Fugazi – With the demise of their respective bands (Embrace and Rites of Spring), Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto formed Fugazi alongside drummer Brendan Canty and bassist Joe Lally in 1987. Admittedly their music is by no means emo – more post-hardcore with elements of funk imbued in – however, they did inspire emo bands in the mid-nineties to abandon conventional hardcore roots.

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.
