emo
1)Country and blues music for the punk generation
2) Mature artistry that is overlooked by people who prefer misogynic music like gangsta rap, pop-rap, hardcore rap, most hard rock, certain R&B, and pop that only cares about sex

1)Emo is considered country and blues for the punk generation because it talks about the same things country and blues talk about--your lover leaving you and you think you can't go on without them-- yet it gets dissed while country and blues don't. What is wrong with this picture?
2) Anybody who claims emo is overwrought hasn't truely listened to it and are just hating on it because they're told it's cool to not express your emotions.

open-minded
a person who actually tries something before they decide whether they like it or not; they like or hate something because of actual exposure, not because others think it's cool
I am an open-minded punk. I don't hate on artists like Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan because so-called "true punks" think they shouldn't be listened to. I actually have heard their music, and while they may not sing about the government, they're still great artists.

attention whore
Savannah Flowers, Sara's parents' dog, is such an attention whore. No matter where you go, she follows you. Whenever you're eating your lunch, tending her owners' garden, or feeding the hens grass, she will always bug you. She won't even protect the chickens which she loves so much.

life ain't always beautiful
a song by country singer Gary Allan that emo-haters and others who hate depressing music need to hear so they can see that life has its struggles
"Life ain't always beautiful. Tears will fall sometimes. Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful life". Face it, people. Life ain't always beautiful, so why do you have to go and diss depressing music just because the singers aren't happy all the time?

double standard
Some more examples of double standards:
A musician in any other form of music sings about a problem. Nothing happens. But when a singer in the pop music field sings about a problem, they get dissed, having the disser falsely believe that the star has everything and shouldn't complain.
At my job, there are quite a few male consumers who have female staff. But the number of female consumers having male staff is extremely rare. There are a couple of exceptions to that rule, though.
A woman rapes a boy and marries him because she is pregnant with his child. They appear on the news. A man rapes a girl and the girl is pregnant with his child. Nothing else happens to them.
A woman cries. Nothing more happens to her. A man cries. He gets taunted and teased because he's been told that men don't cry.
Black musicians get the Tv station BET. White musicians don't get anything like that. If they did, they'd be considered racist.
A disabled person gets made fun of because of something they do. The insulter gets away with the taunting. If the disabled person fights back, they get the punishment.
