Is Weezer an emo band?

Emo is a really broad term and means different things to different people.  Weezer's new songs sound really cheezy and have that theme of longing and teen angst (like EMO), but there's not that deep self-hatred that Emo bands love putting in their songs.  Plus, as high as Rivers Cuomo's voice is, it's not nearly Emo-whiny enough.  I definitely miss the early 90's Weezer.

mmmhmm \nbut if you listen to them it doesn't make you emo or anything, a lot of their songs are more alternative than anything.

I've never really thought about that...untill i read this, but it is true. Your right. Those are some of my fav. bands...and they are getting to skinny. Everyone these days think that they have to be skinny, and thats totally wrong. It probley goes along with the whole emo thing. Who knows...but it's true.

I think emo is just a pathetic fad.  Emo kids aren't truly sad, they just want attention.  Emo is fake.

Emo=emotinal, cut their wrist every freaking time they feel bad, hear Hawthorne Heights, MCR, ect, anything that is punk, heavy metal ect. wear really tight pants, black eyeliner, bangs are definitely emo, thick rimmed glases, hate their life, are bisexual, wear Vans of the wall, Converse all star, lotta stuff, but if you wanna hear it in a comedy, go see the emo song by andy and andrew :)

EMo is a style of music as well as person that is generally unhappy and highly emotional.  In general, real emo kids are pretty rare.  Usually an emo kid is self contained and not responsive to outside stimulus unless they believe the ideas are highly beneficial.  Unlike the cretin that answered first, it's not just specific music... it is the people who respond to that music that demonstrate "emo".  For example, you could say the blues is EMO- which it is- but EMO kids don't listen to it, so it's not.

yea their is a difference, but because their lyrics are emo, which actually just means emotional, they are considered emo, whic his actually Emotional Rock, I personally dont like them that much, but I like a few songs, if ur in to Emo u should def. give Saves The Day a listen there music is very very good. I would personally label all american as pop-punk.

Emo is the epitome of gay, they call themselves non-conformists when there really more conforming than goth/prep/any other stereotype. its really quite ridiculous.\n\n\nalso, your all gay for saying this good man Tyler N here is using gay in the wrong way. emo is a perfect example of gay.

I don't really think these are emo but they probably are since it seems like everything is classified as emo these days:\n\nUnderoath\nBullet For My Valentine\nAlexisonfire\nThe Bled \nBleed the Dream\nEmanuel\nComeback Kid\nSaosin\nGlassjaw\nThrice \nThursday\n\n... and I Am Ghost because they are awesome....

EMO means emotional and is used in music a lot. Like My Chemical Romance, AFI or The Used those kind of bands.

Emo could perhaps be the worst music assaulted on our senses today. The whole point it seems, is to sound as shitty as the previous band. You have to make sure you take 3 stupid words and put them together in a retarded fashion for your band name (note: try words like "november", "blood", "fashion"), Then have some jackass sing all high-pitched about some girl he likes at school, while the bass player tries his best to mimic Norwegian Death Metal all the while sounding like crap. Yes Emo is the new Butt-Rock and in 10 years time, sad looking 30 year-olds with bad haircuts, will be pumping gas in a My Chemical Romance t-shirt.
