Pretty sure I used it properly... I think?

Looks like she just affirmed her own illiteracy.

And i get nothing? how rude.

Pinkerton is barely emo though? More just pop punk really. As for the rest of their stuff I'd just call it power pop.

He did say post-pinkerton. About half of that was Pinkerton.

lol i did not see the 'post' part :p:

Still, Suzanne is f*ckin awesome.

Lyrically I would say their early material is without a doubt classified as emo, their latest as well. They do take a power pop approach instrumentally though, no disagreements there.

You edited yourself properly ... Not judging you, just being a petty c*nt :)

I don't really see how. I mean, some of their stuff is a little emo-ish, but not like Mineral, Cap'n Jazz, or even Get Up Kids for that matter were.

Lyrically, I'd say only Say It Ain't So and Pinkerton are at all emo. In the Garage, Surf Wax America, Hash Pipe are all quirky nerd anthems.

I haven't put a ton of a thought into it really, I've just always been under the impression they considered themselves to be an emo band. The nerd anthem thing is true, but I only really consider their first two albums to be "emo" and the latest to be a slight return to that.
