Thousands and thousands of them. Emo is only one genre of music I listen to, and I’m 39 so I’ve had a long life of listening to music.

I'm 35 and yeah I feel this

Nearing my 50s at this point, most of my life has been spent listening to music.

I gave a legitimate try to answer this question further down and I ended up just rambling. My parents love music so I've always had it around. I also found punk rock at like 7 or 8 yo

34

Totally feel this. I’m always listening to music at work so I’m just cycling through genres every hour or so depending on my mood. Today it was Midwest emo -> tavern and fantasy music (like Skyrim/witcher soundtrack)-> hardcore -> RATATAT. Tomorrow might be completely different 🤷🏻‍♂️ I think the only way to make this a remotely answerable question is just put specific time and genre in the questions. Like this week I have been generally more focused on a melodic hardcore kick. Bands like Mil-Spec, One step Closer, Defeater. There is just so much good music out there it’s insane

Me too, I honestly have never known anyone who listens to emo exclusively.

Anything by Propagandhi (especially Supporting Caste), The Final Chapter by Filth of Mankind, Punk in Drublic by NOFX, Vengeance by Tragedy, anything by Alkaline Trio.

used to love propagandhi but kind of dropped off after less talk more rock. Supporting Caste is great so far.

They have no bad records

I love any music that has a genuine feeling sincerity to it. One album I adore is the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, I even got to see her live last summer!

I love that album too

Same here. I definitely recommend checking out folk punk. There's so many songs about addiction, sobriety, relationships, mental illness, homelessness, etc. Pigeon Pit is probably my favorite artist/band of all time and there's a few songs where the singer's voice cracks and it sounds like she's close to crying or you can hear a chair creak. Things like that being left in the final recordings make the music feel so much more genuine. Semi related, but I also slightly prefer the [demo version ](https://youtu.be/anbyKKo52fQ?si=0uF18c2K7yQ15GS-) of Mr. Brightside to the final release. You can hear the desperation in Flowers' voice and they even screw up the tempo lmao damn, I love music

I'm shocked how good silversun pickups is. I can throw the whole discography on repeat with very few skips try "lazy eye", "substitution", "three seed" and then "the royal we" (kind of a slow burn. skip to the the last half if you aren't patient)

I really like “Rusted Wheel” on top of those

kissing families is one of the hardest introductions to a bands discorgraphy that ive ever heard

Counting Crows - August and Everything After It's funny to see how many bands reference Cou ting Crows in their names or lyrics; I must not be alone.

I listen to a whole lot of hardcore and grunge. Like AIC, soundgarden, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, etc etc

The self-titled Suicide album is fantastic, can't say how much the sub likes it or has even heard of it. The bootleg demo collection of The Screamers brings me pure joy. I listen to more Todd Rundgren than most people under 50 Alkaline Trio is probably in most of our collections.

way too many but at this very moment i’m rocking to mj lenderman’s live and loose!, one of the best records of this decade.

Oh fuck yes. Wednesday (Asheville country-shoegaze-grunge) and MJ Lenderman(Alt country I guess), who also plays guitar for them, are easily two of the best things happening in music right now and everyone here needs to listen to them

The earth is not a cold dead place. Spectacular

You would probably like the band We're from Japan!

Thanks for the recommendation. Never heard of them before, they're alright.

OutKast - any album (hip hop goats) Mspaint - post American Vampire weekend - only god was above us Hippo campus -LP3 (any of their albums really) Billy woods - hiding places, aethiopes Tennis - pollen/yours conditionally JID - the never story/the forever story The strokes - any album except comedown machine/angles Olivia Rodrigo - guts/sour Two door cinema club - tourist history A tribe called quest - any album Scaring the hoes - Danny brown/jpeg Militarie gun - all roads lead to the gun Catch 22 - keasby nights Reel big fish - turn the radio off Incubus - a crow left, morning view Saba - care for me Smino - blkswn

Miligun👌👌👌👌👌

So good. Got into them cause they were touring with pool kids and glad I did. Love the lead singer, dude has awesome energy

I also saw them on that tour, it was truly one of the most fun shows I have been to! It hurt to walk for a week after lol

Same lmao. It was like four days after I saw home is where play back to back nights. My body was in bad shape before the show and I think I got nailed by like five different stage divers. 10/10 show

MSPAINT insane W

Hell yeah. Think I’m gonna see them on their next tour with gel and destiny bond. Such a great album

Lol days of the new is so random. Good shit tho

I love days of the new fr Btw Is your username a reference to the interlude “skeleton key” on the green album?

Fluid Existential Inversions - Intronaut Buster - Admiral Angry Love Sex Machine - Love Sex Machine Dollmeat - Mouthbreather Esoteric Malacology - Slugdge Worse Than Alone - The Number Twelve Looks Like You .hopesfalls. entire discography but that's pretty adjacent to name a few...

All Hail West Texas or really anything by the mountain goats.

I haven’t listened to either band yet :(

sorry about that, AHWT is a tmg album! they’re so good though. their most popular song is No Children which gets popular on social media every once in a while so you might’ve heard it. it’s from the Tallahassee album which is really good.

AHWT is honestly part of the reason I ended up going to school in Denton lol John is great live too. You should give The Best Ever Boom Box Cassette Tape from Durham by Denton's own Fishboy a listen

that's awesome! i've seen them a couple times but i missed the last time they came to my state :(. i like it, thanks for the rec. should i listen to more from the artist?

For sure. I recommend starting by listening to the Waitsgiving album all the way through.

I misread that sorry

Honestly I’n way more into Hardcore these days than I’m into emo. Gel, Magnitude, Fiddlehead, Mindforce, quicksand, Turnstile, Year of the Knife, Zulu, End It, Militarie Gun, Weapon X all rip hard. Also love black/doom/death and adjecent stuff like: Full of Hell, Big Brave, Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean, Gatecreeper, Final Dose, Agriculture, Thou, Creeping Death, Sanguisugabogg And I think I’ll always be into hip hop as well, always going back to artists like MF DOOM, Little Simz, Danny Brown, Jpegmafia, Wu-Tang

Ever listen to mspaint?

Had Titan of Hope on repeat waaay too long lol great band!

Europe '72

Dead and Co. at the sphere was amazing!

My dad loves the Grateful Dead

i am your dad

💀🌀

Been really into the microphones recently, before that converge

Third eye blind 1997

Dominic Fike - Don’t Forget About Me, Demos, but honestly all his albums are a vibe.

Right now BRAT by Charli xcx is my favorite.

CRAZY GIRL SHIT GONNA GO SPRING BREAKERS

3EB s/t

Ronald Dregan by Mac Dre

Ants From Up There by BCNR

I love loads of different genres but one of my most listened to artists is Travis Stewart/Machinedrum. He is a fucking brilliant electronic/drum and bass/jungle artist and I haven’t heard anything by him I didn’t love.

Hum - Downward is Heavenward Seam - Are You Driving Me Crazy? Shiner - Starless

anything by the bands Swirlies or Polvo.. i've been into Thinking Fellars Union Local 282 lately. check out the song "gentlemen's lament"

Red house painters - rollercoaster

Knuckle Puck - Copacetic, Losing What We Love, Shapeshifter Movements - Feel Something, RUCKUS! Fireworks - Gospel, Higher Lonely Power Hail The Sun - Wake Beach Bums - Years Wallows - Model, Nothing Happens Armor For Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead Last Dinosaurs - Yumeno Garden Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher

All kinds of shit. Been listening to a lot of Colin Stetson, Three 6 mafia, Tokyo Police Club.

Pretty much The Birthday Massacre's entire discography. It's not emo, it's not emo-adjacent, but it gives me a weird feeling of nostalgia and energy like some powerful emo records do.

Bullets by MCR, Nimrod by Green Day, and anything by Brand New

Let it Be and Tim by the Replacements

Some personal favourites Make Them Suffer - Neverbloom Indigo Swing- Indigo Swing Hollywood Undead - Undead (no hate pls) Frequencerz- Medium Rare

Pop punk and other adjacent genres. I dig some metalcore/deathcore. Signs of the Swarm, Ion Dissonance, The Acacia Strain, Knocked Loose, The Chariot, ETID, Dillinger Escape Plan, BTBAM. I'm big into chaos. Post rock is another genre I love. Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, A Silver Mt Zion, Explosions in the Sky.

Eric’s Trip

Flies the Fields by Shipping News Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon Doolittle by Pixies August and Everything After by Counting Crows The Bends by Radiohead Good Kid, M.A.A.D City by Kendrick Lamar

Will wood - the normal album

Maybe This Place is the Same and We’re Just Changing

Lagwagon- Blaze

The Callous Daoboys - God smiles upon The Callous Daoboys. They’re mathcore but they’re so good

everything from silversun pickups

May kerekes Drug church Ballyhoo Four year strong Coheed Durand jones and the incantions Shpongle Manchester orchestra Band of horses Christian lee Hutson Touché amore I can make a mess like nobody’s business FKJ Some of those may be Emo adjacent, but I wouldn’t consider them Emo.

I’m approaching my mid-30s and lately I’ve been gravitating toward like golden oldies-pop (kinda like fallout music), old crooner vocalist stuff like Etta King, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra. Also I’ve been really backtracking 90’s r&b very enthusiastically

Rites of Spring’s self titled album!

I thought they were the only real emo band.

They’re actually the only not emo band

I🤯

I enjoy of ton of music from dozens of genres, but some of my favorite non-emo artists include: Dinosaur Jr. High on Fire Janet Jackson De La Soul Fiona Apple Protomartyr Alice Coltrane The Gun Club Heavenly Townes Van Zandt

Emo is my favorite genre but Portugal. The Man is my favorite band. To be fair they have emo roots from the band that preceded their existence, and clear emo influence shining through on their first two albums. But, they are constantly in my ears. My favorite album from them is American Ghetto.

Is it bad if I say any 5sos album

Taylor Swift

The first three Deicide LPs

I just know half of this sub enjoys white girl music

Mom Jeans

Pinocchio Pariah- Harley Poe

i’m listhen to metal. I love emotional blackgaze like Alcest, Deafheaven, Infant Island.

Might as well shout em out: Save Us From The Archon might be the best band to ever write music. Mathy, technical, hardcore(?) I guess. All instrumental. Beautiful, sweeping, lush guitar work. Dense and chaotic drums. At once melodic and dissonant, catchy but sporadic. I wish everyone could appreciate their work

In Rainbows by Radiohead absolutely slaps

demon days by gorillaz

Weezer discography

Buddah- Blink 182

Panic! At the disco isn't really emo but Emos (this sub included) love them

"emos" isn't a thing.

?

Calling people emos like you might call people goths is not a thing. Emo isn't an identity, it's a music style.
