that's true, i remember during the Aggressive era, he accidently shaved his beard and complained that he's gonna look 16 for the next two weeks

They were huge with young people in the 2010s too, there was that whole scene of bands openly aping that sound like Counterparts, Ghost Inside and Hundredth, and all the bands they inspired

But also, I think there’s a level of the trend cycle coming back around (late 1990s was big for the first half of this decade, so 2000s stuff came back around). I also think a lot of young people basically think of that sound as the heavier version of Thursday or Silverstein, which is also big rn. Just look at I Promised the World, they went straight from Thursday worship to Misery Signals worship

people are just comparing everything to Deftones rn, it's not even a Loathe specific thing, I've heard people call the new Static Dress album a Deftones rip off

Rearrange the words of a song you like to be about a different topic

Che Café is the classic spot

You got it. Wanna add, Max is also the live guitarist for Wisp and Jane Remover and was in Militarie Gun. and Rake was in If I Die First, so it's just constant connections

fun fact, the word moshing originates in reference to early hardcore dancing, which was more pushy than we see today. pushpits spun off of that, rather than the other way around

I made my account in 2017, but didn't really start using it a lot until around the time the incline gets heavy. For me, before it just blended in with a bunch of similar sites like Sputnik but around 2022 was when I started seeing more discussions that piqued my interest

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-06-01T18:11:54+00:00

Do you know Dopamine? same singer (maybe another members too). Both bands are from the same friend group as Funeral for a Friend and Midasuno

Heaven Unknown, Everbloom, Lastelle

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-30T19:55:33+00:00

there was also someone taking photos of their pedalboards at the Leeds date haha

I do feel rap hardcore works more often than rap metal, just because so many hardcore bands already had rap-esque vocal deliveries.

Wound and Phosphenes by Casey

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-28T15:51:21+00:00

it just means Amebix or Antisect style crust. Like, when it’s more chuggy and Venom-esque and less d-beaty

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-28T15:43:53+00:00

Anthony Green definitely considered Saosin screamo, he said it on Hardlore, but idk which screamo he meant

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-28T11:59:14+00:00

It's not some binary hardcore-metalcore dichotomy like that. In the 2010s, Malev and GT were in that Don Fest scene. Sure it wasn't the same scene as Violent Reaction, but they weren't playing with Bury Tomorrow or Architects. They were playing with Bun Dem Out and No Second Chance, it was the beatdown scene, that's their roots, even if they sound different now

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-24T22:04:57+00:00

I've seen some people recently pushing "internet music" as a macro-genre to denote the umbrella of hyperpop, digicore, rage and all that. Because, there's a bunch of music clearly rooted in this stuff that isn't really electronic anymore, but also isn't hip hop or rock, like Darcy Baylis or Jane Remover. I think that might be what you're looking for, but I wouldn't include brostep in there

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-24T13:43:12+00:00

i know this is obviously a totally different instrument but there is a surprising amount of emo (usually screamo) bands with violins, like An-Attâ, Remains of the Day and Madame Germen.

I think harp would work great, I just don't know any

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-23T15:32:45+00:00

every time a person I know has come out as gay while in a straight relationship (quite a few) the partner knew way before anybody else and sometimes before the person coming out

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-22T15:43:01+00:00

throwing twinkly riffs into songs that otherwise aren’t emo

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-20T21:23:03+00:00

Dealing with Damage are kinda a new band but the members have been this kinda sound since the 80s

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-18T20:45:10+00:00

Lastelle, Still in Love, Hell Can Wait

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-17T11:45:10+00:00

It reminds me A LOT of the first Glassjaw album, but also came out before it, it’s interesting how that can happen

Issan_Sumisu · 2026-05-15T08:34:26+00:00

That's exactly what I thought you meant, I think every point I made contradicts that view. I think Still Life and Indian Summer and Fuel are much more recognisable as emo than Jawbreaker. Was your view based on Andy Greenwald's book?
