A few weeks ago, I reviewed Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture, a tongue-in-cheek guide book and document of the modern “emo” scene. Since the book got me thinking about a lot of things, I decided to have a chat with the authors, Leslie Simon & Trevor Kelley who are both big shot music journalists from Alternative Press.

Besides sharing Pete Wentz’ cell phone number and even his hotmail address ([email protected]) I picked their brains on emo, writing books and answering the age old question of how and why someone would pay you to write about music.
