Goddamn it. "Emo" gets too much of a bad reputation because it just became a fad in the last few years. It's been around for 20 years, as a matter of fact, what has become VERY popular in the last few years is the third wave of it.

Emo in a general definition is punk rock or Indie music with more emotional-focused lyrics, which I am all for. People who really think it's all "I slit my wrists" music are stupid. I don't listen to any Emo bands at the moment, but I have heard the music of various bands, and although I don't really care for most of their music, I respect several of them.

If "Emo" of all things in today's society is a sign of it's decadence, than I hope society disintegrates more, because I'd take Emo over any other shitty music today, like most rappers, and 99.9% of pop singers. Fact is, a lot of talented Emo groups aren't that different from other respected musicians.

As for that video Pat posted, I saw it before and find it hilarious.
