Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, that sort of thing. they're all brilliant.
(and Sufjan Stevens is freaking hot, if you need more convincing.)</p>
<p>I'm also nuts about this crazy Australian band called The Living End. it's this rad punk/rockabilly type stuff. sometimes there's horns. it's all amazing.</p>

<p>Oh really? Because every other music magazine seems to speak of Houston as being the 'Seattle' of rap.</p>
<p>Actually I'm not emo at all. I wear Old Navy MENS jeans, a hurley shirt and Nike shoes. I don't wear black eyeliner and I haven't cried at all lately. Actually, most of those bands are more alternative or hardcore than emo. I can't really stand rap and country just kills me. But whatever floats your boat. I'm not trying to create clones here :)</p>
<p>grunge isnt music either.</p>
<p>oh come on wpwannabe...its emo, give up. thats like calling atreyu hardcore.</p>
<p>Yeah, but you listen to Tool. The most pretentious music there is.</p>

<p>It may be pretentious in your eyes...but its one hell of an experience every single time I listen to it. As a friend of mine once said, "Their music is alive."</p>
