Emo music attacked over teen suicide

Genre blasted again after 13 year-old 'emo girl' commits suicide

I appreciate that this is a raw subject and that the suicide of a 13 year old has to be, and should be, taken seriously. But to come out and blame Emo directly I think is terrible, especially homing in on one band.I am not a "emo" but I do like to listen to some of the labelled "emo" bands. I have no feelings or thoughts of wanting to self harm or commit suicide after listening to the music.Perhaps it could be plausable to point the finger at "Emo" culture, but to put focus on My Chemical Romance is appauling. People all over the world commit suicide and self harm, normally it is a cry for help or because something is making them uncontrollably angry or upset and they can see no light at the end of the tunnel. My Chemical Romance do not push this behaviour or encourage it. Im sorry for the families lost but to say what they have said is wrong.
