you're a weird case, in that you try to act like a "music snob" but you say dumbass shit like what you just poasted, and you don't really even know any obscure art rock bullshit bands that most people who affect the music snob persona claim to like. shit, i listen to way more of that stuff than you do and i'm 20-30% less insufferable than you about music.

Do you know why mall emo sounds the way it does? Because they took the concepts that the hardcore scene invented and wrote better songs with them. Do you know why Nirvana was so much more famous than the Pixies or the Melvins? Because Kurt took the concept of grunge, the idea and aesthetic of grunge, and he combined it with nursery rhyme melodies and clever as fuck lyrics. That's why Nirvana is huge and The Buzzcocks are not. Hardcore bands are niche because most people don't want to hear that. Katy Perry songs are written by the most talented songwriters in the world. You don't have to like it but the hooks are like 5 billion times better than Black Flag lol. It's not even debatable.

Even at the time it was popular, before I was "redpilled," I instinctively disliked it because it seemed like it was being pushed on people as a demoralization forcememe

I don't like any mall emo at all. I hate that crap.

If you lived in a state where 16yos were legal, it would have been a great bit to pretend to like that shit just to fuck the scene girls. It was probably the last time that a critical mass of teenage girls were interested in rock music.

you have to lack any real regard or affinity for music in the first place to immerse yourself in and build your adolescent identity around being a dorky DC hardcore fanboi. no matter the generation, they are always the most insecure, joyless, and personally inartful people you'll ever meet. dc hardcore scene is arguably on the mt. rushmore of music subcultures where the music is almost completely incidental to the 'scene.'

nothing but theater kids minus any sense of taste plus needs a physical outlet that is not sports.

I remember for years I thought my love for emo was just nostalgic since it was my favorite genre as a kid. but one time in college I was tripping on 2ce listening to emo and realized that it's actually just my favorite type of music period, nostalgia aside. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

xo generally has nothing but shitty music takes so this thread doesn't surprise me
