How many of you listen to Bright eyes that are saying it is emo? Bright eyes plays sad music sometimes, but it isnt that shallow whiny shit that people refer to as emo. His voice sounds a little whiny, but thats it.
Most emo is basically pop rock played with a little bit of a punk style, where the band members wear makeup and dress different. Good emo can actually have some sort of musical talent behind them, and have a message or thought provoking lyrics, not jsut how they was to kill themselves because they broke up with someone.
Screamo is also not emo.
Think about the name... Isn't there equally as much or more "emotion" in death metal? Or what about Atmosphere?
Also, since when is painting "emo?" painting is a way of fuckign creating art, dumbass.
And last, what the fuck does it matter how he dresses or what music he listens to. He is a better skier than you, and most likely will always be. This is jsut about as bad as following celebrity breakups, so stop.
