There’s good country and good emo. Dori Freeman is an excellent country artist, Japandroids are excellent emo (though they step outside of the generic emo box, though that’s also kind of my point). It’s just that anything that would be played at a mall is hot garbage. Which brings me to my stance: mall pop sucks, all of it. Mall country, mall emo, mall funk, you name a genre, it can be commercialized and played in a mall, ruining it
Country pre-dates emo…
Yeah. It should say “emo music is just country music in the city”

I’d love to hear an example of “mall funk” lol.
That implies they have some use. At least shit can be used for fertiliser. Emo and country are more toxic radioactive waste.
Human shit can’t be used for fertilizer. I mean, I guess it would work, but it’s against a shitload of health and safety regs.
Or better yet, “emo is just country music for the suburbs”
Or “emo is city country” for maximal confusion out of context.
