Emo Your Views...What Bands Are REAL Emo Bands? (funk, indie)

Emo to me means emotive hardcore. Not pop punk with lyrics about ex girlfriends and rainy days and a scream from time to time, but a wide range of bands ranging from hard hitting walls of sound to soft melodic riffs. Bands from Orchid to Indian Summer. Emo doesn't always have emotional introspective lyrics, alot of the lyrics are very thought provoking, political and about soceity. Brand New is closer to emo than Jimmy Eat World, but I haven't listened to their whole record.
