My music is so emo.

Earlier, I had decided to revise my iTunes. The few bands I listen to, I research extensively. That being said, after taking a look at the genre list, I realized something : About a quarter of the bands on my iTunes are labeled emo, while absolutely none of them are. After a minute or two of trying to manually change each one, I gave up; it would be ridiculous to change a hundred songs or so to another genre manually. In the end, I needed to open the file iTunes loads its playlist from, and "change all" from emo to the next most likely genre. At least this way, I've cut down the amount of work by half. Emo, of course, is the biggest fad there is, but I had no idea how severe. If I didn't know better, I'd say some people are changing all their music to "emo," just to look important for their friends. So, Basil, how many of your songs are wrongly labeled as emo? Edit : I myself have 40/450 songs left to fix, not including songs wrongly labeled as blues and punk.

Emotionallllllllllllllllll. EMOTIONAL MUSIC. I'd say all my music has some emotion, but no emo-ness.

Like, five? Not in WMP, I fix mine right away when they finish. I correctly label everything, I have no "emo" bands, because I don't like emo / emocore. Deathcore and stuff is where it's at.

By Emo you mean hardcore punk, right?

I don't know how to download music to iTunes since I'm computer illiterate.
