Kids bitching about cutting themselves, and wearing tight pants and the whole thing aren't emo. Thats like saying the kid in the mohawk with the good charlotte shirt is punk. Its a trend started by the media and yet again they've grabbed some genre and slapped it on a group of pop acts and marketed it as something they're not.

Crap, MB went homo for a second okay, but just because MTV labels a band emo doesn't mean they're emo they've abused genres like this in the past. It doesn't mean people should agree with it and ignore the history of the genre and the real bands out their today. People need educated on this kind of thing, its one of the many reasons I joined a music forum. The majority of these so called emo bands are just pop with guitars. Listen to anberlin for an example of this.

But that happens in every genre that goes mainstream not just emo.

I`ve always been a fan of garage rock , when everybody went apesh*t over that a few years ago you think I was happy that sh*t like The Vines & The Strokes & Jet were being called garage rock bands?

Just because some band walks around playing a pop music with slight influences from a genre, doesn't mean you have to turn around and call them what the media has dubbed them.
