Aren't you about five years late on this one? I thought emo had all but dissapeared. Even the whole nu-rave/indie thing which followed it seems to be more or less done now.

For what it's worth I'd much rather kids got into music that actually involved real instruments and a degree of creativity than, say, manufactured RnB/garage. Do you honestly think they'd be listening to anything more profound otherwise? At least emo stuff is a step in the right direction.

True...but teenagers can be miserable at the best of times, and this stuff really doesn't help, with their faux-angst? Really - do excuse me while I split my sides laughing at how much crap you've had to put up with in your 15 years of life so far...can I introduce you to a couple of friends of mine who've dealt with 10x as much and are more cheerful at their worst than you are on an average day!!!


But on balance I think I'd rather an emo-head than some gangsta-wannabe with his belt down by his knees and his attitude turned up to 11...

I remember reading an article in the daily mail that summed up everybody emo as "Too sad to eat".

Play some Andrew WK to cheer them up. The answer to all problems is to listen to Andrew WK.

They're just following the trends like thrash, grunge, nu metal listeners before them. Harmless enough, but as is typical, some truly dire music.
