if ppl are gonna disagree whether this is emo, post emo, pre-emo..?, or not emo at all then an we at least agree that what is considered emo music today should be done with and bring this kind of music back

This is pretty good. I didn't like what was considered emo in the 90's...but it sounds Damn Good to me now. I found myself feeling defensive for the emo bands of the 90's when what the fuck ever it is that is now called 'emo' became apparent. Like, I thought the emo kids in my scene were pretentious jerks, but...they were Our pretentious jerks. Whatever...those of us who haven't stopped rocking aren't so divided anymore...just happy to still see each other at shows. Young until I die!

@samanthaulpaCDS789 Ummm, Emo started in 80's.

If people are ok with listening to lyrics they can't understand, I suggest people check out a fantastic Japanese band called Cowpers. They sort of remind me of Small Brown Bike or Drive Like Jehu. Also, look up "Bluebeard". They're a lot softer than Cowpers. Almost like Jimmy Eat World or The Appleseed Cast. They only put out one self-titled album in 2000 or so but every song is amazing.
I'm not Japanese but really into Japanese music, and it never gets enough attention in the West.

@crlsen hahaha yeah, even though emo is the correct word for these bands, the horrible, horrible reputation it has will probably never be disassociated with it. using the word "emo" on the internet is a sure-fire way to make everyone hate your guts. it's too bad, because emo is actually a respectable genre.

i love all of these bands (except i don't really know thursday or mineral). however, while yes, they're all emo, i wouldn't call them post-emo. isn't "second wave emo" a more apt description? first wave would be like rites of spring, second wave drive like jehu/cap'n jazz/american football, and then the third wave would be the get up kids and all of that other whiny shit that gave emo its horrible reputation. then algernon cadwallader and snowing would be emo revival.

@pinkpop91764 Emo and post-hardcore are the same thing dumbass. It all started with 2 bands; Rites of Spring and Embrace in the mid 80's which was after the hardcore movement, hence the term post-hardcore. It was then given the nick name emo-core of just plain emo (which the bands hated btw). Then came Fugazi who pretty much paved the way for bands such as sunny day real estate, ATDI, Drive like Jehu ect.
WHAT THE FUCK! calling At The Drive-in emo is a fucking INSULT to each and every one of them! They are POST-HARDCORE! GOD DAMN! why would you say such a thing about ATDI! Asswhole!

@pinkpop91764
You probably have no idea or concept of what emo actually is. It's a off shoot of early mid 80's hardcore punk not the pussy depressed shit on tv and radio. And correction, I didn't call ATDI 'emo' I called them post emo and for the record I only consider their early music (pre vaya) to be post emo, the rest is as you say post hardcore.

Cap'n Jazz were a band during the early-mid 90's. Emo started in the early 80's.
You're an absolute dolt.

Oh, and At The Drive-In is Post-Hardcore and Drive Like Jehu is post-punk/post-hardcore not "Post Emo".

the first ATDI full lenght was post-emo along with some of their early 7 inches... the REST was post hardcore.
Drive Like Jehu was post emo with a math rock over tone. some of their material however would be better described as post emo.
it's difficult because many bands that played 'post emo' only played it for a short period of time. it truly was an odd short lived genre.
