What was the first band or song you’ve listened to that got you into the genre? The first band that I ever really fell in love with was Pierce The Veil which then led me to discover other bands.

Edit: another band that kind of got me into the genre was Evane

I first discovered emo music while watching some random old YouTube video—a Q&A with a group of teen boys. One of them mentioned that his favorite band was Sleeping With Sirens. I thought the name sounded really cool and it sparked this vivid image in my head, so I looked them up on Spotify. The first song I played was If You Can’t Hang. After that, I completely fell down the emo rabbit hole—Warpped Tour bands, those super cursed (but iconic) BryanStars interviews… it’s definitely a core memory for most emo kids, I’m sure.


From there, I got really into screamo and heavier stuff too. It’s kind of funny—before I found emo music, I didn’t really have my own music taste. I just listened to whatever my parents had on. So in a way, discovering emo was also the first time I ever really connected with music that I found on my own.

GhouliaGory Me too! Before I knew about emo music, I only really knew about some songs and artists that I had learned about through games, shows, or other things that I enjoyed. It was only when I discovered emo music when I realized that I really loved music. Of course I’ll still listen to other genres but it’s never the same as listening to post-hardcore, screamo, metalcore, and a ton of different waves of emo music.

Sleeping With Sirens was also one of the first bands that sparked my taste in emo music. I never really considered myself to be a fan of them but I have listened to some of their albums and they were pretty good!

Mine was also Pierce the Veil! Along with falling in reverse. I don't remember if I heard them on tiktok first but my friend is what truly got me into the genre :3
