American band Jimmy Eat World have been a staple of the rock scene since forming in 1993 🎸
and Avril Lavigne, proving that emo is not only nostalgic but rapidly approaching middle age, and making us all feel terribly old in the process.
‘My initial hesitation when the term emo started to be widely used… was that first off, none of us really thought of ourselves that way. ‘But now so much time has gone by it’s like, whatever! You’ve got 14-year-old girls starting bands calling themselves grunge. That is rad! And you have people who weren’t alive when that scene was really going off, embracing it and trying to make their own version of what they’re hearing. And for better or worse, that scene, I guess we’re calling it emo.’
‘It’s going to be a blast seeing everybody. It’s like several years of Warped Tour on one stage, really.’ Thirty years have passed since Jimmy Eat World first started making music, from a handful of people in a basement to a recent sold-out show in Brixton, London, and things have changed.‘The demographics of the crowd itself have changed,’ he reflected.
Their newest track, which began life in the first few weeks of the pandemic, delves into the idea of ‘being present,’ and how ‘at any moment there is a cosmic number of other choices you could have made.’
