I agree, although I have no problem with people who play up the Revolution Summer, b/c some of the prolific bands are still collectively better than the 90s screamo movement. Neither WAS really anything to write home about. And after a while it gets tiring to hear bands like Dag Nasty and Nation of Ulysses get labeled emo...it really is a naughty word...the term didnt have much of a definitive meaning to begin with....even if there was such a thing, the word has become so bastardized that it is not worth the time to save it.
