tbh i think it stems from fact that many emo bands try and replicate the way TWIABP communicated/meme'd with their fan base back in the day, which was also widely problematic at times
a lot of bands in this genre especially seem more concerned with being funny online than actually making good music
I think about the Brooklynvegan review of NCTH like once a week because the writer called it TWY going “full Kid A” lmao
Thank you for all the end of year lists a bunch of pages back, never heard of Rat Tally or Great Grandpa and they're both awesome
