emo

First of all, all of this crap out today like Dashboard Confessional and TaKiNg BacK SuNdaY lyk OMG!!!!!! is NOT emo. MTV just decided to call it that because calling it pop music wasn't "punk rawk" enough. Emo does not stand for "emotional." It stands for Emotive Hardcore, and had it's beginnings in the DC hardcore scene in the early 80's. This website >>>http://www.fourfa.com) explains it all rather nicely, for the most part. REAL Emo was never about being "scene" wearing tight sweaters and eyeliner, or acting like a pussy, it was about the music. But the Emo scene died in the mid 90's, and it should RIP, not be dragged up and slapped on all of these shitty bands as a label.

Rites of Spring, Texas is the Reason, Fugazi, Moss Icon, Iconoclast, Suny Day Real Esate, Hot Water Music, Hoover, Heroin, Get Up Kids sort of
