Proper Nouns

Emo is a genre never out of flux. Generating continua, qualification, and prefixes to escape connotation, it's come to mean a thousand things to as many people. This special at once strives to comprehensively examine emo's products whilst absolutely exercising editorial control; chowing down on the radical, trimming the suck. From the aggressive reality of Daitro and the banlieues, to Rites of Spring and mid-80s D.C. foundation myths, Proper Nouns is an annotated journey; a handsewn playlist partnered with enthused analysis. It tackles the trouble of commonality across the many faces of a perhaps maligned genre and touches on something.
