If you grew up in the era when emo music exploded and ever wondered how the bands started out and later found success, this in-depth history is for you. Told exclusively through interviews with the members of the biggest bands and those who worked closely with them, this is an interesting look back at a time when wearing skinny jeans and writing heartbreaking lyrics was all the rage. Nostalgic and honest.Publisher's description:
Told through interview with more than 150 people, including bands, producers, managers and fans, a music journalist offers an authoritative, impassioned and occasionally absurd account of the turn-of-the-millennium emo subculture that took over the American music scene from 1999 to 2008.
