07.12.22 | This is a big update because of the leaderboard and everything, so this is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Didn't want the list to get wiped out if I took too long. More to come in the next few minutes... |
Mort.
07.12.22 | yeah i thought that would be the problem with mine. honestly its just the sort of breakbeat i prefer, i sort of hate raves/club music anyways, find it all too much and overwhelming. much prefer the chiller sort of vibes on a night out |
bgillesp
07.13.22 | Having only listened to an hour of breaks in my life before this comp, I’m pleased |
SteakByrnes
07.13.22 | let's fucking go, I'm glad you liked mine brotha man :] |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.13.22 | only phero's to go and the tension is killing me, that kid is a dark horse -_-
glad you vibed mine dude, had a really fun time putting it together |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | I'm not gonna lie, I really did LIKE most of these, but they had a lot of inconsistency issue. So deciding these became very difficult.
SCORES ARE CURRENT. ROUND INFO UP NEXT |
SteakByrnes
07.13.22 | let's fucking go johnny |
rockarollacola
07.13.22 | 8 points?! I didn't get last?!?! I'm so pumped! |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | EMO HAS RETURNED. Read it and weep.
(y'all down know how close we were to deathcore...) |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | For those that placed low, don't fret! The points are high at the top. A good performance here can be a big swing...
Since I got a late start, deadline will be WEDNESDAY, JULY 19TH. Use all the time you need until then. |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.13.22 | are we going emo-emo or sput-genre emo including everything skramz-adjacent? |
Mort.
07.13.22 | 25 or fewer? jesus christ |
SteakByrnes
07.13.22 | as funny as it sounds I do not feel as confident with emo lmao |
Mort.
07.13.22 | also 0 points mars? i want to speak to your manager |
SlothcoreSam
07.13.22 | Ooh shit, I better do good in this one |
rockarollacola
07.13.22 | aaaaaaaaaaaaand there goes my false sense of confidence |
bgillesp
07.13.22 | So is the 25 vote limit definition of hidden gem up for debate? I'd consider under 40 to still be pretty hidden myself. (and its not like I'm asking because my emo album that you never checked from the last unfinished comp has several songs from albums in the upper twenties lower thirties or anything) |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | If that ends up being too harsh, I can adjust it, but I believe there's plenty out there to fulfill requirements. I can compromise on 40 if it prevents things from being too harsh.
Since we are dealing with the umbrella category of EMO, anything adjacent to it is fair game, as trying to regulate/define emo otherwise would be a crapshoot. Anything goes as long as it is close enough to the genre. Ergo, skramz are fair game.
If we landed on screamo itself, the boundaries would be much more defined. |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | "also 0 points mars? i want to speak to your manager"
My manager is Isaac Brock. He'd talk, but he is drunk and dancing in a bonfire. |
bgillesp
07.13.22 | I'll do my best, but I may plead you to allow some borderlines like Tawny Peaks for example (27 ratings) |
Mort.
07.13.22 | ok i have already chosen 4 tracks from emo shit with less than 25 votes. gonna be nice and post them here already, just in case they go to more than 25 due to other people rating them (one of them is on 23 oh dear!)
1. captain, your ship is sinking - let the blood of the martyrs command you (from cross your fingers for the epilogue, 5 votes)
2. wayne szalisnki - sweetness (ep version from the fondly truly ep, 1 vote)
3. wow, owls! - lets get the fuck out of racoon city (from pee sout comp or last recording ep, so 2 or 4 votes)
4. drowningman - the unbearable burden of always being right (from drowningman still loves you ep, 23 votes)
will find other tracks without the less than 25 condition later.
also i hope your not expecting super specific 'emo' and not also sorta skramzy or posthardcore stuff cos i cant be arsed xxxxx
|
SlothcoreSam
07.13.22 | I'd be happy to have all 8 songs hidden gems under 5 ratings.
Lol, I think I've added 1000 emo albums to the database these past 3 years, and most have less than 5 ratings.
That doesn't mean I'm going to go well in this round, cus Mars will hate them all. |
Mort.
07.13.22 | also my one will be a youtube playlist this times marsy boy, will link it later ta |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | Yeah, there are a LOT of low rating emo albums here.
And yes, to prevent griefing, I'm taking into account the rates of the albums as they are right now. So don't try and screw people over, that's not really cash money.
The date shows up next to the rating too, so you can't hide! |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | Like I said, emo is accepted in all its forms since we are dealing with EMO, not anything more specific. However, don't try to push it TOO too far. I'll likely tell the difference. |
Mort.
07.13.22 | as in, while post hardcore and emo have a lot of crossover and are sometimes interchangeable, fugazi is most definitely not an emo band? that sort of dont push it too far? |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | Yes. But I would also hesitate to call certain post-hxc bands emo. I'm sure y'all are aware of where the cutoff lies. |
Mort.
07.13.22 | yeh yeh thats what i mean, like glassjaw and fugazi are not emo bands, but other posthardcore bands sort of are, like brand new or something.
this might be one where you might want to jump in and check out some peoples tracks asap in case you need to veto them, just to avoid anyone getting deep into their playlist with loads of inadmissable stuff
but thats your prerogative |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | I plan on it. I couldn't do that with breaks, but I can here.
There will be *some* leeway due to the inherently malleable tag that is EMO, but I will relatively be more strict. |
SlothcoreSam
07.13.22 | I just made a quick shortlist. By going through my top 200 songs for each of the past 10 years.
180 songs later, lol, cull time. |
bgillesp
07.13.22 | I'm finding tons of stuff just barely in or out of the range. Should be fine to stay under the requirement, but I think pretty much everything i pick will be under 40 ratings |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | Best of luck, lads. |
SlothcoreSam
07.13.22 | This makes me feel like I've gone into an exam having over prepared |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | Perhaps you have... |
SlothcoreSam
07.13.22 | Ok, 4 well known songs locked in.
Captain, We're Sinking- Montreal
Hop Along- Waitress
The Menzingers - Casey
Knapsack - Katherine the Grateful
Now to cull the lesser known ones
|
MarsKid
07.13.22 | "Captain, We're Sinking- Montreal"
first of all how dare you
second of all, how dare you |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.13.22 | "Hop Along- Waitress"
lol
can i counter-debate that all 8 slots should be sub-25? keep that scrabbling around in the dark a unilateral constant |
SlothcoreSam
07.13.22 | Go big or go home I say.
Or in my position on the table go big and I'll still go home. |
bgillesp
07.13.22 | Think I have my eight now. Just gotta sort the order. I have one popular pick with over a hundred ratings but the next highest is 31. But I have 3 between 25 and 31 |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | Y'all working FAST |
SlothcoreSam
07.13.22 | Do you get more points if all songs are obscure? |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | I'll give you a firm but sincere pat on the back |
Shemson
07.13.22 | Very happy with the fifth place last round, felt like the right call trying to keep it catchy and upbeat
Emo though, bloody hell. I’m going to have to try and remember when I was a young boy and my father took me into the city… |
Storm In A Teacup
07.13.22 | Oh dear. |
Uzumaki
07.13.22 | Does 30 Seconds To Mars count as “trve” emo??? Asking for a friend. |
Pangea
07.13.22 | yeah about what i expected. not really my strongest suit
i do know some emo but the obscure stuff will be a challenge |
Sinternet
07.13.22 | Gah what nearly all those tracks are massive in clubs, breakbeat hardcore as the precursor to jungle was huge in the underground in the early 90s and the modern picks are like the safest danciest options out there and much more saturday night vibes than anime girl sex noises over osu beats, grrr well guess I better impart you with my gargantuan emo brain
Do we get more points for more obscurity this round I got some unknown bangers up my sleeve |
Sinternet
07.13.22 | Also 25 ratings on sput i would say is too generous, I would go 10 or less, outside of emo from a very specific time period (08-14) very little stuff has many ratings at all outside of obvious classics, there are hundreds of great bands not even in the db, so dont succumb to the weak |
Mort.
07.13.22 | sin, shut the fuck up |
MarsKid
07.13.22 | I figured I'd give a somewhat reasonable rating margin for anyone who might not have a good backlog of obscure emo. |

Went for a sort of "growing up" theme. The beginning is more outwardly aggressive as a way of getting our emotions out, the middle somewhat attempts to balance the naive aggression of youth with subtlety, until we reach the end where we're more level headed, but still not completely out of the dark.
Hope you dig brother :] |

Why did Pangea make an emo album? because he experienced a break-up |
MarsKid
07.16.22 | Shocked this is the first Hotelier appearance tbh
Even more shocked it's not from the album you'd expect. |
Pangea
07.16.22 | yeah i suppose, i guess there is also a risk with trying to fit in a song from an already very well known album. i'm a big goodness fan as well though |
MarsKid
07.16.22 | I mean, I'm not discriminating based on how well known an album is outside of your required 4 obscure ones, since they need to be obscure.

I’ve gone for all actual emo though as I found some cool stuff and didn’t have to pad it out with ‘emo songs’ from non emo bands, for example I was very close to closing the album with ‘Porcelain Hearts and Hammers for Teeth’ by The Bled as I love that track and it has strong emo vibes.
Just finalising track order, will probably post tomorrow. |

07.17.22 | Alright! After lots of research and some help from my wife who is way more emo than I I’ve put the below together. I’ve ignored all the other playlists so will be interesting to see how generic these picks are!
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3nJ0F2DfQO35tvf3xHPENt?si=k7F4kZ_IRzykomAqx1oJDg
1. I Can Make A Mess - The Best Happiness Money Can Buy (not in the database)
2. Dear and The Headlights - I’m Not Crying. You’re Not Crying, Are You?
3. Cursive - The Recluse
4. Mansions - Dig Up The Dead
5. The Anniversary - Sweet Marie (13 Rankings)
6. The Moirai - Last Year For Halloween I Was A Ghost (19 Rankings)
7. The Hotelier - Your Deep Rest
8. Weatherbox - Atoms Smash (7 Rankings)
Anyway, making this list wasn’t the most important thing in my life going on this week and I can now confirm I had a successful brain transplant. I wasn’t going to go through with it but then I changed my mind. |
SlothcoreSam
07.17.22 | Wishing you a speedy recovery shemson! |
Shemson
07.17.22 | I’m sure you got that that was the pun requirement being fulfilled Sam but your nice comment made me like ‘oh no I gotta say I’m joking’ 🤣 |
Mort.
07.17.22 | honestly, i didnt even get the pun at first because the first part of it seemed serious.
if it was just 'my brain surgery went well. at first i wasnt going to go through with it but then i changed my mind' it would be much clearer it was a pun |
Shemson
07.17.22 | Ah shit, I meant transplant not surgery!
Maybe I do need a transplant, this heat it messing me up sorry lads! |
SlothcoreSam
07.17.22 | Oooh shit, that was the pun, lol I was wondering where you had the time to put together a playlist.
Anyways I'm bored at work so read this... |
SlothcoreSam
07.17.22 | Sloth's emo compendium. Pt 1.
My album starts off with a humorous take on the emo scene of the 00s, whilst at the same time scoring some nostalgia points with the parody of some well-known artists. Surely Mars has heard this before, and it's my only addition with over 15 ratings.
Next up is STOMACH BOOK, an up-and-coming 5th wave emo band, blending everything from cabaret to punk, to emo to circus music. It was actually hard picking a song from this album as there are a lot of great ones, Animals had the best flow. I really wanted to add a 5th wave emo band in, and was tossing up between Origami Angel, and Sput's own Wasted Space, but in the end went with the lesser known 2021 release.
Next up is the first from a pioneering trilogy, perfectly contrasting the modern, with a 1st wave emo/core number by The Hated. And The Hated are Hated, or should I say neglected here on Sput, with no more than a handful of ratings for each of their releases. The song starts with the spoken words "Never said it'd be like this, right?" playfully acknowledging the experimental 5th wave emo that preceded it in the setlist, then pure punky emocore bliss fills the ears. This 1985 track demands your attention and won't leave your head.
Things start to get a little heavier with the 94 early screamo Swing Kids, straddling the line of hardcore and post hardcore, there is enough emotion here to warrant it early screamo, with only 13 people rating their debut EP. You can hear a lot of Refused and Orchid when you listen to this, no doubt they were influenced.
Let's get a little bit more aggressive with Pg. 99, another criminally underrated band on Sput with nothing rated above 2. This is definitely influential early screamo or as we would now label it, emoviolence, before that genre was termed. This concludes the earlier emo releases, one could have made a 100-track emo playlist with classic songs pre 2000s,it was hard to choose 3, but well worth the deep dive to discover new artists. |
SlothcoreSam
07.17.22 | Sloth's emo compendium. Pt 2.
"Not quite finished yet, it'll last a few more minutes" blurts out Aussie emotive post hardcore rockers Raccoon City, after a bludgeoning drum heavy intro that follows on from the previous 3 tracks effortlessly, letting Mars know, it's not quite finished yet. Another 2021 release, with just 8 ratings, there were a couple of great tracks on this album, with this being the standout. Renee Munro adds welcome female vocals, in an otherwise male dominated playlist (I tried ladies).
The distortion bleeds into the penultimate track by Irish self-proclaimed, "emotive post something" band, Casavettes, taking things down a notch with some mathy guitars and wispy vocals reminiscent of Midwest emo and 4th wave darlings throughout the 20teens. This the 3rd album I added to the Sput database, has only 3 ratings, and is great throughout with the heavier progression of this track being a standout.
Last but not least, is my personal favourite emo track out of Australia, Making The Nouveau Riche. Initially released in 2002 Blueline Medic, are often described as the most influential emo band in the region, with artists such as The Smith Street Band, Trophy Eyes, Ceres, Camp Cope, and Luca Brasi all citing them as very important to their sound. Wil Wagner actually sings this song on the Blueline Medic tribute album. With only 5 ratings, this had to be my finale.
I have a heap of emo bands 5'd, Menzingers, Hotelier, Smith St Band, World is a Beautiful Place, Captain We're Sinking, but really wanted to find artists that Mars had yet to rate.
Enjoy |

07.18.22 | 10/15 submitted! Deadline remains Wednesday. |
Sinternet
07.18.22 | Oh damn you just made me realise the pg 99 page is fucked, document 8 had at least 300 ratings before and their other stuff had a considerable amount too |
Sinternet
07.18.22 | Oh no wait its just a duplicate, the main page is pg.99 |

MarsKid
07.18.22 | Slex had real-life stuff that was much more pressing and he had to take care of it. He might not be able to join, so we'll see. |
Uzumaki
07.18.22 | Anyone in favor of letting Slex slide until shit hits the fan in round 5? If everyone else is cool, I really wouldn’t mind if he misses a couple rounds due to adulting, just throwing that out there… |
Shemson
07.18.22 | I’m fine with adding a Slex flex |
Uzumaki
07.18.22 | Slex ‘n’ slide |

07.18.22 | Yeah, or even if he makes 1-2 rounds of phase 1 we could get his average points per week and scale him up to 5 weeks or something |

When I was a teen in my wonderful "emo phase," I lived near a horse track so I often went and saw some of the horse races when they came to town. There was this one horse I was always particularly fond of. I always cheered it on hoping it would one day win, giving hope to lil emo me. After weeks and weeks and months and months of continuously watching this horse, the day finally arrived. It finally won! That's why Gerard Neigh is an absolute legend in my heart to this day... (I hate myself for this) |
MarsKid
07.19.22 | 12/15 locked and loaded! You've got until today and tomorrow to finalize those albums and get 'em in. |
MarsKid
07.19.22 | Wide variety here too it seems. Interesting indeed... |
Uzumaki
07.19.22 | ‘Tis good. Full spectrum |
MarsKid
07.19.22 | I have spun the wheel to prepare for Round 3
I have burst into uncontrollable laughter |
SlothcoreSam
07.19.22 | The joke will be on you, having to listen to 15 albums of whatever genre made you laugh. |
Mort.
07.19.22 | pls be crunkcore |
MarsKid
07.20.22 | "The joke will be on you, having to listen to 15 albums of whatever genre made you laugh."
Which is why the rounds get harder as they go along. I have to have my revenge somehow! |
bgillesp
07.20.22 | Oh could slap y’all in a crunkcore competition. Let the games begin! |
MarsKid
07.20.22 | Crabcore
Whoever crabs the hardest for the longest time wins. |
bgillesp
07.20.22 | You don’t wanna know how long I can crab. Am I remembering correctly that steak is a crabcore expert though? Might be a tough battle |
rockarollacola
07.20.22 | Okay, so I'm watching Boogie Nights and I have a question. How the fuck did John C Reilly make that champaign glass float WHILE he was pouring champaign into it? In the film it's presented like he's doing a party trick, but I seriously have no fucking clue how he did it. |
SteakByrnes
07.20.22 | it's true I am a crabcore connoisseur ;] |
MarsKid
07.20.22 | Last day to submit folks! Judgement commences soon, with results to be expected over the weekend. If you haven't sent in a record yet, now's the time, and if you need to make an edit, this is your chance. |
Shemson
07.20.22 | I’m excited for the next round to be K-Pop and the wacky rule to be no music from South Korea… |
MarsKid
07.20.22 | Black metal but you must extensively research each band you use, and you automatically lose if they are racists/Neo-Nazis/etc
Actually, that's not a terrible idea... |
bgillesp
07.20.22 | No I don’t want to know how many bands I like are awful people |
MarsKid
07.20.22 | This competition is about suffering, it seems apt to me. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.20.22 | I'm fucking suffering from it lmao |
Storm In A Teacup
07.20.22 | If 5pm central time is not too late i will make it this round |
MarsKid
07.20.22 | Things are basically closed by the time I wake up tomorrow, which is roughly 6:20am EST. You've got until then mi amigo! |
Shemson
07.20.22 | Death Metal but you can find at least one picture of the band where none of them have long hair, are doing some invisible grabbing motion with their hand or are gurning |
Pheromone
07.20.22 | I have made it my character progression to bookend my albums with the same artist for aesthetic
1. 125, Rue Montmartre - Disco Hijack

07.21.22 | Ideally will have things published Saturday or Sunday.
Round 3 is already prepared in terms of genre/rules/etc |
Pheromone
07.21.22 | I assume u are giving all the albums the 5 listen treatment to test their growing potential |
Shemson
07.21.22 | Lol Phero
I have to say I’m amazed by the dedication Mars has to smash through 15 playlists repeatedly in a few days at a time
There’ll almost certainly be people who get lucky by hitting him in a good mood though of course, my favourite time for music is normally driving home from work |
MarsKid
07.21.22 | I go into this as neutral as possible, I can assure you. If I'm tired, I pause and take a break. |
Storm In A Teacup
07.21.22 | Hopefully I get some points this time 🤭 |
Shemson
07.21.22 | I believe you Mars mate, incredible dedication
Looking forward to the next one and hoping it’s something I know a thing or two about! |
Uzumaki
07.21.22 | I'ma die next round, just you wait |
bgillesp
07.22.22 | I’ve bought CDs of 2 of the albums from my breaks album so far and 4.5d another album so I’m enjoying discovering music myself for these as well. This emo round wasn’t quite as productive for me but still found some stuff I love. |
MarsKid
07.22.22 | I have a sense that Sinternet is hoarding an entire library of emo and is actively REFUSING to add it to the database. . . . . |
Uzumaki
07.22.22 | Soulseek |
Shemson
07.22.22 | That’s really cool bgillesp, I’m hoping for a round I can unexpectedly get into like that
The emo round made me appreciate my wife’s taste in music a bit more than previously though so that’s nice! |
Sinternet
07.22.22 | i gave up adding stuff to the db when i was finding stuff with 300 ratings on rym that wasnt here lol
so yea there is an extensive backlog |
MarsKid
07.23.22 | Results likely going up sometime Sunday. This is shaping up to be yet another very close race... |

07.23.22 | I’m just ready for that next genre to dive in to |
Storm In A Teacup
07.23.22 | Another close race? I got zero points last time. 🥳🥳🤣 |
Storm In A Teacup
07.23.22 | What are the chances I manage to piss Mars off with Pearlescent being track 3 and doesn’t like the transition to track 4 and gets me zero points again? |
MarsKid
07.23.22 | Most people don't have good flows this round, but overall aesthetic/strength of songs is helping.
It gives me ideas for next round, certainly. . . . . |
Mort.
07.23.22 | i completely forgot to order my one so yeah not surprised |
SteakByrnes
07.23.22 | I spent a good chunk of time swapping songs in and out and around to get a good flow so hopefully it worked lol |
MarsKid
07.23.22 | All of these so far have been, at the very least, great. Even breakcore had few/no albums that I really disliked much, and those I had issues with weren't necessarily offensive.
Y'all been bringing your A game this time. Spooky. |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.23.22 | Mars i literally synced my entire playlist around the first and last seconds song-to-song so will be livid if/gimme another beer actually wow the end is near |
MarsKid
07.23.22 | we are out of beer, I only have a lime seltzer with pineapple garnish and no alcohol. |
Shemson
07.23.22 | Me too Johnny, once I had my eight tracks and worked out what the opener and closer should be I shuffled the others around and kept playing the final 10 seconds into the next track until I had the best possible flow |
bgillesp
07.23.22 | I spent about 2 hours picking songs and about another 2 hours working to find a good flow so I hope you felt mine was decent. Went straight Midwest so the flow would be simpler |
bgillesp
07.23.22 | My problem was that I had several good “closers” so I had to swap one track out that wasn’t my favorite closer for one that worked better in the middle |
Slex
07.23.22 | Lol yeah I did the same as Johnny n Shemson |
Storm In A Teacup
07.23.22 | I see the signs of a burgeoning riot. Call Paramore in case of E-mergency. |

07.23.22 | I'm taking all comers |

07.24.22 | I worked my ass off on flow this time, hopefully it pays off. See my compendium for an explanation. |

07.24.22 | You guys all talking about flow like it's your menarche, I'm just about to hit menopause!
|
rockarollacola
07.24.22 | If I do well on this round I'm going to be genuinely surprised; considering how many competitors seemed to absolutely love this genre. |
SteakByrnes
07.24.22 | hype to see how these pan out |
rockarollacola
07.24.22 | Same. Even though I'm competing, I'm kinda rooting for Sloth this round, considering how much he genuinely cares about this genre. Dude wrote an essay in the comment box; so obviously he knows his shit. |
SlothcoreSam
07.24.22 | Thanks rock! I'm gonna get slaughtered in 90% of the other genres, so I had to kinda go the extra mile this time |
bgillesp
07.24.22 | He must be close. I hope we get to start tonight on the next round. I hope I did well obviously but won’t be devastated if I didn’t this round. I enjoy emo but it isn’t a passion by any means |
