I haven't read it but why don't you look on amazon.com, they let you look inside books...ha, just looked at it...one of the pages has Thrice's sig on it...

I read a the first part about rites of spring, mineral, and stuff. I thought it was pretty good because the author used people that were in the concerts to talk about the scene. The second half sucks because he idolizes Dashboard Confessional as the savior of the emo genre.

I'm nearly done the whole book.

The first chapter is good, and although the rest is informative, it's not true.

He's describing post emo indie music, not EMO.

At least his intentions were good.

I'm not a big fan of dashboard either.

Ha ha, are you sure you read it? That explains so much, but obviously you didnt get it. Do you believe the limits of Emo are strictly confined to these present day artisits such as TBS?
