They don't shut up. All they do is sing to be pity whores and cut their wrists. And if you actually READ the Hawthorne Heights lyrics, it's pretty smurfing obvious that they're going through some emotional stuff.

If you actually look, almost all of Rites of Spring songs are like that. Hawthorne Heights are not, they have a few. And if having some songs with emotion makes a band emo, then pretty much every every band out there is emo.

Anyway, I'm done arguing. I can tell you're one of those ignorant people who assume that because a band has a high pitched voice that they are emo. Or because they have girl pants or whatever.
