Is/Was Bright Eyes considered emo?!
Question:
Is/Was Bright Eyes considered emo?
I remember Bright Eyes being emo, but now it seems that Conor Oberst has finally moved on to be more folk. So is Bright Eyes is still considered emo, or were they never considered emo? Additional Details

Officially they are not classified as emo but rather indie pop or indie rock. However, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to call them emo. They certainly have "the look." If you have to ask if something "passes" as Emo or Punk or whatever the 15 year olds are bastardizing these days...the answer is no. Be original, listen to what you LIKE, not what "fits" your persona... nah i dont think they/he was ever really considered emo
always seemed to be heavily influenced by bob dylan to me
probably would describe as indie-folk like sufjan stevens Does it really matter what genre they're considered? I don't think anyone wants to sit here and debate what is considered "emo" anyway, since everyone has a different opinion. YES. i can't emphasize this more. BRIGHT EYES IS EMO. i'm not too into these genre labeling....but they are very lyrical and soft...so yeah. Of course. whining voice quivers are a sure red flag for emo. also hand sewn patches, expensive imported anime toys, and poor posture caused by staring down at your feet all the time. EMO....
