what people call emo today is never what it was meant to be, specifically the style of music people label emo. It's been so bastardized from it's origins (sunny day real estate, rites of spring) that the forefathers wouldn't even be able to listen to modern day "emo".


This is something that pisses me off, what people call emo now should just be called pop punk or pop emo or SOMETHING anything else than calling it what it isn't and never will be.
