More than EMO

Nowadays, rock and roll seems to have rolled itself back to the top of the music world once more after decades of being rather mediocre. There now exists many rock and roll bands; and the influence of this type of music to the youth, seem to be endless that almost every kid in town wishes to be a part of some band. Most of these bands belong to the genre emo.

This genre pertains to the emotional contents of the songs of the groups that belong to this genre. Their songs are full of emotions of anger, love, lust and sadness. A band that many people claim to be a part of this genre is My Chemical Romance. However, the band did not accept this as fact and even said that they dislike the said genre. The claim of the band is believable; if one would study the songs of the group, at first, one would see the strong emotions that are enclosed in each song.

However, if one would only look deeper into the songs, he would find that there surely are more than strong emotions in each song; one could find there, the simple hopes in dying, and the reality of life; not just the complaints of a teenager but the cry of the youth of the century. It describes the life in this era.
