Nate doesn’t know much about the musical style known as emo. Sadly, he was too busy nerding out on jazz during his youthful years to catch the moment. That’s a shame, because emo is experiencing a revival right now - most surprisingly within the world of hip hop. All of which leaves Nate in the awkward position of not really having any idea what’s going on, so thank goodness for some schooling by Vox culture reporter Allegra Frank, who spent her teenage years the right way: getting emotional to the soundtrack of emo. Her first lesson about this endlessly fascinating subculture? It’s way more than just a sound.

I agree that Emo music is more than just the music. The connotations behind the word "emo" is not just the music, but the unusully dark colored clothing and and dark hair. It has connotations of sadness, and can be often seen in NA.

In modern society I think we often accociate Emo genre with negative or depressing connotation. The pod cast made me realize that there is so much more to Emo than I thought.

I find it interesting how marginalized styles of music often find their way past the barriers of mainstream criticism and thrive in their own spheres of popular influence. Like classical music, which is often stereotyped by the generalized audience, the marginalized audience often finds solace and satisfaction in their isolation.

It is interesting that Emo music is defined as an identity and a representation of a community.

I feel like every defining piece of music has emotions driving the lyrics and the beat. Emotional music like emo has the ability to relate and conect to people anywhere and goes much deeper than a simple style.

I agree that Emo music is more than just a sound, in general, people who listen to emo music reflect it on the outside as well. It comes with the hair, the makeup, and outfits. There are very few people whos listen to music by MCR and other artists as such who do not reflect the emo look. This is not a bad thing, it is just a common thing among those who do listen to emo music and they could be referred to as emo as well.

I don't think emo is a good genre of music. I don't think there's enough musical substance/diversity, as this type of music focuses too much on dark themes that become repetitive really fast.

I think it's really interesting that "emo" music is portrayed as depressing and negative. It's a lot more than that and it was extremely interesting to learn about.

I think it is interesting that this type of music receives a negative rap however it influences and empowers many people.

Although the emo genre as a whole can be scrutinized by many people at times due to its different style, I believe that its importance cannot be overlooked as it speaks deeply to and resonates with countless others.

It is so interesting to me how music styles go through different cycles like emo makeing a comeback right now.

Oftenly, music, trends, clothing, and other forms of expression can be directly correlated. It is interesting how this form of art created an entire culture, centered around dark themes and clothing.
