CibbuanoPANIC! Genres merging!

Such badasses
Such creativity however, is almost expected considering they are a signee of the record label "Fueled by Ramen," which has managed to quickly build a reputation of signing excellent pop-punk/emo artists from Fall Out Boy to Panic! themselves. However, this success did have a little kickstart. Knowing the struggles that a band can go through to become known, reputable and popular pop-punk band Fall Out Boy were more than willing to kickstart Panic's success, first through a cameo voice appearance of the lead singer of Panic! in one of Fall Out Boy's songs ("7 Minutes in Heaven" on the "From Under the Cork Tree" album) but successively put the ambitious band onto connections with "Fueled by Ramen," and the rest is seemingly history.
However, Panic! have become popular in their own right. While their debut single, "I Write Sins not Tragedies" is typical of the emo/pop-punk genre, other classics such as "Time to Dance" mix the dance beats and pop-punk melodies in a perfect combination, allowing for any established fan of the pop-punk genre to immediately connect with the band, while drawing any willing ear with a sense of exploration. Thus, with their punk style, their pop melodies and their unforgettable Chuck Palahniuk lyrics (writer of the Fight Club novel), Panic! have not only struck the music scene with a bang, they have managed to leave a mark that is sure to remain for quite some time.
Linkys:
Official Site - Ok, beware of this site, its reminiscent of those impossible japanese flash puzzles "the green room" and stuff like that. Best hint I can give is use the the question mark at the bottom of it for options of where to go.
Their MySpace Profile
Last.fm Profile - As popular as they are, I was surprised at how many individual people have listened to them.

Do you like Chuck P.? I read Choke and thought it was pretty ho-hum.

Until I get my hand on one or two of his novels, I've been resorting to a site dedicated to meanings behind songs (Panic's one can be found here). Alot of people are drawn to Panic! simply by the use of Chuck P-influenced lyrics and their use throughout the songs.

Do you have a working definition of "Emo", particularly in music? Any mainstream examples?
I feel so out of touch!
