Sunny Day Real Estate is the only emo band.

This. Also what greg said. I remember in high school being "emo" was wearing sweater vests and thick rimmed glasses like ol whats his face from weezer. Plus I've never seen an emo section at the music store because it would just be a retarded hodge-podge of random genres and time periods....

Also, I like some SOAD songs, but they went to the rage against the machine school of politics and the trent reznor (after Downward spiral) school of poetry. Basically I'm saying their lyrics suck.
