Emo music, is it overrated?

It seems that today emo music is overrated, because of bands like Hawthorne Heights and Bayside who sing needlessly about cutting and so on. Like my friend Nikc once told me “Screamo is a bunch of [people that dress completely black] with a gay haircut that covers an eye.” Nick is a metalhead so I guess his opinion doesn’t matter.

When I googled “emo quotes” I got the famous Adam and Andrew song, and many obnoxious things, but in the ones that were “trying not to be mean” I got:

Cut our wrists like cheap coupons and say that death was on sale today.
- Marylin Manson

I think emo music really has become overrated.

    Im not sure if all of the music is overrated i see where your coming from and some of those songs get old. Marilyn Manson is awesome but freaky so what else do you expect. the music is good but i agree its getting old so maybe what we need is new songs. or to expand our musical horizons and look up different emo bands instead of just our favorites.

Sure, i luv emo music, wudnt trade it 4 anythng, bt the whole cutting scene is getting overrated… I luv listening 2 all kinda rock, i explore, seek the stuff that speak 2 me, nt 2 my ears, bt 2 my heart. . . . .broken hearts rule the world. . . . .but the topic is getting old news. . . . .any possitive emos out thr? who sing about the good side of luv, how it warms ur heart 2 c a smile, and it doesnt end in pain.

    HA!
    Who’s seriously writing this crap?

    Hawethorne Heights is NOT an emo band, they’re shitty pop punk with a screamer as worm food. Screamo is rarely a bunch of random dark scene looking dudes who look “gay” (because being gay is a TERRIBLE thing apparently).

    You need to really know what emo and screamo is. (Circle Takes The Square, Saetia, City of Caterpillar, Pg.99, Age Sixteen, etc.)

    This entry is just plain stupid.
