(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 gut-wrenching 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 cult-worthy Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture comes Wish You Were Here-a combination travel guide and tortured history covering everything from what constitutes proper rock critic etiquette in Minneapolis to why pop-punk 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598992703776,"sku":"NEW006157371X","price":14.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81gHFjPxF0L.jpg?v=1778457659","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/wish-you-were-here-an-essential-guide-to-your-favorite-music-scenes-from-punk-to-indie-and-everything-in-between-006157371x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
