In the end it's all music, why does it matter if it gets labelled with one word instead of another?

we fight about it because people don't like it when other people call themselves emo when they are not. Like if I was in a room with someone that said that they listen to hardcore emo and then said they listened to Dashboard confessional and Taking back sunday I would simply smack them in the face.

What's the point in that though? So what if they decide that a totally redundant word means something slighlty different to what you think it means? Is it really that important that it should cause arguments?

I'll bet there aren't two people on this entire site who could give me the same definition of emo, or punk, or hardcore, or death metal, or garage, or any of these trendy words used to describe every new band that pops up.

People will actually agree with what is emo and what isn't. The music you like is simply not emo there is no other way to put it, and that is why people will disagree with your "emo" choices.

An emo group that I listen to is Mineral. They are emo and many people will agree with me.

You listen to corporate crap that MTV spews out.

but you don't understand. Let me put it in simple terms.

Its like you are saying Britney Spears is emo and then saying that people will disagree with it. Of course people will disagree with you because what you listen to is just like Britney Spears. It is simply not emo.

Here's another example to make it even more clearer:
"Its a lost cause to debate what is rap so I say elton john is rap"
Now all the rappers will disagree with this because it is clearly not rap.
