Negatives

The scene, as it was. Negatives is a hardcover time capsule of emo music from 1996 to 2006 — the decade that took the genre from basement shows to arena stages, captured through never-before-seen photographs and never-before-told stories.

The book gathers firsthand accounts from the musicians, photographers, and icons who shaped the era, tracing the sound's evolution from the underground bands that would have bristled at the label to the genre-defining acts that embraced it — Jimmy Eat World, My Chemical Romance, and the artists who turned emo into one of the most influential cultural movements of the 21st century.

A decade that refused to fade.
