>>60290716
Righteous cycles - hamburgled
>>60290716
there is this one
which is ok
i like your list better though
id add kaospilot - st
and 1905 - voice
switch the SoZ album for a view from hightide
also by heroin you mean the 7" right?
>>60290949
Yeah, the Heroin 7".
That chart is ok, but it's a bit too limited and has too many Orchid records, I wanna do a bigger one and with one album per artist.
>>60291096
you gonna split it into sub-groups based on style/era or anything?
also khayembii communique
>>60291147
Yeah, i'd like to split them up into styles/eras although i'm not sure where to start..
what d'you reckon is the first wave of screamo? I guess it's Heroin and Antioch Arrow.. does the orchid/pg.99/jeromes dream count as first wave or is it second wave?
>>60291172
early 00's is first wave with heroin being a sort of precursor imo
add cerberus shoal - s/t and indian summer somewhere in as well
>>60291209
oh yeah, totally forgot indian summer
and ok, I'll put heroin right at the top as kinda the precursor, and then have that early 00s stuff as first wave
>>60290716
WILLIAM BONNEY
>>60291336
>>60291228
you should add in a twinkle corner
make me - demo
flowers taped to pens - nice to meet you, i hate you
malon - revierie
bells on trike - s/t
and william bonney
also desu i take back that i said to ad cerberus shoal
i think you should add just a few 90s bands that were influences
a more cohesive and focused chart would probably be best
also i realize that this post kinda contridicts itself but i am drunk atm so w/e
probably dont listen to me
>>60291403
Nah, that sounds good to me, if I add three 90s influences other that Heroin what should I put?
I'll make the twinkly corner as well
Touche Amore ?
>>60291403
how do these look for the early 00s stuff? I've taken out a few to make the list a bit more concise
>>60291428
heroin
indian summer
guyver one
im not sure about others
idk if you should add the og emo like RoS, embrace, etc. or go for more direct influences
also add four hundred years - suture and other songs into the main section
i think the "00" stuff really starts in about 97
>>60291472
it looks pretty good imo though id add in SoZ for sure
also i have not listened to the red scare, how are they?
NOUNS
I LIKE DOGS MUCH BETTER
>>60291508
The Red Scare are pretty great, they're most known for their split with Orchid, although that album of theirs is really solid too.
I'll probably put in RoS and Embrace, especially RoS which has some semi-screamy vocals
came to post Tristan Tzara, glad to see them already here, hugely underrated
replace Chaos Is Me with Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow!
ESSENTIAL addition:
>Lord Snow - Solitude
>>60291582
I honestly was tossing up between Chaos Is Me and Revolution Tonight, and I think that Chaos is just a little more iconic, although I think I might prefer Revolution myself desu
>>60291582
also
>Palatka - The End Of Irony
>>60291599
>>60291582
i agree dance tonight may be slightly better
but yeah, chaos is me is pretty much the posterchild of the genre and needs to be on there desu
>>60291508
edited late90s/early 00s with SoZ, Off Minor and Four Hundred Years
thoughts?
>>60291599
Chaos is more iconic for being thevearlier record, basically. It was more important to the genre solely because of this, but Dance Tonight is overall the better record and imo a much better representation of skramz; Chaos Is Me is a lot heavier and more blatant in its grindcore influence.
Gatefold would be a solid choice as well if you decide to do a section on the pv/skramz/noise/etc hybrid kinda shit
>>60291582
oh, and I'll be putting lord snow and stuff in a section of modern classics
>>60291639
what I'm saying is that while all 3 are incredible and hugely important, Dance Tonight would imo be the best choice for a essentials chart, as someone getting into the genre will be better off hearing the best before the most historically significant
either way it'll be a well deserved spot on the chart but that's just my 2 cents
version with Dance Tonight! since people seem to prefer that one
>>60291627
good
i would fill them with>>60290949those
also i would set myself on fire seems out of place. but theyre great so idk
>>60291663
i still prefer chaos is me desu
>>60291680
I ended up just putting Chaos Is Me on there.
I also added Envy - All the Footsteps... and United Nations - s/t
