I learned a ton from this book! It was really interesting hearing stories from this time which was so formative for me.
For people that enjoyed Meet Me In the Bathroom or Please Kill Me, this will be a hit.
Exultant.
The first time I cried reading a non-fiction.
I first discovered emo in 2006 when I was in the 6th grade (10 years old) with MCRs Teenagers and Good Charlottes The River. It irreparably altered my brain chemistry in 2007 when I first saw pictures of Panic! in either AP or Rock Sound or Kerrang. In 2008 I had the roughest year of my early teens and these bands were all I had (along with the Percy Jackson series.)
Now I'm 27 and this all feels like a lifetime ago. With age comes perspective, with age these idols become people. This book let me get a glimpse of my heroes growing up in a way their albums and performances only alluded to. I'm grateful.
That being said, if Ryan Ross ever releases new music I will cry scream throw up and maybe even pass away.
