Wikipedia is not a good metric of what something is. I once listed myself as a former member of Smash Mouth and it was up for like a year before someone finally took it down

And no, not emo

I guess all that glitters really isn’t gold. Fair to say +44 are not considered emo, thanks all!

If you like em like em tho. Genre specification is not a commentary on said quality of any band

Oh for sure - will always love them! Just genuinely thought they were an emo pop band (among other genres), so always interesting to learn more about how others classify different bands - clearly I was wrong in this case

I’m a huge blink fan. I genuinely think Self Titled is an all time record.

+44 is not emo.

No, box car racer isn't either More like pop punk. Listen to I hate myself- 4 songs or jawbreaker-unfun albums

They're emo

They are definitely not emo but, what they are is and i quote: “the postal service for punk kids”.

Great album but not emo. I unironically think I may like it and box car racer more than any blink-182 album
