I'm probably echoing a lot of other comments but no...emo music isn't to blame. It's more the "culture" which some get involved with because a particular band seems to advocate that style. I've seen lots of teenagers that attend my school change their style dramatically after listening to emo music and some cut themselves without real reason to do so. It was even a trend in some groups here! I suspect there are a few bands knockin' around that do glorify the darker side of life...and death but it isn't the same for all of them...and anyway, people define "emo" differently.In all seriousness, a girl has killed herself. You can't shift the blame onto a band, she felt strongly enough about ending her life and did so. It's an extremely tragic thing which needs to be taken fucking seriously. People need to know that they can ask for help.. x
