Re: ITT you post the last 3 songs you listened to (no emo)
[ QUOTE ]
That's what i've heard but wasn't sure if i'd been hearing right. People would say 'emo' like fallout boy and i'd hear pop-punk. In fact I can't think of another band besides fallout boy mentioned. I'm out of the grid in this regard, somebody help me out.

Dashboard Confessional was probably the poster-child for late 90s/early 00s "emo".
Real emo (god I can't believe I just said that) is stuff like Texas Is The Reason, The Promise Ring, Cursive, Jawbox, arguably Fugazi, etc. Indie stuff from the early/mid-90s. Like NT! said, the word is sorta pejorative, and you'd never hear any of those bands self-apply that term, but there ya go.
