Whiny Sensitive Boys.
Well, by this classification I can see why you'd include Elliot and Jeff. Though there's a lot of indiepop that would qualify, that has nothing to do with the Fratcoustics.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

And Whiny Sensitive Boys also starts to include lots of the emo bands as well.
Perhaps WSB is the uber-genre under which the Strum Dudes and emo bands fall?
There is no emo girl band that I know of. Is there the possibility of one? People expect girls to be emo already so I think they can't qualify....hmmm.

I was just thinking that The Indigo Girls are proto-StrumDudes.

I love my guitar guys, some more than others, but I loves them.

Interesting. But they certainly don't qualify as emo and they can't go under WSB so that as the main genre under which Strum Dudes falls is out.
The more I think of it the whole definition of emo revolves around it being from a guy's perspective.
Also - the early fan following of BH and DMB came out of the neo-Deadhead and Phish crowd. The jam-band angle has to be taken into consideration in classification.

Okay, then, Mopey Dudes, or Mope Rock, or Annoying Mopey Whiney Dudes Who Keep Telling Me My Body Is a Wonderland Until I Want to Smack Them Silly.
But I don't think that would fit on te category sign at Tower.

DX, I am about to go to the post office to send you Hec's and Tina's fantabulous CDs. Keep an eye out for them.
Once again, I think I'm the only person writing comments on the liner notes.

Dude, I *love* Belle and Sebastian, and Elliot Smith. Don't like Jeff Buckley's voice in general, but I like his cover of "Hallelujah."
It's only John Meyer and the other fratcoustics who have earned my ire.
