In this episode we talk about the EMO'S NOT DEAD Cruise, the biggest annual music festival with "emo" in the title. We discuss the festival's origins and its founder, Matt Cutshall. We also listen to all 28 artists that performed this year, and we determine how many of them qualify as emo in some form or fashion... Which quickly becomes a conversation about the concept of "mall emo" and what emo even means. Is this emo festival even emo? Listen in and find out!
Also in this episode: Blade and Erik frequently disagree, and Blade judges Erik harshly. Enjoy!
