Good Charlotte! I guess you could say they were emo? The whole late 90s-mid-2000's "alternative" scene was just this one big mishmashed conglomeration. But from a certain point of view you could say plenty of other bands had the "emo" leanings if it wasn't outright. Emo was shorthand for "emotional" and there's plenty of emotion present in groups you wouldn't otherwsie lump in with the genre, you know?

Yes. Very good point. The song in particular was “hold on” but i guess it didnt show up x_x but yeah, “emo” to me is music that more or less coincides with mental illness. Like songs that are sad / depressing but make me feel better through relatability. For example, i know breaking benjamin is more “hard rock” but “drar agony” is an emo song for me. Thats just my own personal opinion of course.

Sleeping with sirens! I fell in love with the sound as soon as I heard it, Kick Me was the song. I was just browsing through Youtube, found a video on the emo subculture and looked up the music, I decided right in that moment that I wanted to be part of it

Pretty much a whole bunch of bands on Drive-Thru Records. Haha. I was really into Pop Punk at first like New Found Glory, Fenix TX, Blink-182, The Ataris, Yellowcard, Sum 41, etc.

For Goth friends I have, there's actually overlap for this song in Emo and Goth but "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence (ft Paul McCoy) - it was my first real exposure into music I liked that wasn't shown to me by my parents so despite being a meme now, it holds a place in my heart.

Oh, that song deffs works as a goth song as well. Great intro to a new world of music. I used to be obsessed with “my immortal” by them.

I quite fondly remember that day lmao. I was playing GTA Chinatown Wars back when I have an iPod touch. Technically it isn't 100% mine since both me and my brother tend to share it quite a lot back in the day lol. It was also around 2012 so I was still in elementary school. Out of curiousity I checked what's on the "iPod" (which later became Apple Music) and found a demo by Falling In Reverse titled "The Departure" and "Listen Up" alongside Eyes Set To Kill's "Darling." And the rest was history pretty much, although you rarely hear these kinds of music in the mainstream nowadays.

I was introduced to emo music by my older sister. She used to play music when we cleaned together. But anyway, one day, she played My Chemical Romance and Paramore; which was different from the usual stuff she played. But to my 8-year-old self, I loved it. So later that day, I went on a massive MCR YouTube search and fell in love with them! So yeah, thanks to my older sister I'm emo now.
