Negatives: A Photographic Archive of Emo by Amy Fleisher Madden

adventurous emotional funny informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Amy Fleisher Madden brought back so many distant memories of a decade in the emo music scene. The photographs distill the feeling of being at a show, and her writing about each of the bands is like an old friend reminding you of why this time and community meant so much to you. Enjoyed all the essays by the contributors as well, from Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional to Geoff Rickly of Thursday, among many others. The book also just looks great on my coffee table and has inspired many conversations with friends over the very short time I've owned it! It's like an emo yearbook in the best sense.
