Emo

Emo is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as “emotional hardcore” or “emocore” and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.

People like James Phillips are imbeciles. These are just poppy punk bands with fringes, (not saying that they are bad or good). Real Emo is Sunny Day Real Estate & the like ...

i still listen regardless of popularity, ive found modern-emo to be a comfort zone. i couldnt give a shit for rites of spring, sounds like low-budget garage rock and surprisingly lacks the "sad" emotion that is much-needed

only bad band in top 8 is The Used. I remember the good old days when all those bands were huge. I don't understand how their popularity crashed like it did. None of them started releasing lower quality music or anything.
