      That first Rites of Spring record still slaps a million times harder than anything that came after it, idk how you can dislike it Finn
      Edit: ooof, you like Dashboard and Mall Punk, I'm not surprised at all but still disappointed
      2nd edit: props for liking Racetraitor though

    My first Era of emo was the late 90s Vagrant/Doghouse era- The Get Up Kids, Saves the Day, Dashboard Confessional, and the like. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Also, Dag Nasty is my absolute favorite of the early hardcore bands, and would second Finn's recommendation of them. And finally- I don't think anyone else considers Fugazi to be emo, they just had Ian and Guy from those other DC emo bands. You should all be listening to Fugazi.

Back when people didnt know (or care) what bands where punk, emo, post hardcore, screamo or metalcore. The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, Emery, From First To Last, Hawthorne Hieghts, Funeral For a Friend, Mest, The Spill Canvas, Thursday, Rise Against, Dashboard Confessional, The Starting Line, Senses Fail, Coheed & Cambria, Saosin, Escape the Fate, Story of the Year, Thursday - I'll still go back to those bands every now and then if im on a nostalgia trip.

    I remember when the tide turned in the Hong Kong band scene… it went from grunge and some metal to emo over night. We always were the late comers to the party, but all of a sudden it was uncool to listen ti grunge, and you had to have girl jeans, tiny t-shirts that revealed your belly button and deltoids (or lack there of), and you had to have sideways swooshed hair. I never really got into it, I went on with stormer rock and metal, but emo became huge in HK in the late 90s, especially in the born again Christian community. I swear, it seemed like all the emo bands were Christians, singing about Christianity… yeah, Christian emo was a thing in HK.

    I met my myspace emo gf over our love for sugar we’re goin down. Still listen to it every now and again and it is such a banger. I know all the words, yet still 20 years later, I still have no idea what the fuck any of it means

      Haha There's newer band called Magnolia Park that opened for the last two concerts I went to. Good music, but nobody knew the songs, and they were the openers, so people weren't hyped. Then they covered Sugar We're Going Down, and everybody went crazy. I say they cheated, but it was fun. Got my attention and they made it to my playlist.

    I've been waiting for this to come out. Thank you for this
    To be honest when I get someone into emo, I don't actually start with the og or any of the bands from the past. What I've been normally doing is showing what the current state of emo is so usually I show people like bands like If I Die First, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Static Dress, Wristmeetrazor and etc. because I tend to notice that when I showed someone a band from like the 2000s they would normally just stick with that and not check out anything new,. So when I show them something like If Die First then they would go back check the bands that influenced them and so on.
    Also the first time I heard If I Die First was in one of your videos and it was only for a few seconds but I made sure to remember the name and the members and ever since then I have loved the band and SYSC ever since. Like those are literally my favorite bands right now, so thank you Finn. You technically made a difference in my life by showing your audience those bands and just any new artists.

    What would you recommend an old school Metalhead who grew up on 80s Heavy Metal & Thrash Metal and who wants to carefully broaden his musical horizon?
