Against Me! as well

I knew at least one punk purist who was a bit miffed at this album which very much helped cement its appeal

lots of refused's aesthetic is cribbed from nation of ulysses imo, kind of a thing that can't be unseen

4 kids emo crew unite

Was this ever meant to be just an emo poll? Post-hardcore is listed as eligible in the nominations thread.

as was pop-punk yeah

the lines were always gonna be blurry. i think it's cool these records are placing they just dont fit in the buckets i personally made for this poll. it would be more disheartening if the records were bad.
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 18:46 (seven years ago) link
yessszs
In the meantime I guess now is as good as anytime to try listening to Save Anything
Ha, I guess I got Say Anything and Saves the Day mixed up. Which is which? And are they good?
― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 18:47 (seven years ago) link
fwiw the list is turning out pretty well from my pov and def fits in line w/ what i was hoping would come out of this poll
― Mordy, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 18:47 (seven years ago) link
how is there not an emo band named 'Save Anything'

saves the day i think with through being cool and stay what you are determined what emo would sound like for the following ten years or so
say anything came around later and at least on is a real boy their songs tend to shift from idea to idea with a theatricality that's like...idk, emo queen
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 18:50 (seven years ago) link
emo queen is fair

One interesting takeaway from this poll already is it refutes the popular narrative that fans of second gen/'90s emo despise the third wave, mall-punky stuff. Obviously it's a modest sample size here but we haven't seen any of that in this thread, the enthusiasm carries across the sub-genres with tons of overlap
― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 18:55 (seven years ago) link
I could never get into Saves the Day for whatever reason
xp lol sorry to conform to the popular narrative! :D
― I want to change my display name (dan m), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 18:55 (seven years ago) link
it's been way too long for me to care much about this stuff anymore but yeah, back when it was all happening, mall-punk was not my favorite
― I want to change my display name (dan m), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 18:56 (seven years ago) link
i like all of the emo forms obv and think they're all deeply interrelated and have often felt v alone in this assertion
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 18:57 (seven years ago) link
I don't know whether the division was ever as deep as it was portrayed. But it often didn't make sense. Like, Taking Back Sunday isn't that radical of a leap from Rites of Spring. In fact they're probably less of one than Sunny Day Real Estate or Death Cab For Cutie or whatever

im with brad

brad I demand you write the definitive history of emo, preferably in book form
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:01 (seven years ago) link
i once characterized the opening of jimmy eat world's "goodbye sky harbor" as post-hardcore and someone got mad at me bc post-hardcore according to him always involved screaming and being intro, but come on, that shit sounds like a gentler drive like jehu
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:02 (seven years ago) link
feeling v alone in one's heartfelt assertions = emo in a nutshell!

all of the attempts to do this so far are incredible failures, not i think bc of the talent involved but bc of the genre's slipperiness. idk if i could do any better
