Entering the 1990s, the genre became more defined, with a new wave of bands such as Indian Summer, Ordination of Aaron, Policy of 3, Still Life, Current, Embassy and Sunny Day Real Estate moving the sound forward. As the 90s progressed, the genre continued to evolve, with bands such as Cap'n Jazz, Mineral, Braid, The Promise Ring and American Football at the forefront. 90s Emo continues to have a strong impact on bands of today, with countless examples.

    Still Life's "From Angry Heads with Skyward Eyes" is essential to me. One of the best, but often overlooked emo bands, but in the mid-90s they were considered one of the more influential bands on the sound.

    24hr Revenge Therapy-Jawbreaker, this conversation Is ending starting right now-Knapsack, Our Own Wars-Small Brown Bike, and Clarity-Jimmy Eat World all deserved to be on this list in my opinion.

    I rediscovered Clarity from Jimmy Eat World recently. It’s an absolute gem and a near perfect album. It’s definitely an essential 90’s Emo album for me.

    Nice! Indian Summer, Breakwater and Strictly Ballroom.
    Some More Essential 90s Recs:
    Evergreen - Seven Songs
    Anything from The Hated
    Lync - These Are Not Fall Colors
    Yaphet Kotto - Syncopated Synthetic Laments for Love

    Bravo man. This is one of the first EMO lists I've seen that mentions bands that desperately needed to be mentioned.. Braid gets slept on all the time. Breakwater, Strictly Ballroom, Policy Of 3...🔥 Best list I've seen so far on YT.

    I would maybe have included Promise Ring’s 30 Degrees Everywhere album (1996). It’s an overlooked midwest emo gem. Or maybe Jawbreaker’s Dear You?

    • @slo8681
      @slo8681 2 місяці тому +1

      Dear you was the worst Jawbreaker album next to bivouac. 24hr revenge therapy and unfun are far better exampls, even for this video. I will admit dear you is objectively good, but for Jawbreaker; its shit

    The Power of Failing is my favourite album ever. My neurodivergent brain feels emotions so strongly that Chris Simpson’s vocal and guitar tone just bring me catharsis so selflessly.

    Oof, so many good albums. Shout out to Hour of the Star and Broken Hearts are Blue for music that will stick with you for a long time as well.
    If you'd ever like to check out the result of these influences outside of the US, a band from my hometown in Brazil called Festina Lente (2004-2006) has me revisiting their only existing recordings from time to time. ua-cam.com/video/tYXvuTYSZ6U/v-deo.html

    • @TheMusicNarrative
      @TheMusicNarrative  10 місяців тому

      There’s unfortunately not a lot to find. Just the demo I talked about (which is on UA-cam) and their 7” single with Five and Seven. The band also did another 7” with the band Closure and their song Eleven is featured on there. Not much else. There’s apparently unreleased stuff out there but we’ll probably never hear it.

    Emo to me is punk transitioning into indie rock - while still maintaining it's honesty & emotional intensity 🤟 🎶

    • @poppunktwinkledork
      @poppunktwinkledork 9 місяців тому

      we all have our own interpretations of what emo is, but from a strictly historical standpoint, emo stemmed off the dc hardcore scene... so its not really punk.

    • @leodivine
      @leodivine 9 місяців тому +2

      ​@@poppunktwinkledork hardcore's full name is hardcore-punk - it's punk rock with the speed heaviness & shoutiness taken to the extreme - so hardcore is actually a subgenre of punk - it's widely acceptable to call hardcore 'punk' as it does fall under that umbrella ✌️
