Many
people view emo as pantomime punk; music without any real degree of
resonance to it and, of course, we have Messrs Way and Wentz to thank
for that. For some though, emo wasn't
(or indeed, isn't)
more than just a fringe and a Myspace profile, it's
something far more ingrained and far-reaching than that. And while
the glory days of the 1990s are over, with pioneers such as Texas Is
The Reason finally drawing the curtains on 20 years of touring and
emotional turmoil, the torch has been passed on; where record labels
such as Jade Tree or Drive-Thru once dominated the scene, it's time
for smaller, more nuanced labels and artists to wear their emotional
scars with pride and make their own mark on a genre might have lay
dormant, but was certainly never dead.
