A few people requested it and I was gonna do one, but when I started putting it together I realized it was mainly focused on 90s emo and the post-emo SDRE/Christie Front Drive style. I never liked the power violence stuff, and I'm completely lost on the underground bands today still doing the style - so I figured someone who was more well versed in the genre could do a better one.

Give it a shot.

Well, I tried putting some of the well known stuff like Saetia, CTTS, Hot Cross and stuff like that, but I also wanted to get some underground stuff that's good. But it came up to about 22 songs! It is mostly screamo though

I'd download an emo comp depending on what kind of emo you're talking about.
If you're talking about underoath style emo, then no.
But if it's fugazi style then I would most definitely give it a try.

I know a lot of people who consider underoath emo, which I disagree with but genre is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't know if it's been done, (and cba to read 37 pages) but would anyone want a beginners guide to Drum n Bass? Or even just liquid Drum n Bass?

Genres usually do have some sort of concrete history, but emo is hazy to alot of people due to it being used as a mainstream buzzword in the 2000s, so naivete is understandable to an extent. Someone calling the Get up Kids emo is alright, because they were part of the wave of bands that first started making the emo sound more pop rock in the 90s - but Underoath has no connection to the original scene or music style. Underoath is emo to people because Alternative Press tells them so, not because they actually are

right about the term being thrown around, but here's a question - if post-hardcore was what happened when people in hardcore bands in the 80s branched out into different musical styles (Emo is technically just a subset of post-hardcore), then how long can you use the term post-hardcore? what happens when you're post-post-hardcore? Underoath werent former members of Minor Threat saying "lets shake things up". I dont know what you call this stuff to be honest, but it's not post-hardcore either.
