Emo

[Rain]

I always though the music, rather than the lyrics defined emo.

I would have thought the lyrics were much more universal than the style of music - I don't really understand what you mean, I think.

I think that music differs from emo band to emo band but the lyrics have the same root so it's definitely the lyrics that define emo music.For example,take Something Corporate and Hawthorne Heights do they have the same music?Nope but they are both emo.Or take Silverstein and Saves The Day...the same thing.
