first off, i agree with the person who suggested removing 'emo' from our 
music vocabularies...but we still need a term with which to pigeonhole the 
music, otherwise we'll suffer from wicked gestalt voodoo--SO, i suggest we 
call it 'elmo rok' from now on. any other ideas?

i know a lot of hardcore bands & i've heard way too many hardcore 
recordings..the phrase "fucking emo dick-lickers" has come up on more than 
one occassion both in discussions i've overheard and in live gigs and on 
record, so it's good to know that in the hardcore scene there are some other 
opinions about elmo rok.

the label 'emo' is a little broad though--while hardcore kids might dig Boy 
Sets Fire they're not likely to get hateful listening to Mineral or 
Karate....

How can we get away with claling this a Modest Mouse list, i wonder..
