20 Fave Emo Songs

We all remember the emo days. These were the days when we wore skinny jeans and neon bracelets up to our shoulders, teased our hair and blackened our eyes with the darkest possible eyeliner. We were angsty, too-cool-for-school and always upset. These were the days of Warped Tour and Taking Back Sunday, and for me personally, these were the moments that I realized the true impact music could have on someone's life. Alright, I'm a little nostalgic for my emo phase, but I know you are too, which is why we made this playlist. Enjoy our 20 favorite emo songs here. Artwork for this playlist was created by Megan Bell.
