1. This thread hurts me inside, like if I'd eaten a rose and the thorns are tearing out my intestines.
(Mmm, my emo needs refining...)

3. Depends on what you mean by emo.
A lot of the stuff I like would be considered emo by some, but not the floppy black hair emo kid type of emo, for the most part.

11. I was thinking more along the lines of Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real Estate, At the Drive-in, etc.
Most of which would probably be considered indie or punk or post-hardcore or whatever. Emo is a lame idea anyway. All music should be emotional. (Not sad, but emotional.)

15. Rites of Spring are one of the bands originally described as emo. Or "emocore."
Though Guy hated the whole concept of being called "emo."

17. They were pretty hardcore.
I'm not sure that I've heard such purity and honesty and passion in a performance since then.

18. Guy Picciotto is pure passion.
Fugazi's performances that I've seen are nothing short of incredible.

10. The funniest line I ever heard from Letterman's interview with Emo
The interview was over and the last thing that Dave said to Emo...was "I'd like to beat you with a stick." lol
