"Emo" simply refers to bands that put their emotions into their music- specifically, the lyrics. So, excellent bands such as 3 Doors Down and Three Days Grace are slapped with the "EMO" label and therefore shunned by certain people.
Buuut other bands that many people often classify as emo are Hawthorne Heights (The Silence In Black and White is less mainstream; better, in my opinion) and JamisonParker (sometimes a bit repetititve and dragging, but excellent songwriting. easy to listen to as well)
