Sunny Day Real Estate - In Circles

Sunny Day Real Estate - godfather's of emo before Jeremy Enigk found god and Nate Mendel and William Goldsmith found the Foo Fighters.

Lately, I've come across a new deluge of anti-emo communities. I thought that backlash happened 3 years ago, but apparently the inundation of recent label signings of bands like Yellowcard, Story of the Year and Switchfoot have old schoolers crying foul. The funny thing is, old school emo wasn't called emo, it was called Weezer - before they went all Sabbath, of course. And don't email me to say it was actually Fugazi or Minor Threat that was the original emo, all true hipsters know that it was Kermit the Frog's "It's Not Easy Being Green."
