I've done my research. Have you?

Just because a band says they aren't emo, doesn't mean they aren't. I know plenty of self-proclaimed progressive rock/metal bands who don't have any progessive elements in their music. These bands (the ones you said weren't emo) have emo elements, which is why critics/users call them emo. Emo may be a subgenre for them, but they are still emo.

Idiot, emo is a social tag now, not a genre. In the 1980's emo was a new subculture forming off of the hardcore movements. Now bands obviously arn't into prolonged synth bullshit, but we lump the word "emo" with "emotional" or whining to some degree instaid of emotional hardcore like emo origionally was meant to, because no one really gives a shit about the old emo bands. I myself listened and most of it was really lo-fi sounding and cheap, go 80's.

Alltogether, your assumed meaning for emo as the 1980's domminant genre over the emotional whiny asspect of music as everyone else generally sees it makes you seem like 1) a bigot and 2) some music know it all who can't tell a 7 1/2" record from an LP.

In actuallity from this definition.
FOB has obviously writen songs about relationships and more than likely ones about breaking up. EMOTIONAL LYRICS AMIRITE
P!ATD is stupid and that one hit song, whatever it was called, was about someone cheating on him. EMOTIONAL LYRICS AMIRITE
Or Green day is shitty pop-punk bullshit, GC and Simple Plan too. At least you got something right.
From First to Last is post hardcore but holy hell they wrote a song about hiding a girl in the walls and wearing her skin as a suit. She's probably wronged him at some point. EMOTIONAL LYRICS AMIRITE

And now ye worst offendee, My Chemical Romance. Whiny, bullshit, pop-punk, with a side of flase teen angst and lyrics about getting the shit kicked out of you in highschool. I lol'd. Save a rainbow, children.

The bands don't label themselves, the mass public does. All those bands you listed are all emo, because remember, your opinion doesn't matter.
