When the reference to Pascoli's little boy began to be repeated incessantly among the school desks, my CD player first, then MP3, investigated with cautious fear the American emo of the late nineties, that of Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is The Reason, Mineral. After all, what was more similar to the concept of a child than these boys, who soon became men, who looked at themselves with such ferocious emotional naivety? Midwest emo, that specific subgenre made up of serpentine intertwined guitar arpeggios and math rock-style drum rhythms, would have arrived later in my life, but I still believe…
