What got you into Emo?
Hey so I’m new to this subreddit so forgive me if I don’t know the rules but I’m just curious about what or how you guys became emo and/or listen to the music. What got me into it was because I grew up in a verbally abusive and conservative household and while I listened to a wide variety of music (still do) I discovered emo music through YouTube with the likes of MCR and taking back Sunday but also bands like Orchid, pg 99, sunny day real estate etc. and I also became emo around the same time too (I was 12 or 13). Not only this was an outlet for me to be more open with my emotions and feelings, but also I viewed it as a better alternative compared to the more macho attitudes of the hardcore scene (no shade to those bands but you get what I’m saying). Anyways, there’s more to this but this is getting way too long so please tell me what got you guys into the music/community.
