Appoligies if I may sound heartless btw. Of course her death is tragic, I just feel strongly that her parents are pointing fingers at something they wish to blame her death on.

In my opinion they are just looking for a reason their daughter killed herself instead of facing the fact that they had no idea what she was actually thinking.Just because one little girl got carried away doesn't mean the genre is behind itEmo's don't go throught 'initiation ceremonies'.Thats like saying you have to self mutalate in order to listen to James Blunt.Do you think people kill themselves because they listen to him?Or 'Beethoven'?So why 'My Chem'?Rap music also sings about suicideFor example in the song 'Changes' sung by '2Pac' the lyrics include'I ask myselfis life worth living should I blast myself?'The rappers music is not that of the aparent 'emo culture' and yet we see the same issuses arising.So if music taste does infact effect how we perceive suicide, shouldn't ALL genres of music be blamed?Get your stories straight.
