The Emo Thread Genre • Page 2

That was a bad comment I just made what’s up gang

 

Never have I wanted to ban someone from a thread more now.

 

Same tbh but before I get thrown into the trash where I belong the new cloud district album is amazing and needs more love

 

While we’re here, can someone explain to me what the fuck “party emo” is supposed to be?

From what I can gather, I’m pretty sure it’s just what people who are too vain to admit they like pop punk call pop punk but I might be wrong.

 

I mean idk. Free throw to me isn’t pop punk but it’s too upbeat to be emo, so they call it party emo.

 

This is pop punk:

 

Party emo is just emo but with more alcohol, choruses about fighting and meme titles

 

Free throw’s latest album to me isn’t party emo although their previous material most certainly was, I’d say bands like Mom jeans, newer tiny moving parts and glocca morra could be classified as party emo. I’ll need to tally votes however since this is a diplomatic thread.

 

So mid-2000’s style pop punk?

 

But the bottles are hollow now
And there's room at the bottom
And I would take it all back
If I could . . .

But I won't

 

Excellent use of the spoiler feature

 

Yea but what about all the twinkly guitars throughout the album?

 

Twinkly guitars do not an emo band make.

 

Just a lot of characteristics in dynamic and sound style that makes me think it’s not just pop punk. Pop punk/emo yes... which equals party emo :)

 

Thank you @Hazelnutsack for your username alone but also your love for cloud district. @teebs41 finally came around to it. Better late than never.

 

Really solid album

 

PINE is a band I feel deserves more love on here imo. Local band that is now signed to No Sleep Records currently working on their debut lp. This is their ep from last year.

"Doom and gloom never sounded so sweet"

Pillow Talk, by PINE

 

Also while I'm at it Bristletongue as well.

Slow, alternative emo band bristletongue is a four-piece from Lake County, IL with influences ranging from Daughter and Julien Baker to Smashing Pumpkins and As Cities Burn. Fronted by nonbinary former folk artist L Morgan (they/them) and backed by artists with progressive and post-hardcore backgrounds, they bring a unique sound to the stage.

 

"emo" for pop punk kids

 

Just listened to the cloud district album, it's brilliant. Thanks for mentioning it

 

are "party emo" and "weed emo" the same thing

 

This album deserves to be posted in here. It's now my AOTY for 2018 so far. @Night_Sky tagging you since I'm posting about AF again haha

 

Yup, great record. Easily a top 10 of the year

 

Playing it rn and ya this record is now my AOTY. It's undeniable.
