What's worse -- emo "rock" or rap?

I have come to the conclusion that KingCrimson776 was the only intelligent life form to answer the question One person that answered the question tried to convince us emo "isn't crap". Another gives us a list of "Real emo bands" and "pop punk bands" so we can distinguish between the two genres. i believe they forgot to mention the distinct similarity: IT ALL SUCKS!

Emo music is awful, fake emotions are just annoying.

I've always had a sort of personal loathing for rap.

^^ I always pictured the distinction more like, the old skool stuff like Grandmaster Flash and Run-DMC, and also newer but more classicist stuff like Mos Def and Jurassic 5 as Hip Hop, and stuff like Ice Cube and Tupac as rap. Both have a few OK artists, but mostly suck. A Tribe Called Quest is my favorite Hip Hop group, and Tupac is my favorite rapper, simply because he has flow and is easier on the ears that most; his lyrics are still awful.

Well, now that I think of it.

^^ Oh come on, rap had the prestige of having "FIDDYSENT" among its ranks, you know, the guy that has that really cool song where he raps about being overly materialistic, hoes, violence and bling. Yeah, i'm sure people know that song i'm talking about.

I'll say, i never thought that you would like a band with Jared Leto in it. :) Are you sure they are any good? I am very open to all sorts of music, really. I have given up on that "image"-thing, when i only listened to prog and thought i was so cool because i bashed power metal, but i have always thought 30 seconds to mars was aband which got airplay simply because Jared Leto was in it. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, however.

No it exists and it is terrible. Atmosphere, RJD2, Aesop Rock....not one in the bunch I like.
But the jazzy hip-hop concept intrigues me.

Both are terrible for the most part, rap has some alright guys like A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, emo is better overall than rap, but it has no artists that redeem it. I'm sorry, 30 Seconds and At the Drive-In suck. The best emo song is I Walk Beside You by Dream Theater.
