(although we've got those cities covered too!):In Washington, D.C. . . . Ian MacKaye and Fugazi inspired the straightedge culture, which had kids everywhere drawing black X's on their hands in magic marker.In Omaha, Nebraska . . . A young Conor Oberst, aka Bright Eyes, started writing and performing gutwrenching love songs at the tender age of thirteen.On Long Island, New York . . . Taking Back Sunday and Brand New battled for emo supremacy and the fragile hearts of a million teenage girls.From the coauthor of the cultworthy Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture comes Wish You Were Herea combination travel guide and tortured history covering everything from what constitutes proper rock critic etiquette in Minneapolis to why poppunk bands in Chicago have so much suburban angst, to how freegans in the Bay Area can feed themselves on a budget that would make frugal Rachael Ray's face blush.
