[@sleeze5204]

Because midwest emo is nothing more than alt rock with questionable actual emo influence and I can't help not to cringe because midwest emo just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). And is mostly weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music.

Many of the mainstream "emo" bands from 2002 on are just playing regular pop music while wearing a haircut (not all of them). To me is as stupid as the music world and music media forgetting two decades of rather very well known bands before those.

[@fairlyfai]

[@jedediahharper9092]

God only knows where emo would be without the Beach Boys.

[@smithyvip]

As a big fan of the album, i can see where you are coming from. However sad songs on that level had been around for years before Pet Sounds. Frank Sinatra's 1955 concept album 'In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning' is an incredibly depressing album dealing themes of loneliness, introspection, lost love, failed relationships, depression and night life etc. That could be a huge starting point if we go back that far.

[@gpuppy1234]

APS Productions excellent point

[@redduck9393]

@TARANTULYN you're talking about 'scene', which is the fashion style with the huge ungodly (emphasis on that) hair and dye. those bands are also mostly alternative rock or metalcore. you were there in 2009 but not where real emo was, you were there with the rawr xD kids. Side Note: A Day To Remember is one of my favorite fucking bands in the world, and I can't tell you how much it hurts to see them classified under "real emo".
