emo punk
Let's get one thing straight right here -- emo is not a music genre comprising tall, scrawny dudes with long black hair in their face with a red streak in it or something, screaming about how much life sucks and how much women just don't understand the kind of love they have to offer.
If you're thinking about The Used, Thursday or Thrice when you hear the word "emo," that's not what we're talking about; that is emo's edgier, younger and more popular brother screamo you're thinking of, and emo is sick of you getting them confused. OK?
If you're thinking Sunny Day Real Estate, Jets to Brazil or The Get Up Kids, welcome to emo's underground revival! The thing about a show where bands pour their hearts out and audiences purge all the bad thoughts by looking at them come to life onstage is the collective sigh of smiling relief at the show's close.
Emo may be emotional music, but at the end of the night it's not a sad experience.
