  2. …holy shit, there are some stupid people in this comment section

    – The Used, Panic! At the Disco, Fall Out Boy ARE NOT “emo”. Hell, even calling MCR “emo” is pushing it.

    Panic and Fallout Boy are pop punk. The Used is hardcore.

    This list is pretty well-done, I am unsure why there are dislikes. But again, can’t be surprised by the stupidity within the majority.

    • bring me the horizon is not emo band. Bring me the horizon is metalcore like asking alexandria and bullet for my valentine

  3. WELL CARRY OOONNNNN WELL CARRY OOOONNNN AND THOUGH YOURE DEAD AND GONE BELIEVE ME YOUR MEMORY WILL CARRY OOOONNNN *cries in emo
