i love reading arguments about musical terminology. really, terms like emo and indie are redundant now. what music isn't "emotional"? what independently produced album doesn't make that band "indie"? grow up, listen to what you like.....

Technically, many, if not most punk bands are indie in regards to their DIY ethics. However, their sound is firmly rooted in traditional punk rock, which is basically a derivative of 60's garage bands but with a harder driving sound and generally anti-authority stance. Thus, I believe Indie should be used less a genre defining term, and more as a description of what the bands ethics are. Compare a band like Minor Threat to Of Montreal, both Indie DIY, but different sounding music.
As a former DC resident, person who knows a lot of these musicians, and someone with a wide variety of musical taste - I'd really wish people wouldn't associate "emo" (as it's known now) with the DC scene. "Post-hardcore" makes a lot more sense since a ton of these bands came from the hardcore scene and branched out to more melodic and experimental sounds. "Indie" might even apply since most of these bands are DIY pioneers.

is everyone on this page 20 years old and younger? you say things that reveal your musical ignorance, and with a name like d raver jim, i'm guessing you've spent far too many nights eating fake ecstasy and noodle dancing with glowsticks. if you're looking for the roots of today's "emo" you need look no further than fall out boy, good charlotte, blink 182 and Sum 41. it has no real connection to the new wave/electronic 80s stuff that spawned the term emo.
So we can blame Ian for all those EMO kids out there. Not only straight Edge but Emo. the world would had been a lot better if he would had just worked at a McDonalds.
