    They sing about cutting themselves and their songs are generally depressive and quite alternative.

    Singing about self harm and being 'depressing' doesn't automatically make a band 'emo'. Leonard Cohen isn't emo, Garbage aren't emo, The Manic Street Preachers aren't emo, neither are NIN. (They ARE industrial though... if they aren't, what is?)
