Rites of Spring - Formed way back in 1984, RoS are arguably the forefathers of emo. Although they were entrenched in the hardcore movement (their live shows testify to this), they despised the brutality associated with it, so instead their lyrics were deeply introverted, personal and poignant. Amazingly, they are thought to have only performed 15 times during their two year career; something which has only added to their legend.

- 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.
