what was your answer?

Really like the sponsor being some art rather than some generic product. Nice move Finn. More of this please

If you ever think “wow, this is so bad. There’s no way anyone thought this would become popular”, just remember that Romance On A Rocketship was signed to Island Def Jam Records, who also signed artists like Fall Out Boy, Frank Ocean, Hanson, Shania Twain, Sum 41 and Saliva. People genuinely believed they were gonna break out into the mainstream.

Sweet! The first band sponsor! More exposure, thanks finn! Thanks gold souls! I get a ton of my new music, old or new, from pretty much finn. And a friend at work. I didn't have a computer growing up.

Forever the sickest kids first album is one of my favorite scene era releases. Interesting song writing and super slick production. Still holds up imo!

fun fact, the dude from Romance on a Rocketship was in a band called Here I Come Falling and also the band Agraceful before starting this solo project and it's nothing like this.

Cash Cash was a scene band who surpassed the scene by wisely deciding to stop making scene music, and become DJs. They ended up having a massive hit song with Bebe Rexha, and produced songs for A-list pop stars such as Pink. Now they’re a relevant festival EDM band. All that growth for a band that started by playing Cobra Starship type music.

Funnily enough, Cobra Starship kinda went down that route as well. Their 4th album was a lot more mainstream than their earlier material.

The early to mid 2000's was such a weird and experimental time for music. I can't be the first person to have this idea, but I've never heard anyone mention it, I think it had a lot to do with the increased commercial availability and decreasing cost of music production software and equipment. If you were 16 and had a part time job, you and your friends could go in and for a couple hundred bucks get a DAW and an interface and just go down some weird rabbit holes. There's definitely an ambient musique concrete grindcore band I was involved in floating around the internet featuring a box fan on vocals.

I’ve had this exact thought before and I agree, the increased availability of DAWs definitely played a significant role

The people I knew who were into crunkcore definitely partied, but not with hot women, more like desperate 15 and 16 year olds who wanted drugs.

That was intense. And mildly heartbreaking

No lie for Make Me Famous the song "Earth" actually slaps, it's still on my gym playlist to this day

I was rocking out to those first hollywood undead songs, without really understanding what they mean, I loved it (I'm not native english)

I was very happy the second you mentioned Capture The Crown. I wasn’t looking at the screen but I was hoping they were the band you were leading up to. Good shit, Finn

There used to be a venu in Evansville Indiana called Boney Junes that closed down in 2012. Notable bands that performed were Askikg Alexandria, Memphis May Fire, Hawthorn Heights, August Burns Red, Black Veil Brides, and the list goes on. I grew up about 40 minutes north of here. You are correct it’s a very small city in South West Indiana. Scene music was very popular in this area back then.

The fact that I had almost every artist on my iPod back in highschool is so unfortunate

So glad attack attack is playing shows again and brought traitors with them for their last little tour!

Holy shit Finn, I can't believe that you remember Romance on a Rocketship. I went to high school with one of the guys who was the original members and primary songwriter for The Maine. He's now in this badass shoegaze band now called Holy Fawn. We don't have much good local shit here in AZ so everything we get is like a needle in a haystack. They just got done touring with Thrice a couple days ago 😊 makes me so fucking happy to see someone I know really earn the recognition they deserve

6:04 I can't hate too much on that. One of James Hetfield's most iconic guitars is a white explorer to which he added a strip of masking tape that he wrote 'EET FUK' on. Also the fretboard inlays on that guitar are shaped like hands giving the finger, haha. I love Metallica.

Good video idea homie

The Romance on a Rocketship guy’s hair just made me laugh cry at work, thanks Finn!

Still remember that one time i was listening to Make Me Famous while my old ass uncle was visiting and he looked at my way with such disappointment I totally understand now 😂😂😂😂

Keep the vids coming

I managed to escape Evansville, IN in 2001 to go to college and never looked back... but I am a little sad that I missed the Crunkcore scene there.

I'm so glad you talked about jeffee stars music career, I found out about him through his hair song in my scene days 😭

I work part-time at a dive bar in Minnesota. The Midwest Scene Kid plaid shorts fit is still very much worn by some of my 30-year-old late night regulars. They get mad at me when they play that horrible scene Soulja Boy cover on Touch Tunes at full volume 30 minutes before bar close and I skip it.

Somewhat related, I was drunk at a bar one night and put a $20 into the Touch Tunes and selected nothing but A7X and Atreyu. After one song the bar shut it off and switched to a regular playlist. At the time I was devastated but too embarrassed to say anything. Now I want to thank the person who pulled the plug because I might have become the first person to die of cringe if it did play.

Hi Finn. Requesting an iceberg video on early 2000s mathcore. Looking back the shaky jerky peacock haired vocalists filmed on handheld cameras is possibly the most awkward phase in metal music history.

Gold Souls Walk The Other Way sounds like Avenged circa 2004 meets Architects

The great thing about the Stick Stickly video. They hit almost every Metalcore music video stereotype in one video. Running in place, playing in a dessert/abandoned building, random pretty girl in a white dress. Then of course accidentally invented Crab stance at the time 😂 only thing that was missing was raining inside the woods/field/warehouse God Attack Attack! Was great

These songs just became the soundtrack to my summer. No regrets.

Neon pop punk branch full video, we need it Finn!

16:57 thats why I love music, people with no idea on how to make it make music and throwing out the rule booking doing what they think is cool. I live to see artists like that being creative doing what they could with what they have.

scene music was so all over the place cause there was crabcore, deathcore, but also 3Oh!3, Never Shout Never and Millionares

“Spritz me with a hose mate” 🤣🤣🤣 Finn you crack me up 😅

I was listening to Capture The Crown's debut album days ago until you have posted this!

Favourite thing about Scene: it's a Goth off-shoot that somehow has nothing of value to offer

I was today's years old when I found out that Metal Inquisition was Finn's blog. Everything comes full circle it seems

Omg the comments about of design the skyline being every genre of sene music at the same time is so painfully accurate. But I feel it’s not just the music the way they look is like every single scene kid MySpace look. The hair, the piercings, the outfits , the makeup. I feel like I’m looking at every one of MySpace profile pics mixed together. I just but the MySpace scene kid lie was the peak of my 31 year old life tbh.

I remember that design the skyline moment like it was yesterday. I was always hyped for victory releases. Then this came out.

The Alumni Club, Just The Kid You Were Looking For, School Boy Humor, Select Start are my TOP Neon Pop Punk bands they would all play the local coffee shop a town over. I looked like a neon kid myself i love it

design the skyline was a core memory i didn’t need brought back thanks

Weirdly enough, a decade later, I have neon strings on my bass, and when I play shows there's always someone to praise that.

Ah this takes me back to reading SYWH in high school during study hall. What a time to be documenting music lol

I remember in high school, Marianas Trench made a song that absolutely shit on Metro Stations Shake It. That end of the chorus lives rent free in my head to this day "shake-shake-shake-shut your mouth".

This video gave me ptsd from highschool.

The guy from Romance On A Rocket Ship was in two Metalcore bands. Agraceful and Here I Come Falling

The day I’ve been waiting for

design the skyline was basically from my hometown. still have there album on cd

Brooo this was awesome, I LOVED NSN growing up hahahaha the memories I can’t stop laughing

My scene band would’ve been called one of the following -Beautiful Undead -Shallow Razor -The Never-Ending Nothing -The Mind of Morla -The Southern Oracle or -One of the Following

It's actually so sick to have the sponsor be a band
