Default There is no such thing as Present Day emo

You can't just make up stuff like "present day emo". Present day emo means real emo that's in the present day. There is such a thing as contemporary pop which basically means present day pop. You could associate this with many bands which I will not name for argument sake.

p.s. I just like being an *******/jerk cause its fun

There is no such thing as present day emo, because emo was a scene. It was a movement. Things have moved already. It's over. Don't you kids realize that these things were happening like 20 years ago?

The way I see it, I am an 18 year old kid in the suburbs. If I have heard of a musical genre, it's already on it's way out.

emo is emo, its no different now then it was 30 years ago. Love will always have the same affects on you. no matter what, whether good or bad, its the same love.

If you are insinuating that any love song is "emo", you're dumb. I'm not replying to anything else you say.

i disagree. emo is about emotion, but not every emo song is about love. there are plenty of others to write about

If that's your definition of Emo then I suggest you get albums by backstreet boys and N'sync. Like I posted earlier before, these bands have plenty of love and emotional lyrics. Why don't you try britney spears because some of her songs are emotional so she must be emo too right?

The people that classify themselves as emo and label it as emotional are usually poseurs that are trying to find a way to be different than others. They think its cooler to be different while they are just the same as everyone else

you are truly a piece. you know everything do you? so i should agree that love is the only thing emo is about? you think you know everything but your a tool whos trying to act cool and be tough on a message board. nobody talking to you outside? nothing better to do? that is YOUR opinion, not the 100% CORRECT answer. grow up and stop being such a ****

ya. ok. heres the diff between bands like britney spears staff who does everything for her, and backstreet boys etc. - they do write about what they believe to be love. actually. they probably don't write it, i know brit doesnt. anyway, the bands suck yes, thats true. the difference between them and emo bands are that emo talks about a few things about what the person is doing them and uses metaphores and stuff like that. pop mtv bands just would be like "girl you breakin my heart, you breakin my heart" and stuff like that. its such a blank statement that theres no challenge in discovering what lyrics are what category.(emo vs. pop)

my opinion
