You’ve been splinked by, you’ve been sbarged by, a smooth Spiegelbear.

  • Kinselladaddies, 2nd wave post indie emocore, skramzerz, and revival bands only!

  • None of that poppy shit! My Chemical Romance is NOT an Emo band, how many times do I have to tell you people? They're like pop punky alt rock shitty shit stuff, ok? They don't twinkle or wear glasses or even come from the midwest. I mean I guess their first album was sorta Emo but not really, they suck anyways so who cares?

  • Emo isn't just a synonym for sad music, it is a genre with it's own distinctive sound. If you listen to Rites of Spring, the Promise Ring, and the Front Bottoms you will easily be able to see why they are all grouped into the same genre.

    Are bands like Bathory, Mercyful Fate, Burzum, Venom, Darkthrone, and Mayhem emo?

    They have all the same qualities of emo core greats: shitty production, dark lyricism, screaming. Are they not true emo?

    What does Trump and emo fans have in common?

    They both broadly label people from various backgrounds under one label because they are too lazy to learn the difference between each

    emo wasnt good until they started smoking weed

    Yeah, you heard me.

    All of this "first wave" bullshit I keep hearing you guys say is "real emo" is total trash. Those losers had absolutely NO creative talent whatsoever and I blame the fact that they were all straightedge (more like GAYedge)

    Seriously, listen to the first 20 seconds of "For Want Of", a "good song" by a "good band" and tell me that isn't literally just the riff to Ram Ranch.

    They were so obsessed with being sober to "focus on the music" that literally all they could write was straight up buttrock.

    Compare that to the modern crop of modern bands with CREATIVE AND POWERFUL riffs, lyrics, and song titles, all fueled by Mary Jane herself.

    Come on, imagine you weren't the pretentious douchebag you are now, if you saw these song titles and artists on the back of a CD case or in the middle of a Spotify playlist or something, would you rather listen to:

    • Moss Icon - "Divinity Cove" (lame)

    • Rites of Spring - "For Want Of" (for want of what? lame)

    • I Hate Myself - "Urban Barbie" (lame and cringe and gay)

    • mom jeans - "YIKES (daddy wants wings)" (humorous, evocative, intriguing (why does daddy want wings?))

    You can NOT call yourself an emo band if you don't get higher than a "real emo" listener's ego before you record the album. It's just not possible.

    You need to wear one of these if you really want to understand all the “waves” of emo.

    Emo Band Name Ideas

    So like, I was just walking to the grocery store and was like, listening to American Football (real emo) and like, I came up with some band names. Feel free to use them but like, just credit me, okay?

    Would you like to be… The Bog Goblins? The Grubby Grimers?

    Slick and Sticky?

    The Preds? (I think Pop-Punkers would like this one)

    ThisNameMightBeVeryLongButCongratsOnReadingIt (bonus points if you do screamo)

    I’m here all day, folks. Just be sure you only use these names if you’re making REAL EMO MUSIC ONLY NOT FAKE EMO!!!!
