"[Calling us 'emo' ] it's It's ignorant! The stereotype is guys that are weak and have failing relationships write about how sad they are. If you listen to our songs, not one of them has that tone. Emo is bull****! If people want to take it for the literal sense of the word, yes we're an emotional band, we put a lot of thought into what we do. People always try to stereotype us, but we don't fit the emo stereotype."

You spelt Urie wrong.
&&, why the hell are they getting their knickers in a twist about it? If i was them, i honestly couldn't careless what others thought about me, because they have such a large amount of fans who probably don't think they are emo.
Haha @ 'We want to be the new radiohead'. Even radiohead doesnt want to be radiohead. Thom Yorke is probably rolling over in his grave (Im assuming that he died after reading this). If they wanted to be the new radiohead, they wouldnt try to fit in with the sound of today.
Unless... theyre really smart and trying to pull what radiohead pulled. When radiohead first started, they sounded pretty much like every other band at the time with heavy chords, emotional lyrics and depressing looks. But then they used their new-found fame to change their style and impact and influence music. So technically, if it werent for radiohead's first few years of being a cliche 90's band, they might not have become nearly as popular as they are now.
It's possibly what PATD is trying to do... but I highly doubt it.
I dont think they're emo. They sure as hell look it, but like everyone else says, it always comes down to what the music sounds like. I dont think they would fit into emo.
the 1 on the right in that pic looks awful.
Just because the music isn't as emo as it could be doesn't mean they're not emo themselves. And they're nothing like Radiohead.
I don't know where they got that whole "we wanna be the new radiohead" business, but they're nowhere close to radiohead, unless by some stroke of luck they produce an amazing new album, which is highly unlikely, they will still not be close to radiohead.
¡Viva España!
There not emo..
And the lead singer just sounds whiney.
