No Pg.99 love up in here?
Imo this is "emo"; music that inspires emotion, lyrics that provoke emotion, and live they played with every ounce of emotion they could muster and then some. still to this day the most intense shows I've ever been too.

none of these bands are emo. these are all third generation emo at best, and post hardcore/shit at worst.
Fine. Rites of Spring sucks too, and no one would like them if it weren't for the Fugazi/Dischord connection.
quick thought:
98% of the bands in this thread sound (to my ears, obvs) like the throwaway Victory bands that weren't super-bro hardcore.
Aping other musos but using the clean channel instead hardly constitutes a revival.

i love Bob, i just wish he would stop crooning all the time. I'm kind of interested in hearing his New(est?) band, Lifted Bells. It has members of Their / They're / There, Stay Ahead Of The Weather, etc. could be good.
I dig Pg. 99 and City Of Caterpillar (and their various bands) and the more chaotic side of the genre.

Pg.99 is more screamo or "skramz" if you will.

I like that first track. Got some Minutemen in thurr. And some Huskers.
Also, where's the Saetia dickriding? Are they still the gold standard for this kind of stuff?

Touche. They are given credit on wikipedia as one of the founders of screamo.

Urban Dictionary wrote:1. skram
Skram is a corruption of the word screamo, first coined in 2004 by Alex Bigman, a.k.a. thebigmin, on the messageboard Cross My Heart With A Knife as a joke. Over time, people took it somewhat seriously, and has now come to be used as a less-commercially co-optable term for screamo, since that word has been bastardized into oblivion, used to describe any shitty whine-fest bands on MTV and the Warped Tour that incorporate maybe 30 seconds of screaming per song.
Typically, true skram records are pressed only on vinyl, with handmade covers, and in quantities of far less than 1,000.
Previous and less successful attempts to create a term that the mainstream media and major record companies would deem "too stupid" to steal and repackage included kittencore, and the more appropriate, kitten violence.
Superlatives:
-ultimate skram : literal meaning
-epic skram : skram that usually contains abrupt and extreme tempo and volume/distortion changes, nontraditional rock instrumentation (cellos, violins, trumpets, various other orchestral instruments), and other effects to heighten the "epic" feel of the song, these songs tend to be longer in length
-1337 skram : more obscure and elitist skram
-OOP skram : used for skram records that have gone out of print, but are still in demand, and hence, command a princely sum on eBay or board.vivalavinyl.org
Variations:
-skramo
-SKR##M)
-teh screamies
-skramz0rz (or further variations, ex: skramzei0rz0ers, the mor...

well, this is an "emo" thread not a "skramz" thread...one should expect plenty of whines and poor me vocals. Screamo/skramz tends to be more visceral and violent in it's instrumentation and vocalization.
Obviously, we're getting into pitchfork esque hipster genre-isms here but whatever

this is why im a genre hater. there are some bands that are widely accepted as in a specific genre, and i think their contemporaries are great but they blow donkey dicks for charity.
i just like some bands and some other bands can drive their van straight into a lake.

I am just getting into a lot of maths emo revival stuff
TWIABP are cool, I really like dads (the guitarist posts on here), algernon cadwalder
I really like snowing too, but they broke up, American football too
Emo for me used to mean my chemical romance and AFI though, I'm okay with genres changing meaning

Modest Mouse is emo?
I'd agree they get into that territory quite a bit, especially on the first album. This song especially hits me in the same spot as Jawbreaker and that's kinda how I classify music. But yeah that's the look I get whenever I express that opinion.
I'm definitely digging the modern revival stuff. I really wish I had discovered Algernon before they broke up. But Dads is awesome as well and touring a bunch. I'm definitely going to try to catch the Portland show this summer.
