"EMO" - Post Hardcore, emotionally frenzied and intricately loud, with outstanding roots in the Washington D.C. area. Namely bands like Soulside, Shudder to Think, Rites of Spring, Embrace, Fugazi et.
DEFINITELY NOT Dashboard Confessional, Jacks Broken Heart, the Get Up Kids, or anything remotely resembling the Gloria Record.
Please, refrain from using this word...
By the way, AF is probably my favorite band, whom I discovered about 3 years ago, and whose lead singer (Mike Kinsella) I have talked to in person. Simply amazing instrumentation, a step above all of the embarrassingly melancholy indie-pop out there today.
