Emo Punk

Emo punk is a subgenre of punk rock that emerged in the 1980s. It combines the fast, aggressive sound of punk with the emotional lyrics and melodic sound of emo. The lyrics often deal with themes of alienation, depression, and social issues, and are delivered with a raw, angsty vocal style. Emo punk bands like Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate helped pave the way for the emo genre as a whole.
