>OP is an autist: the thread
It's 2020, not 1990s, "emo" is an umbrella term by now. Nobody gives a fuck about your muh diy hardcore punk anymore, deal with it

I don't think you understand emo

every genre of music is emo when you think about it

This might be a pasta, but whether it's sincere or not, I can acknowledge and agree with a lot of stuff there, but...
The war is over.
No matter how much I want to reclassify stuff I like in order to differentiate it from dudes that melodramatically croon and screech over formulaic chord progressions by labeling them:
>progressive hardcore
>punk melancholia
or whatever, nobody cares because hardly anyone has played that stuff (with high quality or creativity) for almost 20 years.

who I really feel bad for is bands/artists who hate and are stuck with their genre classifications. You think Drive Like Jehu or Unwound like being told they're somebody's favorite emo band? You think John McEntire or Mark Hollis (RIP) or Efrim GYBE like the term post-rock? You think Autechre or Boards of Canada think they make music that fosters intelligent dancing or exclusively intelligent people to dance? You think the guys from Tragedy never take showers?

Everyone knows the right threads/groups/lists pretty quickly by the albums that are praised.
