| Emo Recs
I've done a pretty good job at exploring most of the genres the world has to offer, but emo has definitely been left out of the picture just because I had no idea really where to start or what I was looking for. I've had a couple friends recommend American Football (I hear they're a given) and The Appleseed Cast so I'm going to check them out. I'm open to all recommendations, however I'm really not big on the sappy, pop-punk influenced or melodramatic side of emo. I think I like more traditional sounding emo than some of the more modern/recent bands coming out my friends have showed me. Below are some that I've listened to that I like a good bit to give a broad look at what I'm interested in. Thanks fams, have a nice day. | | 1 |  | Pity Sex
Dark World | | 2 |  | Weezer
Pinkerton | | 3 |  | The Saddest Landscape
You Will Not Survive
My roommate's friend is apparently in this band, but this is basically the opposite of what I like in this genre. I think the vocals are just too whiny and always at the forefront - being over the top. I want the sadness in the music to be subtle and to come off on it's own - not planted right in my face. I don't know, they aren't bad, but I've gotten older now so mindless screams and melancholy riffs all the way up to 11 are pretty cliche. | | 4 |  | American Football
