Thanks, I've never heard of Celestine Prophecy, I'll check it out. I'm currently reading Walking Among Us and I think it's similar to what you wrote. It falls a lot into what I believe.

Do you have any books or links to recommend that talk about this ?

“Real Emo” only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90’s screamo scene. What is known by “Midwest Emo” is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can’t help not cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness) Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL, and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity, and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz(the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and My Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE RMP are American Football, Chemical Romance and Mineral. EMOBELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT TOCK, OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

When I was listening to this split a lot, I was really into Binary - 'Say Your Prayers No One Cares' and .gif from god's first album. Check them out if you haven't.

think of it as the raw emotional outpour of emo with the speed of PV. Bands like in/humanity, palatka, shikari, end of the century party and forcefedglass are often cited in this context

Je ne m'attendais pas à lire autant de débilités dans les commentaires. Si peu d'éducation.

I started playing bass with DFA, and I've always enjoyed playing 'If We Don't Make It, We'll Fake It.' That ending riff is really fun to play.
