In/Humanity

The Profile

In/Humanity were an American hardcore punk band from Columbia, South Carolina, active from 1992 to 1998, credited with coining the term “emoviolence.”

Coined the term “emoviolence” (originally as a joke); active 1992–1998; American hardcore/powerviolence approach with pranks, satire, and liberal use of samples; discography compiled as “Violent Resignation: The Great American Teenage Suicide Rebellion 1992–1998.”

A 5/5 review praises In/Humanity’s complete discography compilation, Violent Resignation. Across 42 tracks, the band’s emoviolence formula fuses emocore with powerviolence, peppered with provocative samples. Songs range from blast bursts under a minute to slower, dissonant detours. Interludes and notorious samples (Manson, Crowley, Mr. Roboto) add chaos. Even the singer admits the full run is a lot to take in one go.
