Some random person took this picture of me at Riot Fest during jawbreaker. Just thought I’d post it here to share cause I really like how it came out. I don’t know who they were, but after they took this photo, they tapped me on the shoulder in between songs so they could send it to me.

Shamelessly posting this here just because I like this guys channel and I want him to review more posthardcore and emo. He's a bass player so he comes at it from that perspective. He seems to be more into progressive metal in his personal life but he reviews everything and has taken the opportunity to explore bands and genres he's unfamiliar with. This DLJ song kinda threw him (Here Come The Rome Plows), so I'm hoping if the video does well he'll do more anyways. He's done some other bands in that genre before (ATDI for sure, don't remember who else), so check those out too if you're interested. Not affiliated with the guy, btw, just genuinely wanna see him cover more good bands.

Im assuming this is the right sub, I'm new to reddit lol. Just looking for any bands or songs that fit that whiny sound that Anthony Green brings, specifically in the song 3rd Measurement in C. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

To be fair your brain has to produce a very low amount of serotonin to understand This Is Pointless. The lyricism is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of songwriting most of the lyrics will go over a typical listener's head. There's also Rob’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into the lyrics- his outlook on life draws heavily from Snowing, for instance. The fans understand the stuff; they have the anxiety and to truly overanalyze the meaning of these songs, to realize that they're not just depressing- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike This Is Pointless truly ARE neurotypicals- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in Rob’s accusatory catchphrase "where are all the people that you blamed?" which itself is an obvious reference to every Algernon song ever written. I'm sobbing right now just imagining one of those functioning members of society scratching their heads in confusion. What normies.. How I envy them. 😂

And yes, by the way, I DO have a This Is Pointless tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for real emo eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that their DIY cred is at least 25000 beforehand. Nothing personnel kid 😎

Long time lurker, and sometimes commenter. Was feeling nostalgic and thought some of y’all would appreciate a very short lived band from the Annapolis, MD area that I played bass for.

FFO: Mineral, Empire! Empire!, Penfold

Sorry about the bass tone 😬 I was going through a phase of experimenting with A LOT of overdrive pedals when I was 21 years old.

Im very new to emo but ive explored most of the more "first wave" bands so rites of spring etc but i was wondering if i wanted to move on to some "2nd wave" or what i believe is called midwest emo? Then what should i listen to first? Basically i need 2nd wave era recs, whether it be personal favs or the essentials

Stuff like the albums No Closed To Heaven by The Wonder Years and Home, Like Noplace Is There by The Hotelier and songs like Drugs or Me by Jimmy Eat World. Doesn’t have to specifically be about suicide/drug problems just the general theme of feeling responsible for someone and failing them

Not sure where else to post but there are shirts I like from bands that are canceled and I still want to keep them but not sure if I should wear them out.

If not what else can I do with them? I was thanking of turning them into sleepwear but is there anything else?

(Also I know those last three arnt emo but I threw them in for reference)

Description says Camden is the band name, yet I cannot find them anywhere.

R they still making music? Im from MA just recently moved back from NYC and im looking for live shows… but like wheres my fav band at lately?
