Midwest Emo

A rough and rugged genre named Emotional Hardcore made love to melodic and gentle Indie Rock. Their child is Midwest Emo, a subgenre of emo that typically incorporates catchy melodies and guitar riffs with the emotional expression and energy of 1980s Emocore bands. Midwest Emo is often easier to listen to and digest than raw energy such as hardcore punk while retaining its archetype edginess and bombast. Examples include Cap'n Jazz, The Promise Ring, Tiny Moving Parts, and Foxing.
Q: Have you heard of the band Tiny Moving Parts? They're my favorite Emocore band.
A: Actually, they're Midwest Emo. Just listen to that intricate guitar work.

the emo tree

A tree at Centennial High School where the emo kids enjoy standing under during the school day and between classes. Under it features a strong lineup of your favorite emos, goths, and metal heads. On occasion they like to listen to death metal out of a speaker in one of their backpacks. During the winter, when the tree is blocked off by the large snowbank, they stand next to it. Once a rival school tried to cut down the emo tree, but the emo guardians came and defended the tree.
"Dude did you see the pack around the emo tree today?"

"Yeah I bet they were doing a sacrifice"
