Are there any bands/singers that are labelled emo? I hate it when people call RHCP emo. Your views...

I have views....and I hope that they make sense....please forgive me.

The 60's gave us Garage

The 70's saw this morph into Punk

The latter part of the decade morphed again....into a few separate directions.

Some would be angry......as Kings X and The Clash.

Some would be bubble-gummish....such as the Cars, Blondie and the B-52s.

Some would embrace the Dark Side of the Force....such as Joy Division, Bauhaus...and a bit later...the Sisters of Mercy.

After The Wave......Grunge took over....and they reigned.

and then ....all was lost to a mindless and senseless morass of studio tricks....with no real sense of peace, love and understanding.

My apologies........I did not address the actual question.

Emo.......is the natural progression of the trends that i listed.

I know no one has posted in this thread for a while, but no one answered the original question.

Of course there are bands/singers labelled emo. My Chemical Romance is a popular one, Roulette is also another one. They are labelled emo because of the 'emo'tion they bring to their songs. Very intense, very strong, very complex.

I dont quite understand the emo mentality because I am not emo, but that is for another thread!
