Actually they are both EMO...they sing about thier EMOTIONS...thus...EMO! Visit http://www.Jimmyeatworld.com and see what they call themselves.

[BubbaStrangelove]

Submethod - The Strokes could be called "Garage Rock" like Iggy and the Stooges. I agree with you about the Emo thing. People call anything that sounds remotely sympathetic emo now-a-days. However, I also don't feel Dashboard is emo, and the Spin Doctors are not grunge. Grunge is classified by being stripped down and bare. Spin Doctors are one of the most technical bands from that time period. They are straight up rock, or altera rock, at the most. Like you, though, I'm not that happy about classifying music.
