for once, i agree with you. i notice you left out emo as you probably don't know what it is, which is good, cause it is shit. blink 182 is a whole nother kind of shit, not emo. did i mention emo is utter shit?

You can say that but punk shows can be fucking great. The fans of punk bands are usually total junkies and deadbeats and have nothing better to do than do drugs and start moshpits

I saw the Casualties live this summer, they weren't too bad.. though they had the spot at like 11 in the morning when most deadbeats are still passed out in somebody's basement

They're neither goth, punk or emo. But they are (were) definitely in the more tolerable end of the popular music spectrum.

What's an emo?

That's actually incorrect. Emo is a genre by itself. The emo sound (in the beginning called emocore) evolved out of the hardcore punk scene in the late 80's, by among others, punk legends Hüsker Du and Fugazi. It took a more personal and emotional approach to songwriting than the otherwise usual antagonism and machismo of the punk scene. The song structure and harmonies also became more complex and intricate than the usual punk fare.

The emo scene remained very obscure and underground until the mid-90's, when Seattle band Sunny Day Real Estate with their album 'Diary' from 1994 created the "modern" emo sound. They combined the rough and obscure emocore with Seattle grunge, making it much more approachable and creating an explosion of followers and imitators.

Emo can still be considered an underground genre though. Although uninformed media frequently put the "emo" label on any angsty teenage pop/rock, the real emo sound still has it's roots in hardcore punk, and there is a thriving emo scene living away from mainstream media, supported by indie labels such as for example Deep Elm.

there are a few examples like at the drive in though.

Nah, they're not punk. They do rock, though.

Goof, you're such a fucking moron. Just because the bands you listen to can't write tunes catchy enough to get airplay, they're automatically great.

Actually, you're so fucking old and househusband-bound, you probably think the UK Subs are still the hot new thing the kids are listening to.

Translation: sounds like punk, but has minor chords and weedy vocals with lyrics about how the songwriter can't get laid.
