shut up you idiot. for gods sake. yes there are stereotypes..yes you can be punk and be influenced by The Cure , Aretha Franklin. The Beegees... and Tom Waits and whoever else you frickin like.It doesn't really matter what genre you concider yourself to be "into".. because they all influence eachother. Emo is just another branch on a huge fucking tree of music styles...you may prefer one to another but to each their own.
