Several bands listed should not be on this list[edit]

There are several bands on this list that should not be on here as they are not emo bands. Please fix this and check your source before you put anything on here.

All American Rejects- "The All-American Rejects are an American rock band formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 1999.[1] The band consists of Tyson Ritter (lead vocals, bass guitar, piano), Nick Wheeler (lead guitar), Mike Kennerty (rhythm guitar), and Chris Gaylor (drums, percussion)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_All-American_Rejects

Family Force 5- "Family Force 5 is an American Christian rock band from Atlanta, Georgia.[1] The band was formed in 1993 by brothers Solomon "Soul Glow Activatur", Joshua "Fatty", and Jacob "Crouton" Olds. The group has released five studio albums (including a Christmas album), nine EPs, and two remix albums. They are often noted for their raucous, party-centric personae and eclectic mix of genres, ranging from rap metal to dance-pop." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Force_5

Flyleaf- "Flyleaf is an American alternative metal band, formed in the Belton[1] and Temple, Texas[2] regions in 2002. The band has charted on mainstream rock, Christian pop and Christian metal genres." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyleaf_(band)

The Fray- "The Fray is an American rock band from Denver, Colorado." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fray

Jimmy Eat World- "Jimmy Eat World is an American rock band from Mesa, Arizona, that formed in 1993." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Eat_World

Kutless- "Kutless is a Christian rock band from Portland, Oregon formed in 1999" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutless

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- "The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is an American rock band that formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 2003." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Jumpsuit_Apparatus

Story Of The Year- "Story of the Year is an American rock band formed in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1995" -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Story_of_the_Year

Switchfoot- "Switchfoot is an American alternative rock band from San Diego, California" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchfoot

I'd argue that Jimmy Eat World is an emo band. Other than that, you're right.68.67.109.78 (talk) 21:47, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the 1975[edit]

Who the hell edits this page? Seriously, who in their right mind woke up and decided to add the 1975 to this list? Certainly it couldn't have been someone who has done ANY amount of SURFACE LEVEL research on the emo genre. And that's just the first fucking band. Somebody who actually knows what the hell theyre talking about needs to clean this page up ASAP. Please.

@2603:6080:7B40:742:1529:3ADB:64F8:26AA: I have removed The 1975 because the source that was provided wasn't reliable. Also, we are not going to remove bands just because you don't think they fit the genre. We go by what sources say, not what Wikipedia editors say.

You should add the band Dads to list of emo bands. They were highly influential, on a lot of "best of" lists, and received a 7.5 from Pitchfork. ^[1]

Add Band[edit]

The band Origami Angel, which has a wiki page, is not listed here. For whatever reason, their primary page just calls them a "rock" band, but right underneath that it defines them as most closely associated with emo. Please add them to this list, with blue text so they can see the page for OA.

Add Band 2: Electric Boogaloo[edit]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Fictions

Another emo band that absolutely should be on here. A tremendous example of "Midwest emo", very closely aligned with math rock, "Short Fictions". 2600:6C40:6100:C500:EC8A:7794:C453:2DF7 (talk) 15:38, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
