Comment:

While it hasn’t been filling basements for as many years as punk itself, emo has more than two decades under its belt — enough that you’d need a map to make sense of all the music. Or a carefully curated playlist like the one right here — a speaker-rattling reminder that style doesn’t begin and end with Dischord’s tight-knit D.I.Y. scene (Egg Hunt, Beefeater, Rites of Spring) or such enduring college-radio icons as Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker, and the Promise Ring. It lives on across several generations and subgenres, including the richly orchestrated indie rock of Bright Eyes, the operatic pop-punk of Panic! At the Disco, the heated post-hardcore of Thursday, and the angular but accessible skate-park anthems of Alkaline Trio, Avail, and Taking Back Sunday.
