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)

Please remove the 1975
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.


 * 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. Bowling is life (talk) 22:58, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

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. Minionbong (talk) 18:23, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Add Band
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
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)
