What people think as emo? Thousands of people still think simple plan is emo. To me its like calling heavy metal classical music. Remember when punk started getting all introspective and emotional? We don't call it punk...we call it emo. We don't call it the Newer Punk Rock because it was different. Although, bands like DC, Brand, and TBS are wrongly classified as emo, they are not the New Emo. Just like Mineral, Cap'n Jazz were not the "newer punk" they were a different category.
So in short TBS is not present-day emo because it is entirely different. It is present day pop-rock.
