Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rites of Spring is a Hardcore Punk / Post-Hardcore band created in 1984 and ended in 1986 with members Guy Picciotto (guitars/vocals), Eddie Janey (guitar), Brendan Canty (drums), and Mike Fellows (bass). They are the ones to thank for the creation of the most divisive of all sub-genres, Emo.Coming out the Washington, D.C. hardcore movement, Rites of Spring wanted to challenge the violent scene with melodic riffs and intensely personal lyrics. Picciotto wasn’t afraid to put his heart on his sleeve, and the band themselves were known for their explosive, energetic performances which amounted to only 15 shows during their tenure. But their only album, the self-titled Rites of Spring, proved influential for thousands of disaffected kids. The band and album garnered a following that would morph into Emocore, a label hated by all involved at the time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Guy Picciotto and Brendan Canty would later join another influential post-hardcore band, Fugazi with Ian MacKaye and Joe Lally.Kurt Cobain listed Rites of Spring on his top 50 favourite albums of all time.

The Cameo: "Persistent Vision" definitely has Ian MacKaye doing background vocals.

Three Chords and the Truth

comment
Three Chords and the Truth: As is the way with most hardcore bands, Rites of Spring were all about the three chords, but three melodic chords.

Take That!
 Rites of Spring (Music) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: One could argue that the whole band could be a "take that" to the hardcore scene in general. In 1983, hardcore had become a violent mess of macho-posturing. Rites of Spring decide to write emotional, personal songs about love and life, not how hardcore they were.

Mohs Scale of Lyrical Hardness: Generally on a 7. There's a reason why they were called "emocore".

Shout-Out: The band name is an obvious reference the famous Igor Stravinsky ballet symphony, The Rite of Spring.
