Cheesr, I will not rant here; but you have answered the question. Does the Deragotis blog cite any sources? Is the Deragotis article anything but a independant blog? Once again, it provides no sources... Answer the question. If no, then it should be removed, according the very rules provided by Wikipedia. Answer that for me.

The answer as to your statement that a source can speak about ""things"" in history at any time, is certainly true; but, we are talking about things in our very lifetime; when newspapers, magazines have proliferated everywhere in America. For you to expand the scope to comparing D.C. EMO of the 80's to an an ""event"" orwhatever tothe year of the Norman's invading The British Isles is a classic sophistry. FOr the reasons stated above, in this context. 

I am simply saying that, your relying strictly on a criterion set forth on Wikipedia, to hamper what others feel it EMO (Scene) really is, in fact undermintes the very article on Wikipedia on EMO as it is. 

Am I ranting, or am I recting facts? The Deragotis article is merely exhibit A. You have not refuted my contention at all."
