Hey you! I already said that!

There's different branches of "emo," that goes along with the separate waves of emo. You got the emotional hardcore group, but then you got the tight pants/makeup/songs about girls. I really don't see how it's foolish to wear makeup and tight pants or listen to emotional hardcore. There will always be some dicks in EVERY group.

This emo with the tight pants and such is just a new wave of it. Ultimately it's not the original defintion of emo (Embrace, Rites of Spring, etc), but it is "where it has gone" in a sense. I don't hate on the newest wave, in fact I like some of it, but it is a lil discouraging for me (and hell, my lovely lady), to see 14 year olds listening to Fall Out Boy (not an emo band, they're pop-rock if anything but I call them emo for simplicity's sake) and writing songs about breakups and claiming to be "true" emo without even knowing a thing about Rites of Spring or hell, even the second wave like Sunny Day Real Estate.
