First wave emo song and nostalgia
I'm still not sure if it part of the culture here to link to random old songs because you are having feelings, but I'm going to do it anyway.
My son listens to a lot of music he refers to has "fifth wave emo," which always gets me thinking about the music that is now called "first wave emo" and I didn't even know it at the time. We didn't even use the word "emo" much. It was harDCore, or maybe the Annapolis auxillary of harDCore.
Also, on the whole I think it is good that Little Steven convinced AZAPO not to assassinate Paul Simon.

@robhelpychalk Have there actually been five canonical waves, or is the term more of a gesture?

@pauline Joey, my son, certainly believes the five waves he's thinking of are canonical, and can talk extensively about them.
On his accounting My Chemical Romance is the third wave, and its really a bigger influence on what he listens to now than anything else. But he acknowledges that they are the bridge between his music and the music I listened to when I was his age.
Apparently a band called Cap'n Jazz counts as the second wave. I haven't heard much about the fourth wave.
