Continued from last comment.... But honestly, I just thought that all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional? What - they were robots or something? It just doesn't make any sense to me. -Guy Picciotto

Well, first of all, I don't recognize that attribution. I've never recognized "emo" as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever. I know there is this generic commonplace that every band that gets labeled with that term hates it. They feel scandalized by it.

Even though, technically, Sunny Day Real Estate is a "real" emo band. It brings to mind artists like Rites Of Spring, Policy of Three, Embrace and even later incarnations of "emo" like Portraits of Past, they all despised being called emo.

Because people have bad taste of music =/

Why is it that the best bands aren't that popular?

Damn... there will never be a band as good as they were.

This is my first time hearing this song and it's awesome! I feel like I have a better appreciation for what emo really is.

Are you daft? Emo stemmed from hardcore, when they were tired of singing about politics and social change. It was a movement, and the music has changed dramatically, but, to group Sunny Day with modern "emo" bands is silly. They were talented, had great structure and energy to their music. They're not some Vagrant band...
