Midwest emo be like: the best instrumental you’ve ever heard followed by someone who’s literally never sung a song in their life

[caseydilla]

i like how no matter which midwest emo band you like most, you always get excited to hear the never meant opening

This video should be re-titled: "If you're not interested in de-tuning your guitar to a dozen different tunings, move along"

[iralsmith]

_he's the last of a dying breed. the prehistoric emo only emerges from the depths of his studio apartment when his favorite bands reunite for one last show- and even then, he shows no sign of enthusiasm whatsoever._

God that pallet town riff is everything

[JuanitoR]

Midwest emo is one of the few genres my wife and I can agree on to play in the car together. Good stuff.

[OneLineDerek]

This video single handedly opened up a new genre of music to me, and I will forever be grateful for that.

So Midwest Emo is like a chilled out version of Math Rock

[jackoo]

as someone super unfamiliar with this music it reminds me of Irish music a lot with all the trills and hammer ons. but just with jazzier chords. its really cool

[spracketskooch]

Ahhh, the sounds of my adolescence. I've spent countless hours reading while listening to these bands. Now when I hear that riff from 'Never Meant' in particular, it floods me with all the otherworldly joy and awe I experienced while reading all those stories. If you've ever done mushrooms, it's like that; the feeling you get during the peak.

[kadekchandra]

Pallet town just gave me a memory of a place I've never been.

[PointerMusician]

What's awesome is that you didn't just take snippets of these songs and put them into like a compilation. You learned them and played them perfectly just to put them in a top 10 list and that's effort, my guy.

[zp]

I live and breathe by that Pallet Town riff, jesus christ finding Free Throw changed my life lmao

[Vanillamangaro]

This video taught me something about myself. I live in the Midwest and use to be in a band that wrote riffs similar to these. Grew up loving emo tunes but never knew of the genre Midwest Emo. We never knew how to classify our sound but I think that wouldve worked nicely

[havilinhargraves]

Why is everything so sad in the mid west

[slamjam]

Movies like juno sucked me into the genre bro

[Antomoxetine]

So this is where all the emo rappers get their riffs aha i've found the secret
