Turns out "emo" actually refers to emotionally-charged punk rock. And here I thought it was just a subgenre of badfic.

And if you'd read Questionable Content, you'd already have known that! :)

I didn't have to read that to know what emo means, so why should she? If you want to know this stuff, just listen to crap radio. Z100, I think, should do it.

I didn't mean to suggest that was the only way to know about emo, just that it was a possible way. And at least to me, reading QC is less painful than listening to crap radio.

What is that anyway? Sounds familiar. Internet comic?

Yup. Did I get the link wrong?

I haven't listened to the radio since... God, I can't remember. Quite possibly high school - no, wait, I used to listen to the morning news on the radio when I was an intern. So that was 2001. Five years ago.

I own four hundred albums so I never have to listen to the radio.

And I learned the term emo from BSD and his horrifying "for you!!!!" exclamations.
