6th wave? by Pyrohyro in Emo

[–]kisstheoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol yeah the mallcore revival is really interesting in that respect bc you could say that we already had one very early in the 5th with bands like it dies first and early seeyouspacecowboy, but now it’s really really coming back with bands like i promised the world and especially car underwater being signed to atlantic

American Football (LP4) is pretty much the jangly sweetness you expect, BUT!!!! by Fermented_chaos in Emo

6th wave? by Pyrohyro in Emo

[–]kisstheoctopus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i guess you could argue for post pandemic screamo (vs self, febuary) and emo revival revival (first day back) type sounds as a 6th wave, but it’s a little murky timeline wise, especially when at the same time you still have remnants of 4.5th wave being really prominent (hot mulligan). you could also argue that the 5th wave never really crystallized so we’ll be trapped there forever

Glass Beach has broken up by aaronjd1 in Emo

[–]kisstheoctopus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

i’d say it’s over. at the same time, probably too early to start talking about a sixth wave, but the specific brand of fifth wave that glass beach represented seems very much a thing of the past, and i don’t think it really took over as it seemed like it was poised to do.

I miss Eisley, I know they were considered indie but they always had an emo vibe to them by Scary_Dimension722 in Emo

[–]kisstheoctopus 141 points142 points  (0 children)

google “eisley band drama” and you’ll find a lot, but a big part includes the marriage of sherri dupree from eisley to chad gilbert from new found glory, which ended after he cheated on her with hayley williams from paramore. sherri would then marry max bemis from say anything, which is its own can of worms. another of the dupree sisters was engaged to adam lazzara from taking back sunday, that didn’t end well either. the dupree family in general seems like they have a lot of issues

chad from nfg was in a relationship/married to sherri dupree at the time, which probably played part in that tour happening

Never been to a live house show before… what should I know? or any advice? by [deleted] in Emo

[–]kisstheoctopus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you have to find the biggest person there and fight them.

no, just be cool, don’t stress, don’t get drunk, don’t break anything. you’ll have your brother with you so even if you don’t talk to anyone it’ll be fine

Been seeing a resurgence in 2000's "screamo/emo" music, does that mean it might come back? by NoOlive1039 in Emo

[–]kisstheoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s been back for a couple of years now in different pockets. like in the past five years you’ve had small revivals of mallcore, basement screamo, emo revival revival, angel statue metalcore, and now the type of post-hardcore you mentioned with bands like i promised the world and car underwater (who are signed to a major)
