But one must also remember that not every Punk Rock band produces political albums 'coz the term Punk Rock itself means it's a genre about the teen age and stuff...

If you're talking about the album, then no...if you're talking about them without the music, probably.
greenday basically is political, regardless of albums, though not all of their songs can be deemed political. just an overal outlook. well read their lyrics.
anyways my take on punk rock and emo.
fundamentally, punkrock is a genre used by the punks to convey their political message across through the use of music, pouring out their angst and rebellion through lyrics. basically it's all about politics.
punkrock in the uk, during that 70s era, are distinct from the normal mainstream music. it's use of distortions and 'noise' infusion constitues the counter-culture idealogy.
however, that doesn't mean bands of today who use distortions and have sound similar to that of the past punkrock bands can be termed 'punkrock'. to term a genre as 'punkrock' you have to see it's lyrical approach.
I'm neither a punk nor an expert on punk idealogies, but it's just a summary of the basics. if im wrong, please correct me.

Now for emo. Emo is basically the short form of "emotional". emotional usually are associate with anger and sadness. however, if you would look literally, emotional can also mean happy songs.
lyrics based on the emotions of someone, be it angry, sad or happy, it is "Emo" songs.
Again you have to look at the lyrics. A classical piece can be termed emo. A ballad can be term emo. It depends on how you look at the true definition.
That's what i think la. cheers.

Ha i knew it would turn into some bloody battlefield. tsk emo is such a touchy subject. everyone is bound to get defensive over their favourite bands.
emo is stupid, seriously

I see. Well, lets stop here. After your previous posts with regards to FGL, I do not wish to continue the conversation with you.
Again, I repeat my question.
Are there any Emo bands out there, that possess good singers/singing?
Along the lines of Mr Big, Whitesnake and (old) Bon Jovi?
