EmogameEmogame is a series of early 2000s browser games about emo subculture.GameplayIn the original Emogame, the player, as a series of figureheads from emo and indie rock bands, fights through levels of enemies with "bad taste in music", i.e., out-groups of the emo subculture. For example, as Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba and Bright [Eyes (band)|Bright Eyes]'s Conor Oberst, the player throws vinyl record projectiles at fans of Dave Matthews Band and the members of Creed on the way to rescue The [Get Up Kids] from Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.DesignJason Oda created Emogame as an art student at the Rhode [Island School of Design] learning Macromedia Flash. The game shows both affinity and ridicule for the emo subculture. Oda would later describe the international attention he received circa 2001 as his 15 [minutes of fame]. Emogame developed a cult following and led to three sequels. Interest in Emogame 2.5: The Anti-Bush Game, led to game development job opportunities and a career in making browser games as viral advertising.
