This is the reason why SDRE is considered godfathers of "emo". This song is essentially the same kind of stuff TBS, Bright Eyes, etc. are singing about now. Personally I don't consider SDRE to be emo (if anything, I'd say melodic alt-rock), but you can see why so many newer emo groups cite them as influences.
