Urging you to openly
weep, searching for a
reason, just like you,
battling monumental
indifference, rocking
against negative
boredom, figuratively
pissing in your mouth,
humiliating and
subduing your spirit,
etc

“Can you speak on being considered pioneers of the emo genre?
Going back to Cap’n Jazz’s time, emo was a word for whether you liked bands from Washington, D.C. or not. Do you like Rites of Spring? Then you’re emo. It didn’t have this whole thing: You don’t have the haircut, you’re not wearing the right shirts or whatever the look was that everyone has. And we were always such a gang of misfits and so incredibly different that we would have never fit into any box no matter how big of a box you would have gotten. [Emo was] kind of a made up subculture that has now obviously become this huge subculture. And it’s been repackaged so many times.”
