Who is the greatest emo band of all time OVERALL?

Mcr not emo.

Best emo band is Bright Eyes

Cap'n Jazz

Probably Ho-kago Tea Time since I always see them in emo threads.

jimmy eat world

>>128454514
true emo? I Hate Myself
pop-punk/zoomies emo? Fallout Boy's first 5 albums
>>
>>128454526
where should I start with Bright Eyes? t. pop punk/whiny emo fan
>>
>>128454586
I legitimately don't get the insane love for Jimmy Eat World. They're good, maybe even a tad underrated, but they don't come close to bands like MCR, earlier Fall Out Boy, The Starting Line, Paramore, Mayday Parade, Taking Back Sunday, etc. Maybe their singer just bores me or something

Pretty much all of their albums and EPs have some level of good in them. They're also one of the most mature and sonically expansive bands in the genre.
>MCR
Really only Bullets is a gigaclassic. The rest of their discography has been spammed so much that it's lost a bit of its charm for me, and later albums are very compressed masteringwise.
>FOB
Good band (pre hiatus), but they don't really have JEW level classic.
>Starting Line
Underrated, but they were just another very good emo-pop / skate punk hybrid, while JEW were already experimenting with more progressive elements in their music.
>Paramore
Their albums post-Farro brothers are incredibly inconsistent, and even back then they had a few filler songs per album (yes, even in BNE).
>Mayday
Just one great EP and that was it for them. Mogged by All Time Low at that scenecore style.
>TBS
They are both underrated and overrated depending on who you ask for, but I'd argue their first three albums were on JEW's level; shame that they couldn't proceed with good records after LP3.
>>
Brand New probably

>>128454764
idk how you can think mayday parade or the starting line are anywhere near the band that mad clarity.

Poison The Well. The band perfected twink vocals and actual heavy riffs before everyone else. A lot of the Hot Topic bands that were influenced by them sound watered down in comparison

Most of you morons don't know what emo is. SCENE KIDS AREN'T EMO. Emo kids had no friends. Scene kids were just preppy faggots that wanted appropriate alt culture. LEARN IT. LIVE IT. BITCH FUCK YOUR MOTHER.

MCR IS NOT EMO. FALL OUT BOY IS NOT EMO. PANIC AT THE DISCO IS NOT EMO. THIS IS FUCKING POP ROCK. MCR was post hardcore on their first album. The only actual emo band that ended up being their peer is The Used, but they stopped being emo after ILAD and went full-on pop punk/radio rock. Their self-titled album is their best work. Yes, they were always quite poppy, but pretty fucking emo/post-hardcore in the most accessible way.

EMO KIDS ARE FUCKING LONER LOSER FREAKS, BUT NOT IN A LOUD FAGGOT WAY. WE WEREN'T COOL, YOU NIGGERS. FUCK. FUCKING NIGGERS. NIGGER FUCKING CHRIST.

>>
>>128456994
Nope, MCR was not emo. Loners didn't like them. Loners fucking hated them and that faggot helmet hairstyle that got popularized by the poser faggots. Emo kids listened to shit that wasn't even categorically emo, like NIN, Depeche Mode, new wave shit, and then some actual emo bands or indie singer-songwriter/folk shit like Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes, Cursive, etc. Scene faggots are the ultimate poser queers. They were jocks with overdone hair.

Saves The Day was what all the girls talked about in the hardcore-post-emo scene. Girls literally started dressing that way, open vest and collar shirts, you have no idea what it is was like driving down the freeway with a car full of girls requesting saves the day in the tape deck on the way to a hardcore show. All those girls singing saves the day the whole way to the venue.

wait, i thought emo was for the loners?

Why the fuck do you think these niggers had Myspace and Facebook? THEY HAD FRIENDS. Why do you think all the fucking nostalgiabaiting 'emo' influencers on insta are popular? BECAUSE THEY WERE ALWAYS MAINSTREAM. These queers were never alt. They're corpo slop goyim.

Lifetime rule goes without saying
>>
>>128457178
you literally just said you had friends too. what kind of retarded argument are you making.
>>
>>128457205
Nigger, I never said I had friends. I had zero friends. I was the epitome of an emo kid. Pale, disheveled hair because I didn't fucking wash it, and I didn't TRY to look cool. I didn't have money to fucking buy clothes from Hot-Topic because my mom wasn't some Stacy bitch from Suburbia, and my parents were fucking divorced by the time I was 2-years-old. I was hated by everyone I knew, and my only access to people like me was through forums and online spaces no normie motherfuckers with a Myspace or Facebook would know about, and 4chan was one of those spaces up until 2007.

>>128457161
You're making it sound efficient to your day
Back in the day, before the internet, losers used to meet up and do loser shit together on the regular, losers hung out with losers, what a concept. I know that's a hard concept for you to grasp. And it sounds outrageous, yeah sure, I can't even imagine nowadays, but that scene existed, and every one was a loner, and everyone had something in music to relate to, not a day passes where can't empathize with the pain of your gen
>>
>>128457350
Nah, if you were meeting up with people, especially if it was more than 1 other person, you weren't a loser.
>>
>>128457350
>loners
>but they had friends and spent time woth other people
so... not loners then. my point is how retarded it is to say "that didn't count because the people who listened to it had friends" when people who listen to anything have friends. lots of different kinds of people have friends.
>>
>>128457394
You also have to keep in mind there were a lot chomo xennials in the scene shit, so they were by nature not loners. They molested the fuck out of millennial scene girls, no different from jocks that would roofie cheerleaders. Same faggots, different costume.
>>
>>128457394
>but they had friends and spent time woth other people

grammar and context, twist it to your narrative. ICQ and AIM, nothing like how you have it, desperation to find someone like yourself was in fact more desperate. The basic human need to relate. You, based on your replies, are not even with that, and perhaps your ego plus terminally online is not allowing you to be in touch with this desperation, in sofar the way that I was, shake it up, you're not alone, literally just go outside and stay outside of yourself for connection, albeit keep your wits about you

There’s a good argument that it’s Cap N Jazz since they were ultimately the most influential band for all the following waves of emo, but I would argue Algernon is the greatest emo band. They took the Cap N Jazz sound and perfected it with much cleaner and precise instrumentals and twinkly elements, reviving emo back from the hell hole of 3rd wave. This is basically the band for emo purists. 3rd wave emo bands like MCR and Jimmy Eat World are basically alternative rock with whiny vocals, and I’m speaking as someone who likes these bands as well.
>>
>>128457682
jimmy eat world is more real emo than capn jazz

>abritrary nonsense
>>128457527
Who writes like this, don't you have a term paper to write
>>
>>128457703
You’re going to need to define emo then. Emo isn’t necessarily whiny vocals over alternative rock instrumentals. I think in a broader sense it’s “emotional hardcore” which involves a general sense of aggression. The OG purist emo bands were influenced by 90 post hardcore. Jimmy eat world and MCR came into the spotlight with their whiny pop punk alternative sound after emo was already a recognized genre. Listen to Cap N Jazz or Rites of Spring. They have a noticeable aggression or hardcore/punk element to them

Yvette Young is the textbook example of the young cute female artist who really doesn’t deserve the amount of hype and popularity she has. She’s popular literally just because “AWWW SO CUTE”. Everything she has written is completely mid, uninspiring, and corny. There are countless highly talented and innovative emo/mathrock guitarists who get absolutely overshadowed by her simply because they don’t have a vagina. Think I’m overreacting? She actually was given a place in Rolling Stones 250 greatest guitarists of all time. If they wanted to pick someone who actually contributed more heavily to the emo/mathrock genre, they could have picked someone like Victor Villarreal from Cap N Jazz.
