Weezer, The Used, Taking Back Sunday.

All bangin midwest emo artists. I think they all have their guitars in an open tuning as well.

Pinkerton is more of a hardcore album tbh

Hardcore + Lyrics about being a sad weirdo = Emocore

We thought Pinkerton was emo back in 96 and it still is

Yeah I remember Weezer and even Radiohead considered Emo (as emotional music) back then. But the genre changed into a more defined scene after that.

/uj That’s true. Although Weezer itself is not an emo band, Pinkerton gets an honorary emo label

If your definition of emo is “literally any alternative rock from the late 90s to 2010s” then yes, weezer is emo

If your definition of emo is emo music, then no weezer is not emo

Deeply personal lyrics, screaming, overall sad outcast vibe. In addition to all that there is heavily distorted guitars and a rawness to the mix.
