Emo music attacked over teen suicide

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

Losing a child must be one of the saddest things that a parent can go through, but I think that it is wrong to blame musicians for people's actions. What must also be questioned is whether or not cause and effect have, in this case, been confounded. Do you listen to emo because you are naturally predisposed to be unhappy or do you become unhappy because you listen to emo? I would suggest that, tempting as it is to flippantly affirm the latter, in fact the former is true. I can only have the best of wishes for all her family and friends. It is a terrible time for them all.
