I got into emo music when emo died. And love it all. I don't dress emo. I don't feel the need to wear 17 layers of guy liner. I just want to sing and scream these songs with every other 23-35 year old.

I honestly feel like people either forgot the whole 2008 emo era or were not old enough to experience it. Emo back then was HEAVILY criticized by everyone back then. It wasn’t as popular and wildly accepted as it is today.
These "punks" would've been beaten up themselves for their looks, had they lived when their own subculture was new!! What a bunch of narcissistic chickenshit hypocrites. These people need to get over themselves, live and let live.
@@holliisixx hell they did, some did. Just like hippies and ppl of anyother subculture have. They've all had infighting in these groups too for various reasons, clash of personalities, being a "poser" etc
My husband is 62, and I am 52. We both grew up as "punks." Bands like The Dead Kennedys, The Ramones, JKA, Black Flag, and Bad Brains were (and still are) our mainstays. We actually really liked the "EMO" style. It was reminiscent of the punk style. We see nothing wrong with expressing your feelings through songs and clothes....the only thing wrong with it is posers that did it just because it was "in" and trendy at the time. At our ages, we still love our black clothes, music, and band shirts and still don't conform to society's "norms" for our age. Be who you want to be, dress how you want to dress, listen to what you want to.....life is too short, enjoy yourself! (fyi, not all punks, goths, and emos are depressed, self-hating, school-shooting, lunatics.)
Music trends... My niece wore a Raymond's tee shirt when she was twelve, because her friends were doing the same, even though she'd never heard of them.
@@AReallyLongAndUnremakableUser , true that, I see a lot of iconic band names and logos, ZOSO, AC/DC, RUN DMC, Ramones etc. on t-shirts being worn by kids who never heard of any of them.
I once wore a black o-ring on my thumb as an act of emo defiance to school. I was convinced I was sticking it to the man (and the uniform policy). I was actually just wearing a black o-ring on my thumb.

Now emo nostalgia turned into some of e-girls/e-boys aesthetics: dyed hair, striped shirts, love for black colours and dark memes full of irony, what goes around comes around since forever
You must of not been old enough to experience the “emo” trend in 2008. The same way you feel about the whole e girl and boy movement is exactly how everyone felt about “emo” back in 2008. We all thought it was cringe and they were all a joke.
tbh you never really grow out of a phase, I'm a teen just getting into emo music and the aesthetic but i had a k-pop phase 2 years ago and never really grew out of it, i still enjoy a few k-pop songs and keep a few in my playlist
@@siroshcelot he actually unintentionally forced the other members to quit because hes a toxic person, realized he couldnt maintain that genre anymore, and sold out for Frozen 2.
I still remember my mom saying. "Emo is short for Demo, which means Demon in english." Little does she know today I actually know english and am a Demoman main
I remember everyone in class calling me "emo" after being caught self-harming. I wasn't but it still meant the guidance counsellor gave me a lecture on peer pressure with no follow-up whatsoever.
E-boy/E-girl is just emo with an internet filter. It has been modernized with similar aesthetics & mannerisms as emo. One can argue that E-boy/E-girl is more sexualized perhaps.
It's like the bastardize evolution of emo, they made it more "a e s t h e t i c", fashionable, and mainstream. While the original also was a little bit attention seeker at the core, the new one is all about that, they also unify mostly by aesthetics and not so much for views of the world or values as the og emos. Yes mom, it was a phase, you were fucking right.
oh god, you made me remember one of the weirdest happenings involving emos in Mexico City, there was this showdown, they coordinates to meet at one place and beat the shit out of each other, emos vs punks, they fought for a while then in one of the most surreal things ever recorded, a group of hare krishnas came out of the subway chanting and playing music, apparently everyone got so confused and the situation defused. even one of my then friends appeared in one of the video clips
@@kittykittybangbang9367 Do you really not know that, or are you just being sarcastic? I mean, blonde hair has typically (in 20th century West) been regarded as more luxurious and sexy - even if a bit of airheads, but 50s men didn't seem to much care about that, or even saw it as a bonus. "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and all that. I mean, as a bi woman, I don't really get that, as I prefer black or brightly coloured hair.
Most of the emo kids in my day went to being scene . It's emo but happier, cooler and more fun to be around. I'm surprised I didn't hear a single " RAWR XD" in this.
As far as "RAWR", if you're an OG emo you'll know that was mostly screamo (closer to emo, bands like BMTH album There Is a Hell) and scene (I didn't fully understand it, my younger sister did though, bands like BOTDF).
I personally couldn't stand scene kids. They all promoted disordered eating, dated much older dudes, and did hard drugs. I didn't find any of them friendlier and none of them were genuinely happy. Usually just bitchy because they were insecure and coping with bad choices, like being taken advantage of by men in their late 20s. Bright colors don't equal happiness.
I've never hung out with a more supportive group of people as when I was on the emo scene back in 2006. Come as you are, with your virtues or faults, in your highs or your lows, with your sins and shortcomings; just be here, get a hug, and feel safe and comfortable!
I think the idea of goths hating the world mainly comes from the "depressed goth kid" stereotype. It's the depression, not the goth. The core philosophy of goth doesn't leave a lot of room for hate, as it's more about embracing and seeing beauty in things that repel most people.
It seems to be making a decently sized comeback lately. I've also never understood why emo got so much hate for having songs about their emotions when every single other genre does the exact same.
The reason people hated the music was because people hated the fans. In hindsight, the music was fine. It’s the fan girl hysteria that ruined it for everybody who wasn’t like them.
@@conors4430 Right. I remember emos hating school and sports, dragging their feet through life and being judgmental of normal people. Nobody likes that.
@@danfontaine8179 Only because everyone judged us first. To be angry with the world you need to get hurt by it first. Even if we were normal teens, we would've still be hated.
One of the emo kids in my middle school brought his CD of The Black Parade on its launch day to school and showed it to literally everyone, bragging about how he bought it that morning and already listened to it.
You’re clever and funny. Never stop making videos man. Everything is good. This is a bottom of the heart compliment, so take it to the heart!! The videos are also super well balanced.

I was heavy in the punk/hardcore/emo scene in the early 00’s (pre-MCR) when bands like Thursday, Finch, and Dashboard Confessional were blowing up. I was in a band at the time and I was at a show and was talking to a member of a band that kinda blew up a little during the emo explosion. I happened to ask him where he got his jeans from because I couldn’t find any that fit well enough and he told me he got them from the teen girls’ section. He was dead serious. He rocked the fuck outta them jeans and I never had the balls to shop in the girls’ section.
I played bass in a covers band too. It was in the lates 80's early 90's. We did the first part for nirvana in Montreal, Quebec, Canada the first time they came in Montreal. It was in April 1990. Don't remember the exact date. I was replacing the band baseman. Still have their autographed T shirt. It was in small bar-café called les foufounes électriques ( the electric butts) will never forget that. Dave Grohl was the Most talkative but they were all very nice. Spent a part of the night partying with them. Nice memories.
Coincidentally, 06/06/2006 was the date of the probably most reknown events in RuneScape, an mmorpg. That day, the Falador massacre began. It was caused by a glitch. It happened when someone was in a Player-owned house, duking it out in the combat ring, and being forcibly kicked oug of said house, while still retaining the option to attack other playes. But as it was a safezone, they couldn't fight back. And upon death, you would lose all of your items bar 3 most valuable + 1 if you had the protect item prayer on.
I had the exact same thought, I'm surprised anyone else remembers. I remember watching a montage of it set to a Nightwish song in the early days of TH-cam
Honestly my "Emo phase" was the best time when I was a teenager! I had a lot of fun, met nice people and tried a lot of hairstyles hehe. No one did drugs or anything criminal... We may have looked a little crazy but ...we actually were the nicest people :)
@@FilmsNerf2 No, you could argue he was a nihilist but he argued against it, people seem to think he celebrated the decline of Christianity but he clearly dreaded it and saw it as the beginning of the end
I once heard about emo culture, "Of course they are nowhere to be seen, a culture about suicide isn't going to have much lifespan." That being said, I've been a goth for a while.
As a fellow Goth I am just watching this video to understand what my emo friend is all about. Still Panic at the disco is not as good as list tons of goth bands.
I miss the old emo scene, when I was growing up I saw the "scene kids" sort of morphing and evolving from emo, pastel colours and stuff. That didn't last long though and little did I know at the time that was really the last alternative culture. Nowadays there's literally no alternative scene. Ultra conformity has spread it's disease amongst Gen Z where in almost all of them are completely indistinguishable. A horrible blend of the dead remains of cultures from before with nothing that stands out. It's truly sad but I think emo was truly the last alternative culture. I miss the days where sub cultures existed and people could be unique.
I used to be an "emo" bc I thought it was cool, but the thing is, I was very chubby so just kinda looked like Rosie o donnel got hit by an mcr merch truck
The Black Parade is actually a brilliant album. Sure, it's angsty and a bit overtly dramatic at times, but the music is actually really well written. One of the few albums I still listen to from when I was a 14-year old awkward boy. Now I'm merely an awkward man.
Honestly, I think it’s a pretty great album too. And it was really fun to revisit while researching this vid...other music from this era though, may have been better to have left in my memory.
I was too young and square to really get into anything emo, but purely as a rock fan, MCR has got some great stuff. I’ve listened to Three Cheers, The Black Parade, and Danger Days, and all those albums are great in their own ways. They’re one of those bands where the genre they played was almost incidental, like they could (and often did) play something totally different if they felt like it. Their influences were diverse, Queen and David Bowie being some of the most often cited, but also definitely some metal and even psychedelic rock. That’s why it’s easy for me to take them seriously. They weren’t just an emo band; they were a great band that played music that emo kids were into.
This style was called "scene" in my area. The emo kids here would wear low rise boot cut girl jeans, band shirts, converse and had long hear and thick framed glasses.
From my memory scene and emo were different. Emo was more drab and colorless and scene was all bubble-gum death. Just being a little emo shit but wearing bright pastel colors
Emos and scenes was different my guy. Emo kids were the emotional goths and scene kids were fluorescent emos. I was a emo that turned scene, I loved colour as much as I loved black.... Haven't looked like that in 10 years, yet I'm still dead inside. Huh.
Did it never occur to us that, for a culture of people largely defined by their sadness and dissatisfaction with life, bullying and mocking them relentlessly might’ve been the very last possible thing they needed?
Funny you mentioned that, when i was going to school during this time i remember a house had a bunch of Emu's for some reason right next to the school and we used to call them emos as a joke 🤪
I was never truly emo, but early on when I was 12 and starting to get into alternative sub cultures my look was based on it, because I liked the aesthetic. But I never identified with any specific group because I liked all of it. Now I'm 28, my style has changed drastically and I still don't identify with any specific group lol.
@bonea 84ua nah they kinda merged and it's annoying the eboys think they are goth but the goths don't think they are eboys but they are grouped together like south park with vampire's and goths
Nah peep and eboys are basically the modern incarnation of scene. But it guess then we have to admit the scene grew out of referring to non-goth subcultures as "the scene" which then makes everything scene? Idk it's easier to say they are all just parts of alternative culture, rather than try to only pair specific things to together.
@@smulGIANT Lil Peep fans calling themselves goth because they wear a black thrasher hoodie (can't skate though) and black vans just makes me cringe. Gothic music sounds nothing like emo trap, the scenes are completely different.
Emo ain't exactly dead. The fourth wave brought many awesome bands like Camping in Alaska, Tiny Moving Parts, Modern Baseball and my personal fav, TWIABP&IANLATD. Oh, and there are bands/people that grew up listening to My Chem and bring that emo style to other genres, like Yung Blud or Lil Peep.
wait, wtf, i thought this channel already had like 500k subs? i swear, i hadn't even been looking at the view counts until this comment. i feel like i'm being gaslighted right now
Dude! I literally yelled when I saw him! Then my gf asked what was up and I realized that the significance of this event which was so exciting to me would be nearly impossible to explain to someone else lol.
The next wave of emo after the mall core stuff got emo closer to its roots. 4th Wave Emo Revival has some amazing music that harkens back to the American Football, Cap'n Jazz, and Promise Ring type sounds. Check out Snowing, Algernon Cadwallader, Tiger's Jaw, Joyce Manor, Marietta, and Modern Baseball just to name a few great bands from this era.
@@FishwicksREAL Yeah. The difference is that Emo puts a greater emphasis on introspectivity and pseudointellectualism, whereas Goth is more about expression and counterculture. That's as simply as I can put it, though.
emos definitely making a comeback (and also the black parade is an incredible album you bite your tongue), because teens and young adults today really have a fascination with the early 2000s culture they grew up with but maybe couldnt experience to the fullest. that’s especially why the y2k aesthetic is so popular now, people grew up seeing mean girls and legally blonde and trl and all that stuff and looking back feel kind of like they wish they weren’t babies or children during the peak of that so they could experience it. you .... could argue that the trend of e-girls is similar in that it is an internet based youth subculture and definitely has taken inspiration from emo fashion, but ultimately the e trend was considerably shorter lived and isn’t a music based subculture in the same way the emo scene heavily revolves around the music.
While i agree with most of the stuff and also don't like the whole e-girl culture, i must point out one thing. Most of the people in e-culture were actually heavily based in music, mainly listening to indie music or emo rap/trap metal. Those two camps also varied heavily in looks and world view. The latter was a lot bigger, being influenced by the likes of Lil Peep, XXXTentacion, Uzi, $uicideboy$, and lesser known artists like Lil Darkie or Scarlxrd.
@@haeilsey lol all that shit is boring pretentious indie rock that's ripping off the actual """emo revival""" that happened from like 2008-2012 (Street Smart Cyclist, Algernon Cadwallader, The Reptilian, L'antietam, empire! empire!(I was a lonely estate), oh my god elephant, Girlfriends, Castevet, Two Knights, The Exploration, My Heart to Joy, Everyone Everywhere, Hightide Hotel, Prawn, Dikembe, Grown Ups, Joie De Vivre, The Hotel Year, football,etc.) before the term got co-opted by the indie/alt music press just like 'emo' did back in the 90s.
@@andymccoy8370 it's funny cause Jim Adkins from Jimmy Eat World says the same thing about emo: "when we were growing up emo...meant punk rock and screaming hardcore" now it's all pop punk and soft indie rock that gets called "emo" and it started with their band. They knew they weren't emo! They all knew emo was hardcore! They were part of that scene and told people, but the media still spread the mainstream narrative of emo meaning sad depresso whiner rock. SAD! PS for some emo bands Jimmy Eat World grew up with: check out Indian Summer, Current, Julia, Christie Front Drive, Cap'n Jazz, Braid, Lazycain, Four Hundred Years, Sleepytime Trio, Maximilian Colby, Dahlia Seed, Strictly Ballroom, Boilermaker, Nuzzle, Ordination of Aaron, Amber Inn, Broken Hearts are Blue.
I still remember on the "emo" age pretty fondly. I like the style and I'll pretty much always get people asking me "are you emo?" I just say "I'm me". Idk, it's just one of those things I got into really young and it just stuck, felt like I finally found a certain type of music and dress that just fit me. Whether people like it or not, it's just best to be yourself or you'll be miserable trying to become something you're not for the approval of other people that can't accept you as you are.
The city I live in had this goth/emo club that eventually moved into this really beautiful old theater downtown. The theater itself held a lot of memories for me. The music they'd play there was a lot of industrial and really hard techno. The best part was people would dress up really elaborately and everyone danced like the world was ending. No judgement, no fighting, just dance and vodka. You would have liked that place.
in my teens, I was labeled "emo", and I kinda agreed with it. Now I'm just an average looking 22-year old alcoholic who is still very emotional and full of despair but I can, without a doubt, say that the internal suffering "emo" tried to show off is, in fact, not "a phase".
Well, while of course in some cases it’s not „just a phase“, for the majority it is just that. Just as much as it was with goth, punk, hipsters, hippies or any other subculture. Most people eventually move on when they get older, that’s just how it is.
Same. As much as I love The Black Parade emo goes much deeper than MCR and Paramore. It's nice to see a guy who's clearly done his research into my favorite genre of sad white people music.
I would NEVER be embarrassed to be caught singing any song on the Black Parade. Still in my top five favorite albums ever and I was never even an Emo kid.
Dated the only chick in my school that fit that description for a month, she dumped me and proceeded to sleep around with literally anyone that gave her the time of day. I dodged a bullet there.
@@DarkArmedDaddy1 If you can pull E-Girls or Goth/Art hoes (which is what I've done recently) they're essentially the same personality archetypes in bed. Though E-Girls are pretty damn close in terms of overall style, I've been leaning heavily towards Goth women as of late. I picked one up after a dark Minimal Techno set and I'll never be the fucking same lmao.
As a teen I remember being a emo, a wierd mix of shame and pride. It is just a community with a Gothic and Punk inspired aesthetic that rallied around talking openly about mental health when it was taboo and not taken seriously. About guys opening up about their emotions, vulnerabilities, and feminine side. About accepting accepting LGBT. Not because we had an exact goal in mind, just following the urge to explore a side of ourselves in a way society would not allow us to. A lot of us didn't expect to stay emo growing up. We were just pushing the envelope. So when society snapped back at us, we could at least reclaim some space for ourselves to talk about our differences and the emotional turmoils that society was so fervently against and called us weak for. But we supported eachother. Even our most awkward of our community.
I was totally emo back then also, but not quite into the sub-cultural aesthetic (although I PROUDLY rock emo aesthetic today). It was a freaking hell hole of anxiety and depression, not necessarily because of all the internal emotions, but the external forces trying to crush you as, like you said, LGBT and mental health stigmas. Also, emo/scene aesthetic instantly removes 15-20 years off your age visibly. I go from not getting carded at all to "this ID is so far off age-wise, it would be ridiculous to fake, but I still think you're barely 21".
"his attackers are running around looking for more emos" sorry man that had me dead 😂 it's like Ian mackaye just walking around like "give...me...emos...my precious"
Come to think of it I don’t even remember hearing the word emo until the second half of 00’s. Goth was the blanket term for anyone into black clothes who thought they were a wizard or some shit
@@danfontaine8179 I agree.... there wasn't really any specific music goths listened to. And the fashion of emos was like skater mixed with punk mixed with goth. I'm aware they are two different subcultures but like I said.... I call them all goths cause I'm an old person now... Almost 40!
Im 16 and my mom is a bit young. Some of my earliest memories was of my mom taking us to Hot Topic and searching for all the sailor moon and other anime related, cause she liked that stuff! The coolest thing to me was how dark and emo everything was! It was the only form of pop culture i've seen so I remember being in love with studded belts, dyed hair and high kneed converse and thought thats what the cool kids were like! I had to have been about 4 or 5 at the time! Me, my dad and some of his friends would go to hot topic too and sometimes i got to get toys and snacks if i could find any!
You've got some awesome parents. My mother used to be punk in her days, and listened to The Prodigy (her favorite song was Smack my B*tch Up), but she grew out of it by the time I was born and now she's just like every other parent. My father was always too conservative though.
The emo physical image has gone into history but let's all be honest, we all have that one emo playlist on spotify that after all the years have passed still gives us the chills and a feeling of deja vu.

9:50 o shit, the Mexican emo riots! I forgot about that. I also remember an awesome video with purposely incorrect translations. "Riot police discussed the use of tear gas, but this was deemed unnecessary since the emos were already crying"
Because of this video I listened to The Black Parade for the first time in my life. I was way too old back then to be affected by youth culture but goddamn, that album just made me cry like a bitch.
@@conors4430 yeah honestly this is a better definition of what like modern day e-culture is than like 99% of emo's history. And modern day e-culture is cringe bc it like fetishises all of the difficult topics early emo was addressing (not to say early emo didn't take itself WAY too seriously).
damn, according to this, emo was already in decline when i found it around 2007. I thought i was a part of its peak. truly i was still in elementary school 6-6-06 and had no idea :(
Yeah, you just came in on the end. It’s mainstream popularity peaked and died with the black parade and Paramore and Twilight. Then nobody could take any more not even the bands

@@holliisixx hell they did, some did. Just like hippies and ppl of anyother subculture have. They've all had infighting in these groups too for various reasons, clash of personalities, being a "poser" etc
My husband is 62, and I am 52. We both grew up as "punks." Bands like The Dead Kennedys, The Ramones, JKA, Black Flag, and Bad Brains were (and still are) our mainstays. We actually really liked the "EMO" style. It was reminiscent of the punk style. We see nothing wrong with expressing your feelings through songs and clothes....the only thing wrong with it is posers that did it just because it was "in" and trendy at the time. At our ages, we still love our black clothes, music, and band shirts and still don't conform to society's "norms" for our age. Be who you want to be, dress how you want to dress, listen to what you want to.....life is too short, enjoy yourself! (fyi, not all punks, goths, and emos are depressed, self-hating, school-shooting, lunatics.)
You're the best kind of people.

E-boy/E-girl is just emo with an internet filter. It has been modernized with similar aesthetics & mannerisms as emo. One can argue that E-boy/E-girl is more sexualized perhaps.
yes
It's like the bastardize evolution of emo, they made it more "a e s t h e t i c", fashionable, and mainstream.
While the original also was a little bit attention seeker at the core, the new one is all about that, they also unify mostly by aesthetics and not so much for views of the world or values as the og emos.
Yes mom, it was a phase, you were fucking right.
And emo was the bastardised version of goth

"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and all that. I mean, as a bi woman, I don't really get that, as I prefer black or brightly coloured hair.
Most of the emo kids in my day went to being scene . It's emo but happier, cooler and more fun to be around. I'm surprised I didn't hear a single " RAWR XD" in this.
I have tbh. The scene look is more fun than black and white.
As far as "RAWR", if you're an OG emo you'll know that was mostly screamo (closer to emo, bands like BMTH album There Is a Hell) and scene (I didn't fully understand it, my younger sister did though, bands like BOTDF).
“Scene iz just emo with more pink”
-meh, a scene kid
I personally couldn't stand scene kids. They all promoted disordered eating, dated much older dudes, and did hard drugs. I didn't find any of them friendlier and none of them were genuinely happy. Usually just bitchy because they were insecure and coping with bad choices, like being taken advantage of by men in their late 20s. Bright colors don't equal happiness.

Goth/Punk: "I hate the world"
Emo: "I hate myself"
It's the only real distinction in my eyes...
Doesnt really matter, even the southpark goth kids were confused about themselves when talking about vampires
Goth is also the bands hating and/or slagging off the fans, while desperately denying theyre a goth band
I think the idea of goths hating the world mainly comes from the "depressed goth kid" stereotype. It's the depression, not the goth. The core philosophy of goth doesn't leave a lot of room for hate, as it's more about embracing and seeing beauty in things that repel most people.

It seems to be making a decently sized comeback lately. I've also never understood why emo got so much hate for having songs about their emotions when every single other genre does the exact same.

I was heavy in the punk/hardcore/emo scene in the early 00’s (pre-MCR) when bands like Thursday, Finch, and Dashboard Confessional were blowing up. I was in a band at the time and I was at a show and was talking to a member of a band that kinda blew up a little during the emo explosion. I happened to ask him where he got his jeans from because I couldn’t find any that fit well enough and he told me he got them from the teen girls’ section. He was dead serious. He rocked the fuck outta them jeans and I never had the balls to shop in the girls’ section.

I played bass in a covers band too. It was in the lates 80's early 90's. We did the first part for nirvana in Montreal, Quebec, Canada the first time they came in Montreal. It was in April 1990. Don't remember the exact date. I was replacing the band baseman. Still have their autographed T shirt.

I miss the old emo scene, when I was growing up I saw the "scene kids" sort of morphing and evolving from emo, pastel colours and stuff. That didn't last long though and little did I know at the time that was really the last alternative culture. Nowadays there's literally no alternative scene. Ultra conformity has spread it's disease amongst Gen Z where in almost all of them are completely indistinguishable. A horrible blend of the dead remains of cultures from before with nothing that stands out. It's truly sad but I think emo was truly the last alternative culture. I miss the days where sub cultures existed and people could be unique.
they still exist, atleast here in germany a lot of people are alternative including myself

The Black Parade is actually a brilliant album. Sure, it's angsty and a bit overtly dramatic at times, but the music is actually really well written. One of the few albums I still listen to from when I was a 14-year old awkward boy. Now I'm merely an awkward man.

@@ratman7347 Speaking of MCR, nice username
I was too young and square to really get into anything emo, but purely as a rock fan, MCR has got some great stuff. I’ve listened to Three Cheers, The Black Parade, and Danger Days, and all those albums are great in their own ways. They’re one of those bands where the genre they played was almost incidental, like they could (and often did) play something totally different if they felt like it. Their influences were diverse, Queen and David Bowie being some of the most often cited, but also definitely some metal and even psychedelic rock. That’s why it’s easy for me to take them seriously. They weren’t just an emo band; they were a great band that played music that emo kids were into.
Dont worry. Some day you'll be a fully self actualized Swanson.
This style was called "scene" in my area. The emo kids here would wear low rise boot cut girl jeans, band shirts, converse and had long hear and thick framed glasses.
From my memory scene and emo were different. Emo was more drab and colorless and scene was all bubble-gum death. Just being a little emo shit but wearing bright pastel colors
Emos and scenes was different my guy. Emo kids were the emotional goths and scene kids were fluorescent emos. I was a emo that turned scene, I loved colour as much as I loved black.... Haven't looked like that in 10 years, yet I'm still dead inside. Huh.

emos definitely making a comeback (and also the black parade is an incredible album you bite your tongue), because teens and young adults today really have a fascination with the early 2000s culture they grew up with but maybe couldnt experience to the fullest. that’s especially why the y2k aesthetic is so popular now, people grew up seeing mean girls and legally blonde and trl and all that stuff and looking back feel kind of like they wish they weren’t babies or children during the peak of that so they could experience it. you .... could argue that the trend of e-girls is similar in that it is an internet based youth subculture and definitely has taken inspiration from emo fashion, but ultimately the e trend was considerably shorter lived and isn’t a music based subculture in the same way the emo scene heavily revolves around the music.

While i agree with most of the stuff and also don't like the whole e-girl culture, i must point out one thing. Most of the people in e-culture were actually heavily based in music, mainly listening to indie music or emo rap/trap metal. Those two camps also varied heavily in looks and world view. The latter was a lot bigger, being influenced by the likes of Lil Peep, XXXTentacion, Uzi, $uicideboy$, and lesser known artists like Lil Darkie or Scarlxrd.

then mocks gerard when he says the 90s emo was true emo, you didn’t even cover 90s emo music....
@@andymccoy8370 at least he did say sdre was a thing that happened. Didn't mention the past decades glorious revival of Midwest style emo
@@haeilsey lol all that shit is boring pretentious indie rock that's ripping off the actual """emo revival""" that happened from like 2008-2012 (Street Smart Cyclist, Algernon Cadwallader, The Reptilian, L'antietam, empire! empire!(I was a lonely estate), oh my god elephant, Girlfriends, Castevet, Two Knights, The Exploration, My Heart to Joy, Everyone Everywhere, Hightide Hotel, Prawn, Dikembe, Grown Ups, Joie De Vivre, The Hotel Year, football,etc.) before the term got co-opted by the indie/alt music press just like 'emo' did back in the 90s.
@@andymccoy8370 it's funny cause Jim Adkins from Jimmy Eat World says the same thing about emo: "when we were growing up emo...meant punk rock and screaming hardcore" now it's all pop punk and soft indie rock that gets called "emo" and it started with their band. They knew they weren't emo! They all knew emo was hardcore! They were part of that scene and told people, but the media still spread the mainstream narrative of emo meaning sad depresso whiner rock. SAD!
PS for some emo bands Jimmy Eat World grew up with: check out Indian Summer, Current, Julia, Christie Front Drive, Cap'n Jazz, Braid, Lazycain, Four Hundred Years, Sleepytime Trio, Maximilian Colby, Dahlia Seed, Strictly Ballroom, Boilermaker, Nuzzle, Ordination of Aaron, Amber Inn, Broken Hearts are Blue.
I still remember on the "emo" age pretty fondly. I like the style and I'll pretty much always get people asking me "are you emo?" I just say "I'm me". Idk, it's just one of those things I got into really young and it just stuck, felt like I finally found a certain type of music and dress that just fit me. Whether people like it or not, it's just best to be yourself or you'll be miserable trying to become something you're not for the approval of other people that can't accept you as you are.
Having only fallen into the genre a decade too late, it’s nice to get a bit of comprehensive history on it. Thanks for this!
Boy you're in for a resurgence as the nostalgia factor has risen over the last year or so 😎
EMO NEVER DIES ✌️✌️
I still dress Emo. I was popular in 2007 when Emo was big. I am 33 now and it will come back any day now.
The city I live in had this goth/emo club that eventually moved into this really beautiful old theater downtown. The theater itself held a lot of memories for me. The music they'd play there was a lot of industrial and really hard techno. The best part was people would dress up really elaborately and everyone danced like the world was ending. No judgement, no fighting, just dance and vodka. You would have liked that place.
ITS BACK!!!
in my teens, I was labeled "emo", and I kinda agreed with it. Now I'm just an average looking 22-year old alcoholic who is still very emotional and full of despair but I can, without a doubt, say that the internal suffering "emo" tried to show off is, in fact, not "a phase".
F
Well, while of course in some cases it’s not „just a phase“, for the majority it is just that. Just as much as it was with goth, punk, hipsters, hippies or any other subculture. Most people eventually move on when they get older, that’s just how it is.
i thought i was emo, but in fact i was diagnosed with low functioning depression
Cringe
Emo doesnt mean depression. Emo is totally a phase
MCR has to be the most nostalgic band, I used to listen to them a lot and I still do :’) The song Helena is a personal favourite of mine
Warms my heart to see someone across the pond acknowledge og emo bands like Jawbreaker and Rites of Spring :) keep up the good work, chef
Same. As much as I love The Black Parade emo goes much deeper than MCR and Paramore. It's nice to see a guy who's clearly done his research into my favorite genre of sad white people music.
Sad Clarity wasnt the Jimmy Eat World he mentioned.
I would NEVER be embarrassed to be caught singing any song on the Black Parade. Still in my top five favorite albums ever and I was never even an Emo kid.
Reminder that you will never again have a chance to get a cool scene gf in high school.
This makes me wanna die. Life has no meaning or joy anymore
Dated the only chick in my school that fit that description for a month, she dumped me and proceeded to sleep around with literally anyone that gave her the time of day. I dodged a bullet there.
Bro, I was fucking nothing but scene chicks from 2007-2010. My nuts cashed in HEAVY.
Lucky ass. I had a few but I swear they are the best
@@DarkArmedDaddy1 If you can pull E-Girls or Goth/Art hoes (which is what I've done recently) they're essentially the same personality archetypes in bed. Though E-Girls are pretty damn close in terms of overall style, I've been leaning heavily towards Goth women as of late. I picked one up after a dark Minimal Techno set and I'll never be the fucking same lmao.
As an emo, this is very entertaining
As a teen I remember being a emo, a wierd mix of shame and pride.
It is just a community with a Gothic and Punk inspired aesthetic that rallied around talking openly about mental health when it was taboo and not taken seriously. About guys opening up about their emotions, vulnerabilities, and feminine side. About accepting accepting LGBT.
Not because we had an exact goal in mind, just following the urge to explore a side of ourselves in a way society would not allow us to. A lot of us didn't expect to stay emo growing up.
We were just pushing the envelope. So when society snapped back at us, we could at least reclaim some space for ourselves to talk about our differences and the emotional turmoils that society was so fervently against and called us weak for. But we supported eachother. Even our most awkward of our community.
I was totally emo back then also, but not quite into the sub-cultural aesthetic (although I PROUDLY rock emo aesthetic today). It was a freaking hell hole of anxiety and depression, not necessarily because of all the internal emotions, but the external forces trying to crush you as, like you said, LGBT and mental health stigmas. Also, emo/scene aesthetic instantly removes 15-20 years off your age visibly. I go from not getting carded at all to "this ID is so far off age-wise, it would be ridiculous to fake, but I still think you're barely 21".
"his attackers are running around looking for more emos" sorry man that had me dead 😂 it's like Ian mackaye just walking around like "give...me...emos...my precious"
In the 90s when I grew up.... We called them goths. I still call them goths because I'm an old person now.
They're two different subcultures.
Different subcultures with different music and different clothing styles, yo!
(Just like how goths aren't just punks)
Or in Ireland, where in my area they are called slipknots. LOL. I love when people have no concept of genre
Come to think of it I don’t even remember hearing the word emo until the second half of 00’s. Goth was the blanket term for anyone into black clothes who thought they were a wizard or some shit
@@danfontaine8179 I agree.... there wasn't really any specific music goths listened to. And the fashion of emos was like skater mixed with punk mixed with goth. I'm aware they are two different subcultures but like I said.... I call them all goths cause I'm an old person now... Almost 40!
3:34 LOL this video is so well done 👌
Im 16 and my mom is a bit young. Some of my earliest memories was of my mom taking us to Hot Topic and searching for all the sailor moon and other anime related, cause she liked that stuff! The coolest thing to me was how dark and emo everything was! It was the only form of pop culture i've seen so I remember being in love with studded belts, dyed hair and high kneed converse and thought thats what the cool kids were like! I had to have been about 4 or 5 at the time! Me, my dad and some of his friends would go to hot topic too and sometimes i got to get toys and snacks if i could find any!
Is your mum fit?
@@Liam1991 🧐
You've got some awesome parents. My mother used to be punk in her days, and listened to The Prodigy (her favorite song was Smack my B*tch Up), but she grew out of it by the time I was born and now she's just like every other parent. My father was always too conservative though.
The emo physical image has gone into history but let's all be honest, we all have that one emo playlist on spotify that after all the years have passed still gives us the chills and a feeling of deja vu.
Not me. Utter shit the lot of it.
@@benhall2235 agreed
No...
"we all have..."
Nope, sorry 😐.
No.
The magnum opus of literature titled "My Immortal" is a good testament of this trend. 10/10 would like to watch MCR concert/Voldemort ambush with guns
Emo didn't die because it was hated, it died because it became cringe. Such is the power of cringe culture, second only in strength to cancel culture.
Emo is not over, have you heard rap lately?
Yeah but a lot of these emo rap artists end up overdosing on prescription drugs and now the scene is dying
@@tunde9773 YUP.
@@tunde9773 th-cam.com/video/xCfcOUoh_aI/w-d-xo.html
@@tunde9773 Yeah, but when they die, people keep listening to their music for many years to come because the artist is now considered to be a legend. I'm talking about XXXTENTACION, Juice WRLD, Lil Peep etc.
@@2esh4 They are no legends, just fucking crackheads..
The Emo subculture started morphing into the candy kid rave crowd
Yeah very true 😆
😂😂😂
"Girl pants!" Wow what a nostalgic kick in the girl pants with that show
That show kind of just came and went didn't?
9:50 o shit, the Mexican emo riots!
I forgot about that. I also remember an awesome video with purposely incorrect translations.
"Riot police discussed the use of tear gas, but this was deemed unnecessary since the emos were already crying"
Because of this video I listened to The Black Parade for the first time in my life. I was way too old back then to be affected by youth culture but goddamn, that album just made me cry like a bitch.
Who guessed creating a subculture around not wanting to live in this world and chunibyuu tendencies doesn't live forever.
I hated Emo and even though I know you have completely missed the mark on that comment.
I have big greasy balls.
@@conors4430 yeah honestly this is a better definition of what like modern day e-culture is than like 99% of emo's history. And modern day e-culture is cringe bc it like fetishises all of the difficult topics early emo was addressing (not to say early emo didn't take itself WAY too seriously).
Well I guess doomers and a lot of modern. memes are going to die out in that case.
Yeah it’s sad I can’t find anyone else that likes the same stuff or looks like me
damn, according to this, emo was already in decline when i found it around 2007. I thought i was a part of its peak. truly i was still in elementary school 6-6-06 and had no idea :(
Yeah, you just came in on the end. It’s mainstream popularity peaked and died with the black parade and Paramore and Twilight. Then nobody could take any more not even the bands
@Cyrus Dabar ben Yisrael im a 1997 guy and its was in decline in 2009 i remember. The peak was around 2002 and 2006
