I meant emotion as per its normal definition, i.e, you can really hear the emotion in his voice, not "emo" as we know it today as a genre. I should have been more clear. When I think of the birth of emo, I think more Rites of Spring or Moss Icon (awesome band if you haven't heard them) - early DC emotional hardcore (emocore) punk bands. And yeah it's a long stretch and a sad bastardization in what become today. Like Pete Wentz, dumb Fucker that he is. If you asked him if he liked Fugazi, he'd probably tell you he hadn't tried that restaurant yet and isn't really a fan of Italian food.

I'll have to check out SDRE more, have listened to a bit but not a whole lot.
