       Emo. Fuck Emo. Fuck it in it's stupid ass. Now, a lot of people might say, "Grant, you seem pretty open to any form or rock music, what's your problem with Emo?" And I say, "Fuck Emo." You know why? Well, I have two things to go on about here. One: The music associated with emo can hardly be considered music, and 2: Emo means emotional. Everything is emotion, you dumb fucks.
       Point one (use of the word emo in here will refer only to the type of music it is associated with): Well, you may have noticed that all of the bands that accept the title of emo tend to suck. That's just my personal observation. Then there are good bands, that end up getting labled "emo" and go "Hey, you fuckers, we aren't emo, we have talent!" That's pretty much the best way to sum up the difference. All bands, I repeat, ALL BANDS, not just emo here, complain about a girl/boy leaving them. It's a standard. Emo just tends to do it in the most annoying way possible, avoiding any possible hook, or anything that might resemble musical integrity. Yeah, stay out of the mainstream, that's the point of playing music anyway, to be poor and work at McDonalds, right? Shit, don't go sell your souls or anything, just realize that when a song does have a catch to it, it does make it a lot more pleasant to listen to. And then we go to the emo fans. How do I describe the emo fans? They hate their parents/family/friends(if the have any) and can't find any way to let it all out, so they dress in a striped shirt, with 3 buttons at the top and a collar, wear that over another shirt, and any variety of pants. Not shorts. pants. They also tend to complain that all the music out there sucks, but the second one of their favorite artists starts to make it big, that artist has lost all of their fans, because their fans said "we can't like anything popular, for that goes against our vary being," despite their constant complaining that all popular music sucks. You don't seem to understand that when a lot of people like something/start to like something, that's because there is talent in there, and people do want to hear it, and thus it becomes popular. But since I included the word "talent," that automatically disqualifies all emo.
       Point Two (emo in here mostly will be refering to what emo technically should mean, though there are exceptions): "Emo means emotional." Hmmm, isn't that interesting. Last I checked, emotions were feelings. Like feeling happy. Or feeling greedy. Or feeling funny. Stuff like that. Emo tends to point towards Feeling sad. Feeling depressed. Not quite feeling angry, becuase that would be showing to much emotion, which, wait, is the point of the music! Fuckin A! Everything is emotional. I want to slap the person who came up with this term! Puddle of Fucking Mudd is emo. He wrote those songs while he was feeling scorn for his (ex)girlfriend. Korn is very emo, he wrote all those songs about being abused as a child, thus making it hard for him to accept life. How much more emo can you get without actually crying on stage? In short, EVERYTHING IS EMO! All music is emotional, that's why it is music! All music is influenced by feeling, and thus, all feelings are influenced by music. Hell, you might as well start a new trend and call it "music," because it's just as fucking broad! "But there's all sorts of different styles Grant! There's emocore, hardcore emo, post-emo indie rock, and all sorts of different others!" Now I have been shown the light. You can actually divide something that sounds the same into different genres. That's like saying "Well, Backstreet Boys are different from N'Sync because they are hardcore pop, while N'Sync is post-indie emo pop" or something.
       Alrighty, I'm tired of this. Talking about it pisses me off. That is why I say "Fuck Emo" whenever somebody brings up how much they like it. I like emo too. That's why I listen to music. Fuck Emo.
