For me - as far as I remember, Ghost of you and Helena by MCR brought me into this emo'esque culture.
Fun fact, when I got my first access to the internet in 2006 (I was 13 back then), my first website that I visited was MCR's official website. My friends told me there was a game based on Helena's MV. It is still exist but kept on different website so give it a tru. Helena 8-bit game

The first song that really got me into that emo stuff was The Light Behind Your Eyes by MCR
I was 13 as a friend introduced the band to me, I dont have any contact with him today but I´m still thankful for showing me
But back when I first got into Nightcore I already listend to Get Scared and Bring me the Horizon

For me, it was "I'm Not A Vampire" by Falling In Reverse. I was 13 years old at the time when I found a lyric video of that song on a lyric video channel that mostly made lyric videos of Avril Lavigne songs (I was a huge Avril fan at the time) and decided to check it out. Best decision I've ever made.

I don't even remember how it happened but I was super into Ghost Town around the age of 10 until I got bullied out of liking them but the one song I remember thinking 'this is emo' to was king for a day :o

"Animal I Have Become" by Three Days Grace. Gods, takes me back to the good old days of 2008 speedpaints with edgy Emo music. Those days were the best.
