Negatives: A Photographic Archive of Emo by Amy Fleisher Madden
4.0
Reading this on the heels of finishing 'Where Are Your Boys Tonight?' I already knew what a powerhouse of person Amy Fleisher Madden is. I was so excited to get to read and see her work next.
'Negatives' is heart touching collection of photos and anecdotes from people who were active participants in the second and third wave of emo. I appreciate how the contributors touch on how the term Emo was used to other these new bands from their predecessors. When words like 'cred,' and 'poser,' meant much more back then.
In this new age, everyone is welcome. There is space for everyone to join in the community. This is not a book to debating who is the true Emos, but a celebration of many of bands that were around during that time. I am very excited to listen to some of these bands for the first time. (I am excited to say someone has already made a playlist on Spotify based of the book's line up.)
Fleisher Madden's dedication to DIY and her earnest love for the music shines in this collection. It is a sentimental yearbook of sorts.
