I think emo is not about music but about the lyrics in the music. 'Emo' kids dont just care about the style of music but the feeling behind the words and the meaning of it. Music that has no meaning isnt 'emo' its just punk or metal or rock or rap or whatever the heck you want to listen to. Well thats me anyways.

Well, I listen to metal, rock, techno and everything else(exept for rap or jazz). Every song has meaning to it. I mean if you listen to Chic n' Stu you may think all they were talking about is pizza. o_o"
But, it is actually talking about the idea of consumerism and advertising. And I can go on some more, but I am lazy.

Well, anyway. Pretty much the music.
My mother says I go through withdrawal if I don't have my ipod.
oh well. *shrugs*

But if you saw some one listening to emo music, would you call them emo? Because pretty much every one says "it is all about the music." But I bet you there is something a little bit more to it then just the music.

No you wouldn't call the emo, because they are likely to rip your arm off and force feed it to, people that listen to emotive hardcore, then to ware whatever they feel like, its one of those who gives a crap genre's like punk used to be, before it got bogged down in the 'my Mohawk is bigger and more neon then your Mohawk' thing. It where a bunch of people that can't play or sing (much like death metal), scream, generally about whatever the popular big issue is this week and how it ******** them and their plans over. That an effective description?

Yes, it is. =D

emo is all about the music and how it affects you... it doesn't matter what you wear or how you look.

Since when did cutting become associated with emo?

Since the Wemos and the Emops came along.

Right you are...the dark clothing is just a part of me that promots the thoughts in my head powered by the music-fuel my dark thoughts-exprssed through dark clothing and loop feeds itself and you end up with like that...or at least that's how the methods of my madness work! twisted
