Cap'n Jazz was always better
>American Football
>emo
When I was a kid, emo was a bunch of black haired teen boys with a hundred lip piercings screaming their lungs out over their two-hour long relationship while cutting themselves in the school bathroom.
Not this soft rock stuff.
Mineral is best
>>62556041
emo was something else before the term started being associated with mallcore kids

Is American Football really /mu/core anymore? Sure, it's mentioned relatively often, but every time it is posted it's almost universally hated and criticized.
It's not a bad album, and certainly not a bad emo album, but for the best or worst it's becoming one of the most hated records on this board.
>>62556041
So you're what,17-18 tops?
>>62556193
It's a fantastic album for what it is. I have a hard time believing anyone with good taste who grew up in the suburbs during the 90s could hate this album.
>>62556041
You're too young then. That word was used way before it got stained by shitty media and kids in the 2000s.
>>62556041
You're still a kid

>>62556193
makes no sense because anyone that's been on this board for more than 2 years knows that there was a time when AF was universally loved
fuckin kids
>>62556041
>when I was a kid scene kiddies were already considered emo
Underage b& pls go
>>62556873
Noice
Also The Power of Failing by Mineral as well, Diary and How It Feels to Be Something On by SDRE and both Brave Little Abacus albums.
the best emo revival
>>62557060
All of this. Also "Do you know who you are?" by Texas is the reason and "The devil and god are raging inside me" by Brand New for something more gritty
Personally I see Chinese football as the 3D male equivalent to The Hokago Tea Time, just four awkward asians doing cute friendly things and playing melancholic music
>>62556918
I'm 22, actually. But by the time I started hearing emo being played, the stereotype of angsty screaming teens was in full swing.
where the fuck is Snowing in this thread
>>62557159
>TDAGARIM
More like ew no

You mean pop-punk. With a little "emo-pop" sauce on top. Fucking 2000s killed such a good scene.
>>62557241
So who's going to see the show
>>62557159
brand new is pleb tier
lyrics are mediocre on that album but Your Favorite Weapon is good and Daisy's alright. Deja Entendu is good but fairly overrated by it's new shitty fanbase of tumblrinas, so yeah
>>62557259
IF YOUR LISTENING WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOHOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>62556271
>>62557279
>>62556079
"scene" bands are usually more talented and creative than trve skramz n shit, cry about muh semantic drift and muh "it's popular so it's not cool" all you want
show me kvlt and grim emoe as catchy as Sugar We're Goin' Down, as ambitious as The Black Parade, or that synergizes styles as smoothly as Someday Came Suddenly i dare ya
>>62557241
they're probably overdiscussed, but the meme ep is about my favorite music atm
>>62557468
TAKE BACK THE RADIO
>>62557515
Man, I wish an album like Clarity or Bleed American would come out again.
Sucks that they went to shit
>>62557490
https://tpaty.bandcamp.com/
wanted to post this
https://tpaty.bandcamp.com/track/fucking-honestly
but thats okay too
still havent listened to their new album

>>62557724
>>62557753
ty, didnt expect a serious response haha
bimp
>>62556193
because the board become so contrarian and tries too hard to be "muh patrician" that they can't appreciate good music that isn't unpopular/inaccessible
any other bands that are similar to the Newfound Interest in Connecticut. also
>mfw they're actually from Canada
>mfw no face
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nez_qj8NSd8
>>62556193
Only newfags and "le patrishian" people hate this album.
>>62555876
It's not geographically from the midwest but i'll drop it here anyway.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKQhemH1LGY
>>62556193
AF gets shit because of the exposure it has, caused by being "/mu/core", in neo-mu, the more exposure an album has, the more people will be hating it.
This is nothing new but with the influx of contrarian shitposters you start to see people shitting on that album literally everywhere, which is kind of sad.
>>62555876
>>62557490
Man, don't get me wrong. I love The Black Parade, and FOB wrote some of the most catchy shit of that decade. It just bothers me that the term emo got attached to just that part of the scene and shadowed the origins. And then, as the "scene" got a lot of hate in the media for the depressiond and selfharm stuff, the term "emo" became kind of a negative word to throw around. But well, I'm just a bitter dude that grew too fast, I guess. I like the emo revival scene, though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4iCbPWbyZI
>>62557413
if youre serious can you explain why YFW is good but not Devil and God, and how Devil and God has bad lyrics but you like YFW? plus i dont think deja or daisy have better lyrics than TDAG
>>62561151
ohhh yeahh
>>62560455
this is topdank, ty
all other post-emo i know of is skramz tho
https://junepaik.bandcamp.com/album/12
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QrsZgZWs_4
>>62560874
nah i get you. always found the bad rap the "scene" fad got unwarranted or at least disproportional, even if a good chunk of it genuinely sucked. like, trends and confused teenagers were always a thing
>>62557142
love this
>>62562395
yeah no problem man. I'm not a fan of skramz though; i prefer clean-vocals
>>62555905
I almost spit my water out.
Is there anything out there that sounds specifically like Never Meant off this album?
I fucking adore that song.
>>62557279
idk in the end of the day, pop-punk was a contradictory to begin that pretty much related to 1st world suburban kids. It was doomed from the beginning; another form of glam metal. noticing a pattern anon?
>>62555876
What album is this? I've literally never seen that posted here. Thanks for posting new albums and not albums that already get posted 100+ times a day.
>>62562977
What's todays pop punk?
>>62563252
suburban kids whining about their lives
>>62556193
>but every time it is posted it's almost universally hated and criticized.
So is literally all /mu/core nowadays because it's "patrician" to hate anything that gets any mention here.
>>62563355
but i meant the musical equivalent, since pop punk isn't a thing anymore, at least in the mainstream.
>>62563252
emo isn't dead, but the cycle is almost over. however, a new genre is on the horizon and is currently in beta testing to see if it's capable for lift-off. might explode in the next year or 2
>>62563447
ah. that would probably be rap. trap rap to be specific.
>>62563563
no, every genre has a cycle and every cycle, it's repackaged as something new.
>>62563525
i feel like emo can still get another wave, maybe two, and it's noticeable now that the current wave is slowing down.
>>62563563
i thought it would be mainstream "indieh" since the demographics are kinda the same and people are starting to feel embarassed they listened to that genre for some reason.
>>62556193
Wait. People dislike this album?
>>62564028
>i feel like emo can still get another wave, maybe two
i don't think so, emos on it's last leg; though it's still fairly popular, so it'll probably be mixed with another upcoming genre to form something new
>>62557060
>Brave Little Abacus
This meme becomes old too fast. Enough.
>>62565547
They're actually good though, it's fine if you don't like them.
>>62566316
No they're not
>>62566359
How constructive of you.
>>62566365
>if you disagree with me you must be trolling
>>62555876
I miss when no one knew who American Football were, everyone used to think it was a band that people made up. Then these 2010 hipster fags latched on to the album 11years too late
>>62566382
I didn't say you were trolling, or even imply you were. It just helps to say what you don't like about them rather than just saying 'no they're shit'.
>>62557490
>>62562395
>>62562713
>trve skramz
>kvlt
>emoe
Please tell me people don't actually use these words when talking about hardcore/emo
Since this thread is the normal American Football arguing thread, i'll rec some midwestern emo.
Cap'n Jazz
Sunny Day Real Estate
Texas Is the Reason
The Promise Ring
Mineral
Joan of Arc
Knapsack
>tfw Chinese Football makes a better album than American Football
>>62567547
Chinese Football are horrible
I swear u fuckers will eat up almost any revival shit
Don Martin Three - Transistor
>>62556193
Let's get one thing straight.
/mu/core is NOT a list of albums /mu/ likes, although there is a lot of overlap.
/mu/core is a list of albums you should be familiar enough before you start posting in /mu/. /mu/core is albums that everybody has an opinion of, and you are thus expected to have one as well.
AF, and indeed, all albums in the list are /mu/core not because /mu/ likes them, but because /mu/ talks about them all the goddamn time.
>>62567358
>Cap'n Jazz
good
>Sunny Day Real Estate

>>62567949

You fucked up son.
>>62567949
this is actually accurate, good taste
>>62568284
>he doesn't like joan of arc
?
This board knows literally nothing about emo, (which I grew out of by 2006, btw). You're all so fucking embarrassing.
>>62569012
good stuff senpai
besides i literally dont have to know jack shit cuz ive listened to moss icon's lyburnum and it's quite clearly head and shoulders above any other emo release, ever. no reason to discover this shit anymore
>>62569159
Choice record.
how about Bright Eyes?
>>62561441
TDAG is good but it's not like some legendary album
Honestly, I like their music, but their fanbase is so utterly cancerous I'm almost embarassed to say it
>>62569012
Then tell us what emo is if you're so fucking intelligent

30 yr old reporting in. None of you cunts were a part of it. kek
>>62558343
Neat choices. Donut Friends was a great label. I haven't dug out much beyond Harriet the Spy and Party of Helicopters.
Vitreous Humor/The Regrets were a pretty unique band. The Whisper Twins is a fantastic sex jam.

>>62557245
>>62557413
Fuck this I'll fight you all Brand New is the best emo-ish band and stop having differing opinions from mine All their albums are great especially the streak from 2006 leaked demos/TDAGARIM/Daisy and You Won't Know/Sowing Season/Luca/Limousine/Degausser are some of the best songs of 2006 please fight me like ugh get a music taste like please.
>>62557753
Nice, pinkerton-core! Thanks
>>62569159
Or just go study grammar.
>>62569618
Because there actually exist normal people on /mu, not just fucking autists living in the attic.

im not usually into twinkly tapping as far as ive listened, but i can kinda second that rec. btw the first link in >>62570485 might be your thing to some extent
>>62570682
but the type of people you mentioned who can't even spell the board properly are the type of people ruining everything
