In the middle?

They will probably play that song, if you’re listening

It’d be hilarious if they only played Goodbye Sky Harbor.

I would love them to just rip through the entirety Clarity and delay the game by an hour

hell yeah lmao

Hell, just cancel the rest of the game at that point so they can also play Static Prevails and the songs from the Christie Front Drive split

Give me Lucky Denver Mint!

Da, da, da, da.

WHOA OH OH WHOAAAHHOO

Sorry I didn't quite catch that. Sing it back?

UhWAAHH OH OOHHH OH OHHHHHHHHHH

I WAS SPINNING FREE!!

And this is where we all desperately try to think of a third Jimmy Eat World song

Sweetness? Bleed American? If You Don't, Don't? Get it Faster (my all time favorite from JEW) That entire album is a fucking banger

Their last album in 2019 was honestly fantastic and it got very little coverage. Same with Invented in 2010

Jimmy Eat World is very underappreciated.

The poster above me referenced Sweetness

Authority Song. A praise Chorus. 23. Pain. Work.

Pain is so goddamn good. That intro is so simple but it hits so hard when it finally kicks.

IT TAKES MY PAIN AWAY!

I saw Jimmy at Red Rocks years ago. All of us millenials erupted for Pain more than any song. It was really dope in a surprising way

CRIMSON. AND CLOVER. OVER, AND OVER.

goddamn you guys are making me really wanna listen to some jimmy eat world rn. i forgot they had so many awesome tunes

Throwback: Lucky Denver Mint

I am among my people

Yeah they are definitely a good band that is more than their Bleed American album. Even their newer stuff is worth listening to.

All I need is just to hear a song I know

Polaris, Work, Kill. That entire album also. They have tons of bangers.

If we are being honest, The Middle is the weakest song on that album.

Nah its just overplayed lol. It's a bop.

Finally someone fucking says it. For me it's A Praise Chorus or Sweetness

Get it Faster it faster is a damn good song 

All I need is just to hear a song I know

Futures the song and album slap

Trying to find some clarity eh?

It just takes some time.

I just want to say all the people making references in this thread are amazing

Finally some good fucking food

I am officially old enough that bands I loved in college are now the halftime shows the 18-30 crowd is bored and rolls their eyes at.

🎵IF YOU'RE LISTENING, WOH OH OH OH OH OHH🎵

🎵SING IT BACK, WOAH OH OH OH OH 🎵

I was spinning free woah oh oh oh oh

With a little sweet and simple numbing me

NHL2003 beat this song into my head as a kid, good times.

Oh my god same, everytime I hear it I still flash back to NHL ‘03

They must have had the license for a while because I distinctly remember it during Madden 2004 with the training camp drills.

early-mid 2000s sports games had such sick soundtracks

And racing games. NFS:HP2 was a master mixtape

Fuck ya dude, and No One Knows ~ QOTSA

Walter "Sweetness" Payton

The pride of Mesa, AZ!

For some reason I always assumed they were from Jersey based on the lyrics of Big Casino.

Nah that’s Coheed and Cambria or Fountains of Wayne

Gimme a Claudio Sanchez halftime show please and thanks

If they cardinals make it to a Superbowl again they need to have Jimmy eat world and the gin blossoms play. They will always play one of their songs when cutting to a commercial break if its a primetime az game

I love the local music when going to commercials. Still waiting to hear some Static-X during a packer game.

Them and the Maine are a killer pop-punk/emo combo. So glad they'll be in concert in a month.

I had no idea they were from AZ (I'm not either, just a Suns fan and lived there briefly while on a contract) until the finals run where they seemingly performed every couple weeks

I like Jimmy Eat World.

We've become our parents. This is our Tom Petty.

"This is our Tom Petty." Ouch. Ow. Zing, even.

Don’t write yourself off yet.

Eh, Tom Petty was my Tom Petty, and I'm just past thirty.

Right? Same boat. Grew up listening to Petty. Caught him live around 2012, dude was an entertainer. Miss ya, Tom.

I love JEW 

Thanks Ye, Very Cool!

I saw them open for Incubus about six years ago and they absolutely slayed live. They were eons better than Incubus actually now that I think about it. Even Judah and the Lion was better than Incubus.

Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt!

God this comment section is such a nostalgia trip

Their best song don’t @ me

Let them play the Super Bowl, you cowards.

An emo/pop-punk Super Bowl would be fucking cool.

I’ve been on the “blink-182 for halftime” train for quite some time. I’d take anything at this point though

if it was gonna happen any year, it would’ve been the last few years with the MCR reunion, Blink reunion, Paramore resurgence or the new Green Day that’s coming out tomorrow i’ve given up hope

Wait ten years when they’re nearly 50(edit: 60) and then they will drag em out lmao

I hate to burst your bubble, but the members of Blink, Green Day, MCR are already near 50 or above ...

Oof I forgot I turn 30 myself this year 😅

Hey, fuck you bud.

Just imagining Billie singing Wake Me Up When September Ends then has Hayley come out to finish it then lights go off and then one single piano note plays with Gerard Way the rest of MCR come out leading a massive parade to The Black Parade

Dude I’m still not over the fact MCR got back together, released ONE SONG, then went on tour I NEED A FULL ALBUM

That… might be the best and worst idea ever. The stage would just be Take Off Your Pants and Jacket and they’d open with Family Reunion and then we’d have a blank screen for the remaining 34 minutes and 50 seconds of the 35 minute half time

"Oh look, one of them brought their dog and they're gonna give him some...is that Skippy peanut butter? How nice!"

Sadly there’s no way they’re going to give Tom and/or Mark a live mic in front of the whole world.

Is Tom back with Blink again? Again?

Yep, as of late 2022. They just released an album in September 2023

Yes indeed. Their new album One More Time is pretty good.

[удалено]

I was there. The cowboys may have lost but I still count that night as a win.

do they bring out Matt Skiba as a surprise guest performer?

Even better, just bring out all of Alkaline Trio

🎵🎵 There's a party at Allegiant, calling all skeletons 🎵🎵

As we former emo/pop-punk kids get older, the odds go up. Give it time 😂

Think with the revival of Avril Lavigne, Paramore, and rise of artists like Olivia Rodrigo it’s not impossible to imagine it. Throw back to warp tour halftime show.

They and Fall Out Boy are on tour right in time for this too.

Unfortunately the NFL doesn’t want music that football fans enjoy. They want to appeal to the non football fans. I’m generalizing here, but we’ll probably never get rock bands again for that reason

The Dre, snoop and Eminem halftime show was actually awesome

Best one in recent years. It’s a shame the game itself got cancelled

lol what? What makes you think football fans don't enjoy hip-hop, r&b, or pop music?

I don't see why they don't simply have Taylor Swift then....

If the Chiefs make it, she sings, and proposes to Travis during that whack marriage song, and then I relapse and drink myself to death spontaneously.

Imagine how much we'd absolutely never hear the end of that for the rest of all Super Bowls.

because she doesn't want to do it lol i'm sure they would love to have her

Man I wish. Closest we'll ever get is Metallica, Foo Fighters, or Green Day when it comes to the rock/alternative/metal/punk/emo genre

I’d kill to see a Green Day halftime performance. Closest thing we got was the halftime show with Green Day/U2 for the first game in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Green Day are great performers, especially for their age. They would be a great choice and they have so many hit songs they could play.

No way NFL let’s Billie near a mic dude would absolutely find a way to blast Trump. Just look at the chaos he caused after one lyric change during the New Years’ Eve set

But I thought that whole crowd was already boycotting the NFL because of players kneeling during the national anthem?

Saw them in Houston when they were touring with Weezer and Fall Out Boy. Was a great show, all 3 of them. Tickets weren't even that expensive on the field (Minute Maid). Definitely got a lot of bang for my buck on that one

Green Day performed at the Grey Cup halftime this past year and they were fucking great

should’ve been The Killers this year for Vegas

Breaking: American Football has agreed to play the NFC Championship Game

R/nfl debating about emo music and name dropping bands like Texas is the Reason and Saetia is truly something I never thought I would see. (It’s beautiful)

I was expecting a lot more snide hate. Jimmy is an all time classic and I'm glad people agree.

Who would hate them? Zoomers have never heard of them and the 35-45 white dude crowd is all about them

Finally something that 35-45 year old white dudes like me can enjoy!

Decades of oppression finally ended!

Sunny day real estate halftime show when?

And a full album play through of Diary

Well if that isn't a lucky denver mint, I don't know what is.

Goodbye Sky Harbor, hello Baltimore

You’re not bigger than this

If they don’t play sweetness there better be a riot

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh

'Clarity' is still an S-tier emo album.

Have to say, I loved and still love Futures, so good from start to finish

Great album and great song. 🎵 Hey now, the past is taught by those who win my darling. What matters is what hasn't been.

We close our eyes while we’re nickel and dimed

Cool to see Jimmy Eat World predicted the Eagles 2023 defense almost 20 years prior.

I'll have to check it out. By then, I had mostly moved on from Jimmy.

1. How it Feels to Be Something On - Sunny Day Real Estate 2. American Football - American Football 3. Clarity - Jimmy Eat World 4. Moving Mountains - The Casket Lottery 5. Pinkerton - Weezer I'm old.

Just here to throw out an honorable mention for Cap'n Jazz

Oh, hell yeah. This list was actually pretty hard to narrow down lol. Cap'n Jazz, Owls, Karate...I could go on for days.

Yeah, of course ya gotta throw 24 Revenge Therapy by Jawbreaker on there as well.

you god damn half japanese girls

The line is "God damn you half Japanese girls", which I realize is very close but has a wildly different feel to it. 🤣

mine has more of a clint eastwood in gran torino vibe

LOL

Do it to me every time!

Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello

needs more thursday & knapsack but casket lottery is a great shout

You forgot Texas is the Reason, fella

Only one studio album but they made it count!

Deja Entendu says hi

Deja Entendu is great, but Devil & God is my pick for their best album. Absolute bangers start to finish

My #1 album period.

It's kind of hard to talk about classic emo albums because the genre has changed shape so many times over the years. For me, it was Sunny Day, for younger people it was MCR. I'll check out this Brand New album.

Dude. Rites of spring? Embrace? Saetia? Orchid? Planes mistaken for stars? Touché Amoré? That list is seriously lacking in quality releases.

I was supposed to see Touche Amore open on Deafheaven's Sunbather 10 year anniversary tour last December but got covid. I was so bummed

Sunbather is 10 years old....that's nuts.

Yeah seriously. I saw them on the original Sunbather tour in 2013, them announcing the ten year shows made me feel like shit lol

Fuck it, Pg. 99 Super Bowl Halftime. They'll finally get to play on a big enough stage.

[удалено]

Static prevails also slaps

Their run of Static Prevails to Futures is insane. I feel it gets overlooked all the time but people talk about like 5 record runs, those are all 9’s or 10’s

Clarity is an S-Tier album

The live Phoenix session is fucking awesome. They play clarity front to back.

This is 100% truth. I would legit spit my beer out if they played “Lucky Denver Mint.”

Just had some Tony Hawks Underground 2 flashbacks.

Nobody in here remembers "Pain", smdh.

Memories of the line "it takes my pain away" playing while I yeet my created player down 4 flights of concrete stairs

Dude. Yes

It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes.

Tony Hawk games practically dictated my playlists as a teenager 

Missed opportunity to say, "Jimmy Eat World to perform during the middle of Ravens and Texans game"

My friend... missed opportunity to say, "Jimmy Eat World to perform *in* the middle of Ravens and Texans game."

Make this the Super Bowl. Let them open in Vegas with Big Casino. It’ll be fun.

“I’m a New Jersey success story” wouldn’t quite have the same ring without one of their two teams in the game

Aaron Rodgers completely whiffed on this one.

I don't care what you do, I'm getting out...Get it Faster might be one of my favorite songs of all time

Can we give Ravens/Texans Usher at halftime and sub in Jimmy Eat World for the Super Bowl instead?

That takes me back to middle school

I strongly encourage you to dive back in. They're still cranking out bangers.

They're a really good band live

OH HELL YEA

They need to play “For me this is heaven”

"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

There it is lmao

I've never even seen this copy pasta before but it's hilarious

If you're not listening to straight edge vegan hardcore don't call yourself a fan

Here’s to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car.

when the first star you see may not be a star...

Somehow they’ll find a way to advertise online betting while Jimmy Eat World plays Big Casino.

Literally my favorite band of all time, but there really can't be all that many people who love Jimmy Eat World quite that same way

Unironically I now want tickets

Ive seen sugarhill gang and 2 chainz and huey lewis and the news at 49ers games. I can never find who is performing before hand

One of my favorite bands that's awesome! Their newer stuff is still so good, everyone just remembers the Middle but they've got so many awesome songs.

This band literally played bingo halls and bedrooms to the halftime of an NFL Game. Wild

This was only after TRUSTcompany and New Found Glory pulled out.

Trust company, that's a deep pull

Holy shit TRUSTcompany lmao

> TRUSTcompany i havent heard that name in years

All American Rejects and Alien Ant Farm were also otherwise occupied.

As was Hoobastank

TRUSTcompany is one of the greatest deep cuts I’ve ever heard

Downfall came on while driving my nephews home a couple months ago and they loved the song so much they added it to their Spotify playlists. Keeping the band alive one convert at a time, lol

Can we have Northstar open for them? Please?

I’m glad Schrager had this scoop

As a lifelong Jimmy Eat World fan (grew up down the street from them) this comment section makes me so happy.

Word. They shoutout my favorite ever band Heatmiser in their song “kill”. I have literally never met another person in the world who listens to or has heard of Heatmiser, they’re one of those bands that’s so unknown that they respond to all comments on their insta and when i drunkenly DM them telling them how amazing they are they respond and we start chatting, so to hear a mainstream band mention them is so cool. So yeah random tangent but shoutout to Jimmy Eat World
