^ That page should have all you need to know about the genre. It's generally considered to be the emo primer.

Wahtever, I remember when Emo actually started. It was way different from everything on the market. In fact, I distinctly remember listening to an Emo band and thinking, "This is crap. Why are teens listening to this anyway?"
So before the marketing gets out of hand, now that it is popular to be Emo, I have created the blog as a marker so one day someone will work it out.
Though I didn't like Emo, though some of it is alright, I would like their to be a rainbow of differentiation in music and style. It seems anything becomes popular the same old has beens come in trying to make it seem as though their style is the only style anyone could ever love or relate too.
It is also odd how Justin Timberlake is still Hip-hop even though it is also prefered by Emos.

(I actually like Ben Folds and Bright Eyes, so could recall the lyrics and look them up. Otherwise, in general not a resource for other Emo songs. I just know what it sounds like.)
