yes Fugazi and even Rites of Spring frequently get called "emo" nowadays. I guess it's a bit like Sonic Youth being "grunge"

I can't imagine anyone saying 'emo' in ten years, except to describe the self-described emo scene from the nineties and the turn of the century.

I have seen that term being applied on everything from Fugazi to Keane. Which means it is a completely pointless term.

Black Sabbath

Finished with my woman
'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah!

I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness
I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late
