Why Midwest Emo Will Always Have a Place in My Heart

first of all, there is no denying how strong music is. especially a song that was about communicating the honest emotions that we all experience but occasionally find it difficult to express it. this was very meaningful to me because music has always been a source of comfort for me.

midwest emo opened doors to other alternative music genres. i fell into a whole world of music as I started to investigate the artists that impacted my favorite midwest emo bands. there was so much music out there that i would have never discovered if i hadn’t started listening to midwest emo, from post-rock to indie pop to punk. and as i continue to listen to new music today, I notice that a lot of the music i enjoy still bears the influence of the genre.

midwest emo will always have a special place in my heart. the reasons for this include the music, the community, and the way it paved the way for new types of alternative music. to my friend zandrx, thanks for introducing midwest emo to me, i love you man. midwest emo will always retain a special place in my musical journey, even as I explore new genres and musicians.

what to do?

have you ever experienced a losing streak at love? it sucks right? it leaves us feeling lost, alone, and overwhelmed. it’s just that everything sucks, knowing that your love is not being reciprocated. that we may start feeling the fear of vulnerability and the inability to express our feelings for fear of being hurt in a potential relationship.

it’s just that feeling where you happen to start having a crush again, but this time you don’t want to take risks again. you might just end up holding back and keeping your true feelings to yourself. and all you can think about is that you long for the other person to make the first move or to tell them outright how they feel about you.

midwest emo music can give our emotions a potent and therapeutic expression. we can find comfort and connection in the music and start to recover from our suffering by listening to the top songs and albums in the midwest emo category.

midwest emo music has something to offer, whether you’re going through a breakup or just looking for a strong and moving soundtrack.

so, here’s a song you must listen to if you happen to be at your “oh sh*t here we go again” phase :>

why is midwest emo subtle?

Welcome to the 2nd chapter of my blog, today we’re gonna talk about why midwest emo is subtle.

Because of its contemplative and poetic lyrics as well as its rich and complicated orchestration, Midwest emo is sometimes described as being subtle. Midwest emo typically uses metaphor, symbolism, and subtle changes in dynamics and tempo to create a mood or convey a feeling rather than depending on overt or explicit expressions of emotion.

One good example of lyrics is ” Reading subtitles cause I can’t hear the show you put on for noise”. Damn so deep right this is a lyric in the song titled How Do You Know It’s Not Armadillo Shells? by Hot Mulligan

When I heard that phrase for the first time in my life around 2012, I was 10 years old at that time. I discovered it through my uncle who was into emo, at first my thoughts about emo songs were boring, and I said to myself that this was not for me. My uncle started playing some emo songs and I was not really enjoying it. But guess what…

As I was growing, I started liking emo little by little. My friend also influenced me into emo, he started recommending bands such as Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, and, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, and Blink-182

MAN, IT WAS LIKE A VIRUS, I DON’T KNOW WHY I AM ENJOYING IT NOW. When I was young I thought that this was not for me. But now I can’t stop listening to them, it’s like I am infected with this genre, I also thought that maybe I should dress like emo, but then I didn’t continue it because I thought people would just tease me. And one thing that I like about emo songs is the emotional urgency in the lyrics of their songs that appeared out of nowhere.
