought those bands were emo until i did some digging online and found out emo really started like a decade ago and i've NEVER heard of any of those bands. But i can see why kids nowadays think this stuff is emo,i even found a book at Barnes & Noble called "Everybody Hurts; A Guide to the Emo Culture" and all over it is MCR,FOB,Dashboard Confessional,Good Charlotte,all these bands that true emo fans can't stand. So you cant totally blame the kids for believing these bands are emo when it's all they're told. I myself LOVE MCR because the songs are good and i think the guys in the band are smart and talented. I dont hold it against them that they sound different now compared to "Bullets..." because every band changes,why get on their ass for it?
