I'm not taking a cheap shot at emo culture, more the dyed in the wool worshipers that take a great amount of pride in being willfully blind to the validity of any other type of music. Its the general arrogance that annoys me. I like to keep an open mind and listen to lots of different things, it makes life far more exciting. I'm not sure people who live outside of South Wales can truely appreciate what I mean.

that is odd.
post-punk was music that took the elements of punk sound and attitude and vibe and created new music out of that (J&MC, the cure, siouxsie, etc)
post-rock is bands that take the elements of rock music and create a whole new music out of them (GSYBE!, Mogwai, slint, etc)
would not post-hardcore be music that takes elements of hardcore and then creates new music out of it, a la unsane, shellac, helmet, fugazi etc?
emo music came from rites of spring and bad religion and bands that "had feelings" about things I guess... I dont know. just curious.
