Onto emo's fourth wave (the revival). Emo was gaining prominence in the underground, thanks to the internet. Bands started reincorporating the clean, indie-flavored sounds of 90s midwest emo, mostly inspired by American Football. This led to many of these bands sounding derivative. A cliche arose that emo was now white boys whining over twinkly riffs.

When you think of emo bands, what do you imagine? Young men in skinny jeans and wack hair? The genre may have this perception of being a boy's only club, but certain bands do buck that trend.

Everyone Asked About You almost sound like a twee pop band with their naive boy-girl vocals, but that little bit of grit and rawness is unmistakably 90s emo.

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.

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

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.

Shoutout to Christian youth ska punk.

Christ loves all, even skanks.

Is that blasphemy?
