75 : People Saying I Should Have 'Real Emo' In This List
Quite honestly I couldn't care less about it. I don't think anybody really cares about what's real and what isn't real emo apart from a few diehard fans or people looking score points on an internet forum to show how smart they are. I think 4 or 5 years of emo kids whining about it has just bored everyone to tears on the whole subject.
Besides , real emo is practically a nostalgia trip now anyway. Virtually all of their favourite bands have spilt up or gone commercial , why would I want to piss on their parade even more? Give them a couple of more years and they'll be like the old punks in the 80s boring the hell out of anyone about the 'spirit of 77' unable to move on.
If they want to go around trying to find every single obscure split or demo from 8 or 9 years ago like a bunch of rabid trainspotters let them , they're not doing me any harm.
