Best of Today's Emo

While emo finally stormed the alt-rock scene in the '00s, the most successful acts often had little to do with the raw and earnest sound that defined the '90s underground. But with their rough-but-catchy hooks, punk-inspired energy and heart-on-sleeve sincerity, this new crop of bands like Joyce Manor, Modern Baseball and You Blew It! revive emo's original do-it-yourself spirit.
