Mine was Demolition Lovers by MCR, I researched it for my college course and got hooked almost immediately 

unsurprisingly, it was welcome to the black parade by mcr... XD

I was listening to Enter Shikari / Amatory / Stigmata / Origami starts from 8 years old

"Invader Zim Situations"

I'm Not Okay (I Promise) - My Chem 🖤

Same Logic/Teeth by Brand New was where it all started going downhill for me

teenagers by my chemical romance!!

Honest to god, it was a song in a creepypasta slideshow. "Don't You dare forget the sun" by Get scared XD. I started liking creepypasta in the early 2010s in like 3rd grade. It introduced me to a whole new type of music I had never heard before. Music that was really popular in the fandom at the time was stuff like Get Scared and Set It Off, which led to me getting into bands like My Chemical Romance, Falling In Reverse, Pierce The Veil, Fly Leaf, Meg, and Dia... and other popular pop-punk emo-esc bands, which then led to me getting into og emo bands from the '90s. I think at the time, emo and emo aesthetics were extremely popular and influential on the internet, especially in niche spaces and fandoms like Creepypasta, the amount of videos you can find on youtube of just pictures of Ticci Toby being played to Get Scared is insane.

deffinetly my chem. my birthname is helena so ofcourse when i was 8 i searched up my name and oh looky here a song with my name as the title!! even watching the making of the mv is so heartwarming because just hearing people actually say it right makes me so happy :3

Ive always been listening to alt music cause of my mum, but defo mama by my chemical romance :)

 eu sei que My Chemical Romance não é exatamente uma banda emo, mas a primeira música que ouvi antes de me tornar definitivamente emo e começar a me aprofundar no sub foi Teens 

I've been into emorap since i was about like nine or eight, but it was a cover of i'm low on gas and you need a jacket by pierce the veil that really got me into emo music

ive literally listened to emo music my whole life so i have no idea.. maybe tear in my heart by top, even tho i dont even listen to them as a band LOL

That's embarassing... it was because of that tiktok sound 'she's Minee' that got me into pierce the veil so the first song was a match into water -.-

teenagers by mcr beause it was a tik tok trend arround 2022, it was almost a pipe line thing, i started as "i just like some of this band's songs, but im not a emo" to be full on "rawr xD" thing (im still on the thing)

either the murderer by alesana or 

note to self by from first 2 last x__o

helena by mcr. that song just has such a vibe to it and i still love it to this day :)

if you cant hang by sleeping with sirens

interestingly enough, i grew up on "dad rock" and punk rock which kinda got me into emo. the very first emo song i heard and fell IN LOVE with was caraphernelia by ptv.

4 me the song that I heard was Dance Dance by FoB and then I later discovered My Chemical Romance

it's not technically "emo" but fallen angels by bvb and boulevard of broken dreams by green day! my first intro to punk/alt music!

embarrassingly "the final episode (let's change the channel)" by asking alexandria around 2013 HAHAHA,,, but w AA as a gateway i nvr got past surface level "emo"

but what really got me into emo so a proper gateway was hopesfall with "the bending"

tbh idrk, i listened to almost exclusively nu metal back when i was rockin the emo look in 2006 and 2007, i didn't really get into the pop, punk, and alt rock emo stuff until later. but i will say that Tokio Hotel was probably my true introduction, and for some reason i latched onto them. "Don't Jump" is the first song i heard by them

Demolition Lovers by MCR

The Whole Black Parade Album

Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend.

I know it's not very emo BUT I've played PS2 games my since I was but a wee child, like the Need For Speeds and Burnouts (where I first got exposed to that song), alongside my older sister's musical influence. The elder emo of the family lol

After getting hooked to this music in my teen years, I had a musical awakening - I then moved onto Paramore and explored emo as a whole from then onwards.

bring me to life by evanescence. i remember my mum was so exited to hear me listening to that song loll

I had this playlist on YouTube I found that I played all the time. Unfortunately I think it got deleted. These were my favorites from it though: You’re gonna go far kid by the offspring, thank you for the venom by mcr, Mr. Brighside by the killers, sarcasm by get scared.

Bring me to life by evanescence

It started with slipknot and that whole 2020 alt thingy. Seeing the people on Rebzyyzs covers really inspired me :)

helena by my chemical romance and hold on till may by pierce the veil

"I'm not okay" by MCR started playing on my local rock station and I was SO intrigued so when I got home I used the family computer to google the lyrics and found the song and got VERY into the band and found others like it and just never went back 

IMMORTALZ BY FOB !!

Listened to MCR as a joke,,,, and actually started loving it

Not sure which song though, I’ll check later

"The Ghost Of You" - My Chem and "Pain" by Three Days Grace. :) 

cynical skin by get scared

i liked a few other "emo" songs, but the songs that made me look more into the genre and discover more music were ohio is for lovers by hawthorn heights, reverse this curse by escape the fate and the taste of ink by the used! :D

probably monster by skillet and that one sonic unleashed amv xD 

for me it was cancer lol xD then I fell into a deep rabbithole abt mcr :p

The band that first got me into emo was Atreyu with their album 'A Deathgrip on Yesterday'. However, the song that introduced me to them was 'This Flesh a Tomb' (off of 'The Curse').

It may be a bit more goffic, but it also gave me rawrz sads D:

So it didn't take much for me to fall in love with so many of the good emo songz 

i remember somehow coming along "thank you for the venom" by mcr, and literally was obsessed with it. then came the whole album, and the next... and next.. and then started to branch out to other bands. 

if you cant hang by sleeping with sirens. i was OBSSESED with that song i remember re-watching the music video and learning all the lyrics

I've actually been listening to this music since I was very young since my dad is a faithful follower of this music but he was never emo, he was a punk and metalhead but I could say that the songs that made me Research on the Fuero genre I don't love you and solo a terceros 

im not okay by mcr!!! and thank you for the venm lolz

sarcasm by get scared x3

Sugar by system of a down was the first song that got me into rock, the first "Emo" song I listened to was Dear Maria, Count Me In 

King for a day by pTV :3

Rebel love song by black veil brides 

It was probably Blue and Yellow by The Used. :D

knives and pens bvb was my very first song i ever got into then fir & sws
