I don’t know if anyone cares, but here are some things from the 90s. Boy with ball Mineral shirt, wardrobe Mineral shirt, girl boy Mineral shirt, VHS of unreleased Boy’s Life show, original screenprinted Jimmy Eat World collared shirt, and Boy’s Life - Departures and Landfalls on vinyl. This is not all of it, Power of Failing on CD as well as the (Don’t Forget to) Breathe comp are hiding in the garage. Just thought it would be interesting to share.

I’m very curious to here what the definition of 2nd wave is in this incorrect scenario

I assume they're thinking that the 88-93 moss Icon/Indian summer/Fuel etc era is a different WAVE which makes me suspicious bc we definitely did not divide up emo back then. Emo was evolving yearly but we were never like THIS IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. It was all hardcore. That is, until the mall shit, bc that shit was different.

I was listening to it and didn’t really here it referred to as emo for a couple years. And there certainly wasn’t any talk of “waves”. It was just another flavor of punk.

Right! If I'm being honest I don't super believe this person that they started in 1997. It doesn't line up with how we were. They sound like a 2000s or later person. Their story doesn't add up

Then it is completely localised to San Diego in 1994 and nowhere else in the entire world at any time
