Lifetime

Emo
Emo

Lifetime is a Emo act. Their sound grew out of Hüsker Dü, Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg, Minor Threat and Black Flag. Those roots explain a lot about how Lifetime arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Dag Nasty, Bane, Avail, American Nightmare and A Wilhelm Scream, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Midtown, Fall Out Boy, The Bouncing Souls, Saves the Day and Taking Back Sunday, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Lifetime, reaching back through Hüsker Dü and forward to Midtown. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
