Emo bands that are questionably bad. Most of them suffer from either having a whiny vocalist or terrible lyrics. These are some of the worst bands from this foul and vile genre.
The Top Ten

In the beginning of their career, the band was heavily associated with the emo subculture, and had strong metalcore, screamo and alternative influences, however got more metal oriented over the years. Their songs usually carry a message of acceptance, believing in yourself and being individual and different. Among their most well known songs are "Knives and Pens", "Rebel Love Song", "In the End" and "Fallen Angels".

I'm pretty sure these guys are shock rock and not emo. Plus, they're not as bad as people make them out to be.

My second favorite band. They are honestly pop rock (except the first album which is pop punk), not emo.

Quite literally pop music. There is no difference between this and Katy Perry.

Panic at the Disco are not bad at all. In my opinion the songs are true art.
