Didn't help that a bunch of decent post-hardcore bands got called that, too. And then some indie rock bands for some reason. Next thing you know, it is the most vague pseudo-genre of the 90's. And then in the 00's, all the teenagers got upset that the generation before (mine) didn't do anything culturally relevant so they latched on to the last thing not raped by pop culture and proceeded to rape it.

Of course this is just my theory and I wasn't there. But regardless Moss Icon and Indian Summer have some sick songs.

i can't believe people actually call themselves emo now. i guess they don't understand the root of the word.
