I understand the whole misconception of the term "emo" but once the "emo culture" hit mainstream, of course any kid who has long shagged hair and listens to fucking Fallout boy is deemed "emo"

even their ignorant or not.. pop culture has made everyone narrowminded and shit.. don't blame the kid, blame everyone else who called him emo without knowing the "true" facts behind the "emo" movement (was there an emo movement?)
