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.

Minor Threat definitely wasn't emo. And it's crazy to think that it came out of hardcore, but that sounds right. In my mind Fugazi will never be emo, but they definitely had a sound that didn't fit into the typical hardcore and punk scene of that time. Like I said, I think they were more progressive. They had elements of different styles of music, but they had their own edge. But I don't think I would consider them skater punk. To me that's more along the lines of bands like Bad Religion.
