A true emo band and I mean emo, long before it was cool and people knew what it was would be "Thursday. " Rites of Spring maybe emo as some people claim, but I believe the music also has to have a sad feeling to it don't just sing about personal problems to a old school punk sound. Otherwise they'd all be emo. Other bands that people will more than likely disagree on but we all know that if we just heard the music and didn't know the history we would say they were emo no doubt no matter how much they deny it would be. The Used - old stuff Taking Back Sunday - old stuff AFI - inbetween old and new stuff My Chemical Romance - old stuff Senses Fail Silverstien Hawthorne Heights 30 Seconds to Mars A Skylit Drive - old Alesana Boxcar Racer People will say these bands are this and that, but seriously if there is an emo genre of music then what band is just emo and not also considered alternative, post-hardcore, etc. Screamo is another way of saying post-hardcore but the word itself wouldn't exsist without the emo word.
