And no, not that kind of emo. Your middle school days are over. Recently, there's been a delightful amount of good music from bands that combine elements of punk, pop punk, indie rock, and a handful of other genres. So call it what you will, but I'm wondering if anyone else enjoys comfy, sometimes sad bands.

Essential listening for those of you who still feel angsty

I was going to talk about American Football's self-titled album. One of my personal favorite albums ever.

Here's some more emo albums I recommend everyone listens to at least once:

Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
Rites Of Spring - End On End
Cap'n Jazz - Shmap'n Shmazz
Mineral - The Power Of Failing

I haven't really listened to much emo but I heard it was going through a revival of soughts.

I like this song.

American Football and Tiny Moving Parts are great Emo Math-Rock bands.
I haven't really heard any of the others, I might do sometime.

Also, these are some other emo bands worth checking out:

Yes yes, American Football and This Town Needs Guns have made some of my favourite songs.

Some others I'd throw out are:
Modern Baseball (literally almost every song)
Perspective, A lovely hand to hold ('I Get Really Dizzy Sometimes' and 'Pepe Silvia' are personal favs from them)
Foxing
El Ten Eleven - My Only Swerving (technically not emo?, but I put it in my playlists with this kind of music, great song)

It's not really emo but it can get close is metalcore.
Some good bands are BMTH, Whitechapel, or Suicide Silence
I think they can be considered as emo for the lyrics... But i've always been more of a metalhead ^^

The Hotelier and The Wonder Years are pretty good as far as newer bands go. I did always like stuff like Sunny Day Real Estate, The Promise Ring, Texas Is The Reason, Hot Cross etc as well.

In Reverent Fear is another good one I discovered somewhat recently even though they're a bit older and lean more towards screamo-ish stuff most of the time.

Sweetness has always been an Emo-Pop guilty pleasure of mine.



Also this isn't really emo but I recommend this album for those who are fans of emo music. You might dig it.

For me the whole Clarity from Jimmy Eat World is a masterpiece for the emo genre.

Have a Nice Life it's pretty good too. I don't understand why some people don't like it their second album, Unnatural World, for me was a great follow up.

Emo has so many good artists from so many different subgenres. I still have a daily crisis on wether or not some bands are considered emo or not though.

Rites of Spring
