clowned this stuff all the time when it was new, but Ive honestly grown a huge soft spot for some of these groups over the years:

Basically, Ive been a fool ever to hate on such fun jamz

"Sweetness" is not an emo song, that's for sure. The closest they ever came to sounding like genuine emo was Static Prevails.

oh yeah, me figuring out that they actually started as a real emo band was what initially got me giving all these groups a second chance. the song I posted, while a total jam, doesnt really sound like emo to me, but I know their early stuff has more in common with the genre

im not gonna argue really since genres are really only useful for finding similar music, but Ive just never really heard the connection these groups have to older, political emo that I grew up on from the 80s/90s. Regardless, Ive been very wrong about the quality of these groups, Im finding stuff like the Used and 30 Seconds to Mars really cathartic these days

The 2000s were a pretty damn good time for post-hardcore and outright emo.

How I feel about Pink Floyd is irrelevant. It's a silly comparison.

My Chemical Romance with a couple of lyric and clothing alterations wouldve just been a regular dope rock group. They had a legitimately good lead guitarist too. Im still convinced most people who fairly rightfully shit on their imagery just havent tried listening to them seriously.

Brand New was a legitimate emo band and fucking phenomenal. Too bad Jesse had to go be and a creep, though they were probably breaking up anyway

Yeah, I don't always think these bands are consistent enough songwriters talent wise to put out phenomenal albums, but they do have some great instincts that shine through on individual songs sometimes. They certainly have a lot more authenticity in their sound and performances than the more manufactured pop acts of the 2000s and 2010s, even if some of them were pretty strongly propped up by music labels.

Tell All Your Friends by Taking Back Sunday, Through Being Cool by Saves the Day, and Full Collapse by Thursday are all phenomenal albums, and they're part of the emotive pop punk/post hardcore-ish scene. I'd honestly say the first two albums I mentioned are top 10 pop punk albums of all-time worthy

Almost everyone ITT had excellent taste.

Love pretty much all these bands. Saw MCR with Rise Against (probably my favorite band of all time, although their new stuff leaves something to be desired) back in high school and they put on a great show.

Brand New is great too, and their latest album was pretty damn good IMO.

Edit, relevant:

No, grunge killed rock. It lead to post grunge shit like Creed and Nickelback and rock never recovered from that. 2000s emo was awesome but the image it portrayed was corny so it didn't really help rock get back on top.

prolly 80's/90's stuff

stuff like rites of spring/moss icon/gray matter
or 90's bands like mineral/cap'n jazz/christie front drive/braid/sunny day real estate/american football

those are some of the more known groups
