Personally I think they are a bit tryhard and are a bunch of wannabes, that said however, I don't mind their music. It is alot better than the hundred and one other bands with the exact same emo image they have. It's a pity that they think they have to "fall in" with the other retards who's music sucks alot more than theirs.
To me, the whole emo thing is just retarded, alot of people I know who think they are emo are always saying "poor little lonely me" on one hand yet raving about how they couldn't get through life without their mates. How the hell does that work? Sorry but you can't really have it both ways I think. Then you get some of these whiney little bands always whinging about how life is so hard and stuff yet they are rolling in cash, again, excuse me but um...WTF?!?
The second thing I find humourous is how they think they are so misunderstood yet they are nothing more than this generation's goths, punks, etc. Every generation seems to have it's own subculture which delves into the same general way of thinking, etc and emo is just the next evolution in that line IMO.
