  Title: Emo
  Passage: Emo is a genre of rock music characterized by an emphasis on emotional expression, sometimes through confessional lyrics.  It emerged as a style of post-hardcore from the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as emotional hardcore or emocore and pioneered by Washington, D.C. hardcore bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.  However, as the genre was taken up by a new generation of musicians in the early 1990s, its sound and meaning shifted and changed and it was reinvented as a style of indie rock and pop punk by bands such as Jawbreaker, Sunny Day Real Estate, Weezer, and Jimmy Eat World.  By the mid-1990s, numerous emo acts such as Braid, The Promise Ring, and the Get Up Kids emerged in the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the genre.  Meanwhile, a more aggressive style of emo, screamo, had also emerged, pioneered by the San Diego bands Heroin and Antioch Arrow.

In 1994, the band released their debut album "Diary" on Sub Pop Records to critical acclaim.  However, shortly after releasing their second album "LP2", the band broke up, with members Nate Mendel and William Goldsmith joining Foo Fighters and Jeremy Enigk embarking on a solo career.  In 1997, they regrouped long enough to record two more studio albums and a live album but ultimately disbanded once again in 2001.  The band reunited again in 2009.  Bassist Nate Mendel, who chose to remain with Foo Fighters during the previous reunion in 1997, took part in this reunion.  In a 2013 interview with MusicRadar, Mendel said Sunny Day Real Estate was inactive.  According to Mendel, the band attempted to record a full-length album after the end of their reunion tour, but the sessions "just fell apart".
