[edit] Emo
We don't allow the subjects of Wikipedia articles to determine the content of said articles. What would Wikipedia be like if, say, George W. Bush said "You know, I think that the criticism of me is bullcrap", and then we removed all criticism of him from our article? Just because the band members think that TBS isn't emo, or that emo is a bad idea for a genre, does not mean that the information should not be in the article. (And, by the way, I absolutely love Taking Back Sunday. Fantastic band. But I'm afraid that they really do fit the criteria of emo.) Any thoughts? Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 03:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
I've just never been a fan of the term 'emo'. Not because of personal experinces or anything, but I consider it to be more of an insult than a genre. But then gothic is sometimes used as an insult but is still a genre. So, I understand and agree that it should be kept their.

The thing is what defines emo? Is it the way it sounds? The lyrics? Darthgriz98 18:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- They both kind of go together. Most people can, in about a minute, tell whether or not a band is "emo" (regardless of whether they use that particular title to name it). And TBS qualifies. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 03:46, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
