Can emo be a cultural misunderstanding?

I think thats a sterotype because not everyone knows what "emo is. (its a music genre by the way) So its not really a part of culture. Though I think they are the same thing, sterotypes and cultural misunderstandings. (But I could be wrong)

EDIT: Oh ok I see what you mean now. You could say it is one but your teacher will disagree. Its a misunderstanding alright (emo is a music genre but more than half of the teenage population thinks its someone who wears dark clothes and cries alot) but if you slapped cultural onto it I doubt that would fly. It is hard to think of one. Try google or something. Thats what I do.
