Required listening for people who are fans of the modern "emo" craze...
Rites of Spring "S/T"
Husker Du "Zen Arcade"
Sunny Day Real Estate "Diary"
Braid "The Age of Octeen"
But while we're on the topic...what really IS emo? If it's short for 'emotional' suggesting that the music of the genre is emotional...is that a poor label? Doesn't all music convey some sort of emotion? And isn't that an arbratary assessment? Some people may find a particular Dashboard song very emotionally touching, while others think it's shallow and cliche'.
Let the discussion begin...
