Yea, but how can you say a whole genre sucks when you probably couldn't even define it? If you want to get into how the name "emo" started, it was given to hardcore bands that played slower and more emotional lyrics such as Embrace and Rites of Spring, then it became bastardized into the sterotype of whiney kids singing about getting dumped. Thus the whole genre has completely lost its meaning. All music is emotional, so how can you differentiate whether something is "emo" or not?
