When I started becoming aware of emo as a musical genre in the late 90s, it
was mostly bands like Braid, The Promise Ring, Dashboard Confessional, Saves
the Day and whatnot that I was hearing about. Mostly clean-cut, very handsome
looking young men singing songs of love-lost whilst jacking off in front of
a full-length mirror. At some point, most of these bands really came to terms
with the fact that there was no difference between them and the likes of Bon
Jovi, which explains why the eyeliner started coming into play. That started
the snowball-effect of emo and goth coalescing into one big melting
chocolate cake (or that's what most of these gaylords look like to me anyways). It's
definitely a weird evolution. When I was a lad, there wasn't much difference
between an emo-kid and an indie-rock type kid as far as fashion went. Just
some dude in tight, thrift-store clothes, Buddy Holly glasses and a fuckin
back-pack. That was emo.

And it SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED too.
