Fuck it, it's emo week. I'll be posting the best of the various waves of emo to show the genre's range beyond 2000s Hot Topic music.

I swear if I was a Make-A-Wish kid, I'd wish to eat so much Texas BBQ that it overrides whatever's already killing me and gives me a fatal heart attack instead.

Fuck meeting LeBron James and Disneyland. This is what I want.

I realized that even if I just posted stupid bullshit 10 times every single day, it'd still take me over 3 years of straight coalposting to reach the current top of the forums.

Wowzers

My favorite Kessoku Band track. An absolute masterclass of math rock, courtesy of Nakajima Ikkyu of tricot. It features some of the best guitar work in the genre, including a killer verse riff. Mizuno Saku's vocals also capture the melancholic feel of the song perfectly (she's even better in the live version).

Has Persona 4 aged well at all? I've only touched the PS2 original 15 years ago, so I don't know what Golden's like.

For some reason, 4 gives me the most nostalgia out of the modern Persona games, especially the soundtrack. Holy balls that soundtrack.

Definitely willing to give it another spin once life starts making a bit more sense

Texas BBQ looks so insanely fucking good, if only America went and spread that across the world instead of... you know

Woo, 1 month.

This piece is one that I wish I were around for. Imagine witnessing it for the first time, the identical band members, the crab stance, the incongruous techno breakdown in the middle. Sadly, I had my cringe emo phase in my 20s. Far too late to witness this landmark in the metalcore scene.

A more immediate banger off of Kendrick's least immediate album. Incredible beat on this track, and you either hate or love Sampha's hook. Even with the hit potential, this song doesn't skimp out on lyrical content. Father Time provides a sharp critique of toxic masculinity and the importance of proper male figures, especially in the black community.

One for the sad chumbuds out there.

A much more mainstream pick that maybe many have heard, but dammit, it's Frank Ocean. You can't go wrong with Frank fucking Ocean.

If I was a medieval ruler, I swear you'd have to physically stop me from summarily executing people. It just sounds like such a jolly old time.

Don't like my taxes? Here's some front row tickets for your family to witness your beheading, knave.

Political dissidence? I've always wanted to try out the rack.

Shit, I'd find any excuse to execute someone.

Was contemplating getting a coffee delivered, only to see that the fucking packaging and delivery fees were basically equivalent to a 2nd coffee.

Shoutout to Christian youth ska punk.

Christ loves all, even skanks.

For all the fans of old alternative j-rock.

This song fucks so hard, harder than I did your [REDACTED] last night.

There's just something about 90s alt-j-rock that Naruto-hugs something inside me. It makes me feel like I'm a ronin student trying to escape all of my what-ifs. Maybe it's the big choruses or the raw vocal performances.

So is it just a global constant that STEM departments in colleges look and are constructed like dogwater while the humanities actually look like a proper institution?

'Cause in my college's STEM side, we had old colonial style buildings and moss and lichens, and the humanities (and med, which is STEM) had chic cafes.

No term in music has been more debated than "punk" (shoegaze maybe, but that's a single-neuron debate).

What is punk? Just noise?

Does it lean a certain way? Left? Right? Center? A secret other dimension?

Whichever way, it shouldn't be hard getting behind Nazis fucking off, and I tend to agree with The Dead Kennedys.
