Emo's not really my thing. I hate to sound waspish or mean but it seems a bit all the same to me *runs* and its not got much depth or intellect or art to it. Saying that tho, when i'm a bit indied out i like a bit o taking back sunday, and i went to see hifh. I also like lost prophets and ffaf (which isn't very "cool" i know but like i give a fuck!) and my mates really love it so i suppose i'm getting into it a bit. Plus emo boys are really cute, and come the closest to the sort of music i like. mind u theyre only cute when theyre not crying about their ex gf or wetting their beds. 
Brand new are pretty good to listen to. I'm also gonna get sohuted at here - but i try not to like it cuz its so cool to now, i still like to be different.

emo nowadays is not my kinda thing
i like a lot of the first wave of emo bands from the early 90s though, the bands that actually had some talent and weren't just part of a fashionable media hyped scene.
1;braid
2;the appleseed cast
3;american football
4;cap n jazz
5;joan of arc
6;hey mercedes
7;the promise ring
8;the gloria record
they're the main bands who come to mind for me. i like some of the bands mentioned in this thread such as weezer,death cab for cutie etc but dont really consider them particularly emo myself.
there's also a few young english bands i like who i suppose you could catergorise as emo but not in the modern meaning of it. these are bands who are more influenced by the bands ive listed above...
the lucide console
the little explorer
the jesus years
econoline
etc etc

What is everyones problem with emo? Emo to me has delivered some of the most talented and dedicated bands around. Ie : brandnew, Thursday, Funeral for a friend, bright eyes.
Emo has been dragged down by all the 15 yr olds who conform to big fringes, star tats and all the other labels that are associated with them. Even though i wouldn't call them emo, and more so scene fashionistas, spurred on by myspace and other such vanity websites.
there are people like me who don't dress like that but still enjoy a good emo gig, but it seems you cant win either way with this one

I just wish other people would realise this instead of grouping emo music with this and then maybe they'd stop being so judgemental and give things a listen.
Like it's already been said Bright eyes and the promise ring are too really great bands and people are missing out on what I think is great music. Also I have never listen to a song by an 'emo' band and wanted to slit my wrists...

In my experience the stereotype emos dont actually want to slit their wrists, they want to talk about slitting their wrists - a lot.

Are Jimmy Eat World classified as Emo? I think that might upset a fair few people.
