what i don't get, and this is completely unrelated to the topic but who cares, is how so many people can dismiss emo as angst-ridden whining about "oh noes this girl won't go out with me." i dare you to name one at the drive-in song that's like that. i've yet to hear one.

Go cry in the corner, emo kid!

Anyway, I dunno about all that, most of us just like to tease our emo friends by saying that, but we dont mean it (by 'us' I mean my fellow punkish sorts). The reason the lyrics to 'Such Great Heights' bother me is because I find them terribly lame. The whole 'and when we kiss they're mirror images' deal with the eyes and the 'God Himself did make us two something about perfect peices or some crap'. It's just... lame.

it's possible. atdi is really the only emo band i'm familiar with (i need to check out modest mouse and rites of spring at the very least as well, though), but most of their lyrics are political.

Stop calling things emo. People too often mix things up. Modest Mouse is indie rock, imo. Indie rock is funner to be "in to". No confusion.

i'm not really the one who dubbed Modest Mouse 'emo.' if AMG calls them emo, then emo it most likely is.

i do think emo is a ridiculous label though, and don't really regard it as much different from most indie rock. music is supposed to be emotional anyway, why is emo more emotional than most indie?

I think I heard one of their songs on the radio (Q101 Chicago's fairly good with playing new songs, as large radio stations go) and it was pretty good.

Death Cab for Cutie sucks, though.
