Indiana beat writer, The Herald-Times (Bloomington, Ind.)

The emo discussion could last for a while, and I'm pretty certain no one hear really cares that much. For a dissertation Moddy, PM me and I'll explain. For the record, I've never worn eyeliner, painted my fingernails, or worn chicks' jeans, and I try not to listen to bands that do.
The bands I've listened to that could be construed as emo depending on who's defining it were older ones like Saves the Day, Midtown, Jimmy Eat World, Alkaline Trio, Taking Back Sunday ... and yeah, I have a Dashboard Confessional album, which by any and all definitions makes me a dork. I've come to accept this.

 

Saw a bumper sticker that said something like "I wish my yard were emo so it would cut itself."

 

Yeah. His kids look a little grungy, too. Stewy looks completely out of place in family photos.

 

Getting back to the beat for a moment, Dustin is going to have a blast covering hoops at IU. Especially now that they're locked into the Puerto Rico tourney.

 

God, emo sucks parakeet dick. I helped my wife chaperone a high school prom back in May, and you couldn't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting one of these guys.

 

You swing dead cats by the tail? Does PETA know about this?

 

Why would they care? Cat's freakin' dead already.

 

Oh, they care.
