As a musician I can't agree. Emo people have apparently never herd of
- the base guitar
- the drum symbol
- the base drum...
- ... actually... all drums that arn't the snare drum
- good guitar parts
- all strings on the guitar that arn't the E string
- a musical "chord"
- well written lyrics
- Ricola (cough drops)
all emo music has is the first string on a guitar played as fast as possible while some short guy in a bad hat reads depressing poetry in rhythm with the song, giving the appearance of lyrics. Also a drummer who hits the same drum over and over without even using the base petal. crash symbol, forget about it. Also no base guitar.
