The whole emo thing is pretty darn popular these days. Do you like the new trend or hate it? Think it's stupid or kinda cool? Hope it lasts long or dies quick?

Most people in this question has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. I'm not going to go into too much more detail, but emo does not mean emotional. Emo is not Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Hawthorne Heights, Dashboard Confessional, etc. They are pop bands nothing more. You don't listen to emo, and I'm willing to bet that none of you ever have. Emo is style of hardcore music that is short for emotive hardcore. It originated in Washington D.C. It is widely regarded that the bands Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, and few others started it in the mid 80's. Rites of Spring being one of the best and most well known. They took their music in a more personal direction with a far greater sense of experimentation. Emo bands aren't on major record labels either. Emo is anti-corporate. It's what defined the bands, and it's what still defines those bands today. You will never find an emo band on Vagrant, Geffen, Drive-Thru, etc. Those bands aren't emo, and never will be.
If you want real emo check out:
Yaphet Kotto
Policy Of Three
Portraits Of Past
Heroin
Antioch Arrow
Glass And Ashes
Planes Mistaken For Stars
Ordination Of Aaron
Current
Saetia
Hot Cross
Circle Takes The Square
A Day In Black And White
Four Hundred Years
Sinaloa
They And The Children
How To Beat A Dead Horse
Ampere
Appleseed Cast
Rites of Spring
etc.
If you actually take the time to listen to these bands, you will see that it is the vocals and music that makes a band emo, not lyrics. And band such as Fall Out Boy, Dashboard Confessional, and Hawthorne Heights, do not have those musical and vocal characteristics.

No, you hate the scene kids. Emo has been around for around 4 or 5 years. And really is more of a state of mind and music over *emo*tional heartache than bobs and girl-pants and semi-homosexual behavior. Emo is a musical genre best represented by groups like Jimmy Eat World or Dashboard Confessional. Long live the modern romantics.

I hate it, think it's stupid and hopes it dies quick! lol. Well, from what I've heard about it, it seems like such a miserable way of being, so no way. It's really maddening and I hope another style comes into view and becomes popular instead of this creeps' thing.

Pop culture is so lazy now. I feel like I'm living in the 80's. Bunch of Robert Smith wannabes.
