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?
There is a difference between changing yr style because you want to play different music and changing yr style just to appeal more to the masses.
