Embrace - Following the sad demise of pioneering hardcore band Minor Threat, in the summer of 1985 frontman Ian MacKaye formed Embrace (not to be confused with the soppy English outfit) alongside three members of his brother Alec's band The Faith. Sadly they were extremely short lived, releasing only one album (pictured) before they split after nine months, yet the legacy of their emotional music remains. Like many contemporary acts, Embrace hated being called emo.

- 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.
