A Love Letter to Myspace, the Social Network Where Music and Identity Intertwined | NOISEY

For some reason, when we talk about the “emo revival” we only talk about a very specific time and sound. We talk about American Football, Mineral, Braid, and all related Midwestern musicians of the 90s who inspired another wave of brooding, twinkle-bands that would roll back into popularity in the 2010s. For some reason, we don’t often address the fact that, between those two time periods, the 00s happened.

As well as being the decade in which every music video editor discovered contrast levels and went to town with them, the 00s were responsible for launching a melodramatic fusion of elements taken from midwestern emo, hardcore punk, and pop to create emo 2.0
