See post on "Real Emo Bands"
Emo was a genre and era roughly between 1994-99. The bands listed by some played in this period and had similar characteristics of introspective/melodic music. Some say it was a spin off from hardcore/post-hardcore but what's for certain is that it has some qualities of that also. I'm not really willing to say these characteristics of emo partly because everyone argues about it/I don't now all about it.
The emo era is just like the grunge era...sorta. It reached a peak and now is declining/dead. There are still a few bands linked to this "emo" scene but now its being replaced with other bands who play catchy, sappy/predictable music, where ONLY the critics and people, NOT the bands, lable as emo.
