It's time for some new music, and I've pretty much exhausted google and youtube listening to every piece of music related to 90s emo/screamo/hardcore over the past 5 years. I know that Smogon actually has quite a few members that listen to this kind of stuff so help a brotha out.
For the record, I'm into stuff like Orchid, Pg99, Joshua Fit For Battle, Envy, La Quiete, Kodan Armada, Circle Takes the Square, City of Caterpillar, and Welcome the Plague Year.
I'm not really one of those obnoxious music nazis who will flip out and try to educate you for being 'wrong' but there's a big difference between original emo/screamo and modern emo/screamo, which I will provide examples of:
Examples of what I like:
(Loma Prieta: "Armor")
(Envy: "Color of Fetters")
(Sailboats: "Behind Trees")
http://(Raein: Tigersuit)(Raein: Tigersuit)
Examples of stuff that bores me despite being legit Screamo:
(The Saddest Landscape: "The 6th Golden Ticket")
(Anomie: "?" Sorry, no name or album version.)
Examples of no thanks:
I set my friends on fire
Alesana
A skylit drive
I'll start it off by recommending some Loma Prieta. Last City is one of my favorite albums. There are very few 'perfect albums' which I enjoy the entire way through without ever skipping a song in preference for another, but this is one of them. Granted, it's relatively short, but still. My two top favorite songs are (Worn Path) and (Armor).
Loma Prieta definitely has that "Oh my fucking god." + Goosebumps on your dick factor. Easily one of the best (and surprisingly, relatively unknown) Screamo bands ever.
