The Past, Present, and Future of EMO (with Allegra Frank)
Nate doesn\u2019t know much about the musical style known as emo. Sadly, he was too busy nerding out on jazz during his youthful years to catch the moment. That\u2019s a shame, because emo is experiencing a revival right now - most surprisingly within the world of hip hop. All of which leaves Nate in the awkward position of not really having any idea what\u2019s going on, so thank goodness for some schooling by Vox culture reporter Allegra Frank, who spent her teenage years the right way: getting emotional to the soundtrack of emo. Her first lesson about this endlessly fascinating subculture? It\u2019s\xa0way\xa0more than just a sound.\xa0\n\nSongs discussed:\nSunny Day Real Estate - Seven\nJawbreaker - Do You Still Hate Me?!\nMy Chemical Romance - I\u2019m Not Okay (I Promise)\nFall Out Boy - Sugar, We\u2019re Goin Down\nPanic!
