So back in 1984 a band called Rites of Spring played a brand of hardcore punk that was different than most at the time, taking influence from Minor Threat the lyrics were more about inner struggle of the soul and mind rather than socioeconomic struggles more commonly seen in punk. The instrumentals were also just a notch down from the normal blaring intensity of hxc. This was called emotive hardcore or emocore for short. Then in the 90s many bands stated playing slower, more melodic hardcore with singing and influence from post rock, pop, pop punk and many other genres; bands like Drive like Jehu, Fugazi, At the Drive In, Refused, etc. These were post-hardcore bands. At the same time, bands took the same concept and slowed it down even more, taking out most or all of the screaming vocals and heavy instrumentals and playing a lighter, more heartfelt and intimate brand of emocore, and these bands were called emo. Jawbreaker, American Football, Jimmy Eat World, The Promise Ring, etc. In addition to some bands taking it lighter, some went darker and heavier while still delving into deep intimate emotion, the vocals were raw, production was minimal and the emotion was raging through the explosive songs. This was called screamo. Pg. 99, City of Caterpillar, Orchid, Saetia, etc.Turn of the century comes and the lines start to blur as post hardcore acts like Silverstein, Finch, Senses Fail, Underoath, Thursday, fuse pop punk and emo into their post hardcore. Millennials aren't sure what to call them and as a result a lot of these bands end up being mislabeled as emo, and as more bands like them start to form that get bigger in pop culture thanks to Hot Topic and scene marketing (My Chemical Romance, The Used, From First to Last) these bands also get the mislabel of emo or screamo by uninformed people who have only heard the terms once or twice and lack an understanding. So by the time FOB, P!ATD and all those other pop punk/pop rock bands got big, 'emo' had been bastardized by the public eye into a fashion or style, a joke about hair fringes, tight pants, and shallow high school heartbreak lyrics, while actual emo of the time was mostly overlooked by the masses (The Early November, Dashboard Confessional, Bayside, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, etc; this emo fused lots of indie, post rock as well as pop punk and phc). Now you know and knowing is half the battle

This sounds so terrible. Don't even upload a song if your can't get it over 240p.

this is a bit better then I remember it. I couldn't stand the female vocals last time but it's not too bad now.

Ignorance is bliss no wise woman's failed to mention and surely some koan suggests 'neglect leads to perfection'but the more I turn my face from the crowdthe more I feel my backs' increasingly compelledfor the sake of escape, to turn a knife on itself,a knife of relief, from all the petty insightand finally I'll sleep, I'll sleep through the night

very post rock sounding

Someone recommended I check this out and I was hopeful until the screaming started. I'm a fan of screaming in certain situations and when used to effect in the music, but constant same-toned screaming just detracts from the music. Can barely ever hear the instruments under all that bullshit.

i'm glad i live in ny and all those bands passed through abc no rio... i went from streetpunk shows to nyhc ( which both i still love) but i caught Orchid at a show at abc no rio and all i wanted was more of that... then i found Pg.99 and till this day top 5 greatest punk bands ever in my eyes.
