Personaly, I don't consider it punk. Emo is all about feelings and how your life sucks. Acual punk is about having a good time, drinker beer, and fighting against the man.

I know someone who said almost the exact same thing about emo punk. I guess I get pop punk and emo mixed up. Does punk4punks play to much emo?
Admin, your not getting pop-punk mixed up with emo, emo is now just realy infuelnced by emo bands, and are writing depresssed songs. And P4P plays almost no emo.[/quote]

I change my opinion about emo. You might not suck because you listen to emo but emo music, for the most part, sucks!
Update:
I posted under the wrong topic so what I said below is what I would have said before I posted this.

I still believe that putting down others for listening to a certain type of music or dressing a certain way is wrong. Mostly because you are limiting the freedom to pursue happiness. Even if your not in America this should be a basic human right to pursue happiness. Now that I have said that I recently purchased the warp tour 2005 comp discs and almost all of it was emo or screamo. I was pissed to say the least and anyone thinking of buying warp tour 2005 discs should seriously reconsider if you don't like emo or screamo. I also heard punk o rama 10 was just as bad but have not listened to it yet. I have come to the conclusion that emo is either overly formulaic or just plain crap. I have heard an occasinal good song from the genre but most of its crap. I would like to hear what others have got to say about emo. Is emo taking over punk? I hope not because I refuse to listen to that crap. I thought pop punk was getting bad but pop punk is a thousand times better than emo. I rather listen to older green day than listen to whiny singers singing how bad life is.

Beside, I'm from Austria - German Punk would be cool!
Punk4Punks is the best punkwebradio ever!
We hope to get even better in the future. I am looking into getting 3 or more german punk cds. I first have to scratch up the funds for it before I buy and upload the music. I will keep you guys posted to what artists and albums I buy.
Thanks for the comment

Would you consider AFI punk, although some say AFI is indeed EMO?
I would definitly consider afi punk. They might have been one of the driving forces to keep punk alive and mainstream. Although I don't like the idea of punk being mainstream at all, afi did help instead of hurt punk unlike a lot of the emo bands have. This is the first that I have ever heard afi being emo. Maybe some of their songs are but the older stuff is pretty good.

Well, some people don't truely know what emo is, and will just look at a pic of the band and decide if they are emo or not. So, nowadays, if a punk band has jet black hair, or it goes into their eyes, people will say they are emo. Which is not always the case.

That is a good point. A person does need to judge by music first then appearence last. Most of the bands that I like, look completely different in person. For example AFI does look like a goth emo band but for the most part they do not sound like one.

Who gives a crap what they LOOK LIKE! Punks can look any dam way they want.
Some punk bands have EMO genre defined tracks while the otherr tracks on the same disc are completely kick ass hardcore. If the drummer lost his girlfriend and wants to whine a little bit, there is nothing wrong with that. As long as they follow up with a "I hate Bush" track, it's all good by me and should be good with all the rest of you punk ass biatches.
Bands like Jimmy Eat World may cry a bit, but they are extremely talented musicians and tons of tracks on their CD's are incredible without the dam whine. Check out: "Sweetness" by them or "Cheating gets it faster". Both of those tracks kick ass even by a devoted hardcore fan's standards.

being talented musicians doesn't automatically make them a punk band...that is what this thread is about...but anyway, i think true emo bands are the ones that were around when it started like Rites Of Spring.
The crap you hear now-a-days is just manufactured hate...fake and stupid...angst in a can, its just not real. a good example is what afi became, they used to be a respectful band, but after watching their movie awards show...well, it was pretty damn sad to see them nose dive that bad. they might as well ask hot topic to design afi paper plates.
anyway...if anyone is interested in learning what emo really is check out this link
you will notice that any crap mtv lame ass bands wont be listed, im not trying to be high and mighty, but just trying to lend a hand, im tired of seeing this fake horrid bands putting out shit and calling it punk, it pisses me off.
