When I googled "emo bands" my chemical romance was the top return. But according to this, they're not emo. Hmmmm

To be fair, Washed Up Emo (who made this site) tends to be more "elitist" in terms of the emo bands they cover. So a band with a mainstream following like MCR would necessarily meet with distaste on their part, while a more unknown band like Sunny Day Real Estate would get the nod. At the same time, a mainstream band like Jimmy Eat World is considered emo, while a band like La Dispute is not. Essentially what I'm saying is these judgements seem rather subjective, as musical taste is wont to be, and I don't necessarily agree with a lot of their decisions. Regardless, I think it's good fun.
