I’m not emo

I’ve been on this sub for a few days and honestly it’s wild just how unaware I was about what actual emo is. I mean I’ve been into Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker, American Football, & Brand New for a little while now, but I had considered myself an “elder emo” for years because of the bands that I started listening to in 04/05, which I’ve learned are actually either post-hardcore or emo-pop lol (MCR, The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Alesana, Hawthorne Heights, among others). I’m really grateful for this sub because real emo is actually awesome. Since I’ve been on the sub, I’ve been getting into bands like Jejune, Sweet Pill, Cursive, and Tigers Jaw, and I don’t know if I would have found them otherwise, so. Thank you. 🖤

Edit: clarified what I was listening to before getting into actual emo bands
