I made THIS PROFILE so I could join an contribute to: http://www.last.fm/group/Emo+Genuine (and not make there charts too confusing.)

I think it showcases my postHxC (hardcore) "Genuine EMO", indie Alternative, Midwestern pop, power pop, (one could almost call some of the stuff punkish prog) favorites. Also some other stuff that relates to emo hardcore post hardcore alternative progressive Post-rock indiepop somehow ...kind of as if i was saying if you like THIS then you might like this....hhhmmm



ALSO I wanted to SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE w/ THE YOUNGER KIDS THAT GET LABELED "EMO" AND DON'T KNOW THE MUSIC HISTORY BEHIND THE much maligned "SCENE TAG")



Emo/ post HxC makes me feel 16 again ...ALL THANKS GOES TO my friend Elliot Richardson for all the cd's he let me borrow back in 1996


Heres a link to a
Emo post hardcore mix I made on you tube

What the heck *is* emo, anyway?


And because self depreciating humor is endearing Are you a prehistoric emo?

“I prefer to think of it (emo) as punk rock that’s more melodic and introspective/depressing than hardcore, but still tapping into that primal energy and anger” (DeRogatis 1)

I grew up in CA if you look at my age you can see I was born in 1980 so there is no way I could have been old enough or in the right place to be part of "the revolution summer" as a fan. I got into that scene in my early teens. I started with punk rock from the states and the UK and from there I just researched the scenes and histories of the bands I got into. exp of my listening stream back in 1995-96: Minor threat, Rites of Spring, Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi, Mineral, Texas is the reason, Sensefeild, sunny day real estate, get up kids, jimmy eat world, knapsack, Modest Mouse, At the Drive in, Pinback, reggie and the full effect, Ozma
