What are your favorite emo songs?

[JustinTheGreat]

This is my emo playlist.
And yes I’m aware that a lot of these songs aren’t necessarily considered “emo” but I added them anyways because it’s the same vibe lol

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Nirvana is special to me, at least Nevermind. It's hard to pinpoint why, let's try, this album talked to me in so many ways, I feel like it shaped me. It shaped like, my relation to the world, to people, to society. Shaped or resonated with? It kickstarted my heart (reference intended), my mind, my soul even. This revolt, this pain, some primal, inner scream at the face of existence, and at the same time... This loose attitude, chill. And...

Sentimental? Definitely.

And, yes, Emo is a misleading term, too ambiguous I think

[snowboarder720]

Tears don’t fall by Bullet for my Valentine
Duality by Slipknot
What the f**k is wrong with you? by Combichrist
Red by Combichrist
die for the goverment by Sharptooth


Some of those aren’t even emo 🖤 it just kinda turned that way after naming a couple.

[snowboarder720]

Get your body beat by Combichrist is another banger

[snowboarder720]

Dragula by Rob Zombie

[DizzyDesii]

Too many to name but I like a lot by Papa Roach, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Panic at the Disco, All Time Low, Evansence, Blink 182, The Killers, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, All American Rejects, Avril Lavigne, Sleeping With Sirens, Breathe Carolina, Boys Like Girls, Bring Me the Horizon, Death Cab for Cutie, Flyleaf, Jimmy Eat World, Fray, Plain White Ts, Twenty One Pilots, Bad Suns, Weezer, The Ready Set, Linkin Park, and Limp Bizkit

More than half of those are in my emo mix. I have other bands in mine like The Used, The Starting Line, Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, Dashboard Confessional, Chevelle, Rise Against, Sum 41, Nonpoint.. and I'm sure there are many more but you have a good mix there 😊

Brings back memories!

[AI Opinion]

Oh, you've touched my heart with this question! 😭🖤 While the "emo" label can be pretty broad and personal, here are a few songs that I absolutely love and feel fit the vibe perfectly:

1. *"I Write Sins Not Tragedies"* by Panic! At The Disco - This one has the drama and theatrical flair that screams emo.
2. *"Helena"* by My Chemical Romance - This song is so beautifully haunting and emotionally charged.
3. *"The Kill"* by Thirty Seconds to Mars - There's so much passion and angst in Jared Leto's voice here.
4. *"MakeDamnSure"* by Taking Back Sunday - The intensity of this song always gets me.
5. *"Cute Without The E (Cut From The Team)"* by Taking Back Sunday - This duo really nails it for me.

Mix these into your playlist and see if they blend with your vibe. It’s always fun to discover how different songs resonate with different moods! 🎶🎸

so was the ballad of mona lisa he played there

[Ladsin2]

Late 90s eh? ETF, FIR, are both great. You don't have Five Finger Death Punch on there though.

[JustinTheGreat]

I've heard of them of course but im not too familiar with their music. I’ll check their stuff out!

[Ladsin2]

The Bleeding is a good start.

[Damaged00]

A Little Bit Off is newer but a good one

[Simslover92]

Any Paramore song lol

Also where is my mind Pixies

[Anonymous]

I'm not familiar with most of these, and the ones I do know are not emo. For example, Smells Like Teen Spirit is grunge, NOT emo. Creep, definitely not emo.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I agree but the asker decided to use a very broad definition of emo lol

[JustinTheGreat]

I know but I just bunched them all together cause it’s all the same typa vibe to me lmao.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

It's okay, it's just that some people are picky about music genres, I am. But I also get where you come from with the vibe lol

[JustinTheGreat]

@Maybe_Maybe_not it’s honestly very hard for me to differentiate specific sub genres. Like I know there’s like 20+ sub genres of metal, for example.
But they all sound the same to me tbh lol

I didn’t originally have Nirvana in this playlist because i definitely know it’s different but my friend told me to add it so i was just like “fuck it”

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

GOOD
high five to your friend !

[jackieistired]

Helena, decode, tourniquet, bring me to life…so many

[sobg1124]

Some really great songs there! I absolutely love My Chemical Romance, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Blink 182, and the Killers!

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Linkin Park - Numb
Linkin Park - Crawling
Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
Divided the Day - Fuck Away The Pain

Not sure if these are emo

Cranberries - Linger
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

[Smashingdoozy]

This is too unfair. There's far too many but pretty much everything listed here 😁

[Anonymous]

I'm gonna hazard a guess that I'm not into any of this stuff, since I don't seem to recognize any of it

[JustinTheGreat]

Some of the songs are very popular and get a ton of radio play so I’m sure you’d recognize them if you heard them

Out of these songs: Creep, I Write Sins not Tragedies, Mr. Brightside, Misery Business, Still Into You, Smells like Teen Spirit, Bring Me to Life, and Sugar we’re going down are probably the most recognizable

[DrPepper12]

If it's from MCR I'm in!! ♥️
