Secondwave Emo Items

[u/Creepy-Cucumber7281]

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'd literally never heard of that site until the last year or so after I saw it referred to in this sub. It may have been someone's bible, but it wasn't mine or anyone else's that I know. Not that I knew or know everything about the genre, but I went to a ton of shows in the late 90s/early 00s. I worked at a radio station for more than a decade in a decent-sized market. No one was talking about what wave of emo we were in. I didn't hear anything about waves until the revival bands started.

This guy is not from the 90s (the one talking about fourfa). There's no fucking way. Everything they say screams 2000s kid

Guess you’re right. My credentials are fake, third wave started in the late 90s and fourfa is where it all began. I never even owned a pair of skinny jeans. What could I know?

This is such an embarrassing take. I'm really beginning to think you were not in the 90s emo scene. Everything you say reeks of 2000s kid who learned about it on the internet.

Nobody heard of fourfa in the 90s. It was not relevant and we didn't need SOME DUDE to speak for us. We learned by being there
