A genre is being created to classify the type of music being created. But that does not change music as a whole.
yes, yes, emo is still a genre. I just hate all the hype that surrounds it. I used to listen to the used & glassjaw too, but nowadays radio's really saturated with tons of "the used clones" (not that i'm saying they spearheaded the genre) that it only makes me gag. Nonetheless, Blue & Yellow is still classic.
Anyway, it's kind of funny that you had to name the prog line-up though. hehe. no offense.
