Seeing the phrase bandied about too often lately. And frequently at stuff that is genuine.

    Dillinger is a child of the hardcore scene and side steps emo entirely.

    BTBAM os adult contemporary death metal and isn’t emo sounding at all.

    Dillinger NOR BTBAM sound anything close to emo, which isn’t dead.

      that kind of metalcore/emo , higher pitched scremaing vocals (NB : these are not emo bands)

      Those emo kids would be mad if they could read over their stretched earlobes

        Ok. Let me rephrase.

        BTBAM and Dillinger don’t have vocals that even sound like emo/emocore.

        That you’ve lumped them in is telling.

        They’re wildly outside of the genre and sound nothing like it.

        So your comparison to emo with those bands is just you saying you like those bands and not emo. Which is fine.
