...I should have included "...and has absolutely nothing to do with metal".

And the EMO relations to punk died with the hype. I'm sure that's how it USED to be, but today EMO is regarded as the cutters soundtrack. Everything is horrible, nobody understands me etc. The definitions change with the genre's. For instance, as a kid I was absorbed by the public enemy no. 1 Satans own Twisted Sister. Listen to it today and it's really more like a marching band than Satans music.

Bottom line: EMO is not the same today as it was in 1980!
