[@tzaraslaysart]

@@nebuluos2032 I mean, Revolution Summer bands were doing emo in 1984, so - you could safely call this emo. I lump'em in the post-hardcore movement, but that's just my take personally.

[@owencole4356]

​@@nebuluos2032 emo started in the 80s ????

[@ogami1972]

Just wow. I haven't heard this track in many years, but by the time the vocals kicked in, I was back in 1998, chilling on my futon and passing a joint with my brothers in the room we shared. I was working at Tower Records, and everything seemed good and full of promise. Goddam time passage is relentless.

[@drumttocs8]

[@ogami1972]

@@tomaschristopherbangalter6185 No, I mean '98. I would be lying if I said I had been listening to it in'94. I didn't hear SDR until my divorce in 96. In '98, I was working at Tower Records, crashing at the family house and trying to figure out my life. This, Pavement's WoweeZowee and SK's Dig Me Out and The Hot Rock were my soundtrack for that period.

[@robdaniel3211]

Nate Mendel’s bass playing was so good….

[@ericbrainerd6693]

Everyone who loves SDRE - go see them on this tour!

[@severed_lips]

trying to see them next month at the wiltern!! gonna sell one of my guitars for ticket money

[@ghostrobot3714]

The album that made me want to be a musician. Willam Goldsmith on those drums man, changed my life. And yeah, we just called this indie/alternative in 1994. It wasn't til I got to college a few years later that I heard someone refer to them as 'emo'. edit: I'd also highly suggest checking out at least the first solo record from the singer Jeremy Enigk, whole different vibe.

[@oogoog72]

Really surprised at this reaction! I hit random on every song ever made and landed 100 Million by Sunny Day Real Estate and have loved them ever since.

[@ghostrobot3714]

Best song from their second run, imho.

[@PurpleLolipopProduct]

How did you hit random on every song, and is there I way I can do that too?!

[@RedMcc]

SDRE definitely pre-dates Radiohead. When SDRE exploded on the scene, NO ONE said they were emo. Interesting how the label was foisted upon them.

[@miiviscerator]

idk, pablo honey was the year before diary

[@nyantend0]

Dude holy shit my favorite band no way

[@petetrippe8457]

I never thought I'd see a reaction video for SDRE. Check out the song J'Nuh.

[@john2428]

Geebz, if you decide to do another Sunny Day song, check out Pillars. It came out about 4 years about In Circles and has a very different vibe, but I think you'd appreciate it. More great bass work and cool, layered guitar work.

[@Lifeonnmarz]

god i hope he does pillars. one of (if not my favorite) songs!

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Pillars was the first song we did on my channel. My sister was blown away.

[@nebuluos2032]

I wonder how Pillars compares to Guitar and Video Games in terms of composition.

[@jdespirito]

I just texted this to the lead singer and the drummer haha. I've done web work for them and their members even to this day. Also, in regards to your question "what is emo?" that's a simple question with a complicated answer. What you need to understand about it is that there were various waves of emo. It's easy to think about it similar to the metal genre. In the 70s and 80s you had your heavy metal pioneers like Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, etc. You can think of 90s post-hardcore bands like Sunny Day, Texas is the Reason, and tangentially Hum in that era of emo. Sometime in the early to mid 2000's the music industry caught wind of it's rising popularity and you got a sort of post commercial flavor of "Emo" that was much more glam, similar to how hair metal was born with LA bands like with Poison and LA Guns. This is how pop-punk bands of the mid 2000's are under the umbrella term "Emo". Some bands were even able to successfully cross from one wave to the next like Jimmy Eat World did. Just like "Metal", "Emo" is an umbrella term for many different styles. This is partly due to commercialization turning the term "Emo" into a marketing buzzword. The result is gatekeepers on both sides endlessly debating what "real Emo" is to this day. Hope that helps.

[@gino88]

Looking forward to what they say.

[@candideggplant1575]

emo does have waves, it started in the 80s as an offshoot of hardcore punk in dc. whereas bad brains, minor threat and black flag were playing hardcore punk, bands like rites of spring, embrace, and one last wish were bringing a more introspective and more heartfelt approach to the lyrics while still being true to the hardcore sound. sunny day real estate were the pioneers of midwest emo despite being from washington and getting on sub pop which was the label nirvana was on. emo was given to bands like paramore, mcr, taking back sunday, the used, panic at the disco because that's just how things go. good stuff all around, diary is an incredible album

[@theandyplan]

Sunny Day Real Estate is so good. How It Feels To Be Something On is my favorite album of theirs followed by Rising Tide. Love to see anyone discovering these guys.

[@biggaymer8333]

Im gonna need some midwest emo on this channel now lol

[@TheRealChiefBeef]

LP2 and How It Feels to be Something On are both really good as well. I feel like LP2 is a lot more prog inspired and How It Feels to be Something On is a bit more expiremental. Both are equally as good (if not better) than Diary. Hope you have a good time listening to their discography!

[@Lifeonnmarz]

such funky timing since they’re doing a tour this year after being gone for so long! i cannot wait to see them live this september.

[@richardtorres5518]

One of my favorite bands. Underestimated in my humble opinion. There are masterpieces on that album may I assure you.

[@daddylafe7016]

The album is amazing and the song Seven is my personal favorite!

[@VCCassidy]

Glad to see you finally got to this one. Emo’s a tricky genre because it’s been around so long and has been adopted by many disparate scenes. In my mind, emo is a subcategory of post-hardcore, but some bands swing a little closer to indie rock and alternative, some swing closer to harsh grind and hardcore punk, and by the end of the 90s it became associated with a type of moody pop-punk. Here’s a list of songs your journey could take you that would encompass all of the above listed styles. Original “emotive” hardcore: Rites of Spring - Drink Deep Native Nod - Crossings Portraits of Past - Bang yr Head Post-emo style melodic alt rock: The Promise Ring - Red and Blue Jeans Christie Front Drive - 4010 Texas is the Reason - Back to the Left Post-emo pop-punk: Get Up Kids - Holiday Saves the Day - At Your Funeral My Chemical Romance - Helena Emo “revival” (new that sounds like 90s era): Adventures - Heavenly The Hotelier - Your Deep Rest La Dispute - King Park

[@cuteasxtreme]

You are so killing it with the tracks that you’re checking out Geebz 👌

Love this one. An awesome example of how to conjure up atmosphere while retaining that signature early to mid-90s emo rawness. Also a fantastic way to make a chorus’ repetition work for it and not against. Great pick, man. I’d also like to recommend Brand New of a similar vein, especially their track Limousine.

I have posted on a couple of your videos that you should do any song from the album “return of the frog queen” which is Jeremy enigk’s first solo album. I have tried to shoehorn that recommendation into the comments on a couple of your videos. But this time it actually makes sense! You must listen to return of the frog queen. It is a perfect album. And I just know you will love it cuz of all the orchestration. So many layers of melody. And his voice is so powerful.

[@abysssss]

YES! this is what I'm talking about. The first track of Sunny Day's that I'd recommend (especially since you love *amazing* bass) is *Snibe* off their album The Rising Tide, but nearly all of their albums and everything they've released are _incredible._ ..I also second others suggestions in the comments for more SDRE: *Pillars* , *100 Million* , but also *Seven* and *Guitar and Video Games* ...just now I literally had to _stop_ myself from diving headlong back into SDRE and Jeremy Enigk's continued stuff. Back during the beginning months of lockdown, Jeremy revisted some of SDRE's amazing songs, but just did them casually in a room by himself acoustically + a mic for vox and posted 'em on his modest, personal youtube channel. Jeremy Enigk's got side projects that're *REALLY* good too like The Fire Theft w/ the song *Chain* ...and then his solo works, particularly his absolutely *gorgeous* song: *World Waits* ..all of it's *LOVELY* _hauntingly_ beautiful stuff❣ Thank you Geebz for being one of the very few to breach this "hidden treasure" of music for reactions🫂
