Funny, I always thought emo kids where the people that hung out at this afterhours club I used to hang at YEARS back called, ironically, Emos.
Never missed much with it. It wasn't that great...
Personally, I think all music sucks nowadays, 'cos you get one shot at an album and if it doesn't do good enough for the parent company, the artist is cut. That's SO fair, after all, since they're losing SO much money to mp3s, blah blah....
You know, I remember in the mid-late 80's/early 90's, when the record companies were complaining about bootleg 'tape' recordings. You know, don't go out and buy a high quality tape, so you can copy your friend's cassette. Not to be an @ss, but isn't that WHY they made dual cassette. I'm sure it wasn't so you could put two tapes in your box to play one after the other.
It's just a prime example of how businessmen operate. A good example would be Clear Channel. They OWN every radio station in my home town, which, seeing as they probably have done this in EVERY city they have stations in, would be classified as a monopoly, yet it's not as the gov't doesn't think there's such a thing as a monopoly in media markets. Line the right people's pockets with money and you're without want.
