That first Rites of Spring record still slaps a million times harder than anything that came after it, idk how you can dislike it Finn
Edit: ooof, you like Dashboard and Mall Punk, I'm not surprised at all but still disappointed
2nd edit: props for liking Racetraitor though
Finn, You gotta see the "Could you be loved" X "freak on a leash" Nu Reggae mash up... ill post the link below since links usually get spam filtered.

It's weird because 2000 emo music is always so nostalgic for me, but also I don't really miss being a depressed teenager. I wouldn't go back đ
I would. As a depressed teen, I had more hope than I do as a depressed adult. I'd like that hope back please. Lol
So you are saying you just threw all of the music you listened to in your teens away?
â@@Blinkptx felt this. Always had this glimmer of, "maybe things will get better when I'm older". Now that I'm older, objectively things are worse
@@lazcoroner1483 no I still listen to my old music. I'm just saying I'm much more stable mentally now, and somehow still feel nostalgic when listening to my old music.
â@@DrDipsh1t Yessir. All we can do is keep going and keep singing badly to these songs. Lol Got Pierce The Veil on right now. Best of luck to you.
Fun fact about the Hawthorne Heights mic: the reason why it was hung upside down like that wasn't intentional. They simply forgot to bring a mic stand and had to improvise.
I think it actually works way better with the setting, like random shit just hanging off the ceiling of an old abandoned building
The Used is one of my favorite bands of all time. Their self titled album is perfection and their newer stuff is underrated. Not as good as the first album, but still fun to listen to.
You mean âSharp Objectsâ one of the greatest songs of this genre
They were mine too, but replacing Quinn Allman without telling him really soured my taste for them. It also doesn't help that Joey Bradford isn't a very interesting guitarist.
I LOVE Promise Ring, Texas Is The Reason, Sunny Day Real Estate, and The Get Up Kids.
The best of the best from the 90s second wave
You have no idea how often that exact scenario you described in the beginning plays out. I have no groceries at home because Iâm always having to drop them and run away
Shoutout to Silverstein, underrated kings of mall screamo 2.0
The Used debut album changed the game. Probably the most important album of that era
best album ever by the best band ever
You should have mention Get Up Kids being the first catalyst of emo mixed with pop punk before the mainstream rise.
I was really into Jawbreaker's album Dear You, super good 90's emo
9:40
This type of slowly explaining to people they can't have everything they want is what it's gonna be like raising a child. I'm glad Finn is getting his reps in.
Bert McCraken Artwork Era was my entire hair esthetic throughout highschool. Im still there from time to time
Having If I Die First amongst those legends on the screencap is BOLD and I'm HERE FOR IT
I mean for me Iâll always have a soft spot in my heart for the âmall screamo 2.0â I love that era and still listen to it to this day
My first Era of emo was the late 90s Vagrant/Doghouse era- The Get Up Kids, Saves the Day, Dashboard Confessional, and the like. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Also, Dag Nasty is my absolute favorite of the early hardcore bands, and would second Finn's recommendation of them. And finally- I don't think anyone else considers Fugazi to be emo, they just had Ian and Guy from those other DC emo bands. You should all be listening to Fugazi.
I donât get how he says Pg 99 and Orchid was unlistenable?? That shit sounded way more sick than anything else that came later
I million percent agree about The Used. Love that you always give them their deserved flowers.
great video. love that you included the emo rap at the end
Still can't stop listening to The Used (first album only), Silverstein, All-American Rejects, and ESPECIALLY Motion City Soundtrack all these years later
Second album has some great bits
Came here for the Dag Nasty and Dashboard Confessional talkâŠ.tapped out at the auto-tuned Emo Rap discussion.
as a gen z my favorite early 2000s emo band is definitely silverstein, specifically discovering the waterfront album. New stuff wise juice for sure.
I feel like Saves The Day is a band that should have been bigger. Those first three albums were so good, and I thought they would catch on after Stay What You are had some small mainstream success. Just never happened. Still great!
Thrice and Funeral For A Friend were the two of the best 2000âs bands. Iâm assuming they werenât âemo?â Post hardcore maybe? I donât know all of the correct genre names.
Post hardcore definitely
With all due respect. This is not a real emo starter pack. These albums are : Further Seems Forever - The moon is down / The Early November - The acoustic EP / Saves the day - Through being cool / The Get Up Kids - Something to write home about / Dashboard Confessional - The place you have to come to fear the most, So impossible EP, Swiss Army Romance, (Not Vindicated) / Thursday - Full Collapse / Brand New - Your Favorite Weapon / The Anniversary - Designing a Nervous Breakdown / Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue / Thrice - The artist in the ambulance / Taking Back Sunday - Tell all your friends / Something Corporate - Leaving Through the Window /The Rocket Summer - Calendar Days / The Starting Line - Say It Like You Mean It / City and Colour - Sometimes. If you have more question. I'm here.
Love your content, man!
Probably my favourite emo band from the early-to-mid 2000's-era is Trust Company. Their album "Lonely Position of Neutral" oozes that vibe of hanging out behind a brick-and-mortar shopping plaza in a small suburban American town.
Numetal
Wait a minute. Trust company is emo? Really? đ€š
How are you so good at what you do? Finn. Iâm a huge fan. Youâre 2023 content if GOLD
Itâs a fact, if you donât have Understanding In A Car Crash by Thursday blow up in 2001, you donât have most of the 2003-2007 era bands. MCR specifically have said that Thursday made them want to be in a band.
*_Brand Newâs âDeja Entenduâ is the pinnacle of 2000âs emo._*
Brand New đŹ
I agree but letâs change the album to Devil and god are raging inside me
Iâd say Devil and God is their best but Deja is still a 10/10 album
Ya know whatâs weird? I didnât listen to emo music, like basically at all. But I know all the songs, and theyâre still a bit nostalgic, just cuz everyone I knew was into it and played it
I love grunge-laced emo from the early 2010âs. Citizen, Title Fight, etc
The best emo record ever is Leatherface's mush(dc inspired emo rites of spring/dag nasty/embrace etc by guys who could actually play) its so good Hot water music have made a career trying to re record something even a quarter as good.
The dashboard dynamic is interesting bc I was born in 99 and grew up in the massive third wave of emo. I listened to a lot of the pop punk and emo bands of that Era and got into the post hardcore stuff as I hit late elementary/middle school. But I probably heard about dashboard for the first time in high school, despite their setting the stage for a lot of what I grew up with.
I'm from Milwaukee, Promise Ring was the first emo band and it was great to help Dan break down his drums. Their demo was a bespoke valentine mixtape in a manila envelope. Ground breaking.. Great times! :)
Promise Ring is the first Midwest emo band. There was plenty of emo before them.
Also in Dag Nasty: Dave Smalley (DYS, ALL, Down By Law)
45 yrs young.. I've been Emo before Emo was Emo.. lol.. I cant stand it how "Emo's" are all painted with the same broad brush.. Not every one that loves and listens to Emo music is Sad or dark, depressed, cuts themselves, lol.. or whatever other ridiculous stereotype is out there.. I'll always be Punk/Emo and its fine if I'm now a "Old Head" "Dinosaur Emo" lol
58?years young⊠Mineralâs The Power of Failing is the best Emo album of all time. Parking Lot is the best song of all time in the genre
Discovered an early 2000âs screamo band called Usurp Synapse the other day and theyâre absolutely incredible. Listen to their discography compilation.
I saw them play on the floor of a church in 1999!
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA what was it like they seem insane
They fell down on the floor and screamed a lot. Nice guys.
touche amore and la dispute are amazing!
All these nerds wanting you to mention Sunny Day Real Estate, and I'm just over here rejoicing in the pageninetynine representation đđđ
First and forever is a very good example of bringing back mall screamo 2.0
It was taking back Sunday for me. After I heard them when I was 13 it was all black tees and tight jeans
Further Seems Forever's first album the Moon is Down is my favorite emo album of all time. The other albums were good, but it wasn't the same once Chris left to go full time Dashboard.
The Promise Ring's Davey and Dan started Maritie after TPR broke up and they were fantastic! :)
I can't believe you mentioned racetraitor đđ
Also that bit about girl jeans being your (possible) cannibalism in vietnam was hilarious!
Awesome video!
I always comsidered emo to be bands like funeral for a friend (early stuff), silverstein, senses fail, boys night out.
Early 2000's music scene was great, aside from the fashion of skinny jeans, eyeliner & long fringes. Back when people didnt know (or care) what bands where punk, emo, post hardcore, screamo or metalcore. The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, Emery, From First To Last, Hawthorne Hieghts, Funeral For a Friend, Mest, The Spill Canvas, Thursday, Rise Against, Dashboard Confessional, The Starting Line, Senses Fail, Coheed & Cambria, Saosin, Escape the Fate, Story of the Year, Thursday - I'll still go back to those bands every now and then if im on a nostalgia trip.
Iâm going through these comments and am baffled that no one has mentioned Bayside?!? Lyrically they are I feel one of the most emo bands out there. The way Anthony pours his soul when heâs singing is emo afâŠ
Calling the jeans crisis of the 2000s equal to the Cambodian Donner Party is fair.
It's really only the true comparison đ
Good thing the Khmer left them with plenty of stock.
Finn, I felt so attacked by the outro đ
Pg 99 is a band from Sterling, VA, DC suburbs.
I don't think people were asking you to name every band so much as suggesting that Sunny Day is more influential and relevant than Page99 which like, yeah I'd agree lol
I donât understand why most people like the poppy trash emo more than the actual depressive shit. When Iâm feeling down I wanna listen to someone screaming viscerally, and mallcore just makes me think of a kid who gets made fun of for shopping at hot topic. Itâs apples and oranges.
@scottoleson1997 Yeah but not to sound 1000 years old, but there's plenty of "mallcore" stuff like that but I can actually understand what they're saying? And the production quality doesn't make my ears bleed? I don't get why oldheads think shitty production= more "real" or better somehow đ€·ââïž
â@@antikingthe MCR first two albums before Black Parade were real emo.
Went to a club a year ago in ft worth with wife and friends we were all hammered and everyone in the club went nucking futs when "sugar were going down" came on. So your right on point with that statement Finn
First albums of Fallout Boy were more Hardcore Pop than other bands
â@@ltrskltrmore pop-punk/post-hardcore.
Finn: Holding the mic like this = emo
Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine = emo
The part about "passing out from eating too much ass" had me literally lmao đ€Ł
I fucken love rites of spring. Itâs rough but who cares itâs got that vibe and those emotions and feels man
How could you forget Silverstein! Smile in Your Sleep is like an Emo Anthem!
He didn't forget, he just couldn't mention every single one. BMTH was way bigger than Silverstein back in the day and he didn't mention them either. And by the way, My Heroine was way more popular among emos.
The breakdown still pops into my mind from time to time
I just figured if he mentioned Hawthorne Heights, he would mention Silverstein.
@@IncDrop My Heroine might be more popular but Smashed Into Pieces is their best single
Post Hardcore not Emo
I loved Orchid and Pg. 99 and all those chaotic screamo bands. But I do get that they're not accessible at all
Don't forget reversal of man, there was that thursday/converge side project that tried sounding like those band united nations.
@@lewisb85 I forgot completely about United Nations, great band indeed
Donât forget Papa Roach.
11:04 what about the get up kids something to write home about released in 1999
I'll always remember this specific event. This one guy I knew growing up was a "prep" as we called them, and thought literally anything that had a heavy guitar or angry vocals was "Emo". Three Days Grace? Emo. Job for a Cowboy? Emo. Pantera? Emo.
Turns out one day he listened to a Fall Out Boy song and liked it. When I told him "That's what emo actually is" he refused to believe it.
Got to love those starter kits lol. đ
Ohio is for Lovers is the song that hits me with nostalgia more than any other song from 2005.
i wasn't huge into emo, but i thought taking back sunday "tell all your friends" was a great album and still holds up
The guys at work won't stop playing hands down by dashboard confessional. They're in their 40s and 50s lol.
As a teenager, Iâm just saying this is what my main emo outfit would be turtleneck jacket, which, of course is black black Converse black and just the tiny bit of gray sweatpants any black band shirt, a black gator and black fingerless gloves
Alesana was a pretty great band back in mall screamo 1.0
Thrice
Finch
Story Of The Year
The Used
TBS
Vendetta Red
Is the band âI set my friends on fireâ from the wave era of emo? I seem to be the only person I know who remembers the band
yeah id say they are
What would you recommend an old school Metalhead who grew up on 80s Heavy Metal & Thrash Metal and who wants to carefully broaden his musical horizon?
My emo band line up growing up was
AFI
New Found Glory
Midtown
Jimmy eat world
Yellowcard
And that one hawthorne heights song đ that song is a banger!
It's not a phase, Finn!
Touche amore did a song with Manchester orchestra and It sounds amazing
You can't talk about Dashboard and Chris without mentioning Further Seems Forever.
This is my favorite genre and its Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional
I am convinced Finn is unaware of the album Your Favorite Weapon by Brand New.
Nah, I just donât jerk off to the same entry level albums as everybody else
The Used self-titled album was the best. How could you skip that? I Caught Fire?? Really?!?
Box Full Of Sharp Objects, The Taste Of Ink, Poetic Tragedy?
The whole album is impeccable. 2002. Freakinâ 21 years ago. The best Emo/Screamo album ever.
Thereâs no I in Team by Taking Back Sunday is also in this grouping
And also Cute without the e
When the chorus of Sugar We're Goin' Down hits I could kick a door off it's hinges in pure euphoria đđ
I think of Inch, Race the Sun, Hey Mercedes...
Another sick fkn video, underoath is also a sick and important band in the genre
Start with proto emo-core: Mission of Burma
Ood just thinking of this band.
@@chernobylcoleslaw6698 đ
I am not ashamed to say that I still love emo.
I have been listening to L.S. Dunes...an "emo" supergroup
MCR WASNT MENTIONED ONCE!!! IM TRIGGERED
I've heard emo is a really nice guy !
I've been waiting for this to come out. Thank you for this
To be honest when I get someone into emo, I don't actually start with the og or any of the bands from the past. What I've been normally doing is showing what the current state of emo is so usually I show people like bands like If I Die First, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Static Dress, Wristmeetrazor and etc. because I tend to notice that when I showed someone a band from like the 2000s they would normally just stick with that and not check out anything new,. So when I show them something like If Die First then they would go back check the bands that influenced them and so on.
Also the first time I heard If I Die First was in one of your videos and it was only for a few seconds but I made sure to remember the name and the members and ever since then I have loved the band and SYSC ever since. Like those are literally my favorite bands right now, so thank you Finn. You technically made a difference in my life by showing your audience those bands and just any new artists.
Dude you just broke the 11th commandment. Thou shalt never speak ill of Fugazi or ye shall find themselves forced to live in DC.
I remember when the tide turned in the Hong Kong band scene⊠it went from grunge and some metal to emo over night. We always were the late comers to the party, but all of a sudden it was uncool to listen ti grunge, and you had to have girl jeans, tiny t-shirts that revealed your belly button and deltoids (or lack there of), and you had to have sideways swooshed hair. I never really got into it, I went on with stormer rock and metal, but emo became huge in HK in the late 90s, especially in the born again Christian community. I swear, it seemed like all the emo bands were Christians, singing about Christianity⊠yeah, Christian emo was a thing in HK.
Girl jeansâŠ..damn, yup. Most of my pants were of that variety.
I have almost the exact opposite opinion as you on this subject. I'm hoping kids into mall emo and emo rap eventually get into Rites of Spring and Fugazi and become punishers in your comments section. đ
They will, unfortunately
The ultimate post hardcore starter kit please
What was that screamo band from tampa florida that was basically like a grindcore band? Reversal of man?
Yes
Yeah agreed I too listen to Dying Fetus
Emo literally got popular when my long time HS gf left in 04 7 years I was 24 haha man Did that shit get blasted in the car a lot while possibly a little buzzed
Well I was gonna watch a Malcolm X doc but I suppose I can finish this first
My boy skipped over emo revival/2010s Midwest emo entirely
Damn no mom jeans, Joyce manor, title fight, or modern baseball
I think real emo is way better bc of how hard hitting it is, mall emo is fun too but I love all emo
i was super into the wave and still love all that stuff, so i ask, whereâs my topical ointment for my butt hurt
Rites Of Spring is ALL you need ;)
I work at a venue that booked Hawthorne Heights in 2018. There were 18 people that bought tickets watching their set mainly waiting for Ohio Is For Lovers. Kinda sad
I think I was one of the 18, lol
The war of skinny jeans lol đ
