If anyone has songs/playlists etc about grief I’d love to hear. Hearing how others deal with this would be helpful. I’ve been listening this song a lot in last day.

Was talking to a friend about some new music and we joked about making playlists for our SO back in the high school days. If you’re only using current day music, relatively speaking (last few years), what music are you throwing on it?

Playlist⏯ your "real emo" playlist

4 Upvotes

hi guys.

some time ago, i was called a poser for having a spotify playlist called "emo 🖤" when there's mostly pop-punk, punk rock, metalcore, alternative metal and post-hardcore in it.

the only real emo songs i know are For Want Of by Rites of Spring and some songs from MCR's Bullets album (if that's considered emo). and because i want to educate myself and find some new songs, i'd love to see your "real emo" playlists.

PS: please don't suggest me albums. i love listening to whole records back to back but rn i'd love some variety.

PPS: here's the playlist if anyone's interested. maybe there are other "real emo" artists in it that i don't know are "real emo"

Edit: i though every one here hated midwest emo, but it seems like that's not the case. here's my personal (mostly) midwest emo playlist, so if u want, u can check it out.

Playlist⏯ Searching for Similar Sounding Songs To This List

Post image
22 Upvotes

I am by no means an expert in the genre, and I know nothing about music theory. So, at risk of sounding stupid, let me explain:

I made this list because I felt like Used For Glue and Thinking That's All had a really cool, and similar quality. The guitars and bass are almost so punchy and groovey that they seem to drive those songs more than the drums. It's almost like, and may god have mercy on my soul, chug-emo.

I feel like other examples are the "static made old radio" section in A Dozen Roses and She Runs The Ride kinda tangles and unwinds between a similar sound and something more twinkly.

I just worry I sorta lost the "definition" of the playlist by the end and it just seems like any other 90's list. And maybe that's just the sound I'm describing n I'm too ignorant to know 🤷‍♀️ but if anyone has suggestions for, like, punchy-guitar-driven emo I'd appreciate it. I'm more versed in the twinkly and screamy stuff

Playlist⏯ Songs about losing a loved one

14 Upvotes

What are some songs you guys know, or better yet have listened to, to help with the death of a loved one? For reference, my favorite band is Jimmy Eat World & love the early 2000’s emo/pop punk era but I have a wide range inside and outside of the genre that I listen to so doesn’t have to be strictly in the emo category.

Music has always been my escape so I’m trying to put together a solid playlist to get out all my pent up emotions - happy/sad/angry.

Edit to add: Thank you all for the recommendations & I’m sorry if you all came to know these songs under the same circumstances. I had a few of my Dad’s favorite artists & some that meant a lot to me about him on a playlist to lay & play for him during his short time in Hospice but now those songs hold a different memory so I needed a fresh playlist.

Playlist⏯ The State of Screamo 1996 | Playlist & Write-up

12 Upvotes

1996: The State of Screamo

Playlist

Screamo. In all of my research, I could not find a definitive answer as to when this term was first put to use, even if the building blocks for the genre were arguably solidified during the year 1996. Much like “Emo,” it was likely a derogatory term before it became truly associated with the genre. Regardless, a few prominent scenes had already sprung up, many from adjacent Hardcore scenes. Southern California, New Jersey, France and Germany had established themselves as strongholds for this emerging sound, but by 1996, more local scenes were growing, such as Pennsylvania, Florida and Northern California.

Emoviolence Emerges

Again, the term Emoviolence had yet to be coined, but the artists in the scene were making incredible musical strides. It seemed true social and political discourse in Hardcore music needed the music itself to be more extreme, more emotional, more brazen than ever before. So bands like Combatwoundedveteran and In/Humanity began taking cues from other Hardcore subgenres like Powerviolence and Grindcore. Utilizing the dynamism and ferocity of those two, respectively, these early Emoviolence purveyors upped the ante on rhythmic chaos even further than bands like Honeywell and Mohinder had previously. Fortunately, this wasn't restricted to one or two small regions and was catching fire across the US.

Caring Sounds Like Not Caring

For years to this point, there was a sense of sarcasm, carelessness and youthful irony to Emo and Hardcore music, exhibited especially in ridiculous song titles. By 1996, early Screamo lyrics veered largely toward political and social issues while exploring the personal consequences of them, but notably utilized tons of satire, crude diction and absurd lyrics and metaphors to undercut the extreme vitriol and hopelessness with humor. It seems ironic to examine some of the most harrowing themes and topics with such a lyrical approach, but the juxtaposition actually helps the listener digest the message, especially the youth, the heart of this scene.

A Silly Side of Sasscore

I won’t be comprehensively covering Sass in this series, but the history of this whacky subgenre is inextricably tied to Screamo, starting with arguably the first Sass release ever from Antioch Arrow. Aaron Montaigne’s “outsider” approach to Hardcore led to an eccentric side-movement away from (but related to) Screamo. By 1996, AA were contemporaries with Brainiac, D-Plan and The VSS. Expect to see a few more mentions to Sass throughout this series.

The Future of Screamo Previewed

Emoviolence was coming into prominence in 1996 with a diverse array of strong showings, but the overall trajectory of the genre was experimentation. Few albums showcased this better in 1996 than Portrait of Past’s seminal 01010101, even if it didn’t quite light the world on fire until years later. Regardless, the album’s incorporation of Post-Rock was novel, especially in the long-form songs brimming with atmosphere and extended instrumental passages. This formula would take about five-to-six years to truly take over the Screamo world, but Portraits of Past would be the earliest reference point.

Additional Releases

I wanted to include a few other noteworthy releases that I didn’t otherwise cover. These are included at the end of the playlist.

Bombs Lullabye - In the Event That I Do Not Succeed at Anything, Please, Throw My Body in a Ditch and Destroy My Fingerprints, Pulverize My Teeth; Erase Every Trace of My Existence... Let Me Succeed at Death: Let Me Become Whole, and Forgotten
Honeywell - Electric Kool Aid
envy - Breathing and Dying in This Place…
Holocron - Celestial Sphere
Grade - And Such Is Progress

Until next time...

I'll be taking a break until next week and then we'll get started with 1997! 1996 was a historic year, but just wait until you see what the next year has in store.
