i know...its equal to the number of complete close-minded retards that make useless posts about nothing.

emo is NOT music. it is a philosophy, a lifestyle, a belief system, a religion, a set of thoughts and ideals that are based as the archetype for ones community, a culture...

[/sarcasm]

emo and punk are the only genres of music where i see people trying to define them. anyone wanna define rap for me ?(please dont)

talentless clicks and whistles

What about girls in videos? Surely that has SOMETHING to do with it?

I'm so confused now.

emo isnt necessarily punk, i know ill be shunned for this. however, emo is a broad range of music, a very broad one actually. it can come from, and is more mainstream in the punk/rock genre. however it can be found in R&B and rap, sad as it is, music from usher, tupac and immortal technique have found a way to incorperate emotion into their music, thus making them emo.

a lot of people will say emo is a genre specific to punk/rock but i dont think it is, i think its a genre specific to artists who show their true emotions.

Its funny that the thread you all decided was dumb went on for 4 pages.

everything is emo.

agreed
