This pulled songs out of the depths of my unconscious memory I thought I’d never hear again, this video was so nostalgic to me.
Genuinely, and pics that are burned into my brain because I used to be obsessed and look up/save every picture of him. So many forgotten memories 🥺
Facts
Couldn't say it better myself
This. So much this. 😭❤
ikr!!!!
brought back so many memories
Dude you’re a god for actually taking the time to make this lol This was such an era for so many of us, so it’s nice to be able to look back so comprehensively like this. So yeah thanks dude this is the shot.
Shit not shot lol
thank u so much!! im glad ur diggin it :)
Doing drugs getting face tattoos becoming a hippie. This kid was ahead of his time 😭🥰🔥
No, all that was happening when there was a scene for it
Ahead to the wrong thing.. as a mother of a 12 year old boy this is grinch
lsd was extremely popular and almost mandatory to do as a hippie in the 1960s
Ehhh no… he ruined himself… it’s sad. Nobody should aspire to be a drug addict and this behavior isn’t new.
I miss when boys wanted to grow up to be lesbians.
Hahaa yes exactly, me too!
im still one of them
haven't you seen e-boys?
@@yelimxor Eh. They actually just look like dudes with 1995 haircuts, with the 2010s fuck boy thing thrown in.
i like the androgynous look so, thats my excuse for appreciating boys prettier than myself. hahaha
Duuuude your whole channel is like a MySpace historian thank u so much for making these videos they're great to relive
thanks for watchin! :)
•Vietnam flashbacks•
Lmao
As a vietnamese, I agree
Dude was the real deal. A true musician. The songs that were written and recorded by him as a teenager. It’s insane how talented he was right from the start. His personal song writing style literally kick started an entire genre
Too bad drugs and the industry ruined him.
I can't believe I still got a thing for guys that look like nevershoutnever!
I've never related to something more in my entire life lmaooo Christofer Drew is the blueprint
hahaha same
wdym? there's nothing to be ashamed of there
So, testosterone-less cuckboys?
same lol it will never fade away
He walked so “welcoEm to mYe kitchiEn we got bonainies and ovocaiDeis” could run damn
LMAO
My eyeliner just came out of retirement for this video
Nevershoutnever’s lyrics definitely helped me realize that I’m a lesbian, because I too, had crushes on cute girls.
tf
Yung G! ?
Dont we all
no you was brainwashed.
Met Chris before the whole Bryan Stars interview, he was chill and chained smoked seemed like he needed a break, but was super nice.
Almost saw him in person but he got sick, so another local band had to fill in
me too! i met him at a party back when i was in high school
Same vibe you described when I met him when I was like 16
I resent him now. I got into drugs and smoking cause i thought it would give me a guy like him but I ended up with a drug problem and dating lots of men children who only cared about drugs. I hope he changes someday cause this is just immature at this point.
never shout ever started indie emo girl culture.. girls who liked to read books, smoke cigarettes and drink coffee never the less I wanted to be him so bad 😂
Holy shit.
yikes.
Gay.
Huh
Yes exactly
Why do I still know all the words to every song?!?!
Me af lol
I never even stopped listening and oh God I love him so much
same 😭 immediately started singing along after not hearing these bops for YEARS
@@SSH0LE. it was like instinct. Didnt even have to think of the words.
me too
this video made me feel like 2020 was a distant dream and i was safe back in simpler times
😢 ya
That’s just you getting older
Never shout never songs reached till Arunachal Pradesh , Northeast of India . Back in 2008-9 , when internet was really hard to find here. .
I remember my elder brother a Scene kid then introducing me his music &, I passed it to some of my friends via Bluetooth &, suddenly whole school had it playing within a week or month . Reaching every corner where even roads or electricity was not available
oh wow, that's really cool!! crazy how things can spread like that!
Thanks for sharing; that's cool to hear
Incredible man.
That’s super cool! Thanks for taking the time to share!
I went to an NSN concert with my friend when I was about 14. It was a huge deal to us because our dads agreed to let us go inside alone and they hung out at the restaurant across the street. I caught one of his guitar picks and I actually found it recently while emptying my childhood bedroom (parents are selling the house). I also just graduated from college a month ago, so needless to say it's been a nostalgic time. Thanks for the video!
*bar across the street* lol
Dude I didn’t think anyone else knew the depths of everything like I did and now I don’t feel like a stalker anymore
You still are a stalker. This guy just turned this into a job. 👻
@@shawnslawter9482 oh shush
@Maximum Tacobell ?
Alyssa Ruiz I fucking feel it. My mom hella didn’t let me have MySpace lmao (I’m 22 now... so😂) but I was obsessed. I can’t bring them up to anyone nowadays. 😒 well back then either. I guess being an outsider belongs with the esthetic 😂😂
*i miss 2009*
I don’t know why I’m here or where I am, but I’m here
Mood
"That's the thing about fate. You can't control it. Or escape it. *Insert picture of Escape The Fate*"
Dead.
Sorry this is 4 years later but IM SO GLAD SOMEONE IN THE COMMENTS NOTICED IT
Honestly we all try to put our scene days behind us because we never expected someone to investigate deeper than the questionable music and excessive use of xD youre doing some good work m'dude
Just found this channel and as a former emo kid, I'm living for it omg. It feels like an online college course in emo/scene history and holy fuck I'm feeling so nostalgic
I was obsessed with Chris and nsn thought he was the cutest thing ever, all your videos are like a time machine to my teenage self 😂 ❤️
So you’re not obsessed anymore? :(
YEAHHHH YOU SURE BROKE MY HEART LAST WEEK WHEN YOU SAID YOU HAD SLEPT WITH HIM ;_;
I KNOW YOU CALLED... I GOT THEM ALLL... LADA. DA. DA. DA DAAAH
Love him, still love him. He holds a special place in my heart.
same! still listen to them like everyday lol, and was also lucky to go to nsn's last ever tour
@@hazeldelatorre4179 Ahhhhh. That's so lucky. I'm glad you got to have that experience. :)
literally same. i'll go months without listening but when anyone asks, nsn is still my #1 band because i've just loved him for so long. ahhh so glad others still love him as much as i do lol
Brittany Garcia theyre still my #1 too haha
Sad how much he’s changed
I was so obsessed with Chris back then, I can’t believe I still listen to the same songs now that I used to back in 2008/2009
So my brother growing up was a friend of the drummer from Nevershoutnever. My brother always had dreams of being in a band of his own. Around 25 he moved out to the shit town of Joplin MO to pursue that dream be around those guys and he formed a band, played a couple shows, and shattered his knee doing a stage dive. Had to get a fucking knee replacement or some medal in his knee and was basically fucked for a long time on unemployment before having to move back home. He changed careers but still picks up his guitar every now and again. He never became a rockstar like he wanted to, but he did get to see some behind the scenes of bands like NSN and get a taste of what it must be like. I still kind of feel for him, but his life is good now.
It’s interesting to look back on bands like this and be reminded about how much he tried for a music career like that.
Ugh, I loved Chris!! Discovered him through MySpace with the song “BigCityDreams”. Went to first see him when I was just 17. Waited around for him after the show like the mega fan I was... he gave me a hug. 😆 and then hung around with us for a good while, he even helped me get away when this creepy dude around the venue started to hit on me and he could tell I was uncomfortable. This was the era when he wore the fuzzy hat. Ugh, those were the days!!
Holy shit, Eatmewhileimhot....I'm getting hardcore flashbacks over here.
RIGHT?!
Those were the days...
I discovered Christofer Drew and NeverShoutNever in January 2010, I was going to my local mall's Hot Topic, and he just so happened to be there having a meet and greet for the release of What Is Love. A couple years later, he showed up to do a mini show at another local mall on black friday of all days, it was chaotic as fuck lmao. Christofer Drew is an icon, I'll always be ride or die for Never Shout Never.
Hot Topic mall shows were always the best!! Thank you for a great throwback! 💜
Jesus, I forgot I knew so many of his songs. He was definitely an OG of the scene. I had a Myspace since 05, so I think I knew him pretty early on, but I know I definitely knew him by early 09 at least cause I remember my boyfriend at the time quoting his songs to me or something lmao. I didn't realize he was so young and early on in his career though. What a fuckin time to be alive it was back then. The small/local music scene was prime everywhere too. It was so easy for dudes like that to try to tour.
I was abnormally obsessed with never shout never. I BEGGED my dad to take me to the concert in 2011 and we drove 100 miles to go see it. But after time travel everything changed and i fell out of love with him because he seemed to get caught up in the drugs and the fame 😕 thank you for this video series.
Facts you aint lying got off him around time travel era also it was a turning point i didnt like that he got a band i liked him solo
Oh my, this brought back so many memories! I used to listen to NSN when I started high school in around 2014 and he was really the soundtrack of my life for a while, so it was really beautiful to know more about that time. Very well done video!
Gosh, this really takes me back. I remember seeing him at my local mall in Hot Topic for a meet and greet. Those were the days!!! Great video 👏🏽
I was obsessed with christofer drew
i made my school email with my name and his surname 😭😭😭
same
I was in a crowd durring a warped tour that Christopher Drew was preforming at and he laughed at his fan girls, made gross comments avout them, and dumped monster energy drinks all over everyone near the front. I've been in some gnarly crowds before but none of them have ever made me feel like I was going to die quiet like having my ribs crushed by hundreds of scene girls pushing to get closer to him.
Did their spiky teased hair poke your eyes too?
What kinda gross comments? He was probably high on something not that that's an excuse but he's a lot older now with a kid and probably doesn't act like this anymore.
I remember 2016 I watched him preform at warped tour ... after the concert there was a meet and greet. We sat in the blazing hot sun for an hour waiting for him to come out because he was smoking weed- he came out high af and looked extremely unhealthy (super thin, pale, etc) we also had to speed up the meet and greet (I imagine because he was gonna pass out lol?) didn’t even say hi to hardly anyone- anyway I hope he has his life together and doin better nowadays :( sucks to see your childhood idol like that for the first time
The monster energy at warped tour is called tour water it’s just canned water
He probably doing more drugs because if he was just smoking weed his eyes would be low and that’s about it. Held look healthy from all the food he’s eating.
Most of you are probably people that inject five marjanwanas
Dude this video is awesome. Never shout never was a huge influence on me. He's was our main inspiration for our band and we ended up opening for him in San Francisco on his Time Travel tour. Our band won a contest set up by alternative press magazine where we were voted best acoustic duo in the bay area and got featured in the magazine (AP&R) and got to open for Chris when he came to town. We opened for a few of our favorite bands at the time like Dance Gavin Dance, the scene aesthetic and the story so far but never shout never was a huge deal for us. Good era to look back on. Thanks for the dope video!
Aaron Cone I live in Oakland where did y’all perform
@@istoleyurcookie100 we preformed at the bottom of the hill, the DNA Lounge, gilman street and the red house in walnut creek.
What was the band called
Just reading the comments have brought me to the myspace vibe/era. Thanks guys for bringing the good old times.
This has pulled me into the depths of 2008 emo culture I thought I had grown out of
Nope . It’s still in me .
Such a well documented video on Christopher Drew. Dont know how this isnt bigger than what it is, I can tell you put a lot of hard work into this.
almost three months in to quarantine and I've stumbled across this... it's brought me so much joy! I met chris when I was 10 (I was doing the same John Lennon tribute gig as him), then again when I was 18 after being a consistent fan of him. He's hugely inspirational to me, as cheesy as this older stuff can be. I still am even through his sometimes erratic social media behavior and album announcements. Great video and I can't wait to watch more!!
Anyone else watching this even though you already know the whole story?? Just to reminisce...
lay there for hours and just.. reminisce!
Thank you for your videos, I genuinely enjoy the nostalgia they give me. Even though most people cringe at and want to forget their emo or scene phases, I find it fun to be reminded of these people we use to look up to and see how they’re doing now etc.
My second day watching all your videos now, i can’t believe how informed you are on all of these videos. Your research is so concise!
You’re killin it with these vids, dude. Keep it up!
thank u so much!!! i appreciate you :)
This just showed up on my recommended list and was so thrilled! I was definitely a fan back in middle school/high school and this really brought me back to those days! I really enjoyed this video and hope you keep making similar content, would be nice to see what ended up happening with all the myspace era musicians and emo kids :)
This channel is absolute gold. I can’t even begin to thank you for documenting our teenage years. It’s so nostalgic to binge these videos. My heart hurts for these times. The world would be so much better if we want back to times like this.
im legit having so many nostalgic flashbacks I didnt think I'd ever get. I was like 11-12 when I was into this music. Theres so many songs and artists in this video I thought I forgot but were just locked away in a vault in my memory jesus. I remember I even learned guitar just to play Nevershoutnever.
I felt the strongest connection to you when you said on of your favorites is "she's got style" as it is mine as well
the enthusiasm this guy has me SHOOK!!!!! i thought i was the only one still THIS passionate about nsn man !!!!! incredible content thank u
Man this is like exploring my old self. I love your videos and how in depth you go. Makes me so nostalgic to the NSN days back in middle school and early high school. Never Shout Never was a cultural reset. Hahaha
I love these videos dude. They make me feel less depressed and very nostalgic. The MySpace era was such a great time for me and I’m stoked I was able to be a teenager during it all. I personally never got into NSN, but I remember how HUGE this kid was. I’m glad you made these videos homie.
The good ole MySpace days. I remember nevershoutnever.
I super rarely comment on TH-cam videos, kinda just watch 'em, leave a like or a dislike, and move on, but I gotta say: You put in a lot of work into editing your videos. It's a wonder why you don't have more subscribers than you do (182 as of writing.. Hey, ain't that a cool number?) but I'm sure they'll all come in time.
If I could suggest -one- thing that doesn't at all have to do with your content, though: Your videos are all shot in front of a door, and there are some things to the side of you, and I get it if you don't have much room to record, but if you can find a way to record in front of a blank wall (maybe a book case of something off to the side, like TheNeedleDrop) it'd help sell your presentation more
But, as it stands, great content. You don't really have to change anything about the way you gather resources for your content, or how you deliver it. Either way, given that it's hard to put ads on content that have copyrighted material, maybe you should make a Patreon or something
hey! thank you so much for the kind words and the thoughtful comment, it means a lot!!! those are great tips, i will for sure take it into consideration! definitely thinking about making a Patreon at some point :) thanks for watching and once again, thanks for the kind words! i appreciate it!
4000+ now. so happy he’s growing because he’s a great video creator!!
Right, I noticed the lack of ads. Would totally support your Patreon etc. Whatever keeps the videos coming! LOVE the way you pull them together. THANK YOU!
16k now. Jesus Christ that’s some growth.
Dude, I can't thank you enough for these videos you make. I always enjoy watching them as it takes me down a trip of memory lane. I loved the Bryan Stars, BOTDF, and Jonny Craig videos also. I think after this one I'm gonna go watch the SWS video. I was super involved with the crunkcore/warped tour groups when I was younger. So, these videos are super addicting to watch. It's like the inner scene-kid in me awakens, and it's super nostalgic. Keep up the awesome work, man. Can't wait to see what else you have in store.
I think about this a lot and I really miss the MySpace/“emo, scene” era of music. I feel like I was constantly finding new music and internet friends who would show me music that I didn’t know about yet
YOU GOT ME WITH THAT ESCAPE THE FATE THROW IN 😂😂😂 bro I died. Amazing video. Brought back my old scene feels
In middle school I would literally sit and watch nevershoutnever! lyric videos for hours. I created my email in 5th grade and still use it as my main email because it’s my full name without any numbers or extra crap in it, and up until like a year ago (literally at 22 years old) I had “I LOVE NEVERSHOUTNEVER!
I know I’m four years late but this is hilarious.
this video and the bryan stars video you made are going to blow up, and you're going to blow up. Good job! I can't wait to see how you evolve as a channel.
I'm from scotland and never had Myspace how did I still have this phase for almost 5 years
He invaded tumblr Facebook and instagram too
It's cool to see you & others make videos about the 2010s alt scene. My middle school days for sure. I don't know how I got on this side of TH-cam but I'm glad I did.
Great job ❤❤
This brought back so many memories as many of your videos do...I lived in the midwest between 2006-2013. I was in highschool during the rise AND peak of the myspace scene/Glamour kills days...Good times!!!!
Super in depth and informative video. This whole 2 part video was put together and edited very well. Thank you for the effort you put into this and the quality documentation of a genre that is often left overlooked.
Lol saw your profile pic and wanted to say Turnover is aMaZiNg
@@chsny5695 dude yes
Going even further into my childhood I guess. what a time! I swear I watched every single TH-cam video I could find of him back then.. but whoa, does anyone remember Letters and Lights? That part where you played some old nsn and then rocket to the moon and owl city totally reminded me of them. Anywaysssss waiting for part 3 still lol good job man you’re going places with these videos!
thanks so much for watching! :)
@@thecozyrep I remmeber letters and lights!!
Came here from your Jonny Craig video. Love going down this memory lane. Great job!
You're so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and have a really pleasant voice and presentation style.
Idk how this was in my recommended but it's like youtube knew I wanted some nostalgia and while I didn't personally follow nevershoutnever this was still super nostalgic in a weird way and one of Christofers display photos threw me back because I vividly remember having him as a friend on myspace and chatting to him (or most likely someone who stole his photo and was using it to catfish lol). I'm super glad this video popped up because its led me to your other videos which are great! Thank you for all the effort you go through and thoroughness of your videos!
i love rebinging this series a couple of times a year thank you so much for making the perfect trip down memory lane
Dude, I am completely grateful to you for making this video, since I discovered NSN 11 years ago, it became an important part of my life and growth, it defined many things in it, being able to go back in time in this way is just amazing, THANK YOU !
This was sooo fun for me to watch. When I stopped using MySpace my screen name was “nevershoutCarly”. I saw him in concert only once but at the time he was the love of my life. This is weird because I thought I discovered him through trouble, but I remember 30 days to Christmas coming out and listening to it immediately. So now I’m not sure how I discovered him afterall. The passing time song you played was so far in my memories I barely remembered it. Thank you for making this!!
i used to be obsessed with him and this style of music back in my middle school and early high school years. im 25 and his music (well, the early ones) still holds dear in my heart :')
I'm 26 and girllll I used to live for his music 🔥
MEEEE!
i had a girlfriend in 2007 who was catfished by someone posing as this guy.
I’m so happy the algorithm kept pushing your channel on me! I can’t thank you enough for making these videos and putting so much work into them. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! Brings me right back 😁
Can you please do a history on Breathe Carolina?
Yesss
You just hit a memory bank that i forgot about thank you
Oh god I don’t even know if I’m ready to see this, I was so attached to them they’re all I listened to
David still makes EDM music under breathe Carolina but just without Kyle because he has a kid now. They used to be my favorite band and I had the biggest crush on David but they’re new stuff sound very polished but it’s all EDM
I was obsessed with them
I’ve just gotten into your content over the past few days, I’m loving it, it’s very enjoyable and the nostalgia is so real ❤
i literally cried watching this, i am 30 now but i have listened to this guy since highschool i mean its my EMAIL address.... i love NSN it saved me with his upbeat lyrics im still a scene kid at heart
Love your videos man! Nostalgia all day! Keep these great videos coming brother :)
omg. WHAT A BLAST FROM THE PAST... and then i see all your videos!!! god, i am so excited to watch all of these. thank you for your time and effort that you've put into these!
Finding this video like: Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Did it hurt just to know i was right here waiting?
I have an immense amount of respect for you. The amount of research and how well you presented this timeline. You’re the channel I’ve been searching for for the past year. I subbed.
Update: 10 mins and the nostalgia and memories are bringing a grown man to tears
Thank you for making this video, it made my day. It made me reminisce of the past in a positive away. And by this, I realized that in mt teenage years, music was there for me when nobody was. I used to listen to NSN a lot so remembering them made me smile.
Thank you so much for making these videos. It brought back so many memories and was so nostalgic for me.
Christofer Drew was like my version of today's preteen's love for Jacob Sartorius. Hell I got a peace sign tattooed on my foot when I was 16 because I loved his music so much at the time lol. I'm happy I've grown up since then, but man does this video bring back memories hahah
Loved the escape the fate reference. I love your positivity and feel good vibe. Keep up the great work dude!!!
Bruh idk why it took so long for your channel to get recommended to me. This was such a trip, nsn was one my favorite bands growing up.
THANK YOU for making this. So well put together and we all needed this trip down memory lane
You seem so happy making this video and it's honestly so nice to see
Bless you for making this. This is dredging up some feelings I love and hate. I may also add, his songs were very cute, easy-listening, and he was the epitome of this "Myspace era" look. All the girls wanted to be with him. He was so desirable for us. What the fan base was looking for a long time.
MySpace was a great time. Fully personalized pages allowed for a great way to fully express one's self. Also there were some horrible ones lol.
I remember, one day I got a message from someone promoting their band, gave it a listen and was blown away at as it was the first time I really heard post-hardcore material. It was from Beau Burchell, from Saosin!
He asked if I'd I would like to buy a copy, and I was just in 9th grade. I told him I didn't have any money but I loved what I heard, I couldn't afford it. He asked where I lived, sent me a signed copy with everyone's signature & told me dont worry about it! Just show it to all my friends and come to a show when they came around. I've loved them, sincerely, ever since! (I know, I didnt know him and giving away my address could have been bad, lol. But I'm glad I did) ❤
TH-cam started recommending a bunch of video essay channels talking about tumblr and myspace and its such a trip. Of course theres people talking about that time!!!! Why didnt i think to look before!!!
I couldn't help but sing along to all these songs. thank for you for this.
Wow you know everything about chris man i appreciate it!!!!!!!
haha i try!! thanks for watchin :)
I found your Part 2 video and came back :)
This was the era of music I grew up on, all the bands that never made it to the radio but are cult classics for a certain group.
Thank you for making these videos🖤
This week has been garbage and I was really happy to find such a well edited and informative video. Plus you’re really easy to listen to.
When we transitioned from tYpInG LyKe ThIs to: TYPINGLIKETHIS.
This entire video was like a trip back in time. Every word you said seemed to pull out a new memory out of the depths of my mind. Even the reference to photobucket...I completely forgot that website existed.
i never thought id hear someone speak about nsn this in debt who wasnt me LOL i’m so glad this video exists
I rarely comment but you're the best! Thank you for taking your time and effort into this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope your channel gets more attention that it deserves. :)
I was hit with so much nostalgia i now need reconstructive surgery. Thanks, this is such a good video, and you are so charming and nice to listen to!
I'll never forget how when I was in my NSN replica stage, recording cute love songs, I got a comment from Caleb Denison on Myspace saying my song was good and had good production. It was a pretty cool moment.
But yeah, decided to re-explore these videos again. Not sure if you'll see this, cuz this video is getting older, but love the work you've done bro. Been watching for a while now.
