Posted by rivermyst I opened this thread expecting My Chemical Romance. Pleasant surprise! My favorite Midwestern-emo band is Algernon Cadwallader. Delicious twinkly-noodly goodness. http://www.youtube...atch?v=H105kxgIlj4 (by the way, great avatar. Suffocate For Fuck Sake is incredible) |
Posted by willskith I'm glad this thread was made. The association that emo is all about suicide and neon colored hair and eyeliner is kindof a shame. Algernon Cadwallader, Braid, Capn Jazz, that stuff is pretty sick. |
Posted by Rather Scarce I'll admit, I was disappointed not seeing bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Gray Matter, or Rite of Spring mentioned in the original post. But there are quite a few good emo bands out there. Not a fan of midwestern emo, though... |
Posted by Ampro Im surprised the Get Up Kids hasn't come up here yet. probably one of the pioneers of emo. |
Posted by earthworm I worked on an emo music video once. I had to stop myself from laughing every time the director yelled "CUT!". |

Posted by dirt Myself being someone who grew up in the punk scene, I also grew to detest emo music and those who subscribe to that scene. You would get a bunch of emo kids from the suburbs trying to act hard at punk shows, utterly being dicks. |
