That guy in the TikTok.. MatriarchMothra was part of a huge scandal where a girl killed herself over him. He has some wierd followers who obsess over him and one actually killed themselves when he rejected her and was rude to her when she randomly showed up to his house.... After he had made a mistake of challenging his fans to actually figure out where he lived... The guy is a huge POS
@@n0c0n3 yeah he cheated on his girl and he still is constantly obsessing over her and her new life as well... The guys a real POS.... I don't know how he has any followers. I think they mainly follow just to see the train wreck that he is. His comments are always filled with ppl attacking him..

I'm so glad you included someone who listens to the Cure - give them a chance Finn. They've been putting out amazing music for 40+ years and still doing it today. They've always done things their own way, and never gave up control to the "industry."
@•●CrePusculaRChiRoPterA●• they are an amazing band. Never bent to conform. Try Echo and the Bunnymen - masters. “The Killing Moon” is one of the best songs ever written.
Finn talks about how so many bands bend to conform to the industry. Nothing worse than a great band bending so much they become mediocre, at best. These older school bands never did, they stayed the course and are still putting out unique sounding music today.
emos already having kids? man, im 34, I was a teenager during the nu metal years and i have a 3yo kid. We need a couple more years for emo kids to have their own kids.
Okay this is one of the best videos in this category you make. I am equally ready and willing to allow the zoomers to harvest my minerals for nutritional sustenance.
"You can't have a Ska hat, a Black Metal T-shirt, Emo wrist bands, and skinhead shoes" Picture teenage Jack white in a fadora, Darkthrone shirt, Three Days Grace rubber wrist band, and colored laced combat boots. That was the big titty goth girl's boyfriend at my yeeyee high-school.
So I think the normie persecution complex started as a core of the community in the 60s with the hippies and continued through the 80 with the punks and even into the 90s with the ravers. I can say, as a former raver party kid, who is now 40 with a pretty big government job, that even by the 90s most of the “norm persecution” was gone… because the normies of the 90s were the hippies of the 60s. Just like the normies of today are the ravers, goths, punks, and emo kids of the past. We just grew up.
yo madeline pendleton was spitting straight facts. literal description of all the "alt" looking dudes in barcelona who don't actually listen to metal just techno
I do remember, back in the scene years, I saw this one kid dressed like he was Dick Tracy, immaculate in 1950's-60's corporate wardrobe without the slightest shred of irony - He completely owned it. That dude will be forever in my head as a true fashion outlaw.
I've got 5 kids, and my teenagers are listening to a bunch of different metal genres. It cracks me up that they like the same shit I did at their age. Also, I lol'd that someone finally found the unhinged tiktok of Social Repose. Yike.
YES! THANK YOU. it is an adjective, not a noun. at least, it was back in 2002-2006. Then mainstream media found out about it thanks to MCR and FOB and they started calling PEOPLE "emos". uggh. obnoxious. It's like calling hardcore kids "hardcores".
Video topic idea: Disney Channel Music (Jonas Brothers, Allstar Weekend, Mitchel Musso, Cody Simpson, Austin Mahone, Ross Lynch (& or R5), Hillary Duff, Zendaya, Bridget Mendler ect) Or you could also add or do a separate vid on Nickelodeon music (The Naked Brothers Band (& or Nat and Alex Wolff, Big Time Rush, Drake Bell, Jamie Lynn Spears, Miranda Cosgrove, Victoria Justice ect)
I somehow remember that matriarchmothra dude from a few videos I watched on youtube like a decade ago. I don't really remember anything about the videos other than that he went on a rant about Ronnie Radke in one of them. He was just one of those random channels I found while going down a rabbit hole one night while I may or may not have been on drugs.
Also, that madeline girl says "it's a California accent." BULLSHIT. I have lived all over the English speaking world, I have a pretty good ear for accents. I 100% heard some Pennsylvania or Maryland in there.
He gets a lot of excessive hate for cheating on a couple girls and wearing a feathery hat. That’s literally the worst things he’s done. These people that attack him constantly have way too much time on their hands and could be spending that same energy on far worse people on TH-cam.
Bro that is his own house in the back, he actually has a video about the whole process of he painting that house entirely black on his youtube channel lol
For your info, I DO have a bed frame but I just don’t have it set up cause it takes away a very necessary 6 and half inches from my square footage of mine and my 4 cats bachelor suite
I kind of miss seeing the Emo and goth kids. You could always find me in all black all the time. At least in New York..I don't see them around anymore...but I love seeing them when hanging in the Village
Cringe armour was up but some got through dam it! I daren’t put anything on tik tok - those kids would have me for breakfast. The vids were cringe but very smart and creative really. The 4 big guys came to my rescue with those lyrics - amazing Finn ta!❤
I have that yearbook lol that was vista Murrieta ca. I used to jam guitars with most of them and the second guy filmed my wedding. They were all super cool
I’m at an age where I don’t think I get to have a subculture. I’m very suburban dad during the week and take the kids to the family farm on the weekends.
Sugaring? We’ve come full circle. We black people coined these things 40 years ago. They’d say he ain’t sh!t. These are the baby daddies. These were also the broke guys LARPing as rappers, drug dealers, or thieves. They are now called dusties.
Zoomers really did do their research and that's even without access to the long since dead and gone, scene utopia of 2005-2009 myspace, and I'm kinda sad they can't see/experience the seemingly forever lost treasure trove of peak scene pfps.
The 2008 year book was Vista Murrieta, but it was 2009. I was a metalcore kid with a fro so I didn’t make the meme. What up to anyone that graduated with me.

As someone who graduated in 2008, I can confirm that highschool attire was never better than then. My yearbook looks exactly the same as this.

At least you guys missed the Jersey Shore era where all the girls looked like snooki and all the guys like Pauly D.
08! 🤘

Gen z simultaneously scares the shit out of me but also I'm so goddamn proud of them as a whole
It's beyond (Cringe) killing the mind away that at times I forget if it's Emo or Eboy to Egirl cringe mixed in between too inevitable at this point.

Been seeing Madeline’s TikTok’s on fyp for a while now, she always has good shit to say. Surprised you didn’t mention how short her bangs are 😂
i was a senior in high school in 08 and am about to be 33. i'm horrified that there are adults in the workforce that weren't even alive for 9/11
*Seriously.* *I am* *MORTIFIED AND OFFENDED.* 💯😨😰😱
That’s gotta be the best question to immediately know. Where were YOU on 9/11?
0:16 why doesn't Finn trust us enough to let us yell the cringe part? you know we'd do it, Finn?
Emos love that Goo Goo Dolls song, because of the lyrics. That's one of the reasons it became so popular at the time
Facts, also good melodies.
That song is a banger. Everyone loves it
That girl at 12:00 sounding so clever but she was tricked at least5-6times and you can tell
emos already having kids? man, im 34, I was a teenager during the nu metal years and i have a 3yo kid. We need a couple more years for emo kids to have their own kids.
I was a scene kid and now I have 2 children of my own.

It's our duty to sacrifice ourselves for them
I have to question the mental stability of somebody who dresses up as a giant bird to go to the park and shriek at his phone
"You can't have a Ska hat, a Black Metal T-shirt, Emo wrist bands, and skinhead shoes"
Picture teenage Jack white in a fadora, Darkthrone shirt, Three Days Grace rubber wrist band, and colored laced combat boots. That was the big titty goth girl's boyfriend at my yeeyee high-school.
I thought the "wrist check" was for cutting, honestly
One question: Why would you ever frame a poster versus thumb-tack it... unless it was signed by the artist(s)? :D
😂😂😂 This made my day!!! Love all your videos Finn. You’re the best in the game.
"The Goth Moth" got me, I'm fuxking dead, holy shit
Three minutes into the video and Finn once again reminds me of how old I am
Finn's reaction the "4 big guys" is the highlight of 2023 so far!
Noticed the MGS-sounds used in your Patreon ad today and I must say that it tickled my nostalgia bone.

Social Repose honestly doesn't even deserve to be talked about by this point
Anyone know the song in the "Questions I get asked as an Emo" tiktok?
At 5:07 - who's that attractive blonde stage right, Mckenty?
The wrist check comment was about seeing if she had cutting scars not bracelets.
If I saw that thing in the park I may shoot at it in fear for my life
Can we get a Madeleine Pendleton interview some day🥺

10:30 .. that was about cutting, not accessories !

Shoutout to emo.guy217 for the stellar Ally Sheedy cut. The Breakfast Club would be proud.
Acapella pig squealing videos in 240p are the true definition of culture.
They obviously failed Emo 101 and never learned that to be emo you deny being emo. Real emos identify as goth.
*OMG.* *I remember that $#!% !!!!* 😨😱
emo/ a noun ie: I was out doing emo this morning. OR. Me and my emo's were hanging at the park.
