Comment:

I know that some of these bands (I'm thinking of The Ataris when I say this) are sort of looked down on by elitists, but this is a tape for a friend who hasn't heard emo before and is interested in getting a taste.
then, after a few hours and a lot of comments, i changed the title from "this is emo" to "this is not emo" because i was tired of having my choices questioned. :P

don't forget to tell her that this is the modern emo i.e. it doesn't have to be this way. love the title of the opener!

normally i'd object to ozma being called emo, but if you listen to their new record, maybe you'd be inclined to call them that. battlescars is a pretty emo song, in any event.

by giving her this mix, i think that makes you responsible for cleaning the blood out of the sink after she slits her wrists.

I maintain that Death Cab is emo-core, which isn't really emo.

I must admit that I don't know much about "emo" music. I have no idea what emo-core is. But when I listen to Death Cab and even The Postal Service, I get very emotional. No matter if people think this is emo or not, I like it... and I would challange any of these nay-sayers to define emo for me.

emo, to me, is any song that can cause a stir of emotion inside you. but really, im not one for "labeling" bands. or whatever. its all just beautiful music.
