Do you consider yourself to be a fan of emo music? Are you not a fan, but willing to reconsider? Are you unfamiliar with the genre altogether? Were you looking for an Earwolf or Headgum podcast, and got lost somehow and ended up here?

Well in order then: you’re in the right place, let us change your mind, we’re looking forward to introducing you to the genre, and we understand if you have to go but hopefully you’ll stick around for a while!

This is our episode type called The Rush, which is short for The Mt. Rushmore. We take a topic – this episode’s topic being Emo Songs – and each of us brings our own personal Rushes to the table. We deliberate, argue, bargain, and eventually come up with a collab Rush that we can all agree (mostly) on.

All of our Rush selections, as well as a whole heap of honorable mentions, can be found on our website, https://fairlykickass.com, in a handy-dandy Spotify playlist. The first four tracks will comprise our FKA Rush, followed by our individual Rush selections, and finally our honorable mentions.

We always like to know what you think though! Did we get the right four tracks? Did we miss anything on our lists? Let us know:
