haha alright well....yea i'd have to agree blink is not emo..at all. lost prophets arent emo either. im not sure what to classify them as, but its not emo. lets not forget brand new or dashboard. they are very emo in my opinion.

I might be asking a dumb question, but would you guys tell me what category DeadPoetic and Silverstien would be under? :finger: Thanks a lot

I think they are emo... I love them. Especially Silverstien

Now sure bands like Taking Back Sunday are good, but like true emo at its roots are the above bands. Not to say that TBS or Brand New, etc. arent emo cuz they are, but if u wanna know REAL emo bands, the ones that have begat the newage group of emo bands, this is wut ur looking for.

Nice emocapella especially on naming Armor and Bayside but I do have to disagree with you on Motion City Soundtrack. Don't get me wrong I love these guys but I would consider them more pop-punk or bubblegum-punk more than anything I mean song like (I think its called) My favorite Accident have emo lyrics but its just to fast paced then songs like the future freaks me out are just confusing, awesome but confusing other than that though thats a Killer list, never heard of Jets to Brazil though

Thursday are NOT emo. They are Post-Hardcore. They may be a certain emo element to alot of their music with the fast-slow pace of some of their songs but they are not an emo band.

true true. motion city prob isnt emo, but i still think thursday is. o and another band i forgot to mention is senses fail. theyre awesome...

coheed and cambria emo!? im gonna have to disagree with that. they may be "part emo" but they arent a true emo band. they have too much of a progressive rock/metal sound.

oh but yea senses fail is a great band, i love 'em
