Talk:Finding Emo/@comment-430215-20131023055739/@comment-31294978-20170213034451

Emo is short for "emotive hardcore punk", which is a music genre, not an appropriate label for a person (esp. if the person doesn't even listen to actual emo music)... It has nothing to do with being "emotional" because being emotional is a human trait, not specific to any particular group of people who are any "different" than the norm.

Actually the show depicts the alleged "emo" label in a pretty stereotypical manner, but even so those characteristics are not really that true... The writers evidently have no background/research on what "emo" is to have composed this episode the way it is -- the title itself already contains a heavily false concept + tells people what they're going to be misleading their audience in believing to be true (in this case, being the "emo" label).
