Chris’s Picks: Make Emo Great Again
Oh hey. It’s been minute. Sorry 4 the wait.
But we’re back, and we’re taking a 3 hour dive into everyone’s favorite genre: emo.
Now, this playlist is hardly definitive. Like all of my mixes, this one simply contains songs I like, and they just happen to all be emo songs ranging from the early stuff like Knapsack and The Promise Ring thru the emo revival’s The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die and Modern Baseball to new stuff like Short Fictions. If you even remotely like the fringes of this stuff, there’s probably something here you’ll enjoy.
Like Indie Rock? Try Rainer Maria, Kind of Like Spitting, Elliott, or The Appleseed Cast.
Enjoy Pop Punk? Check out The Jealous Sound, The Get Up Kids, or You Blew It!
Big fan of Philadelphia? Enjoy Snowing, Algernon Cadwallader, or Glocca Morra.
See? Something for everyone.
As always, cut and paste the link below to check out the playlist, or follow me on Threads as I can post the links there, too. If any kind souls know how to make hyperlinks work in Squarespace’s iPhone app, let me know.
