i guess what sucks most is the weird distinction ppl make between real/fake emo

fans of screamo think that midwestern emo and what came after is “fake emo” while a lot of fans of the later emo scene are totally unaware of the genres roots

so basically what sucks about it is that ppl would rather bicker about what real emo is rather than accepting there’s a ton of cool ass music under this rather vague umbrella of a genre.

Wonder if there'll be a Grime edition.

I'm looking forward to the Hip-Hop edition.

Don't even know what Emo is. Is it stuff like MCR?

Best quick description i can come up with is “punk music about being sad”. Doesnt describe the entire genre of course but its a start

There’s a lot of commercial crap that calls itself emo but there’s also plenty of good ****.

One of my favorite songs from the genre and just a flatout kickass song period:
