Yeah, a lot of emo isn't very hardcore. Evanescence is the "wah wah" kind of emo.
I know there are good underground rock bands though. I'm just not familiar with too many of them. :)
And yes, grunge > mainstream rock of today. Some talent is better than none. A common trend in music today seems to be "make the song as non-musical as possible." Do this by any means necessary: scream into the microphone in lieu of singing; instead of instruments, make obnoxious noises; add too much bass to the song. Do whatever it takes to make the song suck and kids who are looking for something "different" (when in fact they just go with the group like everyone else) will flock to whatever shit it is that you've put out. God forbid that you listen to those "conformist" bands that don't suck.
