I'll post a link to the an album I picked up of a collection of modern emo in a minute, i really don't like those bands actuallly. I threw the cd away.
Kinda funny that Mission of Burma did basically everything that RoS were supposed to have pioneered. In the 70s. I mean, going off what the idiots who post

How on Earth did you just post the hidtory of indie, then? Seems...Contradictory to point out the meaning....

Appleseed Cast is actually fairly cool. I have a record around here somewhere.

Anyway, Trips has it right. Most of the "It's not emo" lines ceom from people who don't want to be associated with pansies in black eyeliner.

Though it's funny that I've gotten hissyfits from mitch for saying Coheed and Camria weren't emo AND for saying they were. Sorry, that just never gets old. When it was all the rage to be emo, they were emo, and now that it's not, they can't be emo lolol.
