Wentz kills emo

Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz had his hair cut on stage by Blink 182's Mark Hoppus, with Wentz declaring it the death of emo.

Anyone who's ever said that emo is more about haircuts than music will be pleased to know they were right. Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz had his hair sheered off by Blink 182's Mark Hoppus on Sunday night and this apparently killed the genre outright.

As Hoppus approached him on stage at Madison Square Garden, where the event took place (FOB were playing a gig, people weren't just there to see a live haircut), Wentz told the audience: "So you guys know Jay-Z's 'Death Of Auto-Tune', right? This is the death of emo".
