Emo has come in different forms and different waves throughout the years; i'd say that a lot of it had to do with stuff going on in Washington, D.C. Embrace, Rites of Spring, shit tons of bands on Dischord Records from the 80's and 90's. Fugazi itself, is a heavy influence by a lot of emo indie bands like SDRE, Jimmy Eat World, yada yada yada. I don't care what Guy Picciotto and Ian Mackaye say... emo has grown bigger than they ever thought it could have been. they may not claim it, but they had a stake in developing it and nurturing it. so it's not that fugazi is beyond emo... EMO has grown to be beyond fugazi.
my top 5 bands are: my bloody valentine, the beach boys, pedro the lion, ...aywkubttod, and starflyer 59!
