e·mo·cen·tric
adj.
1. One attaining the view that music (specifically emo) is the center, object, and norm of all emotions.
2.
a. A limitation in behaviour and/or preferences to music that is played by persons in tight clothes with a heavy emphasis on emotional themes.
b. Only affected by the feelings invoked by “emo” because the emotions of others relate exactly to you; they are singing about you.
3.
a. Influenced or inspired to one’s self as pertaining to anothers act of pure emotion.
b. Taking one’s own emotions (or emotions transferred from song) as the basic for ones own philosophical system and mannerisms.

In psychology, emocentrism is defined as a) the incomplete attachment of the self to the emotions of songwriters, ignoring ones own actual emotions and thought and b) the tendency to perceive, understand and interpret the world through the emotional writings of others as they apply to the self. The term derives from the Greek emô, meaning “bangs over the eyes.” An emocentric person has no theory of emotional individuality, cannot help but “put himself in everybody else’s shoes,” and believes everyone feels what he and Chris Carrabba feels (or that what he understands about the music in some way exceeds what others understand.)
