Rites Of Spring - For Want Of - Live 1985 Old

Rites Of Spring - For Want Of

[@CityofButterfly]

I'm so tired of the emo debate. Instead I'll just say: I LOVE THIS SONG.

[@acuralegend1988]

I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat, and then I choked.

[@Falconifan]

It it weren't for Rites of Spring I may not have survived my early 20's. I still have an R.O.S. tattoo. So many good memories of these guys, Embrace , etc.

[@elementfool]

One of my favorite songs ever. Guy Piccioto was such a good frontman. Too bad he forgets the words haha.

[@vadermasktruth]

This is emotional hardcore. In the late 80's thru the 90's we called it "emo" for short. There is nothing wrong with the term. What Guy P. says almost doesn't matter, no disrespect meant towards him. Emo has such a bad connotation NOW, that no one in their right mind would want to be associated with it. Understandable. But then again, isn't all music--esp. hardcorepunk--emotional? Yes, and ESPECIALLY hardcorepunk. So kids, get with it! Signed, a 41 yr old hardcore kid. xoxoxox

[@KD-jb9pq]

I was born on 1990 and I saw emo shift into a cartoon version of itself. It's weird listening to atdi and grey matter and all a sudden mcr and death cab for cutie is now emo.

[@jaydenrock]

vadermask//mass retaliation the most over used and least understood genre of music.

[@BlemishesNow]

Times sure have changed, since this comment

[@justinspanos4382]

As a kid growing up watching classics like this (born in 1996 and finding punk around 06/07) I truly wish I grew up in your era of punk. It seemed so much more authentic and less performative.

[@mone1648]

At least this isn't that "emo" 🤷🏻‍♀️. I prefer this time the studio version cause for the desperate energy I loved so much in my teen years

[@gabara]

man. Guy Picciotto's so subdued here. every other time i've seen footage of him, he's just completely tearing up the stage.

[@Ghostombs]

I love rites of spring, fucking lit

[@Druffmaul]

I remember when their album was still pretty new, one of my friends told me his favorite song was "For One Dove". I thought "What a gay song title." Then I got my own copy of the record, read the song list and went "Oooooohhhhhhh. For WANT OF. Duh."

[@alexhennigh5242]

That bassline around the halfway point is straight 🔥

[@FRPWR]

So emo it melts my heart

[@Regore]

I've been listening to this album for years. I can relate so much to their music. Is funny too because they never considered themselves to be emo or an emo band, they hated being called that. Music like this is great and the new shit needs to change and be more like this.

[@DLz04]

I am really obsessed with the music that I cant stop listening to it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@95vamos]

Definitely more personal lyrics than most, goddamn I love the guitar in this.

[@sunshinerain111]

[@xMikeMonsterCorex]

This Is Real Post-Hardcore Sound!

[@Erix442]

This is Emo, and not Post-Hardcore

[@Hardbody94]

+Light Yagami This is most definitely Post-Hardcore. The band associated with the term "Emo", but there are videos where they confirm that they are not Emo... even though they're credited for it.

[@SuperMiley1994]

+Light Yagami Emo came from post-hardcore

[@reluctantprotagonist7404]

Ƚ ɫ Ğ Ĥ ȾEmo originated from post hardcore. As such, much of it overlaps. I would consider ROS both emo and post hardcore. Where as Fugazi or Glassjaw I would just consider post hardcore, and I would consider something like Dashboard confessional just emo.

[@gemmasmart1281]

It was called hardcore back in the day. Too heavy for new wave

[@JoeySinko]

This is so damn good.

[@TheEgadd]

I think emo is also sort of considered just about the lyrics, but it has a lot to do with the vocal style and some to do with the instrumentation. Guy starts off the song pretty normally, but he's crying halfway through, giving this shredded wail that a lot of vocalists couldn't pull off normally. Emo was also the first step towards more complex songs, as seen on All Through A Life, though this song is closer to original hardcore. Nevertheless, emocore was an entirely different genre than today.

[@viral0998hj]

It started with this and became Hot Topic-core REAL FAST.

Ha. The old 9:30 club! Right up there with the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis. Both painted blacker than black inside. The camera person sat up in that little bird's nest on the pillar in front of the stage. Takes me back. Great band. Great song. I feel guilty being nostalgic about it though. Seems like yesterday. Still lives brand new in my heart.

[@Nuentendu]

Rites of Spring, one of the fore-fronts of real "emo" music. The Washington, DC scene was hardcore then.

[@nothingissacrosanct]

"emo" literally was just another stupid term created by braindead music journalists for D.C Hardcore which tended towards more introspective, reflective lyrics. to assert that theyre two separate, distinct genres is ridiculous and redundant, nearly as much as the term "emo" is itself. the emo of today is not punk, but the "emo" of then was absolutely just hardcore. hardcore is inherently emotional, regardless of whether its extrospective or introspective, but privileged and politically illiterate suburbanites cant seem to detect emotionality if its not ego-centric or autofellating.

[@Entrimo]

Emo is not short for emotional. It is short of emotional hardcore. Nothing else.

[@papaonta]

emo has went beyond its own term so the debate is obsolete

[@jxomxo]
