That riff in Parking Lot always makes me melt into a void of liquid emo ice cream

[_Tyler-G]

Even though it’s probably their most famous song, still should have picked The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows by brand new. So fun to play and captures all the moods before the breakdowns

[oscar]

You could not have picked two more perfect songs for the 90s emo section man

[lucasvimes]

great to see some love for "mom jeans" "spanish love songs. " two of my favourite new discovery

[Moon-pcqx]

this is such an awesome way to see the evolution of the genre, how its stayed the same and how its changed.

[arthuroliveira]

Like you said, unfortunately a lot a songs didn't make it to the video, but an honorable mention is Action and Action by Get Up Kids.
Simple but really really catchy.

How do you achieve such a great bass tone? It sounds amazing! Ive seen you use the axe fx. Is it all axe fx with built in cabinets or do you have some third party stuff?

@SugarpillCovers What song is at 1:16? Is it still Jimmy Eat The World?

[MohdHisyamAbdRazak]

Oh no. This Addiction was my favourite Alkaline Trio riff. Only to find now that Dag Nasty did that first.

[BushidoMusicOfficial]

The first one kind of sounds like iron maiden if you harmonize and add gallops

[flyingpiggie]

“Donner”? Legit never heard of this brand before

[auliafebby]

2008s-2010s emo isn't Asking Alexandria, blessthefall, Escape the Fate???

[zeromath]
