This more melodic, emotional punk became known as emo.

Huh. Any popular examples that I might know of?

I lost interest in punk after the Clash broke up. The Ramones were a lot of fun too.

If you liked the Ramones you’ll hate Emo.

Yellowcard is a popular choice, as are Death Cab For Cutie and Taking Back Sunday. Mineral are considered by some to be the fathers of American emo.

The one band in the genre that I currently enjoy is Heavens.

Punk was dead by 1979. The last great punk album was London Calling - if it was even punk anymore at that point.

The last good Ramones was Road To Ruin, IMHO.

The current band that best captures the feel of those outfits, to my mind, is The White Stripes.
