I agree. Way too many people put too much effort into categorizing a band, fitting them into a genre, then finding a sub-genre to fit them, etc etc. I wish that people would stop wasting so much time debating weather it's punk, or pop-punk, or emo, or emocore, and just decide if they think it's good music or not. I you like it, that's all there is to it, it doesn't matter in the least what genre it is.

Post-Hardcore.

Since I belive in the whole "opinions not labels" thing, i would classify them as music. but in labels terms, i would say they are emo...not typical emo...but the song understanding in a car crash and cross out the eyes...just look at th lyrics.

yeah...what she said

slow and pansy have exactly NOTHING to do with being emo. zero. the reason everyone thinks that is because emo was the first sub-genre of punk (attention people who think they are elitists: don't start pouncing on that, emo grew from punk, no question.) with enough confidence in their musical abilities to slow down a bit. Emo can be fast or slow or anything.

Thursday is emo. emo is not a bad thing. and stop with this stupid "they are post-hardcore!" junk. Post-Hardcore IS emo. Don't believe me? read on.
Ian MacKaye (i hope everyone here knows who that is) went from the famous HarDCore band Minor Threat to the undeniably emo Fugazi. This occurrence was extremely common. Hardcore was quickly dying out in the late 80's, and many hardcore kiRAB started emo banRAB AFTER they were in hardcore banRAB. Hence Post-Hardcore.
