Wash ,'The Message'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

If we're going to have a conversation about what constitutes emo, I'll just sit in the corner with a bottle of scotch and drink until someone signals that we're done.
Can I sit with you?

somebody asked upthread. I thought I was being helpful.
I'd venture that any allusion to slitting your wrists earns you an emo tag.
I've got the bourbon and ginger!

I've got a dark alley and a full bar. Right there with you.

Emo is a good descriptor for hair. And that's about it.

Emo is a good descriptor for hair. And that's about it.
Hair and, I would argue, some fasion. But absolufuckinglutely nothing more.
It's music. It's supposed to have emotion. I mean, hello Morrissey. Hello Ian Curtis. Hello Leonard Cohen.
And occasionally teenagers. If done fondly as in little emo kids.
Because really? They're just trying. so. hard.
