I have always heard Fugazi referred to as the pioneers of Emo. I agree that they have basically nothing in common with the emo of today.

Fugazi is not emo. The thing that they were called BEFORE they were Fugazi and before Ian MacKaye was involved was about as emo as emo could possibly be, and, to the best of my knowledge, would be the first band to actually truly qualify for the title. They were called Rites of Spring.

There was an awful lot of emotion involved. A LOT of emotion.

I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
