CHAOS IS ME

So if I need to tell you about Minor Threat and D.C Hardcore and Rites Of Spring and Embrace and "Emocore" and Fugazi and how that's where Emo comes from then you're reading the wrong blog, frankly. There's so much writing about this that I'm not even going to paraphrase it. Go wiki Emo or something.

But just as contentious and misunderstood is Screamo.
This kicked off in the early 90's, and was chaotic and intense, like D.C Hardcore had been, but new and more expressive. More emotional and less tough-guy. And faster. It wasnt too far removed from Powerviolence/grind at times.
I think it's best if you just check out these videos from shows to get the jist. I love watching these. I love how the kids react to it. They all look just the same as the band and everyone goes insane for a few minutes and then it's over. That doesnt happen at shows anymore.












and as a final treat, here's the Charles Bronson film.
