finding emotive

Looks like the Emo Guild has 'emo music' problems to deal with.
To get into this guild, there was a list of music that you needed to say.
Mainstream-wise, those are considered emo.
However, the true display of it has completely changed thanks to idiot fan girls/boys who have found a new reason to own razors and die their hair black.

A link to the description of emo music. Let me just c/p some stuff here:
Emo is a subgenre of hardcore punk music. Since its inception, emo has come to describe several independent variations, linked loosely but with common ancestry. As such, use of the term (and which musicians should be so classified) has been the subject of much debate.
In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe the music of the mid-1980s DC scene and its associated bands. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the DC scene and some of the regional scenes that spawned from it. The term emo was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and literally emotional during performances. The most recognizable names of the period included Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party and slightly later, Moss Icon. The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s.
As the remaining indie emo bands entered the mainstream, newer bands began to emulate the more mainstream style, creating a style of music that has now earned the moniker emo within popular culture. Whereas, even in the past, the term emo was used to identify a wide variety of bands, the breadth of bands listed under today's emo is even more vast, leaving the term "emo" as more of a loose identifier than as a specific genre of music.
No real definition? It's hard to say. ;]

Basicly Emo is emotional hardcore punk from the 80's DC scene, with Rites of Spring given most credit for being the first emo band.
Don't forget the other bands from the DC area, like Hoover, Indian Summer, Still Life etc. 3nodding
