Taylor Markarian, Natasha Van Duser: From the Basement (Paperback, 2019, Mango) 2 stars

Review of 'From the Basement' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Surface level takes of more mainstream third-wave emo. Author associates DIY screamo acts as being more akin to grindcore than anything else, which feels like a miss (ideally, would hit more on nuances relating to emoviolence + skramz). Hits on the impact of MySpace, but foregoes any insights relating to Tumblr/Bandcamp and the emo revival that took off in 2012/13. Big emphasis on tri-state bands, and is sort of disparaging of bands coming from anywhere else.
