you misunderstood. i meant saying "compared to x y is good" doesn't matter when talking objectively, because compared to hitler, x is in with a sporting chance. i hate 50 cent (chav) i hate MCR (emo) but better them than the fascists.

I suppose emo music has a certain integrity to it which chav music generally doesnt. Faux-sentimentality is still sentimentality, sort of. I find most stuff that grew out of hardcore to be repugnant to listen to, but at least they seem to believe in what they're doing, which is more than you can say for most chav music.
edit: on the otherhand, you could argue that chavs have an excuse for liking shit music since theyve been brainwashed by commercialism, whereas emokids have actually managed to seek it out and brainwash themselves.

the second part is why emo music is permitted under the heading of "objective reasons why emo kids are shit". in the former case, it's all about club music getting into a pissing contest where popularity is now generated independently of subjective quality. it happens with all scenes, just not as starkly as with the already-poor world of commercial pop music.
