this is such a stupid thread. the responses are just a kid naming something and then a few people fighting over it.
ugh my favorite band's more recent stuff is pretty much emo in some aspect of the classification. but hey, for some reason, all their music really appeals to me. saves the day. the stuff off of "stay what you are" is probbaly their best, but the unreleased stuff off of their most recent b sides cd,ups and downs, is pretty decent if you are looking for emo. like "hold" and "im sorry im leaving". bright eyes has "saturday as usual" which could be the most emo song ever.
i dont know about motion city soundtrack. i really like them. i think they are experimental pop punk. fuck it, its about girls. MCS is a good band though. "the future freaks me out", "make out kids", "capital H", and "my favorite accident" are good. you should listen to those tracks to decide if you like them. oh and "lets get fucked up and die" is good too
