I'd say bands like The Smiths and The Cure are more the definition of "emo" than any of the bands listed.
See, me knowing nothing about emo would describe those 2 bands as emo. I don't think that's what other people use though.
Weezer is NOT emo. lol They are pop rock.

/agreeDefining music to a genre is retarded and impossible.

I can see how Cure (Disintegration) can be classified as emo, but I don't see Cure (Boy's Don't Cry/Sunday I'm In Love/any one of their other dozen hits).
It can't just be the black lipstick and makeup, right? lol
Pinkerton is pretty generally accepted as the first real emo album. "lol"
what?
By whom?
Being that it came out in 96 and SDRE Diary came out on 94. SDRE is certainly universally "accepted" as emo... not to mention the many bands and albums before them.
No it's not about their clothes or what they wear. It's the attitude and some of their lyrics. That's why I said some people would call them Shoegaze, but I think they influenced a LOT of emo bands and their music was the start of a trend.
If you get right down to it, Joy Division and Depeche Mode could fit into emo (though more of an electronic band) based upon their lyrics, style and moods. It's hard to say because some people think AFI and other crap is emo. So what is the true definition... That is why it's hard to say what bands are really "emo".
I certainly think The Smiths and Morrissey (he's way emo) can fall under the emo classifications. Those types of bands started emo I think.
All IMHO
Sarcasm...it's what's for dinner.

How do you know he was being sarcastic though? I think he was being serious.
the "lol" in quotes was a dead giveaway.
I don't really know what emo is. I looked it up on wikipedia, and I'm still not sure. What sounds like emo to me is Mazzy Star, and I love them.
I guess i like emo music then... who knew???Weezer is NOT emo. lol They are pop rock.

Or maybe not...Pinkerton is pretty "emo" The Cure and The Smiths are most certainly not.
