3. I like Jawbreaker a lot, but

...excuse my ignorance, what's EMO?

[wingnut]

6. emo is sort of like pop-punk

but really whiny and weepy and full of angst.

it was kind of silly 10 years ago, these days it's freaking ridiculous.

Still, has it's amusing aspects :)

[DrBB]

15. Does "Shudder to Think" count? If so

...I nominate 'em.

Hadn't heard the term before, though. What's the derivation? Only Emo I know is a really unfunny--but certainly whiny--comedian of the 70s. Is that it???

[ButterflyBlood]

[ButterflyBlood]

8. just THANK YOU

for not listing Dashboard Confessional or New Found Glory or any of that shit that has about as much to with emo as it is death metal.

9. You should've made "emo sucks" a choice. (n/t)

[ButterflyBlood]

11. Yes, I know what it is...

and as far as I'm concerned it's quite possibly the most annoying and overrated sub-genre of rock to come along since hair metal back in the eighties.

13. I love punk..despise emo.

blech blech blech.

[Loonman]

14. Fugazi is EMO? WTF?

That's fucking wrong.

EMO is pathetic and sad and totally lame weepy rock.

Fugazi kicks ass.

17. Fugazi and Rites of Spring...

Were the first to be called emo-core back in the 80's. Don't blame them for what it becamse. But they were easily the first bands to get hit with that tag when it wasn't a dirty word.

[ButterflyBlood]

19. wrong

emo is not what you said. that's like saying that korn or limp bizkit is metal.
