I thought not. It’s not a story the Midwest Emo would tell you. It’s a folk punk legend. The Front Bottoms were a Folk Band of the Emo, so powerful and so wise they could use the Acoustic Guitar to influence thirteen year olds to create pure sadness… They had such a knowledge of Emo music that they could even keep the ones he cared about from a twin sized mattress. The emo side of folk punk is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. They became so powerful… the only thing they were afraid of was selling out, which eventually, of course, They did did. Unfortunately They signed on to Fueled By Ramen, they then convinced the Front Bottoms to make subpar indie folk pop. Ironic. They could save others from mediocrity, but not themselves.
