The name you came up implied my assumptions, so ssshhh on that you didn't say anything, you implied. Like 90% of myspace bands suck anyways... and their gay names are probly associated to why they suck, no talent... bands pop out like herpes on a crack whore so yeah a lot suck and are gay but that dosen't make them what emo is. I do have to agree with mostly what you said about if people like it does it make it good?

What I do hate about Emo is lots of people try to be "Emo" and come up with good peotic lyrics and end up just killing it. So I have no problem when people get the wrong idea, but I still think there view on it is ignorant. Bands like Saosin(Screamo), Death Cab for Cutie/The Postal Service, are good, bands like Fall Out Boy which I do love their msuic isn't good its just typical lyrics which would fall under that "Nice Painting" subject what you were talking about.

I dont even know why I am going on about it... it dosen't even matter. I have the same ignorant views on rap, so I can't be too hypocritcal
