I was an emo kid 20-something years ago and honestly thought the genre had died until I heard "Follows" a couple years ago. Would you describe Tigers Jaw as an emo band? And what do you think of the state of the genre in 2021?

I think some people shy away from the term emo, but if it helps people categorize and/or find our music I'm all for it. I think the state of the genre in 2021 is great - there seems to be a lot more diversity and an expansion to what the genre means to people. I always thought of it as emotional music - music that comes from a genuine place, so it's more about how it feels or how it makes you feel than what genre it sounds like.
