I don't get where the fun is in vandalizing the emo redirection page. -user:guruclef

Is there really a song named "Emo" by Death Cab For Cutie? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.73.23.180 (talk • contribs).

Apparently not; i removed the entry, for now. --Piet Delport 15:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The vandalism problem: semi-protection

This page seems to vandalized on an almost daily basis. It's hard to spot any legitimate edits in the history.

I'm strongly considering putting a request up for semi-protected status, seeing that:

  • Practically all vandalism is in the form of once-off anonymous edits.
  • Conversely, practically all anynomous edits are vandalism.
  • This is a fairly stable disambiguation page, so legitimate changes tend to be:
    • infrequent, and
    • not of a nature you'd expect from new editors
In other words: semi-protection should be appreciably less invasive to this article's editing lifecycle than it is to regular articles.

I believe strongly in keeping Wikipedia as open as possible to anonymous editors, but in this case, weighing the constant drain of devandalizing against the impact of semi-protection, i would prefer semi-protection.

Any objections? --Piet Delport 00:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I've put a request up. --Piet Delport 15:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Request denied: not enough recent activity to justify protection. Oh well. --Piet Delport 21:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

After the most recent spate of vandalism, a second request has been granted! --Piet Delport 06:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

It's been un-semi-protected, from the looks of it, and now vandalised: "In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe the music of the mid-1980s Washington, DC scene and its associated bands. It is now ruining the music scene as a whole and infesting the world with transvestites. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the DC scene and some of the regional scenes that spawned from it."

Being a newbie to Wikipedia, I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the fairly obvious piece of vandalism (Or, at least, comment requiring a citation). 124.178.196.10 09:14, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Errr... It seems to have vanished now. Possibly problems on my end - the internets are being sporadic and strange today. 124.178.196.10 09:17, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hot Water Music

The song is not called emo it is You Can Take The Boy Out Of Bradenton. Only called Emo because of some idiot on limewire. Someone fix it.

[edit] Emo is not rock

Someone change that, please. Emo is not rock, by far not rock.

However some rock is emo look at many popular artists that are widely considered rock and some of their songs are emo in nature
