There's no difference between a band like Monsula and a band like Honeywell? Call the genre terms pretentious bollocks if you want, but you can't deny that the two examples are grown from entirely different soils. I just chose to label them as such for accessability's sake.
Fourfa.com's a decent outline of emo's evolution and movements. I'm not sure I understand why so many people rag on the site...
Also:
Noisecore: Relatively broad term, but self-explanatory, nonetheless. There's a grind-flavoured half and a punkish, artsy half; bands like Anal C*nt, Melt Banana, Sore Throat, Gore Beyond Necropsy, early Boredoms and the like.
Queercore: More of a movement than anything else. Used to describe bands owned and operated by the ***/lesbian community, with a lyrical focus dealing with prejudice and intolerance. Music varies from band to band, but generally, it's a pop-punk sound with more of a pop-focus on occasion.
Jazzcore: A baseless term for Punk influenced jazz and vice versa. Few people seem to use it any longer, but it can refer to anything from No-Wave bands to Naked City.
Icecore: An ice core is a core sample from the accumulation of snow and ice over many years that have re-crystallized and have trapped air bubbles from previous time periods. The composition of these ice cores, especially the presence of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes, provides a picture of the climate at the time. Because water molecules containing heavier isotopes exhibit a lower vapor pressure, when the temperature falls, the heavier water molecules will condense faster than the normal water molecules. The relative concentrations of the heavier isotopes in the condensate indicate the temperature of condensation at the time, allowing for ice cores to be used in local temperature reconstruction after certain assumptions. In addition to the isotope concentration, the air bubbles trapped in the ice cores allow for measurement of the atmospheric concentrations of trace gases, including greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Ice cores contain an abundance of climate information. Inclusions in the snow of each year remain in the ice, such as wind-blown dust, ash, bubbles of atmospheric gas and radioactive substances. The variety of climatic proxies is greater than in any other natural recorder of climate, such as tree rings or sediment layers. These include (proxies for) temperature, ocean volume, precipitation, chemistry and gas composition of the lower atmosphere, volcanic eruptions, solar variability, sea-surface productivity, desert extent and forest fires.Typical ice cores are removed from an ice sheet, most commonly from the polar ice caps of Antarctica, Greenland or from high mountain glaciers elsewhere. As the ice forms from the incremental buildup of annual layers of snow, lower layers are older than upper, and an ice core contains ice formed over a range of years. The properties of the ice or inclusions within the ice can then be used to reconstruct a climatic record over the age range of the core.The length of the record depends on the depth of the ice core and varies from a few years up to 800 kyr for the EPICA core. The time resolution (i.e. the shortest time period which can be accurately distinguished) depends on the amount of annual snowfall, and reduces with depth as the ice compacts under the weight of layers accumulating on top of it. Upper layers of ice in a core correspond to a single year or sometimes a single season. Deeper into the ice the layers thin and annual layers become indistinguishable.
An ice core from the right site can be used to reconstruct an uninterrupted and detailed climate record extending over hundreds of thousands of years, providing information on a wide variety of aspects of climate at each point in time. It is the simultaneity of these properties recorded in the ice that makes ice cores such a powerful tool in paleoclimate research.
Alright, I'm just screwing around now.
