The Emo Thread Genre • Page 380

Stellar shoegazey South Korean emo. Was on my Discover playlist and I’m now in love

 

I’m posting Zac’s thread here cause I haven’t gotten around to some of these genre classics yet. Good stuff in the replies…

 

Harmlessness
Everyone Everywhere 2012
You’re Gonna Miss It All
What It Takes to Move Forward

 

For me personally it's:

The North End / We're All Better Than This (too hard to choose - Joie is my favorite band from this entire era)
Home, Like Noplace Is There
What It Takes To Move Forward or maybe a compilation of the best split EP tracks
Whenever If Ever (but really primarily "Picture of a Tree That Doesn't Look Okay")

Some Kind of Cadwallader is obviously deserving for how influential it was but I didn't get into it until years later.

 

I can’t stand this fucking guy

 

Lol

 

Not super new, but I just discovered and am now obsessed

 

The whole demo slaps

 

What’s your favorite Casket Lottery album?

they’re coming to a venue I like in a few months, so I checked out their 2020 album and I’m really liking it.

 

Moving Mountains, Choose Bronze, Survival is for Cowards in that order, but all three of those are essential

 

Hell yeah love this

 

Just grabbed this!

It's a great album and on my personal top 10 of the year. If you're interesting in finding more of that sound I recommend checking out the other Longinus Recordings artists: https://rateyourmusic.com/feature/sonemic-interview-longinus-recordings/ starting with the Parannoul album which was my 2021 AOTY.

 

I can’t stop listening to the newest from Brakence. snagged a ticket for the show in a week with Jane Remover.

 

Some great albums shouted out here. Particularly happy to see a GAS record on here haha- that was unexpected. I'll have to check out the others. Thanks for this!

 

This sounds like long lost ybi b sides

 

Injury Tape, Ben Quad, and Elephant Jake are all great

 

Don’t know how I missed this Combat record earlier this year. Extremely my shit. RIYL Joyce manor self titled with like, a little bit of early MoBo/front bottoms.

 

Here's a couple of albums from this year on my top ten that haven't been posted that I think people might appreciate:

The first is Diels-Alder which is midwest emo from China. RIYL Chinese Football.

The second is a Missouri band called TRSH, which is a mixture of Tiny Moving Parts / Front Bottoms style emo with teenage lyrics and bad singing, but my favorite sing-alongs of the year.

 

Enjoying this new EP
