The dress doesn't bother me, it's everything else about the "Emo" thing that does. :D

The sad thing is that good music that should be labeled as emo gets labeled as something else while dickshit bands like Sum 41 get labeled as emo. Real emo isn't really all that bad...there's no "scene hair" (those assholes with hair flipped to one side) and by and large there are no "clever" songs about hurting yourself because your girlfriend left you for being a pussy. Emo has existed for a long time...it's just punk rock with feelings. The pathetic part is that it's now being farmed out to suck ass bands who don't know the first thing about it and just plain suck. You hear that, Yellowcard? Fucking blow me.

I actually like a lot of "Emo" music. That doesn't mean that I agree with the "Emo" people though. :D
Emo is a branch of punk rock which was previously stated. Now emo is basically transformed into the "scene" trend. The "scene" music is "screamo" normally which... well I can't at all comprehend any of the words they are saying such bands as "Number Twelve Looks Like You" and "Chiodos". Chiodos has a potentially great guitarist if he would stop doing some of the most musically incorrect riffs. >_<.
The new found "emo" stereotyping is oh man let's kill ourselves because our life sucks blah blah. Which is what the "scene" stereotyping is now "lets get drunk, do drugs, and have constant sex to make ourselves feel better." The only reason they dress the way they do is because they don't want to be sticking out of their crowd. The quote from Tokyo Drift works well in this context: "The nail that sticks out gets hammered".
The bands that still follow the emo genre are great to listen to, so I'm not sure why people put it down so much considering most of their definitions of it could be directly related to any of the music they listen to. Making hypocritical statements and that's all we need now in this ugly world isn't it..... >_<
When I was growing up music didn't really affect the way people dressed... I don't think it really ever has until now because people want to look like clones. heh. I mean Nickelback, Matchbox Twenty, ecetera never had a set clothing line....
People are just. Maybe it's just because I over-analyze everything I come across and it drives me up the wall because I can't do anything to fix it. Conformity along with generalizing has come across as a necessity.
