Have you heard 'New Kid' (a b-side)... It's basically exactly the same as Ender... slow soft bit a thte beginning, erupts into loud chorus and slightly heavier verses... It's good, but I just enjoy the fact that the structure of both are exactly the same...

You can go by haircuts too.

If it's crap and not dance music it's probably emo.

That's how I tend to define it.

There's different emo subsection thingys.

(Muse aren't part of any though... don't know who told you they were emo)

Emo
Emopop
Emocore
Screamo
etc

Basically you could have emo + most other genres. And someone with black hair will think up a silly name for it, including the word 'emo'.

Muse are emo?

...

emo is a punk offshoot...

'Emo' confuses me. I can now recognize emo-scum when i see them, usually by their ridiculous haircuts and extravagent use of eyeliner, but the nature of their music eludes me. I have been told bands inculding Muse, FFAF, InMe, A7X and MCR are all emo, but different people seem to have different opinions on them. A little help please?

And just for the record, metal: infinitely > punk.

Ender is a bit too 'arty' to be emo either.

But on the whole, it's basically emo personified.

I haven't heard Finch's second one.

Although I like the first one. Not as much as when I first bought it, but still. Anyway, I don't think all the album is emo... Project Mayhem? Not emo in my books...

The new album is "post hardcore" but Letters to You, the song most people have heard, is absolutely the epitome of Emo.

I don't consider Finch to be Emo.

Maybe I've just heard the heavier stuff.
