I can't stand the whole anti-emo thing! I'm NOT emo myself but at least I have the sense to respect people who are different to me! Honestly everyone they cop too much sh** from everyone, they cop to much sh** from teenyboppers for having a style other than preppy, and they cop too much sh** from the majority of Goths and metalheads because they "non-conform by dressing like everybody else" honestly you think they'd notice that Goths dress alike, punks dress alike, metalheads dress alike, rivetheads dress alike, preps dress alike and so on and so forth, every group is just a collection of similar ideas, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Agreed, it's extremely cliche.
I have to disagree with you about Subcultures though, they do not all dress alike, and have similar ideas, even the newer more incarnations of them are more diverse than how you make them out to be. You really don't give them enough credit.
I have seen alot of Goths claim that Emo is just a poor imitation of Goth, which is pretty sad being that originally Emo came out of Punk.
