punk rock music elements

Why do people keep calling Fall Out Boy emo?
Their not emo. They even said it themselves.
“While widely considered to be an alternative rock band, Fall Out Boy is often described as pop punk and emo. By their own admission, their music has elements of pop and punk, but is not pop punk.They have also stated that they are not an emo band.”
Just because one member is emo, doesn’t really mean their music is emo.
Rachel G – Uh, Pete Wentz IS emo. Not all emos cut themselves. And anyways, yeah, he wears black and wears guyliner. And one of their songs(This Ain’t A Scene) has to do with his evergrowing emo scene.
Ok, whatever. Pete Wentz may or may not be emo but still, I don’t think FOB’s music itself is emo…
Because most people don’t know what emo is. Most people think that it is a phase of teenage angst characterized by black side swooped bangs, eyeliner, tight pants, dumb metaphorical ”poetic” lyrics, and lots of crying….which it isn’t. That is just what a lot of idiot, scene-chasing teenagers make it out to be. Most people can’t even name ONE emo band. If they have never heard any emo, then why are the expected to know what it really is? Even half of the people who claim to listen to it, can’t name one song by The Rites of Spring.
