I had to research the term EMO....because well...I didnt know it.

Emo (an abbreviation of "emotionally-driven Hardcore punk") is a term now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punk's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage. It is also used to describe fans of this genre, most commonly teenagers. (e.g., emo kid). The actual term "emo" originated in the mid-1980s D.C. scene, with the band Rites of Spring, as well as bands such as Fugazi, Moss Icon, and Antioch Arrow. ...

Urban Dictionarys response to EMO
Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile

Punk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life.

An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality.

OK..who here at CP is an EMO? Who would want to even suggest they are part of this group?
