OK, I picked that it sucked, mainly because what is considered punk these days is more pop-rock to me. Real hardcore punk was more than just the music. It was a way of life and attitude and it wasn't really about going commercial, at least not the fringe stuff that was out in the 70s and 80s. As far as emo, I'm not really into it, but I would take it on a band-by-band basis, I guess...I don't really dig over-emoting singers. I'm not even sure what bands are emo these days. Someone once said Chevelle was emo, but I think of them more as rock, and I really like them.

Chevelle is nu-metal. They sound a lot like Linkin Park and Hoobastank, and just about every other nu-metal band out there.
