Once a trailblazing name in the mid-'90s emocore scene, Jimmy Eat World steadily rose to national prominence by embracing a blend of alternative rock and power pop that targeted the heart as well as the head. While the band's influence widened considerably with 1999's Clarity -- an album that has since emerged as a landmark of the emo genre -- it was the band's self-produced follow-up (specifically the infectious single "The Middle") that crowned them as major figures in commercial rock. The emo label proved difficult to shake throughout the 2000s, even when subsequent albums Futures and Chase This Light did little to evoke the hard-edged sensitivity of Clarity, but Jimmy Eat World nevertheless remained a league above the generation of emocore torch-bearers they'd helped influence.

  • I've been watching ...

    I've been watching videos of Jimmy Eat World and Weezer tonight and I keep hearing them refered to as "emo" music and then I see folks get offended about it being called that. Emotional or emotive it doesn't f**kin matter, and remember the main message in most of their songs is to basically do u, and stop giving a f**k if others disagree. there r billions on billions of people in the world, opinions r gonna differ, oh well.

    Who cares what the genre is?
    Label it what you like. It doesn't change the song, or what it means to you, personally.

    And by the way...
    This song is sick!!!!! I LOVE Jimmy Eat World!!! And not that it matters, but they're definitely not one hit wonders!!!

  • One: This song is ...

    One: This song is amazing
    Two: Emo was originally a genre in music. It didn't stand for 'emotional', it stood for 'emotive'.
    "If emotions are feelings, emotives are the expressions of those feelings through the use of language, specifically through constructions that explicitly describe emotional states or attitudes."
    And you annoying idiots should stop accusing every single song you hear as being 'emo'. Out of music, to me, emo is a style of dress not people that randomly slit their wrists.
