"I must say emocore must be the stupidest f$%ing thing I've ever heard in my entire life. But just in case you are wondering, I read in my Thrasher the other day, that in fact, what my band along with other bands in this city are playing is emocore. I'm thinking Emo Phillips, the comedian, emocore? Emotional hardcore?? As if hardcore wasn't emotional to begin with. Anyway, it's caca. I hate to say it but you can only hold your silence for too long about this stupid sh#$t." -Ian MacKaye, 1986
try searching in wikipedia about emo, there is picciotto's statement about being the creator of emo genre, he said, he dont consider emo as a genre of music, and they are punk...
This was before emo and still transcends it...blame mainstream whiny emo on the descendents, who were basically homophobic brainy jock-sniffers who sang beach boys bathroom humor punk but also wrote earnest love songs like hope,clean sheets, get the time, listen to those and you will hear todays emo in its infancy
"emo on the descendents" what the hell are you talking about? actually rites of spring is considered one of the first emo bands if not the first. descendents were melodic punk, not emo. get your stuff straight.
Wow, metal, these are actually probably my favorite RoS lyrics other than 7" songs & Drink Deep. Just curious about what you don't like about the lyrics?
this is real EMO music! damn good! ;p

Emo is a tongue-in-cheek term at best. Quit waxing semantics most of you have no idea what you're talking about.

Yes, but its the roots of emo. Its good. Guy Picato was in Fugazi, you cant disrespect that.
Now, Modern emo sucks, but so does modern rap, when there is some good old rap.
