[1] States that "indie emo" is often called "midwest emo" because of the geographical origin of a majority of the bands; in "several major regions of 'indie emo' emerged. The most significant appeared in the Midwest in the mid-90s. Many of the bands were influenced by the same sources, but with an even more tempered sound. This brand of emo was often called "Midwest emo" due to the geographical location of the bands"; I attempted to add this to the page but another editor told me that I blatantly misinterpreted the source. However, a different way of interpreting the source seems impossible to me, as it blatantly refers to the "indie emo" style also being referred to as "Midwest emo", I believe this should be included due to the significant difference in style from the likes of Rites of Spring, Embrace and Jawbreaker to the Midwest bands, which the source supports.

I have recently discovered a fairly large community of Russian speaking artists who make music that is extremely Midwest emo in sound. Examples are florist (флорист), botanichesky sad, Bird Bone, aesthetics across the color line, telivision screen (телеэкреан), and many more. I find it interesting how large this subgenre is in a country completely separated by a language barrier, but retains many of the themes like existentialism, ennui and the feeling of being stuck in your hometown. I think this could be really interesting to include in the wiki page but may not be that noteworthy as it doesn't seem like the genre is popular in non-russian speaking countries. despite this, there are a large amount of bands that make this kind of music (just check out this spotify playlist [1] https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5vOMZBb0ll4lXSSxErXRdQ?si=34cc42252c41457f]). Let me know what you guys think about the potential inclusion of this! bucas :) ( talk) 22:27, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

The list of bands to have brought the scene "into prominence in the mid-1990s" feels dubiously factual. Besides listing American Football (whose first release was in 1998, hardly in the mid 1990s), many of the sources don't detail the claimed prominence and instead just namedrop the bands in question or talk about their music, perhaps it would be better suited as a list of noteworthy artists in the genre. 2A00:23C7:AED9:8701:9DC7:D08F:E411:1A23 ( talk) 04:17, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
