Real emo
Patatat:
I don't know what Trail of Dead they are talking about, but the one I am listening to doesn't sound a thing like emocore.
I thought you were saying At-The Drive In wasn't emo either. I don't think they are screamo or emocore, or some other sub-genre.

--- Quote from: My Aim Is True ---Ok, I'm not quite up to the task of making an emo FAQ (maybe I'll give ti a shot later though), but I always get sort of bummed when seems like people (whether they love it OR hate it) think emo means Something Corporate and Dashboard Confessional, or Taking Back Sunday, or whatever other craptastic band can't find anything to sing about besides a broken heart.
Declarations of SPIN and Alternative Press aside, none of that shit is emo. (Also, From Autumn To Ashes and Thursday are not screamo)
On a board like this, I'd almost take it for granted that people are at least passingly familiar with the old Dischord school of emo, but does anyone have a clue about any emo bands between 1986 and whenever these sad sack bands got popular? Does anyone realize that real emo bands are usually more like hardcore bands, and that hardcore is not all that angsty metal screaming break stuff shit?

Planes may have been on Deep Elm, but that was two albums ago.
Strike Anywhere is quite far from emo. I don't hear them going on about girls they've lost.
Ditto for Paint it Black.
Are you just picking names at random from the Jade Tree website? Because if Trial By Fire is an emo band, so is Nausea.
I don't think its possible to categorize Hot Water Music as anything but a KICK ASS band.
Aside from those, I'd say its an inspired list.
Sturge:
Cap'n Jazz ARE NOT AN EMO BAND
GO DIE IN A HOLE
you have just attempted to mutilate and awesome band :(
The only 'emo' band I like are Favez, because they're easy listening and you can sing along...
saturnine1979:
Cap'n Jazz spawned both The Promise Ring and Joan Of Arc.
get over it.
Patatat:
See people still insist on mixing New Age-Faux Emo that is similar to Pop Punk (good charlotte, simple plan.) that spit in the face of their father genres.
