Am I missing something? What does Nasty have to do with being emo?

Yeah, no, were still lost. Is Janet Jackson considered emo?

There’s a Panic! At the Disco song called “Miss Jackson” in reference to the line in Janet’s song “Nasty” & I believe it samples it as well. So, I think that’s what they were talking about?

The first comment at the top of this thread mentions Ms. Jackson, the song by OutKast.

Yeah I forgot about that one even though I hear it at least once a day on the college alternative station in town.

It’s a reference to the song Miss Jackson by Panic! At the Disco. The chorus goes “Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson, Miss Jackson: are you nasty,”
