I would take all the incel rhetoric, 1337 speak memelord type rubbish, furry roleplaying, yeets and dabs, neckbeard cinema, etc. stuff over it.
I physically feel nauseous when I read someone misusing the word "emo." Back in the day there was an excuse, when the term was missaturated in the media and was all over magazines and television. But it's fucking 2019 -- either you haven't went to fourfa.com the millions of times it's been linked to you, or you're totally trapped in some Twilight Zone time-traveler inter-generational mindfuck and never read a book or forum or engaged in any sort of growth culturally in almost two decades.

Before it was just obnoxious, now it's just pathetic.
This is the face I make now:

Emo is any music that's too whiny for adults to enjoy


I don't even know how to respond to this. Do I take it as tongue-in-cheek humour. Do I assume you're serious? Do I point you to my thread's content? Do I link you to fourfa in 2019? Should I link you elsewhere? Should I waste my time making a huge post that you probably wouldn't even read? Do I just act dismissive and just say "okay?"?

I'm torn - lying naked on the floor.

I'm not being elitist about it. I don't even listen to much music anymore. I sold all my records about a year and a half ago.
I just like the idea of, you know, using words correctly -- especially a word that was so notoriously misused at one point, and the confusion that people are still misusing it when it's not even relevant to misuse anymore.

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

A+ for knowing this "copypasta"

EDIT:
This thread isn't meant to sound like that quote - it's meant to emphasize less the misuse of the term, and more the fact that even the misuse isn't even relevant anymore, so people who still misuse it are fucking cringy cringy cavemen.

i know the copypaste isn't meant to be taken seriously, but I think the funniest part is that whoever originally wrote it is calling Cap'n Jazz POWERFUL and HATEFUL.

People calling someone woke is cringier.

Though the worst is people who use soyboy as a serious insult.
