A few good emo/screamo bands, IMO, are:
Engine Down
Matchstick Romance
Sunny Day Real Estate
Copeland
Brand New
There are obviously others, but the bottom line is that you have to search farther than the radio or MTV to find good bands, emo or whatever.

Mainstream emo sucks. Some underground emo is tolerable, but as soon as it is processed by MTV and regurgitated back to the masses of "troubled" teens, it goes straight downhill. I dig all the listed bands too.
