Angst can be many things.. but emo is generally mostly love songs or sad, depressing songs. Examples of emo would be Fitch or Felix Amo.innerbrat wrote:Oh.Drewcifer wrote:EMOtional punk rock.

Matchbox Twenty is more pop than anything these days, but they would be more grunge while Eve 6 would be more emo.Crayz9000 wrote:So... would Matchbox Twenty and Eve 6 be classed as grunge rock or emo?
The biggest difference is that grunge typically comes from metal/hard rock roots while emo comes from punk. Geographic location can play into it too, and there is a lot of crossover.
