I love to classify music. It's a hobby of mine, along with knowing/reading about bands I like, and even some I don't like. Obviously, I love to play guitar as well...
But recently, as I have ventured more into metalcore and gothic metal, I continually see people say this band is emo, and that band is emo, because of a certain look or lyrics.
I don't understand when people say, bands like Bullet for My Valentine are emo. Sure some of their lyrics could be, given the right atmosphere, but the name is much too violent. Either they guy is going to give that bullet to the girl because she cheated on him, or he's going to take a bullet for her, because he loves her so much.
I get more irritated when people call gothic bands emo.. Like the Deathstars or Deadstar Assembly. There is a Deadstar Assembly song entitled "Killing Myself Again," which lyric-wise could be considered "emo," yet the style of the music is industrial metal/gothic metal. It's too heavy, hard, and dark to be emo... so maybe people could try to learn something about genres before they label something emo.
