emotive hardcore

A common misconception is that emotive hardcore or 'emo' refers to metalcore or screamo bands such as Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, etc. However, this is not the case. Emotive hardcore as a music genre actually refers to bands such as I Hate Myself, Braid, Sunny Day Real Estate, among others. There is no 'mainstream' emo band, and it is a genre generally not listened to by those who find the 'emo' subculture stereotype of black eyeliner, wrist-cutting, etc.

Joe: I love emotive hardcore! What's your favorite band?
Kyle: Oh you know, Black Veil Brides, Bring Me The--
Joe: NO.

Bands included: Never Ending Game, Pain of Truth, Shattered Realm, Drain, Throwdown, Earth Crisis, 100 Demons, Bury Your Dead, Sunami, Bulldoze, etc.

Person 1: Hey, are you going to Tied Down this weekend?

Person 2: Fuck no, Beatdown Hardcore is trash

I told you I was hardcore

The last words typed by Brandon Veda, a young man who committed suicide by drug and medication overdose, live on webcam while he conversed with people on IRC who encouraged him.

If you OD on drugs while on IRC with people who didn't think you'd do it, say "I told you I was hardcore" to prove your toughness. Then die.

Emotive hardcore

This is what emo really stands for, it is short for emotive hardcore. A subgenre of hardcore Punk that formed in Washington in 1985, which also has it's roots in indie rock. In 1984 a band called Minor Threats idea, a Minor Threat fan called Guy Picciotto formed a band called Rites of Spring. This turned out to be the first emo band ever, even though they decline the subgenre. Later on other bands like Embrace and Moss Icon joined in and formed a music subgenre called emotive hardcore.

Later on a second wave of emo hit Washington. Bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas Is The Reason were included. They also decline that they're emo.

Some other real emo bands are

- Gray Matter
- I Hate Myself
- The Pine
- Braid

Emo 1: Did you go to Sunny Day Real Estate's concert last night?

Emo 2: Yeah, they were amazing. They are a perfect example of a real second wave emotive hardcore band.
