What is emo, anyway? A look into the origins of a culture that shaped us.

from School of Emo · host Erin Judge

In today's episode, we're talking about the roots of emo and its evolution into the sound we know today. From the emotional gut-punches of Rites of Spring to the MySpace anthems of Taking Back Sunday, we're tracing how this genre went from underground to mainstream, and how it forever changed the way we express pain, love, and everything in between.   If you'd like to come on to share your emo experiences, favorite stories or lore from bands you love, or an EMO-ment for a future episode, email [email protected] or message me on Instagram @school.of.emo
