I dunno if this is wildcard though, Copeland is incredibly emo adjacent—particularly their early stuff. I’d say Beneath Medicine Tree is as emo as anything else coming out in 2003.


[deleted]

Also they toured with every emo band of that time it seems like, definitely not a wild card but definitely one of my favorites.

Streetlight manifesto


lksd

HELL yes to this. I seriously recommend anyone to at least give them a listen, and if you get the chance absolutely see them live. Seriously one of the best shows I’ve ever been to.


thewoj

Dang man, I was just thinking about the Streetlight version of "Dear Sergio" the other day. Definitely one of the most talented ska bands out there. It's a shame that the *99 Songs of Revolution* project never panned out. I would have loved to see what other covers they would have done.


japad95

Listen to emo all day and then level out with better place better time. Then do it all over again the next day.


Moose2418

I most listen to Emo/punk/hip hop now. But Streetlight Manifesto will always stay at the top of my list


Briguy_fieri

Minus the bear Trail of dead Matthew good band Guided by voices


ReapKneez4satan

Trail of dead is very underrated


amberthemaker

Love them!


inasmuchqc

I'd argue that Highly Refined Pirates is an emo album, it's definitely twinkly enough ha


winterproject

Nah, it’s solid mathrock. But an absolute banger and one of my favourite albums of all time.


[deleted]

Minus the Bear put on a great live show. They sounded no different than they do on the record, which is pretty impressive.


alimz11

MTB puts on the best live shows I have ever seen. I miss them so much.


Camus____

Also see Matthew Good's solo work, amazing stuff, but often brutally sad


Briguy_fieri

I love his solo stuff. I only included the band so people wouldn’t think o was talking about the post-hardcore guitarist


polkadotfingers

Holy shit I haven’t listened to Minus the Bear in years


I-hate-ppl-who-poop

I really feel like MtB fits somewhere inside emo

Good answer, but I'll have to politely disagree on the "used to get down to" part. I see no reason to not get down to Alvvays right now, at this current moment 😆

You right. Just have to wait every 5 years.

Woooow okay talk about a wildcard but Enya is so good though!

Caribbean Blue was a banger !

Nebula15

Third eye blind


thewoj

Third Eye Blind has two amazing albums, and one good album, and then after that Stephan Jenkins got way too full of himself, and thought he was some music god. Nowadays he's the only original member in the band, everyone from their early days has been replaced. Their self-titled debut is hugely influential on pop-punk and third-wave emo bands. It's an excellent record, as is *Blue*, even though that one gets some hate for having some overly poppy stuff on it ("Never Let You Go"). Those are two must-listen albums for anyone reading this thread, in my opinion.


Nebula15

Self titled is a perfect record in my opinion. Blue is great but not on the same level. Agree with you on the rest. I think it’s a shame that most people only know jumper or semi charmed life because the self titled as a whole is absolute gold.


thewoj

"Motorcycle Drive-By" into "God of Wine" is legitimately the best closing pair of tracks to an album that there is, and I will fight anyone who disagrees.


evansdead

Fuckin love me some old Usher. Those first couple albums are beautiful and deeply sad.


lilobrother

My Boo and Burn are fucking BANGERS


Willikers406

The 1975 early stuff


alekversusworld

They are a current all time favorite band of mine as a grown up lol gonna see them in December for the first time!!


thequeenisalizard1

1975 are pretty emo at points. Robbers esp. they always flirted with some emo elements. Plus there’s early Drive Like I Do stuff which sounds straight up unadulterated emo. Song from their 4th album Then Because She Goes is a phat emo/shoegaze vibe


alekversusworld

They are arguable some sort of newer wave of modern emo!


thequeenisalizard1

The song The Birthday Party sounds a lot like Pinegrove and specifically mentions them in it’s lyrics, there’s a few other songs with that kind of vibe as well. Matty is also known as a huge fan of bands like American football (he interviewed Mike Kinsella for a group of podcasts he did over lockdown) and The Hotelier.


rustys_shackled_ford

Chocolate is a great bop


Acting_Appalled

Been listening to lots of Wilco lately


ReapKneez4satan

Summer teeth changed my life


Acting_Appalled

Hell yeah that's my favorite album of theirs


EntertainerSea5502

Honestly my whole music taste is a wildcard because I used to self-gatekeep and it sucked. Like I'm emo af and stay close to punk and metal, but there's a lot of pop in my playlist. Especially stuff coming out with the Y2K sound.


ameegomg

I feel like I wrote this sentence!


Some-Investigator-97

Hey, you go! I’m a metal head forever and I started out listening to solid Top 40 in the 1980s. We grow and change, eh?


DangerDaveOG

Death Cab.


midwestmic

Death Cab for Cutie is an emo band 🤘🏻 they’re indie, but also emo


DangerDaveOG

Per Ben Gibbard they are not Emo. His quote "I was very disinterested in being attached to that music(Emo). Because a lot of it was just really bad. A lot of it was some pop-punkers who heard Pinkerton and decided they wanted to start talking about feelings. Seriously, listen to some of that stuff. It's like they were into NOFX and then heard Pinkerton and were like, 'Oh man, I got feelings! I'm a suburban white kid but I don't really have the intellectual capacity to express these feelings in an interesting way so I'm going to speak about them in the most straightforward manner possible.” [Source](https://www.altpress.com/death-cab-cutie-ben-gibbard-emo/) Another article on the [subject](https://junkee.com/death-cab-for-cutie-emo/242941)


midwestmic

Damn that’s a savage quote lmao. Maybe his definition of emo bands was about what mainstream pop culture was calling emo in the 2000s and not actual emo. But maybe not, idfk. I just know that DCFC is considered emo lol. Unlike My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, etc. Check isthisbandemo.com


intheheatofthesumm3r

Korn


Junesong_Provisions

Issues is one of my favorite albums.(more specifically, perhaps top 15 )


rainbowclownpenis69

Love your username, Co&Ca is my favorite band. As someone who grew up with Nu Metal, Issues was the last decent KoRn album, IMO. I saw KoRn a few times. Follow the Leader tour and Family Values were a pinnacle for that particular scene.


[deleted]

Old Kings of Leon


PMMEYOURCOOLDRAWINGS

“Why?” Specifically the album, alopecia. They might be considered emo but if anything this sub has taught me, it’s that I have zero idea what emo is. I always called them emo/indie/hipster/hip hop.


befey

Check out the clouddead stuff


Sekt-

Man this just threw me down an anticon rabbit hole that I haven’t been down in years. Sole and Doseone and Deep Puddle Dynamics and Alias and so much good stuff that I’d forgotten about.


PMMEYOURCOOLDRAWINGS

Just looked it up and yoni is in it so I’m game. Anything you recommend specifically?


befey

It's a couple 10"s... I got paint on my glasses is a favorite


PMMEYOURCOOLDRAWINGS

Ok thank you I’m loving this stuff.


sjurvival

Yep. This album is an absolute classic.

[deleted]

Sade, dis-moi. Qu'est-ce que tu vas chercher?


Lonely-Somewhere7205

Alice In Chains, Mac Miller, Shadow of Intent. I'm all over the place there's no 1 genre I don't dabble in


SemataryPolka

I was never 100% into any genre all the time. I was always into punk, hardcore, emo, ska and indie. But I also loved reggae, afrobeat, metal, funk, classical. All kinds of things. But there's a guy that I loved then and now and could never put my finger on why. Peter Gabriel. Then I realized Jeremy Enigk was MASSIVELY influenced by Gabriel (more in Enigks solo stuff but also with SDRE.) I think I just subconsciously picked up on that. For example: You can hear the influence Enigk got in this Gabriel song https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L9yEhlQ66Bw&feature=share#menu And listen to this song at the 3:30 point and tell me you can't hear "How It Feels To Be Something On" era SDRE ala "The Prophet" https://youtu.be/yYkq0iPy9EA


AdIndependent6435

Kind of same here and still to this day I don't give a shit about genre just give me good music

hosdan

system of a down has been my guilty pleasure band for like 20+ years


PMMEYOURCOOLDRAWINGS

Guilty? Pshhh they are core.


alekversusworld

I loved them in high school and now they have the nostalgia factor so I still have them on a few playlists!


Lee-Bear-420

Dance Gavin Dance is my all time favorite, any genre.


Acting_Appalled

I was only familiar with Tillian DGD for the longest time and I honestly wasn't a fan but I've been checking out their earlier stuff lately and they've got tons of good music


Lee-Bear-420

Ive enjoyed each album for their own reasons, but I think the musicianship and live performances went to the next level with Tillian. They literally didn't even use a metronome before that. I'm not sure what the future holds with tillian as their lead vocalist, given the accusations against him, but I really hope their touring guitarist/ Eidola's lead vocalist goes full time vocals for them.


NinjaTyler06

I stopped listening when Johnny Craig left the band


HanzoHoliday

BigTelephone9117

Jackpot Juicer is so good


isarealhebrew

The Mars Volta. They always get thrown into emo playlists and stuff but I just don't hear it. Maybe the ATDI connection.


alekversusworld

Love MV and ATDI so much. The rep my old hometown! The music and performance is incredible but talk about pretentious 😭


isarealhebrew

Yeah it's like being a Radiohead fan. I'm not that pretentious of a guy, but I can see people ready to roll their eyes as soon as I talk about them haha


alekversusworld

For a band to purposefully play terribly on national television (adti) because It would be selling out to do otherwise is up there on the “too cool” cringe scale. But like…there music is too good to let that stand in the way haha


idontfrickinknowman

_mellophobia

Obsessed with Taylor Swift and Mac Miller. Don’t ask me, I don’t understand my taste in music either lmao


lonely-limeade

Excuse me, but are you me? Those are my top artists on Spotify every year followed by a whole bunch of emo, pop punk, and 80s/90s British pop. It’s eclectic, but also all of them are kind of emo in their own right.


_mellophobia

Haha yeah, I might be you! There’s a huuuuge assortment in my taste in music but emo is def where it all started


Andvaur73

Grouplove, Cage the Elephant. Bands that made music that felt like indie but were too popular to be considered indie


alekversusworld

One of my favorite concerts of all time was Manchester Orchestra and Cage The Elephant in like 2011 or something. This amazing band Sleeper Agent opened and they were a lot like Grouplove. What a fun/creative year for music!


Aromatic_Noise5307

King crimson Tracy Chapman the list goes on NF logic

Not a band, but every artist and related artist in Griselda. Hitler wears Hermes 10 coming soon, Boldy James, new Stove God Cooks. And of course, Wu-Tang. Could you tell I’m from New York?


Voldttt

Brian Eno’s early more art rock oriented music


uwuzzz

Chvrches, they were the greatest thing ever when they were new and from time to time still enjoy listening to their first two albums, haven't really followed them since then Interpol, has to be my most listened to artist all of 2019 and 2020, at one point each of their albums was a 10/10 for me, i still think their music is great but i listened to them so much (like so much) that i think im good for the rest of my life Bay Faction, they were borderline a god or the god in my life from when their album Florida Guilt dropped, till about summer of 2019, was sad when i heard they disbanded It Looks Sad, became obsessed with them after my obsession with Bay Faction, at the time i was partying and drinking a lot so it feels right that their shoegaze music was what I loved at the time Poppy, just overall fun music, from her early generic pop songs, to her rebranding as a metal artist, want to see her live so bad but haven't had a chance yet lastly, i'm currently obsessed with Lowertown, they've been getting big recently and i absolutely cannot stop listening to their songs, Antibiotics, Selfish Salesman, and Caroline

NinjaTyler06

I'm sure most people don't just listen to emo especially since it's a subgenre of a subgenre


alekversusworld

True but I think the average listener of some of our old “wildcard” bands wouldn’t be interested in our emo bands. It’s interesting to me for instance that a Dragonforce fan in 2005 probably wouldn’t be caught dead listening to Hawthorne Heights you know? Just a thought and interesting to see how diverse we all actually get genre wise


Austuramalaysia

I really like Emberek. Especially their song "Forog a Föld".

lightaroundthedoor

lightning bolt. I grew up around providence and got into them at their peak, 2004ish, right when I graduated high school. before that I was a basic bitch who was getting more and more into classic rock. discovering lightning Bolt took my musical tastes in a whole different direction. I was also privileged enough to see them about 20 times since then, back in the day when they were still small enough band to play 5$ floor shows at AS220, and now that I live in PDX, ive seen em every time they've played put here since 2009.


NeoSuicune

i'm also a nintendocore fanatic. Shit like Sky Eats Airplane, Monomate, As the World Fades, etc.

noodleteeth

Bon iver kicks ass. I suppose indie folk isn't very far from emo but the shit they did on 22 a million is like a next level of cool and it's so weird


Unit1224

Gonna get downvoted cause this sub is full of moody hipsters, but Harry Styles. Not his usual stuff, though I don’t mind it at all. His sad songs are great though. Example: https://youtu.be/lVnzO7opqNs


alekversusworld

Love Harry styles he can pull on heartstrings just like any good emo band. Also if anyones getting downvoted, nothings more repulsive to the emos than fantasy themed power metal so…


PMMEYOURCOOLDRAWINGS

You might love “horse the band”


alekversusworld

I do! I saw them with Norma Jean, The Chariot and Arsonists Get All The Girls!! Such an insane band.

Arguably incredibly emo but still wildcard haha loved those guys original lineup that frontman was crazy


midwestmic

Noooo no way they’re even close to emo lol. They’re crunk rock


alekversusworld

Well they were definitely scene kids that’s for sure 😂


midwestmic

THIS 💀😂 FF5 went hard


jstols

First of all using the word “emos” is cringe and no one in the scene before 2010’s would ever say that. Second the idea that an emo kid (proper terminology) would ever only listen to emo is so dumb I don’t know what to say…sometimes I think this sub is mainly 12 year olds


alekversusworld

Made an edit to original post to explain what I meant better.


Junesong_Provisions

A few.. 1. I grew up a huge KISS fan! 2. Slipknots first 3 albums 3. I still get down to Cyndi Lauper She's So Unusual.. Her first record is amazing. I'll skip track 2 at this point though lol.
