The Emo Diaries
''The Emo Diaries'' is a series of twelve compilation albums released by Deep Elm Records between 1997 and 2011. The series had an open submissions policy and featured mostly acts that were unsigned at the time of the albums' releases. Deep Elm founder John Szuch claims that the original name for the series was intended to be ''The Indie Rock Diaries'', but this was ruled out by the fact that the first volume included Jimmy Eat World and Samiam, who were both signed to major record labels. ''The Emo Diaries'' was chosen because ''The Emotional Diaries'' was too long to fit on the album cover. Despite the title, the bands featured in the series have a diversity of sounds that do not all necessarily fit into the emo style of rock music.Greenwald, pp. 118-119. Andy Greenwald, in his book '' Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo'', claims that the series "stake a claim for emo as more a shared aesthetic than a genre": e bands included hail from all over the world, and the m ...

In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide.
