This is pretty good. I didn't like what was considered emo in the 90's...but it sounds Damn Good to me now. I found myself feeling defensive for the emo bands of the 90's when what the fuck ever it is that is now called 'emo' became apparent. Like, I thought the emo kids in my scene were pretentious jerks, but...they were Our pretentious jerks. Whatever...those of us who haven't stopped rocking aren't so divided anymore...just happy to still see each other at shows. Young until I die!
If people are ok with listening to lyrics they can't understand, I suggest people check out a fantastic Japanese band called Cowpers. They sort of remind me of Small Brown Bike or Drive Like Jehu. Also, look up "Bluebeard". They're a lot softer than Cowpers. Almost like Jimmy Eat World or The Appleseed Cast. They only put out one self-titled album in 2000 or so but every song is amazing.
I'm not Japanese but really into Japanese music, and it never gets enough attention in the West.
i love all of these bands (except i don't really know thursday or mineral). however, while yes, they're all emo, i wouldn't call them post-emo. isn't "second wave emo" a more apt description? first wave would be like rites of spring, second wave drive like jehu/cap'n jazz/american football, and then the third wave would be the get up kids and all of that other whiny shit that gave emo its horrible reputation. then algernon cadwallader and snowing would be emo revival.
WHAT THE FUCK! calling At The Drive-in emo is a fucking INSULT to each and every one of them! They are POST-HARDCORE! GOD DAMN! why would you say such a thing about ATDI! Asswhole!
You probably have no idea or concept of what emo actually is. It's a off shoot of early mid 80's hardcore punk not the pussy depressed shit on tv and radio. And correction, I didn't call ATDI 'emo' I called them post emo and for the record I only consider their early music (pre vaya) to be post emo, the rest is as you say post hardcore.
@pinkpop91764 Emo and post-hardcore are the same thing dumbass. It all started with 2 bands; Rites of Spring and Embrace in the mid 80's which was after the hardcore movement, hence the term post-hardcore. It was then given the nick name emo-core of just plain emo (which the bands hated btw). Then came Fugazi who pretty much paved the way for bands such as sunny day real estate, ATDI, Drive like Jehu ect.
@crlsen hahaha yeah, even though emo is the correct word for these bands, the horrible, horrible reputation it has will probably never be disassociated with it. using the word "emo" on the internet is a sure-fire way to make everyone hate your guts. it's too bad, because emo is actually a respectable genre.
not saying im right, but i always considered these bands, with the exception of thursday, to be "emo", and the latter to be post, well no matter how you label it, all great bands
SO I was gonna correct you by saying this would be considered "second wave emo", but now I realize it is more of a sub-genre of that. Check out the band My Hotel Year's album "The Composition of ending and phrasing". I think you would really dig it, if you can find it! peace
As for me, I discovered what "emo" was when I saw Admiral in about 1990 or so, in a basement. it was fucking incredible....I seriously thought I was gonna start bawling for a minute....
Admiral was an early Joseph McRedmond joint. There are a couple of rare seven inches, but you might be able to find something on the cybertron. Look for "Revolving and Loading," and "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime."
A little less "emoey" and a little more technically awesome were Hoover and the Crownhate Ruin...
(Continuing on from above post. Ran out of characters.) An example of a genre that uses the prefix post, is Post-Punk. Which has a dull, plain, underplayed sound, is more complex. And if you did not KNOW the genre was called Post-Punk, you'd think it was called something else, and had no relation to punk. Compare The Sex Pistols(Punk) with Joy Division(Post-Punk) To understand what I'm saying. "Post-Emo"? Who ever thought of that tag is an idiot.
emo is emo, wether it be post, pre or any other word you want to put before it, as long as the music has its roots in punk and its played with feeling then it's emo! stop arguing, go start a band, or a zine or put shows on and keep the scene alive!
if ppl are gonna disagree whether this is emo, post emo, pre-emo..?, or not emo at all then an we at least agree that what is considered emo music today should be done with and bring this kind of music back
At the Drive-In never never use the term "post-emo" to described their music nor did Cap'n Jazz, nor did Drive Like Jehu.
It's a complete subjective term that people confuse. And everything that you said is subjective, and I really doubt that any band would and did classify their music with a subgenre that wasn't even suppose to be. Maybe they did, but it was later on changed to Post-Hardcore, Post-Punk and Math Rock.
post emo is like emo of the 80's but more indie and slightly more poppy, but still not really pop like the bands that people call emo today (like we the kings and all time low :P)
apart from the fact the word emo means emotional or emotive
seriously people please dont bother wasting ur time commenting back because i really cudnt give a shit what u think is emo coz i dnt even listen to it
exactly emotive. emotions in this genre range from anger all the way to straight happiness. apart from saetia, a majority of these bands dont have depressing lyrics at all. they got the name "emo" when people admired they stage presence and lyrics which didnt confine itself to one set of emotions. and if you dont care then dont worry about responding but this is to everyone else who thinks this genre is driven by basic guidelines that modern day post hardcore lives by.
its funny because we cans see a relative thats forming in the english music scene. check out tubelord, blakfish, hot club de paris, or pulled apart by horses. just basicaly anything on bigscarymonsters label
kind of important to remember that genre labeling is used for the sake of convenience. nothing more, nothing less. everyone seems so into either totally overstating or understating this. convenience, that's all!
Well the only band I would consider Post- Emo here is Mineral and maybe Thursday. Cap'n Jazz is FWE, At the Drive In Post-Hardcore and Drive Like Jehu would maybe be, I don't know Post- Hardcore with Math Rock influences.
I had heard Thursday was terrible . . . looks like people were correct . . . I like Cap'n Jazz and ATDI though . . . just in case someone takes me for a troll and asks me why I'm even here, blah blah blah . . .
What happened to Jawbox? You know, I wonder why they were almost labeled emo when they were more progressive DC punk if even punk at all, they were more like Fugazi, which is was the more major influence of a lot of the post hardcore bands in the 90's, or hardcore, excuse me.
exactly. don't forget to throw in Shinead O"Conner and Alanis Morrisette and the Cure (i think the Cure are honestly emotional as they are which would be more exceptable). In my opinion, Emo now would seem to be a new form of New Wave . Great post, it takes me back
hmmm, well not exactly, I am starting to hear more bands leaning backwards again towards the early 90's hardcore style again. It just seems more raw before, now , bands seem to be trying too too hard to be different that they start to sound the same as all the other so called "emo" bands that sound like Dashboard Confessionals mixed with hardcore and Promise Ring.
the word emo is gey. people are gey for using it. some are gonna say i need to check my spelling on gay. but gey is funnier. leave me to myself please. just putting my opinion. all this is just rock to my ears.
Love this list...whole-heartely agree with your disclaimer. Why do people still say "an emo"...like it's a noun? It's not like "a punk". You CANNOT be "an emo". You can't even BE "emo". Just listen to it...don't be it.
You're right in that in makes no sense to call someone "an emo", I don't even know what that comes from to be honest. What I do remember are people called Emo Kids. That term goes way back.
And I whole heartedly agree; they're not an emo band, but their first full length (as well as the material released before) was post emo. Post emo and emo are two different things, and furthermore, if you actually read the disclaimer it states that these songs are used to represent post emo, not so much the bands playing them. Post emo was short lived, many bands who played the style later moved on to other genre, ATDI being an excellent example of this.
cap n jazz shouldn't be in this list. they had a influence on what was to become the poppier emo along jawbreaker. ala texas is the reason, sunny day real estate ya kwo> anshit
All post emo influenced the current bullshit. These bands laid the main foundation for the whiny pop rock of today. Even still, these bands were actually good unlike those to follow.
i know. i wasn't knocking any of the bands. drive like jehu is one of my favorite bands. wow i rarely make sense. you have a hate group on last fm. it's pretty funny. 'internet tuff guys'
I love that group btw. One of the members is being heckled by the others, they want the mod to ban her, funny thing is she was one of the first to make a note to show me the group and proclaim her involvement. I love the internetz.
post emo?? no self-respecting band would ever refer to themselves as 'emo' in the first place. a totally nonsensical categorization. that being said, Jehu slays, and has no relation to anything emo.
All things considered, the term is fucking retarded, but it wasn't always that way. Also, how can you say Drive Like Jehu has no relation to anything emo? Just listen to their music, it's a total cross between post punk, and post emo.
For the most I agree. That last full length they put out was so mediocre compared to their other music. I'll hold out until I hear their new split with Envy before completely writing them off, who knows they might start writing music worth while again.
If you were born after 1985'ish and you claim to know everything about this music, let that guy on stage know so I can beat it out of him next time I see him at a show :D
Is this actual emo? cause there were plenty of bands the mid 80's who pioneered the sound. I don't know, don't really care. Thanks for uploading this bruv.
This is Post Emo. It's quite different from Emo. This form of music emerged when Emo was dying out in the early to mid 90's. Post Emo is softer, and far less abrasive.
I miss their old sound. It puts their new music to shame. The emotion was so much more out in the open with the older stuff, even in their second album Full Collapse. I just feel that Thursday made a huge mistake by adhering to that old cliche "we are growing as an artist" crap. I prefer consistency over variety. In other words, if I like something, then I can't have enough of it. I would have been totally content with Thursday writing the exact same album 4 times over so long as it's good.
Yeah too many bands become more watered down and less emotional. Too many bands nowdays sell out and they say "we've just changed our style and grown". I mean as long as a style is good, like you said, I wouldn't care if all their songs were the same style.
You know what? I think these whole genre education vids are fucking stupid. Who gives a shit about genres. Like music for the sound, not the genre. What if 50 Cent was post-emo or some dumb genre like that? would you listen to him? No I didnt think so. I mean I agree with the fact that bands like MCR arent emo and Rites of spring is, and I know what "real" emo music is, but come on man. And if you didnt like a band that was classified as emo, youd just say its not emo because you don't like it.
Not true in the least bit. I would never let my personal bias effect what genre a certain band are.
Here's a thought, ever think that perhaps people do like this music for the sound? Ever stop and think that there are people who enjoy this genre and feel it's a lot easier when there are videos like this one which feature many bands who have a similar sound. Fucking moron.
This isn't even an education video either, it's just a post emo comp.
To me the genre does matter. It just comes down to effort, it just takes a small amount of it to get something as simple as genres correct. Face it, people for the most part are completely careless and completely lazy, and over time it wears on me.
Well, its good to know your genres, but sometimes people get a bit carried away, and I mean its important to know what emo, screamo, and post hardcore are, but this whole indie emo, post emo, emocore is a bit too far. I mean they all sound emo and stuff to me. I mean all because a person doesn't know a genre doesn't make them stupid unless they think that MCR is emo, etc.
Emocore is a bullshit term, the same as 'indie emo.' Never acknowledge either of those stupid terms. The only real genre you mentioned was post emo, and post emo makes a lot of sense because post emo does sound A LOT different from emo.
there's no such thing as a "real" genre. people make them up and each one is just as valid/invalid as any other. when i was listening to these bands in the mid-to-late '90s, i never heard the term "post emo" ever. "post hardcore," on the other hand, came up all the time. still, pretty much everyone referred to the above bands as "emo" at the time, with the exception of the actual bands themselves, most of which went out of their way to let everyone know "we're not emo" in interviews.
Most of the original Post Hardcore bands all but transcended Emo for the first few years, look at Fugazi for Christ sake! Drive Like Jehu had a mixture of Post Emo songs, as well as Post Hardcore songs, they never committed to either genre, therefore it's very open ended.
All of you are fucking retarded. There is no such fucking thing as "post emo" or "indie emo." There was hardcore. Then there was "emocore" which was the same fucking thing as hardcore. Then there was "emo" which was actually "post-hardcore" (i.e. Drive Like Jehu, ATDI, etc.) Then there was "emo" which was really indie-pop (get up kids). Now there's "emo" (i.e. "bullshit") like Alesana and Armor For Sleep. "Emo" is a stupid genre title that gets applied to whatever melodramatic kids listen to.
It only gets applied because not enough people protest it. And how is Emotive Hardcore (emo) the same as Hardcore? As if Indian Summer sounds anything like a band like Snapcase... those two genres are very different, sure they have the same root but that's it.
This is pretty good. I didn't like what was considered emo in the 90's...but it sounds Damn Good to me now. I found myself feeling defensive for the emo bands of the 90's when what the fuck ever it is that is now called 'emo' became apparent. Like, I thought the emo kids in my scene were pretentious jerks, but...they were Our pretentious jerks. Whatever...those of us who haven't stopped rocking aren't so divided anymore...just happy to still see each other at shows. Young until I die!

Drive Like Jehu was post emo with a math rock over tone. some of their material however would be better described as post emo.
it's difficult because many bands that played 'post emo' only played it for a short period of time. it truly was an odd short lived genre.

Whoa! Why dont we just appreciate the music and put aside all our personal opininons? Though, these thing needs some explanation.
The first band to be considered 'emo' which is 'emotional hardcore' back then in '86 themselves rejected the term they were labelled
On the following years, many so-called 'emo' bands too, had to face these kind of situation. Most of them rejected
But then, I thought, maybe most people skipped the disclaimer part early in the video so that's when they screwed up.

exactly. don't forget to throw in Shinead O"Conner and Alanis Morrisette and the Cure (i think the Cure are honestly emotional as they are which would be more exceptable). In my opinion, Emo now would seem to be a new form of New Wave . Great post, it takes me back

hmmm, well not exactly, I am starting to hear more bands leaning backwards again towards the early 90's hardcore style again. It just seems more raw before, now , bands seem to be trying too too hard to be different that they start to sound the same as all the other so called "emo" bands that sound like Dashboard Confessionals mixed with hardcore and Promise Ring.

You're right in that in makes no sense to call someone "an emo", I don't even know what that comes from to be honest. What I do remember are people called Emo Kids. That term goes way back.

2glassbottle2 3 years ago
And I whole heartedly agree; they're not an emo band, but their first full length (as well as the material released before) was post emo. Post emo and emo are two different things, and furthermore, if you actually read the disclaimer it states that these songs are used to represent post emo, not so much the bands playing them. Post emo was short lived, many bands who played the style later moved on to other genre, ATDI being an excellent example of this.

post emo?? no self-respecting band would ever refer to themselves as 'emo' in the first place. a totally nonsensical categorization. that being said, Jehu slays, and has no relation to anything emo.
schwarzblatt 3 years ago
All things considered, the term is fucking retarded, but it wasn't always that way. Also, how can you say Drive Like Jehu has no relation to anything emo? Just listen to their music, it's a total cross between post punk, and post emo.

RMPalm2000 3 years ago
For the most I agree. That last full length they put out was so mediocre compared to their other music. I'll hold out until I hear their new split with Envy before completely writing them off, who knows they might start writing music worth while again.

True. They did tour earlier this year with Circle Takes The Square last year so who knows what'll happen.

This bands are a completely honest musical movement, this is true emo, the first emo.
The only emo music
mariosell 3 years ago 4
Nope. This is post emo, this musical movement came after/as the original emo movement was dying out. The two are very different from one and other.
thatguyonstage 3 years ago
Is this actual emo? cause there were plenty of bands the mid 80's who pioneered the sound. I don't know, don't really care. Thanks for uploading this bruv.
EZBruv 3 years ago
This is Post Emo. It's quite different from Emo. This form of music emerged when Emo was dying out in the early to mid 90's. Post Emo is softer, and far less abrasive.
thatguyonstage 3 years ago
I think Drive Like Jehu is, for the most part, fairly abrasive.

Wow Thursdays changed. A lot.
xXMandyMorphineXx 3 years ago
I miss their old sound. It puts their new music to shame. The emotion was so much more out in the open with the older stuff, even in their second album Full Collapse. I just feel that Thursday made a huge mistake by adhering to that old cliche "we are growing as an artist" crap. I prefer consistency over variety. In other words, if I like something, then I can't have enough of it. I would have been totally content with Thursday writing the exact same album 4 times over so long as it's good.
thatguyonstage 3 years ago
Yeah too many bands become more watered down and less emotional. Too many bands nowdays sell out and they say "we've just changed our style and grown". I mean as long as a style is good, like you said, I wouldn't care if all their songs were the same style.
xXMandyMorphineXx 3 years ago
You know what? I think these whole genre education vids are fucking stupid. Who gives a shit about genres. Like music for the sound, not the genre. What if 50 Cent was post-emo or some dumb genre like that? would you listen to him? No I didnt think so. I mean I agree with the fact that bands like MCR arent emo and Rites of spring is, and I know what "real" emo music is, but come on man. And if you didnt like a band that was classified as emo, youd just say its not emo because you don't like it.
xXMandyMorphineXx 3 years ago
Not true in the least bit. I would never let my personal bias effect what genre a certain band are.
Here's a thought, ever think that perhaps people do like this music for the sound? Ever stop and think that there are people who enjoy this genre and feel it's a lot easier when there are videos like this one which feature many bands who have a similar sound. Fucking moron.
This isn't even an education video either, it's just a post emo comp.
thatguyonstage 3 years ago
Well I donty mine the vid, just how you argue with people in the comments about silly genres. I mean I like this music, but the genre doesnt matter.
xXMandyMorphineXx 3 years ago
To me the genre does matter. It just comes down to effort, it just takes a small amount of it to get something as simple as genres correct. Face it, people for the most part are completely careless and completely lazy, and over time it wears on me.
thatguyonstage 3 years ago
Well, its good to know your genres, but sometimes people get a bit carried away, and I mean its important to know what emo, screamo, and post hardcore are, but this whole indie emo, post emo, emocore is a bit too far. I mean they all sound emo and stuff to me. I mean all because a person doesn't know a genre doesn't make them stupid unless they think that MCR is emo, etc.
xXMandyMorphineXx 3 years ago
Emocore is a bullshit term, the same as 'indie emo.' Never acknowledge either of those stupid terms. The only real genre you mentioned was post emo, and post emo makes a lot of sense because post emo does sound A LOT different from emo.
thatguyonstage 3 years ago
Well youre right abot the terms... hmmm youve got a point. Emo sounds more raw and hardcore.
xXMandyMorphineXx 3 years ago
there's no such thing as a "real" genre. people make them up and each one is just as valid/invalid as any other. when i was listening to these bands in the mid-to-late '90s, i never heard the term "post emo" ever. "post hardcore," on the other hand, came up all the time. still, pretty much everyone referred to the above bands as "emo" at the time, with the exception of the actual bands themselves, most of which went out of their way to let everyone know "we're not emo" in interviews.

Most of the original Post Hardcore bands all but transcended Emo for the first few years, look at Fugazi for Christ sake! Drive Like Jehu had a mixture of Post Emo songs, as well as Post Hardcore songs, they never committed to either genre, therefore it's very open ended.
thatguyonstage 3 years ago
All of you are fucking retarded. There is no such fucking thing as "post emo" or "indie emo." There was hardcore. Then there was "emocore" which was the same fucking thing as hardcore. Then there was "emo" which was actually "post-hardcore" (i.e. Drive Like Jehu, ATDI, etc.) Then there was "emo" which was really indie-pop (get up kids). Now there's "emo" (i.e. "bullshit") like Alesana and Armor For Sleep. "Emo" is a stupid genre title that gets applied to whatever melodramatic kids listen to.
decibully1984 3 years ago
It only gets applied because not enough people protest it. And how is Emotive Hardcore (emo) the same as Hardcore? As if Indian Summer sounds anything like a band like Snapcase... those two genres are very different, sure they have the same root but that's it.
