It's more off an offshoot of Punk, Goth is a whole different thing. Â*A lot of people say it started with bands like Fugazi, although I think Ian McKay would be quite pissed to hear that. Â*I think Emo bands are really just modern/progressive rock bands. Â*But these dumb kids are trying to claim them as their own. Â*Emo: short for emotional, code for lame.

I love Fugazi. Ian McKaye would kill somebody for saying his music, especially Minor Threat is 'emo'. Minor Threat, along with Gorilla Biscuits and Youth Of Today really started the whole hardcore scene. Fugazi is more of a skater punk band. I think it really became it's own thing as an offshoot of hardcore like 15 years ago. Punks would not allow such homogheyness. A lot of kids I knew that crossed over into kinda the emo scene listened to bands like Young Pioneers, not that their emo, but thats where the bridge is, the crossover.
