Well, when it's REALLY bad when someone comes up to you and calls you Emo. Then you correct them and they continue calling you emo.
A friend of mine brought something like this up on a much grander scale. Something about there being a huge thing about anti-intellectualism amongst many many Americans. They can see the brilliance in "Good hard work and honesty pays off", but they can't see the genius in art and music.
Why do you think the simplest of rap music is so popular?
The mentality is sort of like "If you can't eat it, then what's the point in it? Ugh!"
You know, this really is depressing. I really wish my friend was wrong, but I don't really see any contrasting evidence to prove those wishes to be true.
