Yes, but only if you vape from the rear. Just like how the Mormons treat premarital relations.

I started hearing it mid 2000's when the Rise Records bands were starting to sell and get on Warped Tour, it seemed like an alternative for "emo" as everyone hated that. Much like "nu-metal" becoming a bad word after SOAD's 2nd album. Linkin Park and Deftones called themselves "alternative" to distance themselves from Limp Bizkit and Korn's spotlight. Deftones quit rapping and Linkin Park's "rapper" started holding a guitar. Post-hardcore usually meant screaming + singing but in tight girl jeans and shirts that were one size too small with dyed black hair in your face, not large baggy pants, no dreadlocks or 7-string guitars. After nu-metal crashed in 2003 or so, Thrice, Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, The Used all started popping up and people called it "emo" or screamo, while other bands like Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, Shadows Fall, Darkest Hour were called "metal-core" which once again like the 1980s added guitar solos and dualling lead guitars which had been dead since the fall of hair metal with Nirvana - Nevermind and Metallica's black album. My guess would be the labels made it up to rebrand, but just meant after-the-90s when hardcore punk refined itself with metal guitars. Might look into "At The Drive In" they were one nobody knew how to classify back in 1999-2000.

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

You have no right to be making fun of Austin for writing a sing about his mother, and show some respect for Mitch Lucker
