Music today does indeed suck as a generality. There are a few bands who have skill and demonstrate said skill very well, but get drowned out by things like Metallica trying to be hip.
Proof of this:
One day my brother was rifling through my CDs and pulled out a Cinderella CD. He looked at the original release date and declared "This is old!" I did point out to him that not only was it released 4 years after he was born, but he constantly listens to Led Zeppelin.
Apparently that meant nothing to him other than all good music started in 1996. Over the years, he's migrated back and forth to bands that I like and some that made me want to tear my eyes out in horror. I'm just glad he's over his Limp Bizkit phase.
Oh yeah, I'm not quite sure what qualifiees as emo music, though there was that one song on my CD swap that someone said was emo. Though the only reason I like it is because of the main chorus "It's just an ordinary day/I'm much too strange for this ordinary world." Fits me perfectly. The rest of the song, not so much. I am neither a boy nor did I run through fields of clover. And the part about clowns makes me nervous.
Anyway, if that kind of music emo, then I don't necessarily hate it, but I find it boring and uninspired.
