No mention of...

This may be ridiculous and I can't believe I took the effort to do this. But I am incredulous. Why is there no mention of BRIGHT EYES or AT THE DRIVE IN!? AHH. Maybe I'm off-base but both those bands I feel were pivotal/hugely influential offshoots of early emo. That Omaha scene deserves some mention (Cursive too!) If you want a source just listen to the album Fevers and Mirrors a few times (also, it's called fevers and mirrors..) Also sorry for treating this as a forum I just need answers.

Paramore & MCR

My Chemical Romance and Paramore never were emo. Gerard Way (MCR) himself said the band wasnt emo, and hates teh idea that MCR ever was "emo". as for Paramore, just listen to the music, its not emo.
