I hope it's obvious that I'm asking a rhetorical question because clearly the answer is no. If it's emo culture that people find issue with than we may as well throw in punk, goths, metal heads and hipsters. All of which have formed sub-cultures around music as a way of rejecting mainstream values. Sure emo celebrates individualism but these are freaking teenagers we are talking about. Individuating is what they do.
Ultimately my point is this. Dismissing entire genres of music is an entirely ridiculous exercise. You can find worthwhile artists in any genre. Even country.
