There aren't a lot of bands that consider themselves to be emo, but they are staples in an emo person's playlist. Hawthorne heights, my chemical romance, green day, fall out boy are all rock, but they're not emo.
Emo is a subculture of people who listen to multiple subgenres of rock music, more than emo is an actual genre of music.
SORRY i realize after re-reading that i come off as maybe angry or condescending. I do not mean it in that way. I just mean it to explain better what "emo music" might be. Similar to how depeche mode isnt goth, but a lot of goths listen to them.
I'd say to check out hawthorne heights, I don't really hear people talk about them, they're a little bit older, but their popular songs "ohio is for lovers" and "niki FM" are both really good.

here's my playlist! you can find anything here, from the origins ("real", "pure" to the most pop-punk ("poser", "tame") stuff.

now that’s a hot topic, you’re gonna get a lot of different opinions about what’s “real” emo music. You should just like what you like, it shouldn’t matter what people deem is real and just “commercial”. Like one of my favorite song right now is Succubus by “We’re not friends anymore”, i think it’s post hardcore/emo but i’m not sure.
Lowk love your way of thinking, im not rlly looking for new music i just wanted to hear what Ppl think :D
