Why I oughta...
Doing "research" on the 2006 Warped Tour line up, apparently every band since 2004 is "emo" now. What is emo?
"Emo (slang), a slang term used to describe a wide range of fashion styles and attitudes somewhat affiliated with emo music... ...In a 1985 interview by Rites of Spring in Flipside Magazine, members of the band noted that some of their fans in DC were starting to call them "emo", arguably because of the state of emotion that the band displayed during their shows. In later years, the word emo was viewed as a contraction of "emotional hardcore" or "emocore"...

Hrmmmph. Back in my day, we used call it... "rock and roll?"
