So to be clear what is emo? What kinds of bands are in this genre? Just curious. :)

Wow, this just got off topic...

Of course anyone who classes themselves as emo is following a stereotype. And by calling yourself emo youre following a stereotype deliberately.

And whatever that last sentence was meant to mean, Im sorry I dont think there were any vowels in there so I didnt quite understand... But Im sure you meant well.

I don't classify myself as 'emo', 'punk', or anything else for that matter. I suppose I would call myself a human, but some might disagree ;) It seems to me that if you classify yourself as something other than that, you are limiting yourself as an individual. I don't want to have to dress or act a certain way, because I want to be who I am, not follow the guidelines of a stereotype. I prefer to be free thinking and act how I want to act.


If people want to call themselves by a label, they are free to do so. But when they volunteraily do that, they then suffer from all the stereotypes that are associated with that label (wether they are right or wrong). I choose to live without the label, and hope that people judge me by my actions, not by how I look...

The biggest misconception.

Emo is a type of music, not a type of person.

True, but there are those that call themselves emo. Quite a few actually. Whether or not its right for them to exist, they do... :)
