My friend Kelly asks one of life's eternal burning questions.

  • [16:02] Kelly Abbott: hey, can you tell me what all the hub-bub about emo is? it's not a term we used to describe music when i was into terms for describing music. I listen to emo streams on last.fm and it all sucks.
  • [16:03] Kelly Abbott: where the fuck did emo come from?
  • [16:03] alperabut: ha
  • [16:03] alperabut: such a great question!
  • [16:04] alperabut: I've wondered the same thing and never axed anyone aloud
  • [16:04] alperabut: I've heard stuff in the emo genre that I used to listen to back in the day but had no idea that it was emo, back then anyway
  • [16:04] alperabut: didn't hear about it until the last few years
  • [16:04] alperabut: could it be a rebranding effort?
  • [16:04] alperabut: labelling a music genre after the fact?
  • [16:07] Kelly Abbott: it's terrible
  • [16:07] Kelly Abbott: all of it
  • [16:10] alperabut: ha
  • [16:10] alperabut: give pandora another whirl
  • [16:10] alperabut: music snob
  • [16:39] Kelly Abbott: it's not last.fm that sucks
  • [16:39] Kelly Abbott: it's emo that sucks.
