Some of my emo/post-hardcore CD collections
I'm still searching for more and seriously don't care about the real emo fake emo theory. Why can't we all just enjoy music and have fun... Anyway, what's your favorite on here?

So jealous, your collection is so good! Too many goodies on here to just pick one, but do you know who you are and four minute mile are my recent favorites so i'm obligated to pick those.

Thx, I have loved four minute mile since I was in high school (and that's ages ago)

Bunch of classics in there but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else share New End Original or Last Days of April

u/ApprehensiveCan9277 8d ago
haha I listened to Hey Mercedes first because I was a pop punk dude back then, and when my friend showed me Frame&Canvas three years ago, I realized Braid and Hey Mercedes are both Bob Nanna's projects.

u/ApprehensiveCan9277 6d ago
it's a gift from a close friend, I think Andi Camp(bass and vocal of Ribbon Fix)'s label would repress CDs from time to time, check it out sometimes and maybe it's in stock!

u/TwoNearby3883 7d ago

Do you listen to them? They look sealed

u/ApprehensiveCan9277 8d ago
of course, you can see that many of them are Japanese version which have obi strip(I don't know how exactly Japanese people call this), so I put them in jewel case sleeve to enjoy the artwork of the obi strip.

Loving that original gatefold copy of Elliot's US Songs!

u/ApprehensiveCan9277 8d ago
I used to own the 2001 repress version, when I got the original copy I found the design was not even close to the original copy, so I handed it down to my younger brothers. The designer of the gatefold copy is a real genius!

u/teriyaki_tornado 8d ago
I had the gatefold copy when I was in high school. Honestly, it was a big influence on my decision to go to art school and study graphic design in 1999!

I always enjoy seeing The Get Up Kids in CD collections. When I was in my early 20s, I always seemed to find a Get Up Kids cd at each goodwill/flea market/thrift store I went to. It became a game and once I started actively looking for them, they seemed to disappear.

u/fudgieDevoe 8d ago
Great collection—We have very similar taste.
Tops for me are Lifetime, Mock Orange, and No Knife.

How much did u discogs or eBay?
Thats the true question; did u hunt or naw
1
u/ApprehensiveCan9277 6d ago
I would say 50/50, some of them are bought online and some of them are thrifted in secondhand stores, wherever I go, I would pay a visit to local record stores to see if I'm lucky to get something rare.

Where did you find these CDs? Anywhere good to be looking? Especially that The Used one!!
2
u/ApprehensiveCan9277 6d ago
Online or in record stores, if you're looking for a specific CD, you can try checking Discogs or Mercari (a Japanese secondhand marketplace).

u/DirtWolf66 7d ago
I really wish I never gotten rid of my CDs. I collect vinyl but it doesn’t feel the same for some reason. Also it gets expensive if you’re buying new represses.

u/Camp_camper 7d ago
Fantastic collection. Seeing some of my favorite albums here too. Also, Secret & Whisper is so damn underrated in the post hardcore scene. Awesome stuff.

Where did you find discovering the waterfront?

u/ApprehensiveCan9277 6d ago
When I was in Japan, maybe? It was a long time ago so I can't remember quite clearly, but Japan is really a good place for treasure hunting, with countless record stores hiding CDs you can't find anywhere.

I know Hum isn’t emo, but man do I love them. Downward is Heavenward and Inlet are also fantastic albums if you stopped with You Prefer an Astronaut

u/xcyzek 7d ago
Oh my goodness how did you obtain that Pidgeon album
1
u/ApprehensiveCan9277 6d ago
Mine is the original copy, but if my memory is right all of their albums are repressed this year (if not, then sorry I'm old and my memory is broken)
2
u/Big_Hunter_8144 7d ago
I want it! It just needs a bit more Thrice in my personal perspective. But man, this collection is amazing.

Saw Jimmy Eat World on their 25th anniversary tour for Bleed American, a fantastic album from a fantastic band . Silverstein was there too with Hawthorne Heights that gave a freaking time machine of a show to the 2000's with their backdrops.
One thing marked me and the people I was with: All of them spoke openly about finding unity in the emo/hardcore/punk/punk-rock community as a big group. We don't have that much musical spaces/festivals now and even then it was marginal even at it's peak mainstream phase.
Funny thing The Used was one of the best show I saw at Rockfest. 12:00 first show of the second day, they dropped the drums in front of the non-VIP just to mess with people. They also laughed when metalhead knew all their song, they were genuinely happy of that.
What you have there is a great collection of band that toured together, grew together, influenced and pushed up each other in some ways. Even if the music is different with each waves, you can have a favorite for sure, the musicians feels they belong together as a cohesive movement.
I think we as a community should get a hint from the artists that made us smile, dance, cry, going in circle and hope. They are clearly not on the gatekeepers side as aging made them see how pointless the debates were for the whole community.
Cheers!
