What defines 3rd wave of emo as a genre?

Tell that to La Quiete, ...Who Calls So Loud, Hot Cross, etc.

See; Afterstatis' post for my opinion for the most part on "third wave emo".

Why can't people spell his name correctly?

he has too many posts that peoples' fingers tremble in fear while they type. Hence, all the typos.

I hear his post count has a 20% chance to impregnate any women within a 5 mile radius of someone reading one of his thread replies.

There are definitely still emo bands out there, but I find that the best of them tend to lean more towards the screamo side of things. Orchid, Wolves, Books Lie, Kid Eternal, Last Forty Seconds, The Saddest Landscape, etc. are all really interesting bands.

Energy, Shook Ones, and Sinking Ships are a few of the great melodic hardcore bands out now as well.

I always felt Orchid didn't try hard enough with their music. But yeah.

i'd say bands like envy, gauge means nothing, funeral diner, raein, and the pine are good examples of 3rd wave emo in that they actually sound like emo and have a clue in regards to emo's roots.

I sort of like Gauge Means Nothing, but I find the vocals a fair bit irritating. Good post however.

@Onslaught_fei: People that know music know proper emo in the UK, it's the same as in the US, the kids jsut don't know what things are, the audiophiles get testy on the internet about it.
