LINK: I read this New York Times article on teenage bloggers with some interest, especially as Matthew Yglesias made a trenchant observations about the use of the word 'emo.'
I was talking, during Beckypalooza I, to a friend of mine who didn't know about my blog and briefly explained the concept to he. She didn't quite grasp that it's not so much an online diary as a way to talk about politics and various other interests, but she did definitively declare (and she's the sort to know these things) on blogging: 'that sounds so emo.'
So maybe it is emo.
