The documentary ‘Not Everything That Ends Has a Final End’ is a narrative that shows the winding path that emocore took in the world of rock, where it established itself as a controversial genre with multiple distinctive characteristics. The film features emblematic figures from the Brazilian emocore scene, such as Lucas Silveira (Fresno), Koala (Hateen), and Nenê Altro (Dance of Days), as well as others involved in the subject matter, contributing to a simple and transparent presentation of perspectives on the distortion of the true meaning of Emo, its sonic characteristics, and more. This is an independent, original production, designed for those who have never heard of Emo, for those who know – or think they know – what it was, and above all, a gift for those nostalgic for the scene who experienced it firsthand and still cherish fond memories of this movement that marked a generation.

With influences from the Ramones, the Misfits, Buzzcocks, Pennywise, Green Day, and other old school punk and hardcore legends, CPM 22 recorded their first demo tape in 1998. Their popularity in the Brazilian underground scene led CPM 22 to record the independent album A Alguns Quilômetros de Lugar Algum (A Few Kilometers From Nowhere). Two years later they were included in the Brazilian MTV video-music award in the demo clip category with "Anteontem" (The Day Before Yesterday).
