A snarky, fact-filled look at the people and places that made
the indie/punk scene what it is today
The American underground music scene is exploding
everywhere--not just in New York City and L.A. (although we've got
those cities covered too ):
In Washington, D.C. . . . Ian MacKaye and Fugazi inspired the
straightedge culture, which had kids everywhere drawing black X's
on their hands in magic marker.
In Omaha, Nebraska . . . A young Conor Oberst, aka Bright Eyes,
started writing and performing gut-wrenching love songs at the
tender age of thirteen.
On Long Island, New York . . . Taking Back Sunday and Brand New
battled for emo supremacy and the fragile hearts of a million
teenage girls.
From the coauthor of the cult-worthy Everybody Hurts: An
Essential Guide to Emo Culture comes Wish You Were Here--a
combination travel guide and tortured history covering everything
from what constitutes proper rock critic etiquette in Minneapolis
to why pop-punk bands in Chicago have so much suburban angst, to
how freegans in the Bay Area can feed themselves on a budget that
would make frugal Rachael Ray's face blush.
