It’s at least Pop punk adjacent I’d say

The bigger problem is less that it's "cringe" and more that individuality/community is dying overall. So many things are amalgamations of each other that its killing these things. Everything is starting to look and feel like waiting in line at the DMV with a bag of low-salt, low-calorie pringles. No genuine creativity, and what is genuine is having its soul beaten out of it to appease an algorithm.

That’s because originality and uniqueness have become a set aesthetic instead of a result of personal discovery. Originality used to come out of necessity and was a side effect, not a goal. Then it become a goal and people kept trying to push the envelope. Now that the envelope has been pushed and now kept in check by new social norms, the only thing left to do is emulate the superficial portions of that idea of uniqueness. So basically we’ll be stuck here until people get over themselves and use creativity for a new goal.

Isn't that something that has been going on for centuries technically? Emo is itself an offshoot from Goth subculture, which has it's roots in Punk and from older European styles considered Gothic and the ancient tribes famous for sacking Rome (Ostrogoths and Visigoths). As an artist myself, I've always been taught that originality never existed, and that what people can do is their own spin on things - but it doesn't negate that a lot of the things we enjoy now came standing on the shoulders of giants over the centuries.

@@idontwantahandlethough The music one is actually very easy to explain. There is a law in Canada that all radio stations must play at least 35% Canadian music. So, basically every 1/3 songs needs to be from a Canadian artist on the radio up here. This means a lot of artists who would get absolutely zero radio play get a chance because Radio stations are desperate to fill the Cancon (what the law is called) quotas. When those artists blow up locally, partly because of this law, that talent is then noticed by major music labels down south. There's no language barrier and are pop culture is very similar to American pop culture so it's easy for bands that have already shown to be popular here to transition to the bigger American market. Thus, an outsized number of Canadian bands/artists hitting it big.

Old Room is a great place to start. Spanish Love Songs - Lyricism, vocals, everything; just fantastic. I recommend Brave Faces, Everyone the most. Mom jeans. - I'm sure a lot of people know these guys already. They rock. Best Buds is a fantastic album.

I remember I used to go to these concerts, and feel this unreal connection with every single person in the audience of "there are other people who feel the same as I do, and we are not alone, and we can feel it all together tonight." I don't know if it's just cuz I'm older, or not in my hometown anymore, but it feels like all the concerts I've been going to lately feel... like no one cares about each other, and they're only there for the hype.

I think a huge part of why this wave of emo music is less emotionally affecting isn't only because "it hits different when you're in your 20s", but importantly also that there isn't really a culture tied to the music anymore. music genre used to play a lot more into how you dressed daily, who you hung out with, and the place you saw yourself in society. this definitely had downsides, but also added a lot of depth and shared in-group experience to the music! today's emo has been aestheticized - it's currently more about a vibe, a mood, rather than a whole community and culture

As a result it just feels like some product that consume and not something of much substance. Which is also why it comes across as an aesthetic rather than a genuine expression.

Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta.

Emo is happening everywhere in basements and living rooms, tiktok emo is so far removed from what emo really is that its basically a joke. Thats not a “REAL EMO IS ONLY THE DC HARDCORE” thing, but theres a certain genuineness that emo requires, that the goobers on tiktok aren’t pulling off.

One thing to point out is that the emo aestetic we're seeing on ticktock feels like the most extreme version of it. A lot of the biggest bands in emo at that time weren't that deep into alternative fashion. It was a lot more self conscious than that, like they had the skinny jeans and the eyeliner and the fringe, but like there was way more restraint, because they were people experimenting and dabbling in an aestetic. There was a lot more variety i felt, it feels like every new emo act i see is like instantly full black veil brides

Emo was literally regular Tshirt and jeans band like Taking Back Sunday, Jimmy Eat World, or Saves the Day singing sad songs. There was no aesthetic. And almost every band people claim are emo is just pop punk or hardcore. MGK is pop punk, no way in hell is it emo. The loud attention seeking look/sound is literally the opposite of what emo music was about. It basically introverts letting their EMOtions out.

I said this in another comment, but also pertinent here: those pop punk bands ALL dressed like skaters. Avril had a skater aesthetic in her first album. Simple Plan, some screamo bands, every single band that had a song in a rom-com movie from the 00's AND FREAKING SMASH MOUTH - all dressed like skaters. The more extreme of those I THINK was Tokio Hotel, and even then it was mostly the vocalist; his twin brother who also played in the band had a full-on skater vibe all the time. Emo was that same vibe, but dramatic/depressed. And the girls who listened to those bands were the ones bringing in the fun stuff (clashing hair textures, fun colors and/or patterns in hair and clothing, exaggerated makeup) and therefore because the face of the style. THAT'S what these guys are emulating now, not what they would have dressed like back then.

​@@LunaWitcherArtI agree with everything you said except the brother in Tonio Hotel. He was dressing like a rapper, not a skater. And its funny that you mention bands emulating skaters because girls are all basically dressing as skaters from the 90s. I skated growing up, girls literally dress how I dressed in the 90s. Oversized jeans, big shoes, flannels, and a beanie. We didnt wear thongs pulled up and sag our pants to show them off though. BUT we did wear shoelace belts that looked like thongs so maybe that's where they got it

the beginning bit of playing iconic emo bangers made me so nostalgic for middle school. im still alternative, but i haven't listened to some of those in years

i agree that labels have always been responsible for pushing pop punk artists out there, but in the early noughties they were being discovered by playing shows in their local scenes, or later on by posting their music online on myspace. the music was the discovery, which led to the artist being signed. now, with tiktok, the artist is the discovery. labels are looking for the full package, and the music is secondary. artists have always had to put themselves out there to get signed, but now they have to continue that self promotion even after that point. the artists aren't the problem, the labels are.

Yeah it was interesting I was watching a video on pop punk from the channel Punk Rock MBA the other day and he mentioned that the rise of the internet meant that music, and the hardcore scene in particular, stopped being so NY/LA centric. You had teens in Ohio uploading music online and getting discovered without having to first move out to the coasts. I thought of that both when Gabbi mentioned everyone in pop punk talking about hating their hometown (lol) but also in how she said everything nowadays is so LA centric. It’s shifted back to a focus on the coasts, but instead of that coming with a focus on building the music community like in the past, it’s now hyperindividualized, with the artist and the personal brand taking priority over the music

It's a bit different because their actual music wasn't foisted upon you unless you actually viewed their page. On TikTok you're going to experience the music via a snippet of a video which will take up the entirety of your screen. On MySpace it was just background music, which while still annoying was less of a problem to deal with. MySpace was primarily text based social messaging. TikTok is a video content delivery system. Even if you avoid a person by blocking them, they have hundreds of spambots reposting the video in a way that abides via the TOS so you're going to have to see the video whether you like it or not.

I don't know if you've heard any of his stuff but Illenium recently made an album called Illenium (I mentioned it in another comment) that was rated as mostly Rock/metal and it's more so a collection of his recent singles from a few years ago till now. It's such a good album that I haven't gotten tired of it yet. I could probably listen to Shivering with Spiritbox 30 times in the same day and I wouldn't be mad. And the album has some pretty good features. Like Avril Lavigne and All Time Low and a metal band I don't know anything about called Motionless In White. Sorry if it seems too vague but I'm not fully into this genre, I just so happen to really enjoy this album.

I love the wilt shoutout in the clips at the end !!!!! they're a new fav of mine and I found them on the clock app, goes to show that there is actually cool indie stuff out there it's just being overpowered by all the over-processed derivative crap.

I'll say if you really wanna support the current wave of emo going on right now, some bands I recommend include: Hot Mulligan, Ben Quad, Home is Where, Sweet Pill, Carly Cosgrove, Koyo, Mom Jeans, and Arm's Length. Granted some of these are a little more toward the indie or midwest-type emo than pop punk.

As a former emo kid, I feel like a big part of why people hate new emo/punk/grunge music so much is that it reminds us of how alt subcultures have been taken over by consumerism. Like, being punk or grunge in the 70s-90s actually meant something about your political beliefs and morals. I was emo in the early 2010s, when the popularity of the subculture had kind of died down, but I feel like there was still an element of shared culture, experiences, and beliefs, especially on platforms like tumblr. A lot of these subcultures were explicitly anti-capitalist, and served as a safe space for people that were queer or had mental health issues. So, I think people are frustrated at the fact that these "industry plant" musicians can just decide to become emo/punk one day, and buy the clothes from shein, without having to learn about the values and histories of those subcultures. I don't think it's fair to put all of the blame on these musicians, but I understand people's frustration that being emo/punk has become more about aesthetics and what clothes you buy than an actual lifestyle. Especially when most of these new emo/punk musicians aren't doing anything new with the genres. Like, I think a lot of people forget just how diverse these genres used to be. When I was emo, my favorite bands were My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, and Pierce the Veil, and even though they all fall into the "emo" category, they have incredibly different sounds. But yea, considering the fact that the unofficial emo slogan was "It's not a phase, it's a lifestyle", this whole thing just makes me feel kind of sad.

I think that the genres were much less explicitly anti-capitalist in the 2000s, but I do remember a lot of focus being put fighting stigma relating to queerness and mental health, which was still pretty revolutionary for that time. And personally, the whole focus on "posers" felt like the community was at least trying to keep corporate entities out of the subculture. Obviously there are a bunch of different causes for why people dislike the new emo/punk musicians, but as someone that's still in the alt community, the things in my first comment are some of the most popular complaints that I've heard from talking to people about this topic.

hi gabi, we're yet another modern emo/pop punk band getting lost in the noise. just want to say thank you for this video. it's super accurate from our experience and it's nice to have the landscape of things so well presented. it's a weird time man. use trends to get traction, but be original, promote your music, but not too much. i think most modern bands accept we're never going to be the next nirvana or mcr, there's just so much oversaturation and those with money or connections are only getting bigger slices of the pie. i know it all sounds rather doom and gloom, but there's a beautiful irony here. it all gives us something to get really emo about. and hopefully that leads to great music. sure it won't get listened to by the masses, but as a kid all it took was one great song by one great band to keep me going. that's what matters.

I agree w/ other comments that it definitely feels like they're putting on a costume. all the classic punk bands used what they had and a style naturally emerged, 00s emo & pop punk typically only had one guy that really committed to the Look. Like ffs the lead singer of one of the biggest pop punk bands was known for wearing a trucker hat & their little sister band went full 70s beatles overnight. Even the Clash was doing reggae half the time. It's not so much the sound or look as the authenticity of their beliefs, emotions & messages, and we live in a progressively more inauthentic and irony poisoned culture where it's more hard to come by

That’s exactly what I thought!!

I think it's important to note that while many of the most recognized pop-punk/emo bands may have been "industry plants" a huge amount of them actually made good music and gained a following before getting signed and pushed, which is very much not the case with a lot of new acts who are releasing their first songs only after having a contract. I think that's another reason why a lot of it feels so detached and superficial. Furthermore, I can be certain, but it seems a lot of the tiktok musicians seem to be just a vehicle, not writing their own stuff, just singing what the label had written for them. Sure, "old emo" may have had a bunch of writers or producers chipping in ideas, but much of it was actually written. There's a story about Blink being forced to write First Date and Rock Show for the label to sell a couple more pop-driven songs, but people still like those songs (although maybe less than others), because Tom and Mark are talented writers. I think Olivia Rodrigo is a good modern day comparison. Some of her stuff is poppier, more label-directed, sure, but she still writes her own stuff about her own experiences (as far as I know). Also, the old guard may have also been "industry plants" but they were still far more punk than the new generation. They actually tried to push boundaries and fight back against the labels, even in small ways (think Simple Plan writing Addicted, specifically trying to get a vulgar word past censors or even Fall Out Boy being smart asses and titling a song Thnks fr th Mmrs because the label said to shorten their song titles). One last thing, a lot of the old emo/pop-punk bands truly did come from shitty little towns and were outcasts, so even if it's pushed by a label, it's more believable when they say it. TL;DR A lot of Old Emo earned their spot becoming popular before being signed to big labels and a lot of newer stuff feels disingenuous because artists aren't writing for themselves or don't really believe what their own songs are saying. PS I don't hate all newer emo/pop-punk. there are still a lot of good modern acts (Magnolia Park, Meet me at the Altar, Yours Truly, etc)

I liked your song. Pretty cool. I loved how the lyrics had almost all the tropes you talked about earlier in the vid. Had me cracking up and jamming at the same time 😂😂

The improvement of home recording ability is both a blessing and a curse, and part of what forces the 'inauthentic nature' of the aforementioned TikTok emo/pop-punk. I spent many months in the studio with various rock, punk, and metal bands over three different decades, in myriad different roles (from engineer to production to writer to session musician). Studio time used to be a limited resource, and so there simply wasn't enough time or money to have everyone nail every single part of every single song to perfection. Because of this, there's always a little roughness and sloppiness on even the most well-performed of records. That's why these things felt more authentic - everything felt like it was performed by an actual human, with their flaws and imperfections. There was a certain chaos to recording sessions, which heavily influenced the album's sound. It's quite obvious that the TikTok music being pushed isn't just overproduced - it's _over-protected_. Every vocal line is re-recorded until each note is perfect, and if not it's corrected until it _is_. Each rhythm guitar is repeated over and over until each chord has the exact same dynamics with no errant string nor pick noise, unless that specific section needs the noise when in that case the noise is punched in and copy-pasted for perfection every time. Every lyric is chosen specifically so it can be easily lip-read when someone mimes it on a KZread short. Mildly controversial or offensive lyrics are discarded before they even hit the page (good luck on any modern pop-punk band releasing a song like "Happy Holidays You Bastard" or "My Vagina". Even the "small independent artists" are terribly guilty of this. And don't get me started on how 'self-produced' music ends up being short-hand for "I can't take feedback nor direction well". In the search of being the next 'viral' hit, these musicians have sacrificed the human connection of their music for glossy robotic tat, in a way that has no precedent compared to anything recorded before 2002.

" you spent one half of your comment saying that hammering perfections out is taking something vital out of music- but then were supposed to care about criticisms? if mistakes are art and perfection the enemy of soul than criticism obviously fits team B there. cant have it be that dichotomic- in truth our tastes are arbitrary and criticisms are both pointless and cant be constructive. how often ive heard someone say a song they hated became bigger in their audience is proof of that. every act seems to have that song. no genre nor act and no artist can be perfect anyway- so the idea that theyve over produced is much like saying over/under rated. its not rated- you just dont agree with consensus- which in of itself is a meaningless taste and not indicative of value. the myth of musical soul is espoused by people too cowardly to admit that liking or not liking a noise and how we organize them is not even gradable. Gabba and noise are genres. none of this ever meant shit- the communities grow cause they can vibe with the emotions they made themselves. we can learn how to take advantage of common responces- but punk never relied on skill or talent- it was always mindlessly yelling about frustrations. finding the others lost and screaming with them. it only makes sense that that appeals to a very particular person. but all the reasons we think art works- we come up with after the fact- same with every taste- you didnt like your favorite color until you found excuses to emphasis it. mines green- but why? cause the hockey team i root for wears it- lukes lightsaber is that color, the goddamn trex in jurrassic park- all things important to specefically me thus green became my color. specefically the sea and teal shades- i like the ocean. but none of these greens inspire me to like green- i noticed they were green and gave em extra attention because of that. after all im from dallas- and i also like football- so why not blue or silver a color scheme famous in my home city? cause my arbitrary taste was set first. its just an emotional responce by the brain. it picks these non-useful comparisons to excuse its bias' not to explain its setting.

Gotta say, I was avoiding this video because of how important my Emo phase was in my teens to early 20s. I'm not on Tiktok so I didn't know about all this so call resurgence. Seeing those made me think right away that they'vr turned Emo into some caricature (and it's awesome that you said this minutes after I thought of it). That's just heartbreaking. But thanks also for pointing out that there are truly authentic artists who are making emo/ alternative their own and actually do make good music with it.

The bright side is that emo, and alternative culture in general, is becoming more accepted in our society. We should never go back to the days where simply being goth or emo would get you bullied, ostracized, and your life ended too soon (through your own hand or others). For every "alt" kid of the 90s and 00s who felt isolated or misunderstood, there's a person right now who doesn't have to go that pain and isolation thanks to social media platforms making it easier than ever to learn about other subcultures.

⁠@@twoicecreams.I don’t think it’s becoming more accepted… on social media sure but half those on tiktok only do it for the videos and dress “normal” in public I still see so many video of goths and emos still being shamed and it’s heartbreaking but it’s even more heartbreaking witnessing people in the alt scene bully each other

ok off topic maybe, but I luv ur mustang guitar in the back

I’ve been going to pop punk and emo shows since 2008 and I still gotta give my flowers to my favorite band ever, The Maine. They started their own label, their own festival, they co founded Sad Summer as an answer to the lack of warped tour, just opened for FOB’s arena tour, and still, no one knows who they are lmao but seriously, the community they’ve built is unlike anything I’ve seen in this music scene. They have all the success of being active touring musicians without any of the bs that comes along with it and it’s been so impressive to see and I’m just so proud of them. 8123 means everything to me 🥹

As an "elder emo", the only problem I have with tik tok and emo music as like a whole is that the people who bullied me for liking this type of music are now getting into it BECAUSE of tik tok its just kinda annoying to witness that :/

Felt that. Its popular and cool and trendy to be "emo" now but when i was in high school blasting deathcore and shit out of my headphones i got nasty looks and looks of sheer terror. i know deathcore isnt the point of Gabis video but point still stands

I think it's the consumerism that's annoying- It's marketable now so people are into it. just like how, for example, queer identities and diversity are used as selling points or are put in advertising, just because they can be like ";) we are just like you. buy our crap."

Thank you so many people use could care less instead of couldn't all the time ahhhh

I need to hear your song at the end everyday

Gabi, sister, you fucking rock. Not only are you confident enough to get up and just sing in your own room for us, you're confident enough to *publish it even if it cuts off completely* and I will forever respect that level of absolute chadness.

In your "Is it MGK or Blink?" segment I got all of them right... but #5 was a 50/50 guess. The Blink influence is strong in that album lmao

The only reason I could tell was because of the production, the MGK stuff was way too clean and heavily quantized to be blink, and if it didn't sound overproduced to high heaven I went with blink, the production was really the only clear difference

Mgk is a fan of blink and Travis barker played drums on the album

Sameee #5 was the only one I got wrong 😭 you really gotta listen for how it’s produced if you have an ear for that sort of thing.

This video really transported me back to 2010 when I had blue hair and wore extensions. Thank you for that 😂

"Don't do one pushup. Do one hundred. Don't run one mile. Run a marathon. Don't have one family. Have a second family all the way across the country. Don't just have a second family. Have a third family in Santa Fe with an alternative lifestyle. Don't spend any time with the first two families. Make a commitment to family number three. Double down by announcing it at his war hero father's retirement party. Don't go to the funeral cuz remember, you've got two other families to deal with and a marathon to train for. Don't let Kenneth walk out of your life. Take his life from him. Don't just go to jail. Go to death row by killing the two other families. Don't just let anyone have their closure by apologizing. Send a message that you're not afraid of Hell."
