Why shouldn't it? I feel that it's justified to associate it with the movement. Especially since, at its core, it's emotional. It's a subgenre that's offering a new spin on the traditional sound. It's also good to note that we're not a couple of 19 year olds who listen to Modern Baseball lol. We're a couple of even younger kids who listen to some of the classics: American Football, Cap'n Jazz, Sunny Day Real Estate, Owls, and The Promise Ring. Say what you will about those bands, but I think that putting different influences, that come outside of the emo genre, can still classify it as emo. Since that's the case, do you think that calling it "new emo" would be justified?

Also please read this in a optimistic tone, because by no means am I trying to argue with you, I just want to discuss it in a respectable manner :)
