Panic At The Disco aren't emo, says band

Panic At The Disco tell BBC Newsbeat they no longer want to be labelled emo, saying their second album 'Pretty. Odd' was meant to make people view them as a band.

Panic At The Disco aren't an emo band anymore. So, stop saying they are. Yes, I'm talking to you. Actually, the band say most of you have stopped already since the release of their second album, 'Pretty. Odd'. They told BBC Newsbeat: We haven't been asked about [emo] in a long time. With this new record our main goal was to make people open their eyes and view us as a band and not really as a specific trend".

They also said that their audience is changing: "We've been noticing a more broad audience, not so much young girls that people would think but there's more of a younger audience and the parents that come as well. So that's pretty sweet".
