Regarding the emo/non-emo distinction: maybe this is too obvious to be right, but I've always thought that one of the main things that distinguishes emo from adjacent punk-derived styles was its focus, especially lyrically but also musically, on vulnerable emotions like sadness and desperation.

That would explain why a band with a sterling emo pedigree like Fugazi (half of Rites of Spring and the lead singer of Embrace!) isn't really emo (lots of oblique, outward-looking songs about politics and stuff), while a band with virtually no subcultural connection to emo like Weezer can place an album in the top ten of this poll.

You could have done a top 150 rollout and it still would have been great. A sign of a great poll imo!

One of the polls I've most enjoyed in YEARS

agreed on both points

248 35 1 0 Thursday - A City by the Light Divided

What...how...

I'm still bewildered that the genre turned into pop punk with make up and haircuts.
Not so much pop punk as that's inevitable I suppose things will get poppier as major labels get involved by why the make up/haircuts? where did that come from? It had been over a decade since the heyday of hair metal.
How did it end up like it has?

xp i guess i was its only voter?

Like it was weird to me when it went all dashboard confessional type stuff from a while then it changed drastically again. But I suppose hardcore dudes with acoustic guitars isnt that much of a stretch but changing again to what it did.

the move to dashboard and pop-punk and post hardcore etc makes perfect sense to me - the weird ingredient imo is where all the goth stuff comes from. AFI, MCR, Alkaline Trio - what's the source document for gothy emo music?

gotta say i didn't think i'd have to rep american nightmare? my bad.

american nightmare - am/pm

or maybe everyone just hates it. there are few things i can think of that are more "emo" (altho maybe it's just too "hardcore"?)

I was counting the good things about this city / The only good thing is you are not here

AFI I assume were Misfits fans. The others Marilyn Manson maybe?
It's the only thing I can think of but I am an outsider to emo. Though I was still buying Kerrang when these bands started coming through.

think it's just The Cure tbh

definitely for mcr

who was the first of the glammy/goth emo bands to get known outside of the scene?

mcr is definitely the first one i can think of

afi are barely emo but decemberunderground uses a ton of the genre's tricks

Angel Hair covered Bauhaus and the Locust's label is named "31G"!

129 83 3 0 Coheed & Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth

huh. we may be the only place on earth to prefer second stage (we're right)

Wow. This was the best poll ever. Middy thank you so much - you are great!

And ArchCarrier you also are amazing!

This poll was dope. Knew hardly anything & have now dived into so much great music (like I have 10 more new favorite bands) & it has legit improved my mood this week

thanks to mordy & archcarrier and all the ilx emobears

haha emobears
