Emo Genre Argument

Ok, this is my first edit really, so go easy on me :D, but I don't understand why people keep getting rid or pushing aside the EMO title that belongs to this album. It really is an Emo album weither people think emo is a bias or not. Someone doesn't seem to understand that Emo is a REAL GENRE, not a label that gets stuck to certain bands. The band even submited material to an EMO Collection CD (The Emo Diaries Chapter One is opened with Jimmy Eat World's appropriatly named song - "Opener") Obviously they concented to putting their material inside the collection as it appears in it in the first place. Also, it isn't an Alternative Rock album at all, but I left the title to please people who would disagree with it at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samushi101 (talk • contribs) 02:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually, an old version of the band's Web site clarified that when the band submitted the song "Opener" for that compilation, the album didn't have a title yet, so they don't "consent" to having their music labeled as such--in fact, they hate the term emo so much that they've often listed that compilation as "The *** Diaries" on their site discographies. :P DeadpoolRP (talk) 21:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Annoyingly, the full date isn't known, so I went with the year (which I've now sourced). Yeepsi (talk) 13:27, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
