List of Emo/Screamo

[Guitar Symphony]

I've decided to make a list of all the Emo/Screamo bands that I know. Please people contribute if you find a band that hasn't been posted. NOTE: READ THE ENTIRE THREAD TO CHECK IF NO ONE HAS LISTED A BAND.

I'm doing this so people can check Emo music. Alright this is what I know. (And no, Weezer is not Emo.) I will be editing this list of people find an error or contribute a band.

it actually makes me cringe.

[Ganondorf]

Emo > Thrash and Black Metal

[Ganondorf]

dude, add The Juliana Theory to your list

[i love you taryn]

Please dont suggest crappy immature punk pop bands like simple plan and blink 182 as being "emo".

anyhoo, id like to contribute some great emo bands (some of them might lean more into other styles like indie or post-punk):

cursive
death cab for cutie
bright eyes
coheed and cambria
piebald
armor for sleep
funeral for a friend
further seems forever
the get up kids
my chemical romance
three
matchbook romance
saosin
at the drive-in
anadivine
rilo kiley

sorry if some have already been mentioned.

in that first list, there's a lot of bands which definitely arent emo or screamo, like poison the well, atreyu, eighteen visions etc. As awesome as they are, they are hardcore (i think someone else might've said this too). For anyone interested these are some other good hardcore/metalcore bands:
hopesfall, converge, norma jean

btw, this thread would probably have been better started in the alternative/indie forum, which was partly made for emo fans.

your right about 18 visions and atreyu being metalcore, although atreyu do have elements of emo.

but poison the well is totally 3rd wave emo.

kommie, that's a s'hit hot list :cool:

[i love you taryn]

hey kommie, ive tried listening to a lot of the bands on that list, but most of them dont really work for me (some of them ive gotten into, like SDRE and christie front drive). People are always saying that rites of spring etc. are so emo, but they just sound like oldskool punk rock to me. Ive liked fugazi and gray matter for ages but i never considered their music very emotional, although everyone else seems to think they are the definition of the word. What are the few bands i definitely have to check out before i die?

[CommieCanada]

well SDRE is an absolute must. Mineral and the Promise Ring are great jawbreaker and hot water music and Jets To Brazil are some of my favs. Capn Jazz is crazy good. that's a good list to start on

most of that stuff is really old school punk because it just came out of the dying DC hXc scene, and its pretty early emo stuff

[Spikey]

Bear vs Shark...just checked them out, VERY good
good good. :) One of my personal favorites.


and no one has said Pedro the Lion yet. tsk tsk.

Oh my f'ucking god. As I Lay Dying is METALFU'CKINGCORE. Hopesfall is more emocore in their new crappy release. Listen to 'No Wings To Speak Of' that is an AWESOME album.

[Ganondorf]

I think the emo-pop-punk and the more metallic styles of emo should be included in the list.......if you were gonna make a list of metal bands, you wouldn't just write down the death metal bands, would you?

[Guitar Symphony]

sorry, guys...I got to leave this site. Hope a MOD STICKY's THIS (HINT HINT) So they can edit it. L8r.

But this is for emo/screamo, meaning non-screamo bands are still allowed so long as they are still considered emo. :) Which, by the way, has a lot of leniancy nowadays.

please calm down.

[ATDIrock]

Why is this in the other music forum when there are 2 maybe 3 other forums where this belongs?

Also, some of you need to check what emo is. I mean refused, rise against and the bronx emo? I don't think so.

In the announcement that they made about this forum emo was listed as one of the things that could go in the other forum since if you put it in pop punk people say put it in alt/indie and vice versa. As in, this is the forum that you don't tell people to put in another forum. ;)

Notice that the guy who added those to the list (threadstarter) obviously wanted to know some emo bands, therefore didn't know what emo really was

This emo stuff is confusing.

heh, i wouldn't waste my time making a list of metal bands in the first place....

nah just kidding, i see your point and i agree

but can someone name some bands similar to these:

TBS
AFI
Thursday
simple plan (kidding)
senses fail

[the martyrs ghost]

i say we name every band in every genre bewteen pop-punk and hardcore and call it emo cause i think thats what were doing here by saying bands like from autumn to ashes and posion the well but it makes sense that any kind of music with emotion is emo

[the martyrs ghost]

cause i ussually dont consider every time i die and bands such in that hardcore genre to be emo but w.e

[the martyrs ghost]

haha n one band i might consider being emo would be hot rod circuit which is a pretty good band.

[leking]

nice posts, but try not to post multiple times in a row, you can always edit the last post you made, it pisses some people off around here..:thumb:

but yeh, its hard giving emo bands, but most of those bands listed can pretty much be labelled under the emo catergory

[gracexforthefallen]

quite a few good bands were listed...

however i think it is totally weird to name a band, for example: braid... and then name a band, for example Hopesfall and try to consider them the same category.

i know that this thread is for emo and screamo, i dont know, it just seems out of place to me.

[axeslinga_32]

lets get somethign straight here..


EMO = EMOTIONAL HARDCORE

i catogorise emo into 3 waves -

1st wave emo - the scene that sprouted from the hardcore punk scene back in the day, it involved emotional hardcore bands who would often scream and cry on stage. bands include Julia and Indian Summer

2nd wave emo - started with early nineties soft alternative bands, often with songs about relationships, heartbreak, and the opposite sex. Shares the same fashion as 1st wave emo. Bands include dashboard confessional, sunny day real estate, saves the day, get-up kids etc.

3rd wave emo - the new wave of emo hardcore, also known as emo-core, melodic hardcore, post hardcore, and by the ignorant ones 'screamo'. Just like what happened with 1st wave emo, except with modern hardcore in place of hardcore punk. bands include thursday, thrice, poison the well, at the drive-in, alexisonfire, boysetsfire, the used etc.

i hope that helps at all :)

[gracexforthefallen]

haha .. yes that helped. thank you =).

[johnnyt]

Screamo... Ah jeez. Seriously, I was reading this thread and got really upset at what people are calling emo/screamo. There is no fault in ignorance, no one is expected to know everything, but at least try... You can't take what the radio, MTV, Spin magazine etc say as emo. There is actually a history behind it and why it is. I saw a handful of "real" "emo" bands.

First let me say, emo is not just EMOTIONAL, because then every rock band, metal band, boy band, rap group would be emo. Thats what music is. Emotion.

I say check this site out if you're really wondering about the genre that is emo... Not everything on this site is to be taken litterally (fashion tips...) but it is a good reference to it's history and basics about it.

http://www.fourfa.com/

Now for some bands... I was sad to see a lack of mid-90s european bands. So allow me.

(not limited to mid-90s european, mind you...)
Jasemine
Fingerprint
Anomie
Amanda Woodward
I Have Dreams
I Hate Myself
Cowboys Became Folk Heroes
Dear Diary I Seem To Be Dead
You And I
Heroin
In Loving Memory
Ivich
La Quiete
Joshua Fit For Battle
Reversal Of Man (previously mentioned)
Orchid (previously mentioned)
Raein
Saetia

I hope that list is informative to someone and that site helps someone. Let me also just say again, that site shouldn't be taken too literally. Use your own discretion. My list isn't a complete list of course, and some of those bands may arguably not be screamo. I stuck pretty **** close into it though.

You're omitting a lot of the key stages and overlapping stuff oddly. The first wave of emo, the emotional hardcore stuff, is spot on. The only problem is that this sound split into emo and screamo at around 1990 because of Gravity Records, which hit its heyday simultaneously with what you name second wave emo. Second wave emo itself is a misnomer because this music wasn't emo. They took a lot of similar lyrical strategies from the poppier emo bands of the "first wave" and inserted them into indie rock. This yielded Braid, Samiam, and Mineral. Stuff like that. The modern emo, isn't emo either. It's a mix of hardcore, metal, and punk. When bands "scream" these days, they are sort of just screaming a specific parts over a pop-punk song (Finch, Taking Back Sunday). Some people also think that lyrics about break-ups are "emo" but in reality they resemble pop-punk lyrics, which are nearly always centered on girls, food, and video games (Descendents, NOFX). The funny thing is, these "emo" lyrics are even more juvenile and read like trash from a forgotten livejournal. Ya, that's all.

wait wait wait..... if im not mistaken, emo= emotional lyrics right? well then fugazi and thrice definately aren't emo.... ummmm but the moral of the story is it doesn't really matter what genre it is

[DFelon204409]

wait wait wait..... if im not mistaken, emo= emotional lyrics right? well then fugazi and thrice definately aren't emo.... ummmm but the moral of the story is it doesn't really matter what genre it is

Don't worry, you are mistaken. There's much more to emo than just emotional lyrics. Maybe you shoud work on your reading comprehension if you read my earlier post. I talked 90% about music as opposed to lyrics. Also, you post contains a massive logical fallacy because Fugazi and Thrice but have fairly emotional lyrics.

oh ok, sorry i didn't read the whole 4 pages, i just thought emo was mostly based on lyrics.... but as far as thrice and fugazi having emotional lyrics... i dunno for thrice, i can only think of like 3 or 4 emotional songs(i mean like dealing with relationships or stuff, not socio-political themes) and for fugazi they have mostly socio-polilitical lyrics too, but i dont know alot aboout emo so it doesn't really matter, and if its just about their sound then oh well.. ive failed hehe

A.F.I are punk-emo bigggg diff :(

A.F.I aint punk no more they havent been punk for ages. The were only punk throughout there first 2 cds they released then when shut your mouth came out they incorperated some punk into there music but it was mostly hardcore. That was the same with Black Sails into the Sunset and Art of drowning. But with Sing the sorrow they are completely different. I would lable them metal core/ Black metal/ with some melodic metal

[WhenSorrowFails]

if u guys want some hardcore bands to get into go www.soildstaterecords.com they have the best bands. such has norma jean, underoath, dead poetic, haste the day, & a crap ton more. just check it out if u like hardcore or "screamo"

You are possible one of the most idiotic posters I've read in a while. Have you heard any black metal recently? AFI really doesn't have any metal in their music, much less black metal. They don't have much hardcore in their new music either. They used to be punk now they're alternative. How tough is that you genre-goofing mungbucket?

AFi is straight up rock a bit darker but basically rock not punk, not metal just rock
