interesting.....

I think you've left out the hardcore bands that were the first "emo" bands..such as Piebald in it's early days, and Shift, these are both east coast bands form the mid to late 90's...they were essentially hardcore bands, hardcore meaning hardcore punk, though the feel of hardcore at that time was very specific and not what one generally refers to as "punk"...

harcore bands like Gorrilla Biscuits I think influenced early emo too- they were not emo per se but they expressed in their lyrics their emotions and what was bothering them about the scene...and some songs were just funny.

ok, that's my 2 cents, just rambling on there....
