I don't hear many punk bands today only playing 3 chords or still talking about the spirt of 77. There are a lot of great indie/punk bands out today like Black Lips, Be Your Own Pet, Cursive (they're not Emo like many assume), Pretty Girls Make Graves, etc. etc. I haven't really heard many experimental "Emo" bands, but when I say Emo I'm referring to new-age Emo bands like Fall Out Boy and MCR.

Emo is way more intense and better then punk.

Are you referring to older Emo or the more recent Emo bands like the ones mentioned above? Because if you're referring to stuff like Cursive or Fugazi or similiar bands, calling them Emo would be naive because musicians have been dealing with emotions and introspective lyrics as long as music has been around. So I think even the term Emo when used to describe bands like The Good Life or Cursive or whoever should be destroyed as well. Because once again, I'm referring to the new-age Emo bands that are really just pop masquerading as punk or something else.
