Maybe you should give a clear definition of "emo".

EmoGenre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle

im EMO...lol. listening to bright eyes right now. thats the only qualification I need right?
Wikipedia:
Emo fashion is usually defined to have roots in punk fashion as well as gothic fashion. By almost all current definitions, emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) often brushed to one side of the face, dyed black, straightened hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands, studded belts, belt buckles, Chuck Taylor All-Stars, skate shoes, or other black shoes—often old and beaten up—and thick, black-rimmed glasses.[1][2][5][6][7][8] Emo fashion has changed with time; early trends included haircuts similar to those worn by the Romulans and Vulcans in Star Trek, tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets (often called gas station jackets). This has fallen out of fashion nowadays.[5]

Wrong forum for EMO --- you need to check out the Fixie forum.
I'm sick of EMO.

"Emo" as it is commonly known today is so far removed from what the genre of music originally entailed that it's disgusting for people who liked the original incarnation.
An equivalent is thinking of Blink 182 as punk rock. It doesn't really sound like Minor Threat does it?
