I listened to the Jawbreaker album Dear You and, I dunno, there was a lot of good stuff going on there, but also a lot of cringey stuff mixed with it that makes it overall hard to enjoy the album. Though I hear that was there "they sold out, maaan!" album, so maybe I should try their earlier stuff.
Cursive is one of my all-time favorite bands. I suppose I've heard them called "emo" before.
What's the relation between emo and slowcore? I hear similarities, but I never really hear them discussed in the same context. Is slowcore just considered it's own animal because it didn't evolve out of hardcore punk? I dunno, I like The Arab Strap tho.
