Sunny Day Real Estate – If one band can take claim for cracking emo into the mainstream, then it's these boys. Signed to Subpop in their native Seattle (who had extra money to market the band due to the success of Nirvana and Soundgarden), SDRE released the defining album Diary in 1994 to relative commercial success. Frontman Jeremy Enigk's powerful falsetto vocals married with their rock sound are qualities directly echoed by many contemporary emo bands.

- mcr is not emo!!

- always the same shit -.- mcr is NOT emo.

- if people are going to call my chemical romance emo then i suppose abba was "emo" as well.
just because music might sound and look one way, it does not mean thats what it is on the inside. if the person who wrote this knew the boys from MCR then they would see that they are not emo at all.
