Emo

So, what's up with this "emo"-thing?

I mean, the genre is 20 years old, but i've only just heard of it the last few months or so. And it's not like I'm subculturally inept, either. I mean, I can tell a goth apart from a metal-fan. That gotta count for something.

Okay, maybe it's just me who's out of touch. Or maybe not. Think about it: the genre is old enough for it's earliest practicers to be the same age as my parents, and yet the only people who listens to it are 14-16-year-olds. There's something genuinely weird going on here.

I'm going to investigate further into this, and get back with my results.
