What I don't get is on this site everyone needs to have an answer for everything. Emo screamo and punk rock are the best type of music, unlike hip hop which only goes on about how the persdon just killed the last ghetto gangster. Give me Emo anyday.
And i would class the bands as emo, because guess what Emo stands for! EMOtional. Blink 182, Hawthorne Heights, Amber Pacific, Taking Back Sunday ect ect all have EMOtional and gorgeous song lyrics.
Give them a break and stop being such hypocritical steryotypes, because if everyone was one then i would class this site as a Nerd Ghetto.
No offence if i offend. xxx

how many times would it have to be posted before you'd realise that emo doesnt stand for emotional?
give me a number please, because i'd gladly cover it aslong as it made 1 ignorant person in the world realise.

So do The Smiths, Radiohead, Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Iron and Wine, Frank Sinatra and Jeff Buckley ...all emo?
Good points AC. Although I'd say that Minor Threat would be more of an influence on Emotional Core, in lieu of actually being part of the movement themselves. They are mainly construed as being a integral part in the early Hard Core scene.
The only true "Emo" Band that I like, would be perhaps Jimmy eat World. But, I've come to respect the rest as well. But, I have found my true enemies....
I.E. Mainstream "Emo" dubbed Bands, What is popularly called "Hardcore" these days, which is in truth "Screamo" and all others similar to these.

Isn't on the list though...I basically meant what I said.

Well, I guess I am ignorant. Someone help me, what Emo is a MUST?
well if you want a broad spread of what emo covers then...
Fugazi - Self Titled
Embrace - Self Titled
Indian summer - anything you can get really
Rites of Spring - End on End
my personal favourite section from the emo genre...:
Heroin - Self Titled
Mohinder - Anything
Swing Kids - Anything
Antioch Arrow - In Love with Jetts
and if you want some proper screamo i can give you a couple dozen bands i think are brilliant.

Hmm, yeah, would be nice. But lets say I'd like to order one Album (as for now) which could make me get into Emo? (Well, which would you think could is a good representation?)
difficult to say... problem is with emo, 90% of it was independant label stuff and now it's impossible to get hold of. Also, it covers such a large amount of ground... i mean Fugazi sound nothing like Swing Kids, who sound nothing like Indian Summer etc.
Fugazi are brilliant, i was seriously surprised you hadnt heard of them before, so i'd say if you want one album, go for Fugazi - Self Titled... but also i'd recommend finding a taster of it somewhere if you can (legally of course) to ensure its the sort of thing you want.
As for Screamo, my top 10 screamo bands (preference not fact):
Neil Perry
Saetia
Raein
pg 99
Joshua Fit for Battle
1000 Journeys of Jarwarharlal
Usurp Synapse
Welcome the plague year
Circle Takes the Square
Hassan I Sabbah.

I'd say the idea of good "Screamo" is Laughable. And thats NOT HARD CORE!
If you want the Real Hard Core, look for bands such as:
Agnostic Front.
Black Flag.
Bad Brains.
Minor Threat.
Discharge.
Right off the bat, Five great bands. Something you'll be hard-pressed to find among the "Screamo" Garbage.
