 == The ""Backlash"" Section == 

 My edits to this section of the article have been reverted for the 3rd time now, and I think it's about time I explained why I edited it in more detail. 

 A certain user (I don't keep track of names) has said the material I add to the Backlash section is POV. I have an objection to that, that exsisting part of the article IS POV. It sounds like it could have been written by the members of My Chemical Romance or The Used or something, that's how pro-emo sounding it is. You can't get an anti-emo perspective from that. This part of the article is supposed to be about why a lot of people (including myself) HATE emo, not an entire paragraph on how great emo is and how it will persist for years to come. Talk about POV, seriously.  

 Please tell me how my edits were ""POV"" in anyway. I could write a very long and one sided view on how much I hate emo and why if it was permitted by wikipedia. I did do my best to put my information on a ""nuetral"" standpoint, and if that seemed too POV, don't delete everything I said, just make it sound more NPOV if you think it's too POV. Once again, the exsisting section of the article seemed very pro-emo to me and did not get in depth about why so many people hate the subgenre, which is what you want to hear in a ""Backlash"" section of an article.  

 That is all I want to say for now, the person who has been reverting me edits please respond to this imeadiatly, I look forward to contradicting you further. Thank you  20:28, 28 February 2006 

 :90% of what you wrote is unverifiable bullshit.  Wiki calls it original research.  Assertions included in a Wiki article have to be supported by verifiable sources, and none of what you wrote can be. 

 :For specific example: ""many emo people live in rich neighborhoods and have it better than most other people"".  Are you kidding me?  What the fuck is that?  For starters, ""emo people"" constitutes a slang term, unacceptable for this article.  But that stereotype is insanely specific, far beyond what would be acceptable for a general discussion of the stereotypes. 

 :Regardless, this article is about THE MUSIC, not ""emo kids"".  There's an article for that, it's called Emo (slang), where we talk about all of the crap stereotypes.  All of the ""self mutilation"" bullshit is already discussed there BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT BELONGS.  It has nothing to do with the music itself. 

 :Anyway, which emo music are you talking about?  The article states the truth: nobody can say for sure what exactly constitutes ""emo music"" at this point, given that most bands called ""emo"" refuse to accept the designation.   

 :Worse, you've lumped in all emo music as not being technically challenging, but what songs are you talking about?  What bands are you referring to?  You're making a broadbased generalization that could be readily disproved if you bothered to name the bands and songs you're talking about. 

 :""Emo is also criticized for it's very simple song structure.""  Yeah, because songs like this are easy to play:  

 :You're adding a series of gross generalizations about emo music, and you're surprised that someone is complaining?   

 ::Wow wow wow! I didn't realize I was talking to a toddler here, I appologize for sounding a bit harsh at times, I know people like you can be a bit upsettable, I suggest a therapist. 

 ::Anyway, if you actually paid attention to my revisions you would notice I mentioned many times that all those things you see as POV were STEROTYPES and are NOT AT ALL necessarily true. That would be like saying just because I'm a metalhead it means I'm a satanic Nazi (I'm not, but that seems to be what you and other emo losers seem to think). 

 ::As for emo not having simple strong structure, LISTEN TO ANY EMO SONG IN THE KNOWN WORLD! If an emo subgenre called ""progressive emo"" or something in the vein comes around, then we'll talk, but for now all I hear in emo are simple, 3 chord songs with whining lyrics. You want complicated strong structure, go listen to some Dream Theater, then maybe you'll change your mind about the difference between simple and complicated song structure (then again, maybe Dream Theater isn't whiny or simple enough for you). 

 ::Just because I band doesn't want to be called emo doesn't mean they aren't, these bands KNOW emo has such a bad reputation, and they don't want kids to think their lame-ass posers (which they are), so they come up with bullcrap excuses for sub-genres instead of emo, but lets face it, everyone knows they are. 

 ::Finally, regardless of who's revisions are correct or incorrect,
