The Emo Thread Genre • Page 148

I own one Dads record, and unless I just straight up pitch it I'll never be able to get rid of it.

Can Vinyl be recycled?

 

I take all my junk vinyl to a record store about every 6-9 months. They only give about $1/LP but for stuff I know I’ll never sell its better than nothing

 

Also re that list (def not emo but since we're talking here):

 

Assuming this is the used copy, I've seen this so many times lmfao

 

ah fuck I forgot about that

 

This is good

 

Church Girls have “Nothing” to prove in new song—listen

I see on a website a band called Better Off are quite highly rated but I seem to remember something went on with that band. Is it true or am I confusing them with another band?

 

there on tour / fill in bassist was an abuser , and they took the stance o “I’d rather break up the band forever than hold our Fill in temp bassist accountable” they than came back years later non apologetic and assumed they did the right thing. Band is trash

 

Didn't they also moan on Twitter about people not supporting them because of it too lol

 

Well that seems an odd stance for them to take. Oh well, I'll skip them then.

 

we posted our favorites a couple pages back, starting at 142

 

Better Off/Luke specifically tried to get the accuser to pay for the guy’s therapy, tried to convince her it didn’t happen, and are just pretending that all is forgiven

 

Also I’m gonna toss out a hot take: the way new young emo bands act online is both embarrassing and harmful and uses a lot of harassment/brigading techniques that makes me severely uncomfortable

 

Can you share some examples? (Or dm if you don’t want to share in the thread)

 

Social media is bad in general and I try to stay away from it as much as I can

 

McCafferty was the king of this. Name search and quote tweet anyone who says something slightly critical so your large internet following attacks them. Very popular among gamergaters

 

A lot of artists have a truly awful social media presence

 

Ugh. Yeah, I can agree that McCafferty is pretty insufferable.

I guess I was thinking bands like P Daddy, Gami, and the like and couldn't make the connection.

 

Oooohhhh fuck yeah!

 

Yeah like there are bands in that ilk that do stuff like this, those two generally don’t bc they’re nice people but I see if pretty often bc I have to follow all of these bands and use socials as a promoter
