Yeah, it definitely wasn't emo. Nor was the stuff they were calling "hardcore" at that time actually hardcore, but just easily accessible mall rock (Atreyu, Bleeding Through, From First to Last, etc)
When I think of emo, I think of a bunch of bands that had already come and gone by the time Dashboard Confessional brought the term to MTV-consciousness and then a bunch of stuff from the 90s midwest that didn't sound anything like those bands.
