TheBigSwigg 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2005 any of you guys believe this theory: Emo started right after Weezer's Pinkerton album? Comments y'all. I like weezer but I can't STAND that emo shit. As far as I know, Embrace is credited with starting emo. In the 80's. No Shit. Quoting myself, from 2 pages ago: And, technically, Rites of Spring existed years before Embrace, and are considered the first Emo band. I got owned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
