  • 2002, "Reviewer Spotlight: Kyle Ryan (KR)", Punk Planet, September/October 2002, page 51:
    At the end of April, I lost my mom to Inflammatory Breast Cancer. On the day I flew down to see her, I grabbed a few CDs on my way out: a mix CD, the Uncle Tupelo anthology, Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney, Tell All Your Friends by Taking Back Sunday and the new Paul Westerberg. Being an emo geek (and a card-carrying momma’s boy), I’ve always found peace in music, and I had a feeling I was facing the Emopocalypse.
  • 2008, Steven Wells, "The Mexican emocalypse", The Guardian, 1 April 2008 (used in title only):
    A wave of anti-emo violence is sweeping Mexico, with 800-strong mobs of 'pop-listeners, skaters ... punks, rockabillies, goths, metalheads and basically anyone who's not emo' putting aside their differences to go beat up kids with big hair and eyeliner.
