I wrote out this long, meaningful thing about RA, and i can't post it. so here is a summary,ï»¿ and if the argument continues I will MAKE YouTube let me post it.Rise Against is (if they must be gernrized) hardcore punk. punk and emo don't get along all that wellIf you think they are emo, please listen to a lot of their music/lyrics go to my playlist for a start.RA does have some arguably emo bits in their music, but it is used in a way that MCR or the cool emo band of the month can't do.
