I was listening to the Dresden Dolls the other day. They're pretty much up at the top of my favorite bands of all time. I LOVE them!

Then I went through the rest of my stuff and just catagorized in my mind what each band fell under.

I listen to about....

5% acoustic

5 % uncatagorizable

10% techno

20% screamo/emo

20% percent of a jumbled mess of raging, in your face, kill you on contact metal

30% Punk

(that's an EXTREMELY abbriviated list... just taking head calculations here)

sooooo...

then tell me

Why do I get called emo if most of the stuff I listen to is punk or meatal?

I hate labels in general

but

if I do listen to emo, it's not MCR or anything pop punkish

I listen to the almost punk stuff... it's a very thin line my emo bands walk between punk and emo 

 (not to bash MCR or anything, they're alright.... i just don't prefer them)
