    I really liked this article. Not only was it well-written, it was thorough. It addressed an important issue and covered it completely, complete with explanation for each point raised. I also think that it was very un-biased, which I think is important in a writer.

    Finally!

    Emo was a term used to describe live performances in the D.C. area and was short for emotional hardcore and emcore. Rites of Spring is a real emo band, although Sunny Day Real Estate has some emo characteristics, but is more indie.

    I would be labeled emo by my appearance although I have very few of the characteristics. I’m a really unique person and truly there is no label to classify me. Unless people come with chicken, noodles, or broth, we shouldn’t be labled. It’s really stupid.

    The word originated in 1985 so the way it was used back then is the acual meaning.

    I have nothing against the "emo" kids.
    But to me emo is like almost the new prep.
    Labels are stupid.We all know.
    But labels are never gonna die down so whats the point in hating them?

    Just this one little things people can't see to get in their heads
    Not all emo kids cut!
    Not all kids who cut are emo!

    Like this article. I've never really understood the whole "emo" thing. It seems like it was just running in circles before it fell into the clique scene. I have friend who's "emo," but he's a prat and thinks he's God's gift to all lesser mortals. He won't answer my questions and calls me a "poser." I tell him to go cut himself some more to nurse whatever inner-hurt is making him such an a**hole.

    Hm, good article dude.
    You know, somebody told me I was emo and must cut myself because I like Green Day. Haha
    It was totally funny.
    This whole 'emo' wave that's taking over is really starting to irritate me. It's honestly a bunch of people trying so hard to be non-conformists that they all ended up conforming to this 'emo' style\culture.
    hah.
    Not saying I don't label, I mean, everybody does, even if you don't notice. True, labels are better left for the grocery store, but I don't think we can really help the fact that we're gonna be judged no matter what.

    Awesome article!!
    I agree with everything you just said!!
    This emo trend [b]today[/b] to me is just really annoying!!
    Everything is "emo" considered to people, who actually have no clue what their talking about!!! And like you side this will die out in a couple years, then something even more ridiculous will come along!

    nice job
    agree with everything said
    for people its automatic to label
    its alot easier than describing everything about a person
    but for many its labeling what they are wearing or look like

    It's well written but the fact that all this labelling is still going on really grinds my gears.
    To be honest i now couldn't really give a crap as to what people label me as, they can go ahead and do it. Call me emo, goth whatever, i label other people. Everyone does it, it's human nature to do it.

    That was awesome. Best description of emo I've heard so far. And for Dae, the bands that were labeled as not emo are under stuff like alternative rock, techno, rock, metal, stuff like that.

    This is really good written and the best overview of emo I have ever read. =]
    Good job.
    Question: How would you describe your non-emo bands? Would you make up a new name or do they just fit in with another label?
    Another one: What's your opinion on labels? Necessary to distinguish music or people from a crowd or only for soupcans? ;]
