Dem you missed out the part about where Emo came from, the musical genre emotional hardcore punk, which then got twisted by MTV and the likes. True "emo" bands are such as Fugazi and Rites of spring.
no i'm not emo, and even if i was...i don't think i would go broadcasting it. off-topic: guitarguru, wtf is with the confederate flag...i bet you're anti-alot of things.
If you label yourself, you are a poser. End of. And no I'm not emo. I'm not anything really, although I guess if you were to see me, you would probably think goth :\
