Quicksand did fall under that category then- EMO had a varity of sounds- it wasn't just watered down girly shit like these bands today make. More or less it came about at a time when aggressive music rules the All Ages shows and most bands spoke the same rap about straight edge, friends who stabbed you in the back, and unity- all with their CHUG CHUG breakdowns- EMO or "melodic hardcore" came from bands who weren't afraid to sing a bit rather than just bark- sing about other things than typical hardcore lyrics and did their best impression of Iron Maiden guitar riffs... actually playing more than E chords.
