A few examples of these twinkledaddy bands are Street Smart Cyclist, Snowing, Algernon Cadwallader, The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, and Glocca Morra. These bands are heavily influenced by Cap'n Jazz and often have a strong bent towards math rock and post-rock in their song structure and guitar work. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in emo, especially midwest emo. Artists range from the Get-Up Kids and the Promise Ring, to Taking Back Sunday, to even the early work of Fall Out Boy. Orchid, pageninetynine, In/Humanity, Palatka, and Usurp Synapse are a few notable examples.Įmo Pop sprouted from the crossover of pop-punk and Midwest emo bands, but also includes pop-punk bands with a heavy emocore influence.
There are also screamo bands that experiment with post-rock and progressive rock tendencies, such as Gospel, Circle Takes the Square, and City of Caterpillar.Įmoviolence is a fusion genre of screamo/emo with powerviolence, beginning in the mid-to-late 90s in the American Southeast before spreading up the coast and across the world. Saetia, William Bonney, L'Antietam, I Have Dreams, and the Kidcrash are a few examples of screamo bands. Because screamo is often used as a catch all term for all genres with unclean vocals, many screamo fans often refer to true screamo as skramz. Screamo bands usually shy away from conventional song structures and often play around with loud/soft dynamics. Screamo is an aggressive offshoot of Emo characterized by yelled or screamed vocals and dissonant, twinkly guitar work. Other notables include Sunny Day Real Estate, Christie Front Drive, Boys Life, and Mineral.
Cap'n Jazz is usually cited as the original midwest emo band. The artists are sometimes referred to as "post-emo indie rock" or "indiemo". Midwest Emo is a style of indie rock that takes from the song structure (and occasionally vocal style) of the previous emo bands, but imbues it with pop sensibilities and a more gentle touch. There was also a small subset of bands, mostly in San Diego and later Berkeley, who made the sound more frenzied and fractured, typified by artists who frequented the Che Cafe and Gilman Street, such as Heroin, Antioch Arrow, Portraits of Past, Clikitat Ikatowi, and John Henry West. A few of these bands would be Moss Icon, Native Nod, Navio Forge, Indian Summer, and Still Life. This is the most pure distillation of "emo," although far from the only iteration.
At the core of these bands lied a commitment to the DIY ethic and an embrace of sincerity. Later on, the "emocore" label was attached to bands such as Lifetime, Hot Water Music, and Jawbreaker.Īs time went on, Emo bands started to experiment more with loud/soft dynamics, intricate melodies, heavy build-ups, and twinkly guitar work. These bands are often tagged "harDCore" or "Revolution Summer" bands, and include artists such as Rites of Spring, Embrace, and Fuel.
This includes: race-baiting, race realism, any casual form of islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, or objectification of any kind hate speech or incitement of violence against individuals, use of derogatory slurs, promotion of Nazism, fascism, and other far-right or reactionary ideas use of lazy attack helicopter or "sexually identifies as" jokes, any form of harassment, engaging in rape/pedo apologia, and simply being a straight-up asshole.Įmocore began in the mid-80's as an emotionally charged and politically progressive form of hardcore punk, centered in Washington, DC, as a response to the machismo of the larger hardcore scene.
