LOS ANGELES, CA  [Tuesday Jul.31.2007]  /WMQT.com/ -- Foo Fighters are using a new song titled "Cheer Up Boys (Your Make-Up Is Running)" to make fun of the emo genre.

Dave Grohl says modern emo bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco and Funeral For A Friend are very different from the originators of the genre back in the 80's.

He tells MTV.com, "I have a funny relationship with emo. I'm from Washington D.C., and in the mid-'80s, the hardcore scene changed from what it was - Bad Brains and Minor Threat and the Dead Kennedys and MDC - to a bunch of new bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace, (both of) which Ian MacKaye was the singer for. Everyone started labeling it 'emo-core'. I'd never heard anything like it, and it was a really emotional experience. But in D.C., we all hated that 'emo-core' tag."
