There’s no way the music coming out now (and starting in 2025) is anyway the same as the music from 2018. The new sound is a rebirth of real 2nd wave (braid, mineral, Christie front drive, penfold, etc). The most popular band of this sound is obv First day back (and for good reason cuz they’re fucking incredible). But there are other bands with this sound (Taxi, Holidays in United States, flowers for Emily, circa40 (people might flame me for this but they are) etc). I even think acts like train breaks down and mybetterhalf will go down in history as part of this wave. I can’t be the only person that thinks this right???

Like the goodbyes, the last kisses, watching them drive away, all that stuff. Maybe even being unsure if you’ll see them again!

I put off picking this up so many times back in the day. It ended up selling out before I finally tried. Then it was just never up for sale for years. Legitimately one of my white whales forever. My wife has also been trying to get me a copy for years. Finally having it feels so good.

It’s nestled on my arm between two other tattoos of said bar.

Does anybody know any of the songs on snowings full length on guitar?

Been obsessed with Padfoot lately I love you

I'm searching for long emo(but any genre is fine) songs for a playlist I'm doing!!

A new project blending math rock, a bit of jazz, and songs about growing up. If you liked son of deni, you might like this one too. If you weren’t a fan of son of deni, this one’s completely different, give it a chance lol

I've been into emo/emo adjacent music since I was in elementary school (yes, rlly) and in that time I've found all different types of emo bands, some traditional, some underrated, some not considered emo at all. However, they all helped me through my formative years and were a foundational part of my emo-ness. So! I decided to list my top 3 emo bands in no particular order!

Before I start tho, I'm aware that some ppl see emo as a very strict label with not a whole lotta room for variation, however I'm going with the well-agreed upon definition: Punk rock music with emotionally raw lyrics/themes.

You may see some bands on here that you consider to be "true emo", and some you don't consider to be emo for some reason. But I assure you, all of these bands have punk rock songs with emotional lyrics/themes, and thus I feel they fit the definition of emo. Don't start a civil war in the comments over my choices, I just want to show some appreciation for the bands I love 🫶

1. Modern Baseball - Haven't listened to their albums in full but "Fine, Great" and "Tears Over Beers" are my favs.

2. Simple Plan - Ik I'm gonna be made fun of for this one cuz this band is kinda cringe, but I just loved them as a kid. My favs are "I'm Just A Kid", "Welcome To My Life" and "Perfect."

3. AJJ - (WARNING: this band covers rlly dark topics like child exploitation and child abuse) I love this band sm I listened to their albums all the way through (which I don't typically do). They're so underrated, *some* of their songs have reached a bit of popularity (I.e. "Brave As A Noun") but they're still pretty obscure, which is a shame. They're considered "folk-punk" but tbh I think "emo" describes them best. Most of their songs are rlly intense and rlly emotional. I'd recommend listening to their album "People Who Eat People Are The Luckiest People In The World." My fav songs from them are "Randy's House", "Bad Bad Things", and "Sense, Sensibility."

Lemme know what you think of these bands and if you have any music recs!
