What is wrong with being emo or listening to ''emo'' music?

Home More advice Music

I listen to stuff,mostly like Breathe Carolina or A Skylit Drive,ect. Everyone calls me emo for that. I don't cut myself and don't sit in my room wishing I would die,im actually a really outgoing and friendly person. But yeah,I like a varity of music. Breathe carolina for example,they are sooo different then most music out there,but because they have some screamo in the songs and I listen and like them,I'm considered emo? What's with that? People aren't considered a cowboy because they listen to some country. I hate that people go and call me emo and make fun of me,it's really annoying. Even if someone is emo,why are they so made fun of? They are just expressing themselves differently. We don't know what they have gone through to make them ''emo'' so what gives us the right to judge and make fun of them for whatever they do? If someone is sad all the time or cuts or whatever being emo is all about,why is it such a bad thing? Why does everyone make fun of people that aren't like them? It drives me nuts. And it drives me nuts to be called somthing I'm not. I have emotions and I express them,I listen to hardcore music,so because of those things,I'm considered emo? What,have you never been sad or ever cried in your life? I'm useally a happy person,I just have different taste in music.
