This is called a generalization. A generalization is a statement made either out of prejudice or ignorance about something that says "Everything that is A is also B"
Examples would be like the above. That everyone who is emo is also gay.
Other common examples would be that all sports players are stupid, that all cheerleaders are sexually promiscuous, etc.

Not all "emo" guys are gay. That's like saying all black people are "ghetto" or all metro(sexual) guys are gay. Im sure some are, but it doesn't define them. [ DearAbby92's advice column | Ask DearAbby92 A Question ]
