What the term does signify is a particular relationship between a fan and a band. It’s the desire to turn a monologue into a dialogue, to be part if the art that affects you and to connect to it on every possible level - sentiments particularly relevant in an increasingly corporate, suburban, and diffuse culture such as ours.”<br/><br/> - <em>Alan Greenwald in “Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers and Emo”, written in 2003</em>http://www.everybodytosafety.com/post/23882814280http://www.everybodytosafety.com/post/23882814280Sun, 27 May 2012 13:26:50 -0700emomusicgenreAlan Greenwald<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4nwpruEvB1qz5valo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Lul, already glad I bought this book.</p>http://www.everybodytosafety.com/post/23840452118http://www.everybodytosafety.com/post/23840452118Sat, 26 May 2012 17:52:57 -0700emomusic<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iNtBZ6jP--8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>Follow You Home - Save Yourself</strong> (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNtBZ6jP--8&feature=share" target="_blank">FollowYouHomeBand</a>)</p> <p>Got a message from someone who claimed to be the merch person for this band (but is probably a marketing team, judging by the views this video has). </p> <p>This is maybe not 100% my favourite style - but I thought “damn - it would be so fun to be in a band like this”.</p> <p>It’s really inspiring to see a female lead in a heavy band like this, and the “Save Yourself” lyrics got to me a bit too much.
