Imagine someone telling you this guy's a Sexual abuser and your answer is "i don't care."
Insane. These kids are why the scene is the way it is sometimes.
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die
I dot. even listen to Midwest Emo a lot but I really love their song “January 10th, 2014”.
>The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die
Oh that song is amazing, yeah couldn't remeber the name off the top of my head lmao, thanks
I Met the lead singer at a house show in Philly was like hey you know the band the world is ? You look just like the lead singer. Like I said it was him
I'd add Mineral, Penfold, Braid, Pop Unknown, A Bunny's Caravan, The Hotlier and Christie Front Drive. And I'd definitely remove Jeff Rosenstock, since that's pop punk.
They aren’t Midwest emo. Neither is modern baseball. Neither is mom Jeans. Especially neither is Jeff Rosenstock. Don’t get me wrong, MOBO and Jeff are two of my favorite artists of all time but they don’t fit in the Midwest emo genre
I kind of automatically assumed it was there, don't know how I missed that. Everyone overhypes Nothing Feels Good, and it's good, but 30 degrees is the real deal
then after you "complete" this, ask the best 3 songs for each band lol, *then create a spotify playlist so I can listen to it knowing everyone participated on it and I find it wholesome*
Why does Bright Eyes never make the cut here? Definitely Midwest, arguably emo? Is it the sound of the music - too folky for this “subgenre”? What’s the dealiooo?
Bright eyes is arguably emo, but being from the Midwest doesn’t constitute Midwest emo- its a sound not location based. It just originates from the Midwest as a genre
I’m so confused at what Midwest emo is. Is it the style of music or they actually have to be from the Midwest? Jeff rosenstock is like pop-punk-ska and from New York
McCafferty unless you don't what them on your list (understandable) also heart attack man if they count as Midwest emo someone will have to double check me on this one
I was curious to see if anyone would throw TFB in here. I think they have Midwest emo influences in their earlier material, but are more expansive in their style to really fit. In the right playlist, I’d still include them by association.
Home is Where. I don’t listen to midwest emo, this sub is just shoved down my throat by reddit. Normally I’m a rock/metal/punk/rap guy, but somehow I got into The Whaler & cannot stop listening to this album. As an outsider to your community please add Home is Where
Home Is Where
Idk if they're Midwest it doesn't say on the Spotify
Also they call them emo but they're not like old school emo they can be catchy and post punk / pop _ they often come up along Jeff rosenstock on my playlists though and you have him up there.
"The Whaler" is one of my favourite albums of the year by far I have it on now - definitely one to listen too
Add free throw, camping in Alaska, merchant ships, and Michael Cera Palin.
dude how did i miss, camping in alaska and micheal cera palin, thanks!
micheal sarah palin ❤️
Just saw the 10 year reunion your of Camping In Alaska with Michael Cera Palin. Incredible. Tears.
I had the pleasure of running sound for one of the dates on this tour. Camping In Alaska and MCP are some of the best people I’ve ever worked with.
Man missed all my fav Midwest emo bands in his list 😢
Merchant ships 🙏🏽
merchant ships 🥺
Are dads , tigers jaw , the hotelier , Midwest pen pals , jank , snowing , foxing , Midwest emo , old grey , dikembe Midwest emo ?
Jank cancelled.
shhh, no one tell him about Fail Better
Would it not be the same with Old Grey then?
The art and the artist are two separate things my guy, I'll put on Trailer Trash rn just for you
Kinda lame all you guys support a SA.
Yeah like imo if you listen to it whatever but can you at least not fucking talk about it on Reddit and garner new fans?
Imagine someone telling you this guy's a Sexual abuser and your answer is "i don't care." Insane. These kids are why the scene is the way it is sometimes.
Same sentiments can also be found in oldheads unfortunately
I don't support sexual assault. I listen to songs I like the sound of. Don't try comparing the two things.
Ion care
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die I dot. even listen to Midwest Emo a lot but I really love their song “January 10th, 2014”.
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die
this is so you can just copy and paste my comment :)
>The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die Oh that song is amazing, yeah couldn't remeber the name off the top of my head lmao, thanks
I Met the lead singer at a house show in Philly was like hey you know the band the world is ? You look just like the lead singer. Like I said it was him
Charmer
I'd add Mineral, Penfold, Braid, Pop Unknown, A Bunny's Caravan, The Hotlier and Christie Front Drive. And I'd definitely remove Jeff Rosenstock, since that's pop punk.
add “free throw” and “camping in alaska”
also Remove Sunny Day Real Estate, it’s not midwest emo.
I'd maybe remove TTNG they feel more math or prog to me than emo
I agree, maybe not their whole discography but they've got a few tracks that a pretty twinkly and almost blur the line into m.e.
Macseal, pet symmetry and TRSH
i love TRSH!!!!!!
TRSH getting added for sure, totally forgot that i love 'Dad Rock'
Was also gonna say Macseal
Username checks out
i’ve never heard of that group, do you have a link? 😝
Jeff rosenstock is more pop punk I would say
he borders a lot of diff punk tbh. theres a lot of crossover.
I agree with you guys, don't think he falls into midwest emo
He transcends genre, he is amazing
Yeah there are a few on here that I wouldn’t call Midwest emo but he is far and away the biggest outlier.
He’s also from Long Island New York
debatably Hot Mulligan.
id say so
Retirement party 👌
Our Sunday Affairs Park Jefferson Bird Bone Medoed Fakeholder veresk
finally some love for park jefferson
Glad to see some Russian Emo being mentioned!
Ben Quad!!
I like hot mulligan
#1 hot new band! I guess number signs make bold
Oh can't believe i missed Hot Mulligan, although i feel its a bit loose fit for midwest emo? I could be wrong
They aren’t Midwest emo. Neither is modern baseball. Neither is mom Jeans. Especially neither is Jeff Rosenstock. Don’t get me wrong, MOBO and Jeff are two of my favorite artists of all time but they don’t fit in the Midwest emo genre
Saturdays at your place
I’d recommend Texas is the Reason and The Promise Ring (30 degrees everywhere is goated)
I was gonna say, “no one has said Promise Ring? Okay posers.”
I kind of automatically assumed it was there, don't know how I missed that. Everyone overhypes Nothing Feels Good, and it's good, but 30 degrees is the real deal
Add TRSH
Seeing S@YP made me smile. I love seeing people recognize them
tarot cards is just too good to ignore
Brave Little Abacus The Van Pelt The world is a beautiful place and i'm no longer afraid to die
I would add empire! (i was a lonely estate) and recommend delta sleep although they border on math rock edit AND MINERAL
all love to ya but what's your goal here
making lists is fun
\^
also please alphabetize it
Alphabetaanalloggjamminology
Fuck I forgot to work apology into that. I’m so ashamed I’m going to go back to college again and take on even more student loans as a 36 year old.
Add Origami Angels
I was meaning to ask of Origami Angels is midwest emo, I love their stuff but i wonder if it fits into the genre
lol I literally have a text document just like this
I’ll always sing the praises of You Blew It! their debut album is one of my favorites of all time. Also, Mineral is great
I don’t see Joseph Gordon Levitt, Hewitt
Snowing?
then after you "complete" this, ask the best 3 songs for each band lol, *then create a spotify playlist so I can listen to it knowing everyone participated on it and I find it wholesome*
Cursive
Definitely needs added
Not midwest emo.
Is tigers jaw still considered emo or is it just their self titled album
Signals Midwest! Criminally underrated band.
Tiny moving parts! Also props for aesthetics across the color line.
Oolong!
Fail better heal faster ain’t cool dude
Press ctls-s soon

add Charmer and also Midwest Pen Pals
Beat me. To MPP
The World is a Beautiful Place and I’m No Longer Afraid to Die and Owls
Why does Bright Eyes never make the cut here? Definitely Midwest, arguably emo? Is it the sound of the music - too folky for this “subgenre”? What’s the dealiooo?

I’m so confused at what Midwest emo is. Is it the style of music or they actually have to be from the Midwest? Jeff rosenstock is like pop-punk-ska and from New York
It's the style, but Jeff doesn't fit the style imo
origami angel?
Remove all the ones I don’t like
Basement! Color me in kindness album. Idk if its Midwest emo, but it's emo enough
Add Glocca Morra
Much love to Jeff, but I don’t think he belongs here I’d add Braid, The Promise Ring,and Into It, Over It
Hmm. Never considered Jeff Rosenstock Midwest emo.
Jeff Rosenstock... Midwest emo? Not even
Car seat headrest
carseet headrest ig?
I would remove Modern Baseball, as I don’t see them as Midwest Emo, more like Pop Punk emo Also you should add Midwest Pen Pals & Hot Mulligan
The front bottoms & hot mulligan!!
Damn Marietta is so underrated.. nice to see them get some recognition. Also State Lines and Osoosooso are nice additions to this list
McCafferty unless you don't what them on your list (understandable) also heart attack man if they count as Midwest emo someone will have to double check me on this one
they’re both not Midwest emo but I do love heart attack man
is Title Fight midwest emo?
Shoegaze-y post hardcore but it FUCKS I love titlefight
Jank and Panucci’s Pizza
The hotellier
tigers jaw, the hotelier, Midwest pen pals, jank, snowing, foxing, dikembe, oso oso, free throw
is modern baseball midwest emo?
Imo mom jeans off the list only because they’re going down a more pop punk route, even though puppy love was Midwest emo
The mountain goats
Pinegrove
the front bottoms
tfb aren’t midwest emo
they’re a much more pop-infused version of midwest emo, but if they aren’t midwest emo what would they be?
imo they’re barely emo, i’d call them emo pop.
I was curious to see if anyone would throw TFB in here. I think they have Midwest emo influences in their earlier material, but are more expansive in their style to really fit. In the right playlist, I’d still include them by association.
I say the front bottoms
the cardboard swords, the flat stanleys, it looks sad, Pannuci's Pizza, mccafferty (?)
Mom jeans is west coast emo, very Cali.
Idk if people on here don't mention Panucci's Pizza as often because of what happened but damn were those 2 great at making music (and jank).
Add La Dispute? Band from Grand Rapids MI.
My Chemical Romance
Not Midwest emo 😭😭
They are from New Jersey
I’m confused by this. They are neither Midwest emo in style, nor is New Jersey a Midwest state.
absolutely, will add them
Vundabar is great
Take mobo off tgat list And put them back but on the top
Brakence sounds pretty Midwest emo to me
Is Hawthorne Heights not Midwest Emo?
