I saw ISMFOF last night and they played 40 minutes of their jams but they were still not very good live but they know that
I honestly never heard of this band before all the WWWY controversy, but I'm so turned off by the shit they're doing I'll never be interested in checking them out.
Their peak was 2009. Can’t really hate them using WWWY fest to boost themselves. It’s all part of the marketing game.
Yeah they were hardly relevant and one of the worst of the MySpace scene bands of that era. They wouldn’t even fit in with the festival lol
You know what I meant. There was a moment when awareness of them was higher than it will ever be again. I’d call it a peak.
It was a peak, it was just super short lived because that Crunkcore/shitty “party” music wave peaked and fell all within a few years. The whole 2008-2010 era of MySpace scenecore was hardly relevant to begin with. Most bands played small venues and didn’t draw much at all during that era.
Yeah, it was niche and pretty much died as quickly as it began. I think the biggest success of those groups came with Brokencyde opening for Senses Fail and it didn’t go well for them lol They fell out pretty quickly after that.
It’s always funny to me how quickly that scene/trend in music crashed and burned. I remember seeing ads for those bands all the time in AP Magazine. I thought that’s what was really “in” at the time. But I think by like, 2012, it got pretty phased out
TV Girl and Mom Jeans both just went on sold out tours, I think they would both be higher. Also I would put jxdn and Lil Huddy lower.
Jxdn has sold out 1500-2000-cap venues months in advance, so I'm comfortable with where I have him, but yeah, Mom Jeans should probably play after Lil Huddy now that I've looked up the venues they play. As far as TV Girl goes, I cannot stand their music and will not let them kill off anymore brain cells than they already have.
I thought ISMFOF was a joke? People seem to be taking them more seriously in here than they even take themselves? am I wrong? Were they not a joke?
In this situation, where the schedule is probably not part of most bands' contracts, wouldn't Mom Jeans be judged more by the performance of the new album than the stacked tour they somehow headlined?
