Rites of Spring developed a style with melodic guitars, varied rhythms, and deeply personal, impassioned lyrics.Greenwald, p. 12. In the early 1990s, several new bands reinvented the emo style and carried its core characteristic, the intimacy between bands and fans, into the new decade.,Greenwald, p. 19. such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. In the mid-1990s, many of the new emo bands originated from the Midwestern and Central United States. The Promise Ring exemplified the new emo style, which was slower, smoother, and more pop punk-influenced. Beginning in the late 1990s, emo had a surge of popularity as a number of notable acts and record labels experienced successes. Emo broke into the mainstream media in the summer of 2002 with Greenwald, p. 68.
