How do we bring back emo?
History's Greatest Debate

You do not need to go through all that work for that kind of attention anymore

I listen to MCR when I'm doing cardio sometimes
Liam Roberts
Start inserting it on a new popular band or a tv show.

Hello grandad.

damn...

What else, sure some media lost its power but at the same time you wont be bringing back emo girls by writing books about them. New generation barely reads anything besides their phones.
Owen Price
You can't, subculture is dead. Everything is mainstream now.
Jayden Martin
You insert it into famous Youtube channels like Pewdiepie.
Jordan Collins
Emo is a shallow fashion offshoot of the greater goth scene. Ask how we can bring back that, and I point out your “doomers”.
It’s really like it never left

"Duende" Lyrics:
Bleak desolation
In a beam of sun
Scraping as I crawl
Your heart can't hear me
Tearing bruising fall
Your hands can't hear me
Thirsting raging blind
Your eyes can't hear me
Racing against time
Your arms can't hear me
Like and angel you'll come
In a dream, precious one
And, make me beautifully numb
Desperate panicked calls
The wind can't hear me
Muffled weak and small
The sand can't hear me
Pleading groping hands
The truth can't hear me
Bleeding in the sand
Your heart can't hear me
Bleak desolation
In a beam of sun
Like an angel you'll come
In a dream, blessed one
And, make me joyfully numb
Razor fingers cling
The wind can't hear me
Piercing demons sing
The sand can't hear me
Twisting hollow Hell
The truth can't hear me
Burning blisters swell
Your heart can't hear me
Sharp cut aching breath
Your arms can't hear me
Choking scent of death
You hands can't hear me
Grueling jaw bone grind
Your eyes can't hear me
Cursed by my own mind
Your heart can't hear me
Elijah Roberts
you're wrong butterfly.

I wish the internet never existed

How about dial up and myspace only?

>Emo is a shallow fashion offshoot of the greater goth scene.
Wrong. Emo is an offshoot of punk, and then it became a fashion statement. This is what emo originally sounded like:

I will accept this, on the condition that there is no possibility for progression.
Josiah Howard
Slow “emotional” punk and anime hair, right right.
But that’s not punk at all. Its a bastardization of goth (didn’t mean to imply Delerium is goth. Just the subject matter of this song touched me in my goth period)
Jaxson Parker

>it’s not punk it’s a bastardization of goth
It’s not. How did you come to that conclusion? Goth is an offshoot of punk, and emo, in its original form, is also an offshoot of punk.
Cooper Young
>How can numbers be real and muh gawd no?
Maybe Jayden will know.
It’s just my judgement call. I see where it came out of, but “emotional punk” is a genre that strays into gothdom
Like what is “post rock” but an extension of progrock ? They keep their boundaries for marketing purposes, which I don’t respect.

Dylan Green
Can’t right now, in public.
I do mean it’s half measured fashion sense and overall outlook on life too. Call it a hybrid of punk and goth if you want, that’s fine.
Jonathan Garcia
Honestly doomer is just adult emo. It makes honest depression an aesthetic
Liam Martinez
Emo is just a bad simulacra of Punk.
Why would you want to bring it back?
Zachary Martinez
I want a 2008 emo gf so bad.

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
James Harris
And goth is just a lame offshoot of punk/hardcore 80s scene. Your point being?
Jaxson Powell
Bitchin’
It had more ethos, substance behind it.
Honestly only saw the tepid emo from the above post, and I couldn’t wait for it to fade away.
Carter Martinez
Why don't you get a gf and tell her to cosplay as an emo and have sex with her blasting something like Alesana? At least imo this is what 00's emo third wave nostalgia is all about.
Tyler Watson
Depressed zoomers need to rediscover the concept of embodied subcultures rather than just distributed internet subcultures.
Anthony Rogers
A-ha. I believe you’re right
Matthew Moore
Everything is natural by definition.
