FWIW -- from Wikipedia -- "Keith Lionel Urban was born in Whangarei, New Zealand,[2] the son of Marienne and Robert "Bob" Urban. From the age of 13 he attended Sir Edmund Hillary College in Otara, South Auckland, New Zealand, by the age of 17 he lived with his parents in Caboolture, Queensland, Australia. "

So he is an Australian that was born in New Zealand . . . .

That conclusion doesn't come out of that excerpt. In fact, it says he's a kiwi who moved to Australia.

It is, but it's really a term of convenience rather than a genre of music. Lots of emo bands sound nothing alike, but they have some common elements...superficial lyrics about failed romance, self-indulgence, whiny, nasal vocals, and a tenuous connection to punk rock without any of the elements that actually make punk rock interesting. Jimmy Eat World is emo in the sense that they have all of those elements, but musically, they are miles above any of their "emo" contemporaries...Fall Out Boy, Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, and so on.

The bands he listed are all listed on the Wikipedia page for emo. I mean, I personally would list My Chemical Romance and AFI, but hey.

What I've described is exactly emo, and so are all of the bands I listed. I know you're a fan of the Get Up Kids and Sunny Day Real Estate, and desperately need to believe that emo is the most important and dignified genre that ever existed, but, sorry, it's more than just the bands you like.

Luckily, it would appear that 50 Cent's real surname is Jackson, which got me an answer that I didn't know
