The History of the 2010s Emo and Pop Punk Revival (The Story So Far, Modern Baseball, Title Fight)

- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- Suppy, this video is my love letter to the 2010s Emo and Pop Punk Revival. I go over what made the scene unique, the important bands, and give my perspective since I was in high school/college during the revival. I talk about The Wonder Years, Man Overboard, The Story So Far, Modern Baseball, Title Fight, Neck Deep, State Champs, Real Friends, Knuckle Puck, Four Year Strong, A Day To Remember, Set Your Goals, Turnover, Touche Amore, La Dispute, Tigers Jaw, Citizen, The Menzingers, Jeff Rosenstock, Pup, Joyce Manor, Easycore and more.
I didn’t talk about bands like Spanish Love Songs, Hot Mulligan, Pool Kids, etc because most people associate those bands with the current scene. Check out my other videos where I talk about all those bands :)
I titled this video "The History of the 2010s Emo and Pop Punk Revival" because picking just emo or pop punk wouldn’t encompass everything that happened in the 2010s. I wanted to cover the entire scene. The 2010s had great punk rock too but the title of the video was long enough. All these bands toured together, fans compared all of them to each other, it didn't make sense to focus on one genre and not the other.
Never Normal is where I talk about Emo, Punk, Pop Punk, Ska, Metal, Rock music and everything under the Alternative music genre. I talk about bands like Rites of Spring, American Football, Blink 182, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Paramore to Modern Baseball, Title Fight, Touche Amore, Joyce Manor, Hot Mulligan and festivals like When We Were Young, Riot Fest and Warped Tour.

Updating with bands we're talking about in the comments!
Yes, I forgot Basement. They introduced a bunch of kids to Grunge. Covet is pretty popular on tiktok.
Here for the pizza
Thanks for watching Finn! 🍕
The 2010s tumblr pop-punk era really doesn’t get enough love. It was such a magical time, you really just had to be there
it gets a lot of love I think time just moves so quick these days it doesn't feel old enough to have been a thing yet. clearly it's getting there lol.
Thanks for watching!
Heck yeah. I keep seeing old comments on mcr songs from 2016-2017 and I was a kid at that time so I didn’t listen to them. But I do remember watching college kids react video on it. It seems to be a cool time to listen to them.
thank you for making this video. i feel like this era is never talked about enough
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for this video!!! Being a Teen/young adult during the heyday of this scene, was such a fantastic experience. I remember visiting Property of Zack almost everyday to know of some release or to discover some new bands at the time like MoBo, The front Bottoms, Basement, Citizen, Joyce Manor... Stuff that I still listen to everyday.
Wow awesome vid! You’ve listed all of my favorite bands from the last 10-15 years. Great to see some of the underrated bands get mentioned too.
Others that come to mind are We Were Sharks and Me Vs Hero
We Were sharks album lost touch is great! Added them to the spotify playlist. (In description) Thanks for watching!
I’m happy you brought up Transit and Such Gold. Both were never given their roses.
I remember seeing Such Gold for the first time in Corpus Christi, Tx. I immediately went over to buy their album, Misadventures, and told the drummer they were something special in the scene. The album hadn’t even been out a month if I remember correctly.
I still stand by that statement..
Such gold just recently announced new music on their Facebook!
Thanks for watching!
Phenomenal video dude!
This was a huge trip down memory lane for me.
Loved that you mentioned Such Gold! One of the most memorable shows of my youth was a bill with them, The Flatliners and A Wilhelm Scream in Seattle. Totally reinvented me that night.
Absolutely loved Joyce, the Menzingers, TSSF, Neck Deep, TWY and pretty much all these other bands!
Thanks for a killer vid! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Fyi such gold said on facebook they're working on new music 😎
Damn great video! Made me look back through my show photos/videos. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to was the Run For Cover - Something In The Way festival (?) in NYC in 2016. MoBo ended the night on the main stage and I hardly knew them at the time and I hate myself for it now 😫
Thanks for watching!
I was too young to be in the scene in the 2010s but I remember this band my older cousin took me too at a community center when i used to live in saginaw, michigan called ACT AS ONE. they were phenomenal they were sort of a local legend within that city if I remember correctly
I remember their song the only easy day was yesterday. What a blast from the past. Added them to the playlist. It's in the description.
Thanks for watching!
No looking back was SO good
I also like to call it Sad Boi Pop Punk (full credit to Finn Mckenty for that one). The Story So Far are my of my favourite bands and saved my life during 2020, they also reignited my love for pop punk. Great video, reminded me of some very slept on bands from that era and introduced me to ones I didn’t know about at all
Thanks for watching!
absolutely loved this video!! i was listening to other stuff during the prime of 2010s emo but as an adult now, im having so much fun learning the history/influences of some of my current favorite bands
thanks for watching! Start making videos, everyone should yap about what they love!
Amazing video as always! Appreciated this nostalgia trip back into my early 20’s
Glad you enjoyed it!
sooooo much to say about this video omg. you touched on this in the video a few times and as someone who grew from this scene, it’s something i find fascinating. at the time, all of these vastly different bands were all just lumped together under the pop punk umbrella. some outlets started calling it the emo revival as that picked up steam but even internally between fans everyone just called any band in the scene pop punk. ironically, the emo revival really did revive emo. now everyone just lumps any band in the scene as emo again (or people get super nitpicky about differentiating between micro subgenres lol). but seeing a new generation of kids find bands like mobo title fight superheaven and basement and not understanding how much crossover their fans had with bands like man o twy major league tssf etc, not just other fourth wave bands but the entire booming pop punk scene at the time as a whole…. it’s so interesting to me. all of the bands you talked about were some of my favorite bands as a teen and into my 20s and i still listen to them regularly. loved this video. think you did this time period justice. hard to overstate the impact this time period had and the ripples we still see today. this scene really DID save vinyl i remember even news outlets that never spoke about this scene writing think pieces about the diy bands bringing vinyl back. wild. it’s nice to hear this scene getting the credit it deserves. but man this video realllyyyy took me back. and goddd property of zack…. haven’t heard that name in ages. also mannnn some of the deeper cut bands you called out really took me back. also - my local scene was nj/philly and kittyhawk made it over there! haven’t heard that name in years but remembered as soon as you namedropped them. also i was gonna drop a line about not mentioning a ton of bands that were so huge at the time but you mentioned most of them with the underrated bands. killed it. it’s interesting to see which bands held up over time and which hardly get mentioned anymore. but man, again, you really nailed it. would only also shout out some of the more fourth wavey bands like balance & compsure, pity sex, basement, foxing, seahaven, etc. sorry this comment was so long lmao i could talk about this for days 😭 loved this video this was so fun to relive
thanks for the comment! I had the same issue with the title of the video. Like you said, all these bands got lumped together. Some were call emo, some pop punk, some punk rock, it changed day to day. At the end of the day it doesn't matter anyway. The 2010s was a revival of Emo, Pop Punk, Punk, Hardcore, Ska etc.
Basement was one I was upset I forgot.
I know not everyone is a fan of tiktok but seeing younger kids discover basement, superheaven , mobo through the trending sounds is fun. It's a new way to discover music, that if it was around in 2013, every band would've used it.
Thanks for watching!
This video took me down memory lane fr 🖤 Man Overboard was definitely my favorite and need them to return to us asap lol
The singer has a new band, Zachary Ross & The Divine. It's great!
Thank you for this! This was the wave that really got me into this kind of music. Well done!
Thanks for the kind words!
Yet another top-notch video, absolutely love it.
Great job as always!!!
Thanks for watching!
ezcellent video! this 2010s "sad boy" era (as its often called) of pop punk might be my overall favorite
Great video homeboy!
Glad you enjoyed it!
amazing video bro . We need more . 👍
Working on it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video man who looks like a crossover between Jonathan Davis and David Cross
Thanks....I think....lol
killer vid dude 💥⚡️❤️🔥
Thanks for watching!
great video my man! the only big bands I feel like deserved a mention are the front bottoms and basement! i mean who could forget the classic giant B basement hoodie that was all over tumblr at the time. sorority noise was another underrated tumblr pop punk era band. also even though they didn’t come up in the era mentioned in your vid i feel like bayside definitely deserves recognition for inspiring and helping shape that era. their 2005 self titled album sounds like it came straight out of the 2010’s pop punk tumblr scene. but yeah keep these kind of video essays my man i really liked it, you really broke it down and nailed what the scene was like at the time. you got a new subscriber!
Added basement and FB to the spotify playlist!
Thanks for watching!
Dude, I'm from Brazil but thanks to the internet that was the soundtrack to my early adulthood. So nostalgic!
I'd add to your list Basement and Balance and Composure. I also love Make Do And Mend, but it almost feels like no one else cared about them. lol
Basement was sooo gooooddd
Awesome video dude! Loving your work. Some of my favourites you mentioned are Turnover and MOBO. Would have loved for Basement to get a shout out...
When I'm with yooouuuuuuuuuuuu
I got in to pop punk and emo music in spring 2010 I remember just surfing RUclips and Melrose Diner by The Wonder Years came on and I was like I have never heard anything like this. I immediately asked my mom for an iTunes card. And for the next few years I would ask for iTunes cards and spend my weekends at the library all just to get all the pop punk, emo, emo showgaze, soft grunge music I could. This music influenced how I dressed, how I act it’s the biggest thing to ever happen to me. To this day this is really all I care about. I like video games and baseball and Disney but those are just random things i pay attention to and do sometimes. Pop punk is really what I spend all my money on and how I dress and how I act. I check pop punk playlists, I check related artists and I scroll through pop punk groups on Facebook daily to find new pop punk music. I also post on Facebook, instagram and twitter the bands and albums I been listening to that week. I try and go to every pop punk and emo concert that comes to Long Island and NYC. (I like female indie pop as well but that’s not my life I just like a few artists in that genre). I mainly listen to pop punk, emo, emo pop punk, pop punk shoegaze, emo shoegaze, soft grunge, Emo pop rock, easycore, Midwest emo pop punk indie rock, and emo indie rock. Amazing video. I got in to every band you named either with there first album or there first post 2010 album. All amazing bands my fav is TWY and as it is with state champs, neck deep, knuckle puck, real friends and more being other favs of mine.
So stoked to see So Many Ways getting a mention. So so underrated!
Cheers from Indiana 🌽
Such a good band. Thanks for watching!!!
"Teenage Retirement" being in the background makes me happy.
Underrated album.
Such a great band, thanks for watching!
23:35 I'm so happy I got to see BTMI play shows! The best intro to diy music I could ever have
Also grew up in this era. Loved all the bands you mentioned here but two big ones for me were transit and polar bear club
Sophie’s floorboard got me into so many emo/pop punk bands during this time.
Also not mentioning basement is criminal lol
30 kids in burgundy basement hoodies at every show.
I love Sophie! Thanks for watching!
Great work on this video man. Good shit shouting out Transit, one of my biggest regrets is never seeing them live despite being from Massachusetts. There’s a documentary coming out about Tim called Don’t Forget To Leave, you should definitely check it out when it gets a proper release
will check it out!
Thanks for watching!
I Call Fives, City Lights, The Wonder Years, Real Friends - are probably my favorites from this time period! Oh man good old times... Please anyone invent a time machine! 😅
lol Thanks for watching!
OMGGG THE DAN PHOTOOO
I'm only 22, but The Wonder years is probably my favorite band right behind ADTR. I only found them over the COVID era but it was able to take me back to when I was younger in the early 2010s. But I was able to apply albums like Suburbia to that time even if I had never heard it. But as COVID went on and I became more comfortable being a young adult, their newer and newer albums became better and better to me as the "Ooo nostalgia you're getting older that's crazy" waned off. As you said, their albums are linked with the age of the members, and that's really something I liked and at the time really needed. It can be an escape to the past, or something positive or fun to go back the "the good ol days" in a better light. I saw their anniversary tour and there was a big gap in ages from me to everyone else in their late 20s. Only other younger guy I saw there? The one guy in high school who liked this kind of music before I did.
Thanks for watching!
amazing video. i was waiting for knuckle puck and whenever you said "speaking of Chicago and speaking of real friends" i just knew they were coming haha...
completely off-topic and unrelated but where did you get that cream/off-white button you're wearing in the later-half of the video? i fucking love it!
old navy lol
Along with the Chicago scene, the Northwest Indiana pop punk scene was very rich in the 2010s. I miss the Royal Skate shows with Belmont, Lost Years, Rebuild and Rebound, Came Out Swingin, and Nobody Move. It was absolutely peaked in 2016. Those were the golden years in my life.
Thanks for watching!
Ur very underrated! I was a kid in the 2010s so I was nostalgic for the early 10s. But I was so curious on emo bands on their releases during that time. I only remember listening to the songs on the radio like pop and hip hop. I was too young to become emo and I was a little kid.
Thanks for watching!
@@NeverNormal ur welcome man
I’m realizing that all my favorite albums are 10 years old+. Bittersweet feeling for sure
Thanks for watching!
Great video. I know most of these bands and happy to be introduced to a few more from this video. Thanks. If anyone has any suggestions from some smaller bands i would appreciate it.
Thanks for watching!
i was lowkey twitter famous in like 2017-18 bc of one of my waterparks tattoos lol i miss this era so much. im from the same area as title fight, motionless in white, the menzingers, and tigers jaw and ended up moving to philly after college. i miss how connected the scene was and i really miss the community especially around warped tour in those last 3 years. i still try to go to shows and support the local scene. one step closer from wilkes-barre pa is shaping up to fit right in with title fight, super excited to see them with hot mulligan later this year. we're older but this era really defined a lot of who i am today :)
Thanks for watching!
Love me some forever came calling!
such an underrated band
I started getting in to pop punk when life's not out to get you released. I was 17 then and got in to a massive depression and LNOTGY helped me trough that period.
2 bands that are carrying the new wave of bands are koyo and arm's length! Koyo for the more hardcore influenced pop punk like tssf and arm's length with the more emo inspired pop punk like mobo!
Love koyo, need to listen to arms length more.
@@NeverNormal koyo made my AOTY 2023 and I got an arm's length tattoo last month!
Loved RVIVR especially The Beauty Between album def represents that whole era to me too!
RVIVR (and Latterman, and Tender Defender) absolutely rock, but they're Orgcore, not pop-punk, emo, certainly not Easycore.
LMD by RVIVR is soooooooo gooodddddd
Now that we're 1/3 of way through the 2020s what do you think of you think of the scene now? I know you've talked about MGK in the mainstream resurgence of the Y2K vibe, but what about the more underground 5th wave emo stuff?
5th wave as in current bands? Oso Oso and Future Teens are my favorites. Pool Kids, Origami Angel are great too.
36:44 Martha ❤❤❤
Great video. Whatever happened to So Many Ways?
For whatever reason they never gained popularity. A member, Jason, is in Senses Fail!
Anyone remember the glamour kills tour with into it over it, the story so far, transit, polar bear club, and the wonder years?
Glamour kills was everywhere! Wonder how well they did. Thanks for watching!
@NeverNormal You are SO cool! 😎
lol thanks for watching!
Transit will always be one the most defining bands in my pop punk library 🫶🏻
I'm getting good at saying goodbyyyyeeeeeee
awesome bands. playlist not available ?
In the description.
Thanks for watching!
Never normal in the corner at a party: "they dont know that pop punk saved vinyl"
lololololololol 100%
You live in Chicago but you really missed Belmont.
And also, I think Mom Jeans. & Free Throw should be mentioned on this video too.
ohhhh totally. Thanks for watching!
This is the most targeted for me video ever made
haha Thanks for watching!
TSSF new music slaps and I won't let anyone tell me otherwise.
Lettermen is so good.
lol Basement? Or maybe they were just bigger in the UK. Balance & Composure were a staple of that era imo.
when I'm with youuuuuuuuuuu
man overboard reference
🤣
Honestly, great video.. You even shouted out Daggermouth. But I refuse to accept black parade as the last gasp of mainstream emo. That scene died when Pete Wentz cut his hair on stage a few years later, imo.
lol Thanks for watching!
Can’t access the playlist
thanks for letting me know.
Should be good now, open.spotify.com/playlist/0ikXbkO5PlmvvQ4teDDvvt?si=77f2a7866a9e4322
I really regret that I only started to love pop punk in the late 10s/pandemic era. Although I was born in the mid 2000s, if I could be born in the right time and the right place, I think my youth would be more interesting, instead of shrinking in this huge world of tik tok/reels or some shit
Are A Day To Remember an underground band?! Maybe they never got the same success as Green Day or My Chem, but they've done well. But yeah, Emo peaked with The Black Parade. I ended up losing interest and started listening to metalcore (which gained decent attention where I live in the UK 🇬🇧) and then listening to old school death and thrash metal. And being born in 1991, I think I witnessed the rise and fall of 3rd wave emo due to my sister being highly obsessed
Thanks for watching!
I would say they aren’t underground. I mean they have had a little mainstream success, they definitely aren’t huge though
algernon cadwallader
No Christofer Drew? No Pianos Become the Teeth? ISMFOF? DGD? Jonny Craig Kurt Travis etc etc ):
ah yes. the "ive been listening to a lot of post" era of emo.
Daggermouth was an Orgcore band, not an Easycore band.
Thanks for watching!
Not mentioning Forever The Sickest Kids as a huge pop punk influence?? All time low weightless? Paramore brand new eyes? Sure it was neon pop punk, but it was still pop punk. I miss the days when people didn’t care about genres and we just listened to what we liked
These are all Mallcore bands lol
Warped Tour KIA RIO STAGE ass bands 😂
@@jjerkamillo you say that like youve ever played warped tour at all homie. Mallcore isn’t a real genre, you just mad these bands were popular enough to play in a mall in the first place 🤷🏻♂️
suckatittybytheocean
If you know you know.
Thanks for watching!
