Don't bother, /emoe/ is awful and nothing even comes close to american football.I'd hardly even classify it as emo myself, it sounds so far from any other emo I've heard except for the couple that try to directly emulate them unsuccessfully
>>66337857
well what genre do you think AF comes closer to? What would you recommend from that genre?
>>66338005
I guess math rock with its complex and intertwining guitars but most math rock lacks the emotional depth of AF. That being said, I enjoy TTNG you should check them out. Not on the same level in terms of feels but the guitars are fantastic.
>>66338073
alright i'll give em a listen, thanks anon
>>66337763
Try toe: they aren't emo but they're pretty math-rocky and give the same kind of feeling as American football.
>>66338113
No problem, also
>>66338160

>>66338160

While you are at it, look into everything that sprouted from Cap'n Jazz - there's quite a bit:
Joan of Arc
Braid
Owen
Make Believe
Do a bit of googling about Tim Kinsella - he's involved in a lot of that sound
>>66339209
gee thanks man!
Why do we have this thread everyday?
Are there really constantly people just discovering American Football and asking how to get into more midwest style emo or is this like a meme post
Also listen to Tiny Moving Parts
>>66339263
np, friend
>>66339304
i'm not memeing and i've never seen this thread very often. i've picking my favorite /mu/core albums and diving deeper, and this happened to be the album that peaked my interest most recently.
no shitposting was intended
>>66339202
damn i really like this, is the whole album this good?
>>66339335
Just making sure. I see threads like this pretty often, I think it's great more people are getting into this genre
this is the pinnacle of the genre. takes a while to appreciate it though
>>66340940
didnt even realize this was an album, just thought it was a meme picture
>>66340985
nope. it's possibly the best album of all time mate not even joking
>>66341088
i'll listen to it as soon as i'm done with the one i'm currently listening to
Elliott- False Cathedrals is excellent and I never see anyone discuss it around here. It has a nice dreamy atmosphere along with the emo sound. The Hotelier is also pretty great.
>>66341555
