so yes i guess i am talkin about mainstream stuff although most would consider a lot of those bands to be pop-punk or.....something else. i think emo died after the 2nd wave and i dont really know what to group the bands i just listed as. but i did see a lot of shows as a teenager and saw the majority of those bands listed live. i went years without revisiting any of it cause i thought it was real lame. then i listened and thought ''oh wow how nostalgic'' but i actually think i genuinely just like some of it, especially a lot of taking back sundays first 3 albums, brand news first 3 albums, andthe used's 1st 2 albums. all the lyrics seem cheesier and a bit lamer but i still fins myself singin along. i am open to listening to these revival bands you speak of though. just hit me with suggestions if you have anymore.

emo got commercialized and i think that changed it a lot. just like grunge was changed, just like nu metal to an extent, etc. i feel like in others genres you can take todays music and compare it other music of the same genre from 20 yrs ago and you can at least trace a path from where it started to where it is now. i think it's harder to do that with emo. i really dont hear the similarities in anything when i listen to 3rd wave then listen to 1st wave stuff. |

i was a driving force behind this forum having any sort of emo/screamo discussion, and in those days you would be hung drawn and quartered for bringing this sort of faux-pop punk bull**** into an "emo" discussion. For some of us it's true skramz or no skramz at all. After all, what is emo without elitism?

this week i am gonna review Knapsack. i listened to jets to brazil - orange rhyming dictionary and i change my rating to 1 point lower. after i listened again it started bothering me how the last song, Sweet avenue, is so seemingly out of place. its a nice ending track but i feel like theres no gradual build up to that type of song. its like goin from dark depressive to lovely too quickly for me

I heard The Power of Failing by Mineral should be pretty good. I've heard some of it, and if the rest of it is like what I've heard so far, then it is reviewable. You should check it out
