I miss this kind of music

[Josh Weinstein]

I know the whole "neon / crunkcore" has been bludgeoned to death but I long for yesteryear when music meant something to me. Call me an aging hipster, but it's come to the point where I miss the days of emo. I'm 25 years old and I remember the days back in high school when friends told me about the Get Up Kids, Alkaline Trio, and At the Drive In. I know emo has come to represent ghost-like skin and dyed black hair. Yet, I remember when I first learned the term "emo," it was in the liner notes of an Asian Man Record comp that described the band Tuesday (Dan Andriano from Alkaline Trio's old band). Since then, I immersed myself into the Vagrant Records catalogue circa 2001. Saves the Day, Hot Rod Circuit, Koufax, the Anniversary were all terrific bands. I wish I appreciated them more back in the day. By the time I hit college, I was listening to Brand New's "Deja Entendu," Thursday's "Full Collapse," and Taking Back Sunday's "Tell All Your Friends." I miss that sense of teenage angst that was captured in punk rock mentality and post-hardcore melodies.
Nowadays, young bands seem too caught up in long, unshampoo'd hair, bright colored t-shirts, and boning underage groupies. In the past couple of years, I found myself to listening to 80s college rock bands such as the Pixies and the Replacements. Yet, this fall I am greatly looking forward to new records by Brand New, Thrice, Say Anything and Every Time I Die. So I tend to have faith in the future. I'm just wondering if anyone else my age shares the same mentality. As I write this, I'm enoying music videos that put a smile to my face...

If you miss it, just listen to it again..

Problem solved.

[goodnews]

Most of those bands were good, but they were NOT EMO. STOP USING THIS TERM INCORRECTLY.

[superBMRuth]

all those bands are still around or have inspired currently active bands today that are great as well.

[superBMRuth]

although i do see that these songs were from a sort of "golden era" of your formative years. but the same thing happens to everyone. fuck, some kid today is going to be looking back on Cobra Starship and All Time Low going "man, that shit was so much better than this crap today"

My thoughts exactly

You know, back when you were like...5? 6? 'emo' wasn't a villianized, hated term. As a matter of fact, it described enjoyable music. Then stupid little shits invading the scene and the media got a hold of the term. Now? Good luck trying to call Weezer 'emo', but they were emo to me when I was in 8th grade. ::shrugs::

no i agree these bands are emo, before emo turned scene. i wish people would use the term scene to describe whats going on today, not emo. sunny day real estate and the promise ring are emo and they're fantsatic

stupid kid is a great song

NO...SDRE and the Promise Ring were NOT EMO either. FUCK. Go download some fucking Rites of Spring.

1. take it down a level

2. ask anyone over 21 and they'll beg to differ

edit: and if i remember correctly i read an interview where one dude in the band hated being associated with the term emo.

and don't tell me to listen to some band you wikiapedia'd

you're an aging hipster.

AAANNNND here we have what's wrong with the music scene. Who cares what they are? Genres are just for lumping similar sounding bands together, it's not an end-all situation. For most people, different bands end up in different genres just because of what they hear or how intensive their knowledge of music goes. It doesn't change the songs, however.

[ricky denim]

I'm 28 and I'm I agree with deFobbed14yrs and Josh. Back then emo for us was Dashboard, Acceptance and Jimmy Eat World etc. I also get nostalgic thinking about those years. Such great music. But yeah, emo now has taken a completely different persona.

All of y'all need to read "Nothing Feels Good" by Andy Greenwald and shush.

Understood. Rites of Spring is badass, but the post below is correct. Why are you fighting for something like this? It's a winless fight on bothsides. The term "emo" isn't used the same as it was back in the day, it's time to either accept it, or stop using it.

It was probably some dude from an 'emo' band.

I'm always thinking that too.. if music has gotten to the point is has today with the brokENcyde stuff, what kind of worse shit will be in the future? tastes always change

[PenThrive]

This is precisely why I have CDs. These old tunes are just an arm's reach away.

[Back_in_Anger]

Dude, there will always be a generation gap in music. Especially within "the scene". Back when pop-punk was king, all the old schoolers were bashing that. Now that crunkcore is king, the last generation bashes that. It's cyclical, it'll never end. Everyone relax.

With that being said, "Nothing Feels Good" is an awesome book, The Promise Ring is awesome and so are The Replacements.

So true. i always listen to JEW's Bleed American. One of my favorite cds ever.

[PenThrive]

Yeah. I pulled out Thursday Full Collapse last week and found myself singing along to every song. I thought I'd forgotten the lyrics.

[SickOfStars]

I empathize with the OP

and I'm going to go ahead and generalize this to "I miss sincerity in this sort of music".

Yeah, maybe it's a generation gap or something of that nature, but if you look at it outside of a timeline, you are basically going to see that Saves the Day were/are sincere, and the other bands in question lack most semblances of the word. The "scene" has more or less completely cut any ties it has ever had with punk, indie, or any of the ethics of either of those. It has become a complete corporate creation, marketing 80's revival frivolity.

And to be perfectly honest, if that's your thing, go for it.

There's still music like this being made under the radar, dude. It's easy to get down about how things have gone, but if you look at it as more of a "less than amicable split" between two crowds of music makers/fans, then it's a lot easier to not get so hung up on it. I'll find ya some of the better pop/rock/poppunk/"emo" bands of the later years, rar 'em up, and send 'em to you :-)

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

Most of those bands were good, but they were NOT EMO. STOP USING THIS TERM INCORRECTLY.

lol. most of those bands he mentioned are the pioneers of emo-rock. minus sunny day real estate, fugazi and a few others he hit the nail on the head, but yeah, be an asshole.

[Srsly]

I miss em too.

[oddwithoutend]

I would not credit this entirely to a generation gap. The sound has been capitalized/marketted a great deal in recent years, and this causes a decline in the quality/honesty of the genre.

[SickOfStars]

lol. most of those bands he mentioned are the pioneers of emo-rock. minus sunny day real estate, fugazi and a few others he hit the nail on the head, but yeah, be an asshole.

Well like, to be perfectly honest emo's a form of hardcore and end of story, but yeah it's so commonly applied to the aforementioned rock bands that it's not really worth yellin' at people about.

Not trying to be a dickhole, just sayin' :-)

I could throw some textbook emo/screamo bands your way if you like.

oh, no worries. Pefectly honest, I totally did not see your age there haha. :-[

Not to shift the topic of discussion, but what are some of your fav's? Not a lot of people left that are still into that sorta thang.

[briewer]

I think you guys are shitting yourselves a bit on the quality of the music you listened to and what the kids listen to nowadays. I know, it makes perfect sense to think that you were completely different when you were 15 than these kids that are 15 now, because obviously you're all musical geniuses and they are the dumbest kids ever, but come on, there's not that big of a gap between what you guys when you were kids and these kids. You know in 5-7 years all of the 15 year olds now will be bitching about the music the 'kids' are listening to as you guys are doing now. There's not much special about what you listened to, there's not much special about what they listen to, and there's not going to be much special about what future scene kids will listen to, because guess what? When you're 15 you don't know shit about music, or anything else, for that matter. You think you do, but really, you're just an stupid, awkward, hormone crazed child. I know this is going to start a lot of shit, but whatever, I speak truth regardless. Let the cycle of old hating young continue in perpetuity!

I didn't "Wikipedia" Rites of Spring. I'm from DC, idiot. People worship them around here. You think that I don't know what I'm talking about but in reality, I'm talking past you, so I'm not going to argue about it anymore. Look up Revolution Summer and the bands associated with it. You'll quickly see that good indie rock bands like SDRE and the Promise Ring are excellent, but NOT EMO.

the 24 yr old and the 22 yr old sure do agree. and i mean people over at least 21 b/c they grew up with old school emo

please explain your reasoning, as you haven't yet. back in the early 200's emo meant something very different than today. today people think emo is what they see today, but its not it scene. the term emo has been convoluted. JEW and the promise ring were emo back in the mid 90's to early 2000's. Then emo became seen as the straight hair, skinny jean wearing culture that is around now....

[deFobbed14yrs]

and it doesn't matter if you're turning 21 in three months, i just mean people who are over 21 now, and next year who are over 22.... see thats how age and time works

I don't really have an opinion, I was just messing with you. I don't really concern myself with categorizations because it's just a waste of time. To me, band X makes band X type of music. No more categorizations are needed for me.

I know, but you're making it seem that if I was born three months earlier my opinion would somehow take on more gravity, and because I was born at the time I was I couldn't possibly have any idea what these "older" people are talking about.

im sure he didnt appreciate it when you told him he was wrong because he isnt 21. even though he lives in the area where emo was basically started, BEFORE all the bands you're talking about. im talking, not mid-90s, but late 80s. rites of spring are the most common name-drop emo band, yeah, but you have it really wrong if you think hes naming a modern band. hell, if you say peope aged 21-24 would tell him hes wrong, then i can go ahead and say people aged 28-35 would say they are wrong.

genres dont matter but people being really stubborn about things they dont actually have a clue about does.

this.

people in this thread may think they're smarter than everybody else for saying its all about generation gap, they may think they're offering unique insight (news flash: you're not), but its clear to see that even just a few years ago the images and gimmicks were nowhere near as flamboyant on a regular basis with the older scene bands as with the new ones. the recordings were less tailored for artificial quality as well. the older bands may not have made music that was any more professional or well-written, but it was more honest. i mean did you guys forget about the sweeping "myspace age" with the play-adders and friend-adders that they used strictly to create the illusion of marketability? have you guys HEARD matt squire's post-2004 production? -- that guy is now the kingpin of recording in this industry and it has furthered the descent of the integrity in "pop-punk" music. those are not tactics that honest bands use, and they hardly existed before 2005.

...ok once again joking, calm yourself. and it doesn't matter if he grew up in the area, he was still like 6 when these bands came out, too young to go to a show. and your last sentence makes no sense to what i was saying. to mainstream, which is what i was talking about all along, has convoluted the term emo, and this isn't serious enough for me to continue posting about this subject b/c i honeslty don't care enough so stop quoitng me

he actually wasnt even born, "these bands" came out 5 years before he was. so you're 10-11 years off, and yet you're acting like hes the one who needs to get his facts checked. this proves to me you dont know what you're talking about, and given you dont have the desire to learn it also proves to me that you are an ignoramus. cool.

oh fuck that i'm talking about the mid 90's, we were born then. and i'm not saying he should get his facts checked. and really it's time to drop this matter...and you can use the word ignorant instead ignoramus, you're not impressing anyone

Well, if he put ignorant there it wouldn't work because he said you are an ignoramus, and it would come out you are an ignorant... plus how often do people get a chance to say ignoramus? It's a fun word.

yeah, you're totally right. but i also sympathise with the OP in that some people can be real dicks about genre classification in here. everyone knows what he meant - they just want to prove a point that they know more about emo than anyone else.

[weezy mac]

if you're talking about roots emo you inevitably talking about the eighties, and if you're not talking about roots emo don't get all uppity when people tell you that it's not emo.

true. but countering him and saying YOU'RE WRONG *insert pop-rock bands here* ARE EMO 21 YEAR OLDS AGREE WITH ME is not an appropriate response at all.

[lonelysuperstar]

true. but countering him and saying YOU'RE WRONG *insert pop-rock bands here* ARE EMO 21 YEAR OLDS AGREE WITH ME is not an appropriate response at all.
yeah ok, fair enough. i just tend to think that the only good that comes out of genre classification is that i know which section to go to when i go to a record store. aside from that, it's not really worth arguing about.
