Oh and I find this stuff very interesting. I recently saw a documentary about Punk on IFC that cleared up some stuff for me.
From what I understand Emo used to be short for Emotional Hardcore and Hardcore's short for Hardcore Punk. But most emo these days doesn't sound very hardcore.

Rock music is still great, you just have to dig deeper to find it. What you see on MTV and hear on the radio is not all that's out there.
