Book Reviews of POST: A Look at the Influence of Post-Hardcore-1985?2007
Book Review: In my day, we just called it "emo"
Summary: 4 Stars
A nice little read that probably started as someone's senior thesis. If you grew up in the scene, especially between 1994 and 2003, you'll get a nice little thrill reliving seeing Braid & the Get Up Kids. I would have liked to have read a little more about "scenster" involvement. My feeling is, if you're going to study how these bands have affected modern music, then you also need to explore the labels, zines, radio shows, bookers and kids involved bringing the underground above ground. Just saying.
If you're looking for something to read between customers at the record store, you could do a lot worse than "POST". Definitely worth the bread spent.
Summary of POST: A Look at the Influence of Post-Hardcore-1985?2007
POST is a look at how post-hardcore/emo music developed since its unintentional inception in the mid-1980s. With each chapter broken up by influential band or label, it focuses on a broad style of independent music that developed because of the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) ethic.Focusing on bands like Fugazi, Jawbox, Jawbreaker, Sunny Day Real Estate, Braid, the Promise Ring, Hot Water Music, the Get Up Kids, At the Drive-In, and Jimmy Eat World, as well as labels like Dischord, Jade Tree, and Vagrant, these bands and labels came from the ideas of DIY and sustained them. In turn, they inspired plenty that came after them. Looking at the surroundings and circumstances from where they came, this a look at the bonds that formed and the music that came out.". . . a gripping, Our Band Could Be Your Life-style narrative," ?
