- Today, emo comes in many forms, and what truly is part of the genre is constantly up for debate. One thing is for certain though, emo is emotional music for emotional people.

“Country music is just farm emo”
Lmao
😂😂😂😂
ROFL
We need an emo cowboy
@@kavakahn9387 we already have Keith from Voltron
And the teenage employees at hot topic
I’m dying
Dogcathairyummy
I applied to hot topic lol
It's true though trust me because I am an employee at hot topic
@@capybaraqueen4505 what happened at hot topuc?
@Lily Worships Geesus what happened at hot topic?
@@entelektuel.yolculuk idk. I was joking
“And then Gerard way became our new god” yup that’s accurate
Progamer 9 yes
Yes
YES
I pray to Gerard every night
I mean I’d get on my knees for Gerard any day of the week🤷♀️
I'm sorry I literally couldent understand what they were saying half the time
there here to teach u about emo u damn kids
Savage _Tv i couldn’t understand it either. maybe it has something to do with the fact that english isn’t my first language. the voiceover for this *was* really shitty and i highly doubt op can be considered retarded just for not understanding
It could be mild hearing loss
@@lokiswcnd4655 i highly doubt that they had to break the characters and change their way of speaking just because some people for whom English is not even their first language, do not understand them
SatEight SatEight i never said they had to change anything about the characters, i was simply pointing out that it would be perfectly normal for someone to not understand what they were saying, especially considering their voices are very quiet and muffled and there’s a constant breathing noise in the background which can be quite distracting at times
His breathing is irritating
That's a boy?
He clearly has asthma
it represents how emos are considered irritating and annoying
Just like cam
If your talking about the one with a broken arm. The reason why is because he also has a bloody nose and the stuff is blocking his nose
Can we have a "brief history of punk"?
Jesús Estrada yes please
YES WE NEED THAY
we probably need 20minutes plus for history of punk
Will see an entire serie only 4 punk
YESSS
this video really misses a chunk about midwest emo
ikr, the fact the talk about MCR and Panic! like they're emo when they're more scene and punk than emo smh
Yeah like how do you mention panic at the disco and never mention American football
Because midwest emo is nothing more than alt rock with questionable actual emo influence and I can't help not to cringe because midwest emo just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). And is mostly weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music.
never too late truth.
Fr. Midwest emo is awesome
That bald kid was on point lol
it’s Anthony Fantano
Morg Boat 😂😂😂
The mouth breathing was only added to the video so that Pitchfork's regular watchers would feel at home.
Timothy Martin first comment
Ouch
Timothy Martin HAHAHAHAHA true
BRUH
I relate 100% to the angry kid at the end of the video.
Carlos Andrés Proaño Did we all think the same thikng at the same time?
same
lol how did you mention bright eyes yet completely skip screamo.
Rugernation exactly. 😂😂 where is MIW? 😂😂
Prodigy 1098 It's beyond me how, in 2017, there are still people that consider scene mall-core as emo. lol.
damn y'all really did emo revival dirty
Not sure why they chose to do that. Obviously sound is subjective but most revival bands are more technically talented imo.
@@jackiethedetestator7342 well, i actually dont mind hanging with the newer wave emo kids that like crankthatfrank and twenty one pilots. Heck, i even join in on the fun sometimes in comment sections and stuff and dont mind the odd tøp song. I dont say im one of those emos, cuz im not, im more "2000s" - but they're nice kids overall. Don't judge too harshly 🤷♀️
@@lostgirl1243 tøp isn't really emo they are more alternative rap mixed with some punk and emo themes
@@lostgirl1243 emo revival/4th wave emo isn't really about twenty one pilots or bands like that, it's the indie influenced midwest emo and pop punk bands that are popping up now. stuff like joyce manor, modern baseball, and marietta. much more on the indie side than the punk side
Delano Burtini Yeah
"this is going to be just like ours" "shhh it's slightly different" OMFG THAT AMUSED ME SO MUCH XD
>never mentions America football
>using greentext on youtube (they should have mentioned it tho)
@@Synthulhu force of habit what can I say
just messing with you lol
Neveeeer meant -tioned
They mentioned cap n jazz which is actually the same band
the nerd kid at the end is Anthony Fantano from Needle Drop :p
Tran...
sition!
tom abourmad i am surprised they never even touched acts like jawbox
even though I feel like they sound more like the joy division of hardcore
HAHAHA YES!
No, it's clearly Ian Cohen; I don't Fantano really gives a shit about emo.
See people? It didn't originate from the goth subculture. Emo is its own... Thing, and let's just keep it that way, Kay?
Well, it partly did. Emo and Goth both diverged from Punk music, with Goth as a subgenre of Post-Punk and Emo as a byproduct of Hardcore Punk/Post-Hardcore. But now, they are pretty much their own thing.
@@naught_. Goth and emo are as related as metal and prog rock
Majestic Plant the gerard way?
@Alexander Supertramp haha that's cute
_right_
Exactly, so-
Tiktok : *No*
Mcr will always be a legend
*cries in g note*
blabla bla how do u feel after TODAY
THEYRE BACK BROOOOOO LIKE
So did everyone here watch the reunion concert?
blabla bla Meat Puppets were the mcr befor mcr but betwtr
I'm watching this with headphones on and I do not appreciate the heavy breathing kid. But, I do appreciate this video series.
yo!same
Same :c
Hey, you wanna be part of the emo scene, you accept it comes with the heavy breathing kid.
He's doing his best.
Skipped American Football ??
Malik Shakur that's because they did like nothing lmao
Malik Shakur - At least they mention Cap n Jazz
It's because American Football isn't emo.
cos they're shit
Malik Shakur better fits a math rock video than an emo video
y’all did emo revival/midwest emo dirty...
Fr
its what it deserves
Midwest emo is so good and nobody ever talks about it. They also never mentioned American Football wtf
@@youraveragemusicperson2176 not really, american football, a midwest emo band, are possibly the most iconic non-scene emo band. people talk about midwest emo like that all the time, and they talked about midwest emo in this video (cap'n jazz, sdre)
I'm the dude at 5:10 "Waitwaitwaitwait You forgot to mention Brand New."
Jordan W yeess love Brand New haha
fuck brand new
where is jawbreaker tho
I love Brand New too
i only know the jesus Christ song
"And then My Chemical Romance happened and Gerard Way became our new God" no truer words
Swellow Sorceress Ikr
Robyn Green praise the emo trinity and Gerard as our god
Robyn Green praise the emo trinity and Gerard as our god
they totally forgot fob
Swellow Sorceress lmao
So called "Emo Revival" has given us Touché Amoré, The Hotelier, Title Fight, Empire! Empire! (I was a lonely estate), Tigers Jaw, Midwest Pen Pals, Modern Baseball, Tiny Moving Parts, Joyce Manor, TWIABP, etc. Can't say it's shit.
I love you
fuck yes
Fernando Valencia if you like those bands pls check out the band Remo drive!!!! Great Midwest emo band!!!
Dude, yeah, I love Tiny Moving Parts
Twiabp can make like a tree, and fuck off.
tag yourself i'm the "you forgot to mention Brand New" kid
I'm the kid who ran tf out of the door the first chance they got (2:38 - if you're wondering)
“Only nerds on twitter care about that” the emo revival is one of the biggest events of the genre
What was that event? And what fer?
That's true about Gerard tho
Quinci Chapple ikr 😂
Hard. Fact.
Quinci Chapple yasss!!!! 😂😂
he is our god
Quinci Chapple u right
people are mad at "fake emo" in the comments in 2018 lol because nothing says punk rock like telling kids to "learn history and respect traditions"
Pierre-Louis Anceau Well, those are the same kids who think Twenty One Pilots is rock. Can't blame them for lashing out.
the punk police are at it again!
@@naught_. its not rock but most still add it into the emo genre since it is "deep"
It's not about "telling kids to "learn history and respect traditions"" but about how stupid is society again giving credit to some for something they didnt do and ignoring the credit the underground deserved after 30 years. Many of the mainstream "emo" bands from 2002 on are just playing regular pop music while wearing a haircut (not all of them). To me is as stupid as the music world and music media forgetting two decades of rather very well known bands before those.
Copping a style and bastardizing it aint punk rock.
*And then mcr happens and gerard way becomes our new god * yup... yup...
*yes*
“Then My Chemical Romance happens and Gerard Way becomes our new god”
yeah❤️
Sam Venable nice pfp
I pray to Gerard 5 times daily
DORIME
Except we also worship Frank Iero, Mikey Way, and Ray Toro equally as well 😂
Meeeee
I reluctantly watched this expecting to be annoyed at the inaccuracies...but I was surprised. This was pretty on point. I would only disagree with the general dismissal of "emo revival" but that's pretty minor. Of course there are important bands missing but it's a 5 minute video. You can't talk about every influential emo band in 5 minutes. Great job!
Myke C-Town hey Myke
Myke C-Town you're a nerd from twitter
the emo revival is real and im all for it
I agree
i disagreed with it at first too but then i realized i'm a nerd from twitter so ....we good
NO MINERAL???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
PARKING LOT!!!!!
NO Texas is the Reason?
wb hey mercedes and the promise ring
Mostly, but The Promise Ring not being there?!
No Christie Front Drive either.
“And then My Chemical Romance happened and Gerard Way becomes our new god”
just had to push that in there somewhere
UNTIL 2019 when MCR got back together and the world rejoiced
And then 2020 came...
Mcr was never emo
loud breathing *cringes*
arianna avina b jk
Cringe: Wince; Cowar
absolutely triggered me I want to burn whoever thought it would be a good idea
seriously what a shit show
arianna avina I ain't even gonna watch the video I just clicked to leave my input on all the emo pussies' community that shall disengage
Here’s a plot twist: Fueled By Ramen was started by Less Than Jake drummer Vinnie Fiorello in 1998. The irony of what that label has become
OldSchoolAddict honestly i can’t get into fueled by ramen’s new groups like at all
Wait are you for reals?? Dang
YourcrazyI'mInsane M And they just ruined ADTR, so that’s great…
everything fueled by ramen touches now dies
Warped Tour was originally a ska punk festival, but emo and metalcore took over later on.
makes me sad that they did emo revival so dirty :(
they had a perfect opportunity to talk about modern baseball or the hotelier but nah
also no mentions of midwest emo and barely any of screamo, saetia was never mentioned once :(
....KILL ME IN THE DARKNESS OF MY HEART
I honestly think the heavy breathing is really charming. Gives a feel/hint of personality in the video
It also gives a feeling of wanting to dropkick a child but honestly I agree
DandelionDoodle or choke it to death
the heavy breathing is a meme.
LOVE IT!
DO SHOEGAZE!!!!
yes!!!
I get asked what shoegaze is by basically everyone regardless of age. Best kept secret in the world of rock music.
NO
franzchick66 YESSSS
Hell yeah!
"Gerard Way became our god." Yeah true
Erin Jo YES IT IS VERY TRUE
Erin Jo yes
Erin Jo false. Mcr killed emo
Erin Jo lol
Erin Jo yup, pretty mucj
I was hoping they would mention emo revival and emo revival revival, they're my favourite emo subgenres.
im holding out till they come out with emo revival revival revival, i just feel that emo revival revival is so close to a sound id love but it lacks... i dunno... the callback nature of a revival revival revival
Actually it would be emo revival revival revival if you count 90s emo as 80s emo revival
@@usualdosage7287 shut up only
They need to bring back this series (I'd love to see a shoegaze one), and I think this one would be a good one to re-do because the emo scene has changed quite a lot in the past 5 years.
everyone please go home right now and listen to moss icon
Moss icon rules

Most important post on this whole video

To anyone wondering about these songs. (p.s. you should check out some of their albums, they're pretty good.)
@1:10 is Rites of Springs - Deeper Inside
@2:53 is Cap'n Jazz - Oh Messy Life
@3:12 is Bright Eyes - If Winters Ends
@3:39 is The Get Up Kids - Holiday
Gl with analphabetapalothology, fucking long ass album but some good shit.
Gerard (our new god) bless you
thanks
You forgot
@4:56 is Rest Me Now - Edging
At least they actually included real emo music, I expected them to start talking about emo pop punk and start from the 00s rather than the mid 80s, like most of these videos do.
"You barely even touched on screamo."
Damn right. Where the fuck's pg. 99, Orchid, Saetia?
RIP Skramz
Did I randomly download your songs off of last.fm many many years ago or do I have you mixed up?
Great comment btw.
THIS!
Screamo is some of the worst music of all time m, so I’m glad
@@FirstnameLastname-do1px bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Y'all need to bring these back fr these are the best thing y'all have done. AND PLEASE DO A PUNK ONE FR COME ON.
They should do punk
Yee
Bogsbinny Binny I bet you love talking to yourself eh
They should but they better get the right information about it
Yeah like black flag and afghan whigs
like total chaos and the exploited and d.r.I. acidez gbh the casuatlites
you forgot to mention *B R A N D N E W*
i'm a goner DEFINITELY!
i'm a goner omg. I hate them.
The only emo band I can dare to listen
綾子 LOL why they're a lot better than some of the other bands they mentioned. Some of them were pretty good though
alex turner I know they had their own sound I wouldn't even consider them that but yeah they're the best alternative band out there
You really just said No one cares about emo revival. I see my business is not wanted here.
*Sad Math Rock noises*
Real emo only consists of the dc emotional hardcore scene and the late 90s screamo scene
not even a mention of american football smh
yeah they're pretty iconic
most iconic emo band imo
cap'n jazzzzzzz
LiL COFFiN Mentioning American Football would be kind of redundant, seeing as they mentioned Cap’n Jazz, which was the band Mike Kinsella was in before he formed American Football.
Yeah they mentioned Cap N Jazz but not American Football :/

No mention of Mineral!?
Thank you!
Neither Mineral, Modern Baseball, empire empire, Sorority Noise
Parents: Are you guys friends?
Emo kids: Yes
Goth kids: No
Hmm ... Could be trve.... In this video too, the Goth boy said This is gonna be just like punk, or sth....
5:10 Anthony Fantano?
Eddie Fahrenheit perfect
Melon is emo.
And then he goes on to do A Brief History of Radiohead, the greatest brief history of all time.
Yeah!!! XD
brandthony newtano
Then My Chemical Romance happens and Gerard became our new God
I'm dead, but so true 😂😂😂
Fuck my chemical romance and their fanbase
Yea my bad i was overreacting. I actually was a fan of their early stuff so i don't know why i said fuck them. *Correction: Fuck their fanbase*
Person _meep my profile photo
family friendly pg clean there are a lot of subgenres in the emo subculture, you can't just say they're fake emos because you don't like them.
ikr.
ok is Bright Eyes really emo music? i would say its just emotional indie folk.
uhuuuuuuuuuuuum ye maybe you're rright
And minor threat
Bright Eyes aint Emo in the least
@@TrueMithrandir actually it is because Desparcidos is
I'd say the first three albums are 100% emo.
i like the simplicity of "and then MCR happens and Gerard becomes out new god"
Reminds me of South Park
Bennett Anonymous Sunny Day Real Estate, an emo band mentioned in this video, actually had one of their songs in South Park
Bennett Anonymous me too
The kids in south park are goth
Deafheaven and if you know them try Castevet (the black metal band) are what I would call "grown-up" emo music. I could never get into straight thrash or death other than new Gorguts and the most crushing band in another universe Vektor.
Bennett Anonymous yeah kinda
skipped over emo revival but talked about paramore wtf
Aurora paramore was never emo
idk All We Know is kind of emo
I was 16 then, and people did try telling me that. I was all pissy about it. Like, "No! Sunny Day Real Estate is emo...whine whine, whine." Ha ha.
Alicia Kistner-King SDRE are barely emo as well
tf do you mean barely SDRE is the godfather of emo
I like how MCR resurrected itself, confirming Gerard as emo Geesus
A brief history of indie pls
Ughm that breathing from the injured emo. >_<
It reminds me of that dude from Hey Arnold that always stalks Helga before she punches him in the face. :p
So Emo is the music, as oppose to being a lifestyle and inclination like Goth. Because the clothing styles is heavily borrowed from punk and Goth.
Rebecca George pretty much
Rebecca George just know emo and Goth ain't the same thing their WAAAYYYY different
uh lol its the other way around nowadays isnt it
you forgot the genre post hardcore which is basically the genre that emo came from or best paired up with :)
Most of the bands mentioned were related to it. Just never mentioned it by name.
"Lifetime"......probably the number one innovators of the style!!!!
@@mariahabeyta1983 lifetime is more pop punk/emo imo, their's barely any post-hardcore influnce in their sound
Nobody:
TH-cam: the history of emo
"Then Gerard Way became our new god" me in a nutshell
Emo toast 😂
Emo toast Geesus
Ugh
Shut up
Emo toast
same
Most emos wouldn't even know anything about the origins of "emo" music lmao
They'd be like "EMO MUSIC WAS STARTED BY ASKING ALEXANDRIA IN 2005" or some shit
They aren't even emo lol.
true shit dude, I started on like American football, rites of spring ect
Yeah lmao, I'm not even emo, mostly just a metalhead, but I do sometimes like the stuff that's more rooted in actual hardcore from the 80s/90s I guess, just because I really like hardcore as well I guess
I wouldn't call myself an ''emo'' but I did have a strong interest for it as a music genre (and Post-Hardcore too) to such an extend that I wanted to know its origins haha Fell in love with bands like Glassjaw, Jawbox, Fugazi, among others.
Daniel McKnight haha they're not emo? don't kid yourself. they're emo's big bro
and now MCR is back together. we all rejoice
so where is the mention of Midwest emo, the best form of emo
i think the emo revival is largely midwest emo and they didn’t go over revival so 😔
it’s not emo. and emoviolence is the best emo.
No Jawbreaker, Jawbox, American Football? Barely touched on Mathrock, 90's Screamo, & sad punk rock music. Not to mention Sunny Day Real Estate barely got talked about.
Also no mention of Pinkerton
+Glazed “El Jefe” i know right?
That's cause they called the revival fake bullshit only people on twitter care about (even though it isn't a revival but all those are considered revival bands, except weezer)
FallingInAndOutOfReality Band I'm just glad they mentioned the get up kids.. can't believe they missed sunny day real estate and jawbreaker.
Sleepless wooooooh lad *cracks knuckles* time to argue about emo on the internet. one of my favorite pastimes. Ackshually the "emo revival" referred to in the video they were talking about the modern revival (its being called emo revival) this includes bands like Snowing, Mom Jeans, and Emo Pop Revival like Modern Baseball. the bands homeboy listed were og revival (2nd wave emo)
"Gerard Way becomes our new god"
I SCREAMED
Punk Iero same
same
SAME
Punk Iero Fucking same
SAME
0:01
28 days... 6 hours... 42 minutes... 12 seconds...
HAHAHA I thought I was the only one who noticed Frank
wow, no Jawbreaker mentioned
not emo
You can't just not talk about Canadian Softball
That album is the true emo revival
At first thought you were making a joke about American Footballs name, proceeded to look up Candian Softball on spotify.
Ohio is for emos
canadian softball is awesome
Thumbs down for the constant heavy breathing in the back
that's the kid in the video with the broken nose,he can't Breathe from the nose,
therfore using his mouth
@@magrnror-4329 yeah but it was too annoying it could just stop in the first two minutes I don't see the point in keeping it sounding all the clip
I could barely understand when that character was talking. Was a bad idea honestly.@@GizelleSchaffnerr
Austin Stone *thumbs up
666 for u
Good Mourning is an incredible album, didn't think it'd be mentioned in this video. Nice stuff!
Can we talk about when he was listing the genres, the sub titles said “Ballpark, Papa, Popcorn, and Scream Oh”
please add some propper subtitles, i don't understand shit with the nose talking
also youtube links to the mentioned albums would be nice
as a nerd on twitter who cares about the emo revival i feel personally attacked
good. being emo is almost as bad as being basic
roryshield ay phandom
that was the joke thank u
roryshield Snowing was just as good as Rites of Spring, mark my words
roryshield same. I wanted them to include joyce manor and the front bottoms. AND MOBO AND SORORITY NOISE
5:10 fantano, wasn't expecting to see you here
THE MELON
As a former emo kid, I enjoyed this! God speed to the young Emos out there!
#EmoLegendsNeverDie
2:11
IM DEAD 😂
lol
Skie the stylist I died 😂😂😂
Skie the stylist SO MY FUCKING MOM THREW MY FUCKING SANDWICH I WAS SAVING IN THE FUCKING FRIDGE
Skie the stylist SAME xD
Hi emos I like music to
"Saint Boognish middle school"
You cant slide that Ween reference past me
A brief history of punk?
This is one of the shortest videos I’ve watched but yet it felt like one of the longest
This just triggered all the emos.
It sure did
yes indeed fren
I did not think they were going to bring up panic! At The Disco, or the kinda more mainstream pop punk music like MCR.
Emo,Phan,TH-cam & Pastel trash yeah, I’m disappointed they did. Really didn’t want them verifying the posers who think they’re actually emo when they have zero influence
G.D. I I love Panic I just did not think think they would mention them
I suppose a lot of people still think they're emo bands, even though there's still emotive hardcore, Midwest emo, etc around. When emo hit the 00s, it became a whole new genre called emo pop punk. Those bands would fit into that category, especially their earlier albums. But they're not emo, they're emo pop punk and that's a different thing because it's a fusion of emo and pop punk.
Shannon Dunn I believe that the Fulled By Ramen song's get put in to a different place to. The reason to me why the showed them was because a lot of kids who were emo in the 2000's they listen to Paramore and Panic! At The Disco.
I mean to be honest I have listened to panic! At the Disco and I still do now. I love Brendon Urie as a person and I love his music. It's my taste and it doesn't matter if your taste is different. We all like these genres because if we didn't we would not be on this video
Pitchfork should make more brief history music videos like Brief History of Rock, Brief History of Hip Hop and Brief History of Pop
its funny how this video is already outdated
Pitchfork trying to make up for the fact they gave Something to Write Home About a 2.0 when it came out
Kyle Cornwell LMAO
They also gave Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile a 2.0
Ah, but that was the old Pitchfork, the one where office policy demanded reviewers sit on pitchforks.
Ya but that just makes it that much more punk...
Gerard way becomes our new god!
A Gamer's Thoughts OMFG!! You're serious?! xD
A Gamer's Thoughts Nope, MCR isn't metal. They are an alternative rock band.
Even the softest metal does not sound like them :/
A Gamer's Thoughts Exactly their sound is really THEIR sound. That's why I call them an alternative rock band, because they sound like a rock band, but not like a standard rock band, even tho they might share some elements with other bands. :0/
naaah, mcr is washed out whiny-metal/pop rock bullshit. emo is a subgenre of punk music, and sorry but their sound is everything but punk (by punk i mean any alt. rock subgenre emerged from original punk rock music like hardcore punk, post-punk, math rock, indie rock, gothic rock, noise rock etc). anyway, mcr isn't emo at all, and pitchfork telling you it is, doesn't make it true. #peace
I disagree with the fact that *NO ONE* likes being called emo. For me it’s the easiest way to describe my music taste/style in a way that people will understand.
Same. I listen to legitimately anything that displays talent and heart (jazz, blues, rap, pop, metal [any kind], rock, punk, country, classical, and different types of instrumental music), but my favorite genre is emo. Sometimes I’ll be like nah I’m not emo (because I don’t look it or act it at all), but I don’t know how else to describe it
Fabulous Killjoy Me over here with Revenge Era Frank Iero’s haircut, practically only wears black shirts and jeans, has dyed hair. Also me over here with a bubbly outgoing personality (only with my friends/family though, otherwise I’m kinda antisocial)
Fabulous Killjoy to conclude I have what some would consider a more “emo” fashion sense/style(meaning what a lot of the people who listen to emo music would wear) and music taste.
xearthquakex UWU I definitely don’t dress that way 😂 You’re way ahead of me
@@theman6044 Its funny, because MCR only had one album that was arguably emo, and weren't even one of the main bands of the real emo genre.
No way my man just played "Edging" in front of the whole class
"And then My Chemical Romance happens, and Gerard Way becomes our new god"
"And the Gerard became our god" I have never heard a more true statement in my entire life XD
Edit:252 likes holy shit
Maddyhatter well, it is a statement
Jeez
Jeez
It's not a statement
It's a deathwish
ITS AIN'T A SCENE,ITS A
GAH
DAH
ARH
REH
Ok
But we do NOT need the mouth breathing throughout the entire audio.
Metal heads get called emo but watch this and you’ll learn a difference and just because Metalheads wear black clothing don’t make us emo or goth
