I'm so glad you included someone who listens to the Cure - give them a chance Finn. They've been putting out amazing music for 40+ years and still doing it today. They've always done things their own way, and never gave up control to the "industry."
@•●CrePusculaRChiRoPterA●• they are an amazing band. Never bent to conform. Try Echo and the Bunnymen - masters. “The Killing Moon” is one of the best songs ever written.
Finn talks about how so many bands bend to conform to the industry. Nothing worse than a great band bending so much they become mediocre, at best. These older school bands never did, they stayed the course and are still putting out unique sounding music today.
emos already having kids? man, im 34, I was a teenager during the nu metal years and i have a 3yo kid. We need a couple more years for emo kids to have their own kids.
yo madeline pendleton was spitting straight facts. literal description of all the "alt" looking dudes in barcelona who don't actually listen to metal just techno
So I think the normie persecution complex started as a core of the community in the 60s with the hippies and continued through the 80 with the punks and even into the 90s with the ravers. I can say, as a former raver party kid, who is now 40 with a pretty big government job, that even by the 90s most of the “norm persecution” was gone… because the normies of the 90s were the hippies of the 60s. Just like the normies of today are the ravers, goths, punks, and emo kids of the past. We just grew up.
"You can't have a Ska hat, a Black Metal T-shirt, Emo wrist bands, and skinhead shoes" Picture teenage Jack white in a fadora, Darkthrone shirt, Three Days Grace rubber wrist band, and colored laced combat boots. That was the big titty goth girl's boyfriend at my yeeyee high-school.
Okay this is one of the best videos in this category you make. I am equally ready and willing to allow the zoomers to harvest my minerals for nutritional sustenance.
I do remember, back in the scene years, I saw this one kid dressed like he was Dick Tracy, immaculate in 1950's-60's corporate wardrobe without the slightest shred of irony - He completely owned it. That dude will be forever in my head as a true fashion outlaw.
I've got 5 kids, and my teenagers are listening to a bunch of different metal genres. It cracks me up that they like the same shit I did at their age. Also, I lol'd that someone finally found the unhinged tiktok of Social Repose. Yike.
YES! THANK YOU. it is an adjective, not a noun. at least, it was back in 2002-2006. Then mainstream media found out about it thanks to MCR and FOB and they started calling PEOPLE "emos". uggh. obnoxious. It's like calling hardcore kids "hardcores".
I kind of miss seeing the Emo and goth kids. You could always find me in all black all the time. At least in New York..I don't see them around anymore...but I love seeing them when hanging in the Village
The 2008 year book was Vista Murrieta, but it was 2009. I was a metalcore kid with a fro so I didn’t make the meme. What up to anyone that graduated with me.
Bro that is his own house in the back, he actually has a video about the whole process of he painting that house entirely black on his youtube channel lol
I’m at an age where I don’t think I get to have a subculture. I’m very suburban dad during the week and take the kids to the family farm on the weekends.
I have that yearbook lol that was vista Murrieta ca. I used to jam guitars with most of them and the second guy filmed my wedding. They were all super cool
I somehow remember that matriarchmothra dude from a few videos I watched on youtube like a decade ago. I don't really remember anything about the videos other than that he went on a rant about Ronnie Radke in one of them. He was just one of those random channels I found while going down a rabbit hole one night while I may or may not have been on drugs.
Also, that madeline girl says "it's a California accent." BULLSHIT. I have lived all over the English speaking world, I have a pretty good ear for accents. I 100% heard some Pennsylvania or Maryland in there.
He gets a lot of excessive hate for cheating on a couple girls and wearing a feathery hat. That’s literally the worst things he’s done. These people that attack him constantly have way too much time on their hands and could be spending that same energy on far worse people on RUclips.
Video topic idea: Disney Channel Music (Jonas Brothers, Allstar Weekend, Mitchel Musso, Cody Simpson, Austin Mahone, Ross Lynch (& or R5), Hillary Duff, Zendaya, Bridget Mendler ect) Or you could also add or do a separate vid on Nickelodeon music (The Naked Brothers Band (& or Nat and Alex Wolff, Big Time Rush, Drake Bell, Jamie Lynn Spears, Miranda Cosgrove, Victoria Justice ect)
Zoomers really did do their research and that's even without access to the long since dead and gone, scene utopia of 2005-2009 myspace, and I'm kinda sad they can't see/experience the seemingly forever lost treasure trove of peak scene pfps.
Sugaring? We’ve come full circle. We black people coined these things 40 years ago. They’d say he ain’t sh!t. These are the baby daddies. These were also the broke guys LARPing as rappers, drug dealers, or thieves. They are now called dusties.
Join my Discord! discord.gg/9GbTq4d8Pe
The widespread phenomenon of people calling themselves Emo and the retroactive labelling of myspace aesthetics as Emo is SCENE ERASURE.
RIP Finn. You were never suppose to expose big flat iron.
They're gonna Epstein me for this

As someone who graduated in 2008, I can confirm that highschool attire was never better than then. My yearbook looks exactly the same as this.

It's beyond (Cringe) killing the mind away that at times I forget if it's Emo or Eboy to Egirl cringe mixed in between too inevitable at this point.
Been seeing Madeline’s TikTok’s on fyp for a while now, she always has good shit to say. Surprised you didn’t mention how short her bangs are 😂

I was a scene kid and now I have 2 children of my own.
i was a senior in high school in 08 and am about to be 33. i'm horrified that there are adults in the workforce that weren't even alive for 9/11
*Seriously.* *I am* *MORTIFIED AND OFFENDED.* 💯😨😰😱
That’s gotta be the best question to immediately know. Where were YOU on 9/11?
Emos love that Goo Goo Dolls song, because of the lyrics. That's one of the reasons it became so popular at the time
Facts, also good melodies.
That song is a banger. Everyone loves it
I thought the "wrist check" was for cutting, honestly
"The Goth Moth" got me, I'm fuxking dead, holy shit
Emo goth rooster. What a call back. I remember seeing this dude a while back.
Bars.
forgot the korn kid with the giant jncos and backwards hat adidas drip saw kid other day was like holy shit its me in 1998
That girl at 12:00 sounding so clever but she was tricked at least5-6times and you can tell

madeline dropping 2 mins of truth bombs.
Three minutes into the video and Finn once again reminds me of how old I am
0:16 why doesn't Finn trust us enough to let us yell the cringe part? you know we'd do it, Finn?
Social Repose honestly doesn't even deserve to be talked about by this point
Finn's reaction the "4 big guys" is the highlight of 2023 so far!
If I saw that thing in the park I may shoot at it in fear for my life
The wrist check comment was about seeing if she had cutting scars not bracelets.
So I think the normie persecution complex started as a core of the community in the 60s with the hippies and continued through the 80 with the punks and even into the 90s with the ravers.

its dimebag razor blade necklace i think ive got one
I will never pass the torch to the zoomers trying to cancel my favorite movies like tropic thunder n shit
I’m from St. Louis so anytime emo is mentioned I just think of Imo’s pizza.
Love the Goth Moth!
I suspect naturalists will be setting up camera traps around that park table in the very near future :)
10:30 .. that was about cutting, not accessories !
I married the BTGG 25 years ago. We have a kid in college. Now you might say BTGMILF.
It's that thing screaming on the park bench 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 This made my day!!! Love all your videos Finn. You’re the best in the game.
Wait until Finn finds ram ranch😂
Emo became a pronoun.
(emo/emos)
Don't do it Finn. Emos may file for your cancellation.
I heard that 4 big guys song the first time at the end of a Stimpee video. He always has bangers like that at the end of his videos
As one of those gen z kids who are a part of the scene revival. It's a lot of unironic irony. It's like a lot of levels
There was a missed opportunity for either you or someone in the chat to say "I fell in love with an emo dad!" 🎵
Big Flat Iron Revival sounds like an emo hippy band
I graduated from high school in 2009 and I’m 31.
Those scene-rs in my highschool were all pot heads lol
I'm 65 and I'm laughing at all of you!
Love your work Fin...keep it up!
Thank you!
"Emo's an adjective, not a noun"
It's a way of life
Noticed the MGS-sounds used in your Patreon ad today and I must say that it tickled my nostalgia bone.
I say Emo TikTok you say cringe!
Emo TikTok!
Cringe!
Emo TikTok!
Cringe!
I graduated in 2009. My yearbooks look exactly like that. Haha
At 5:07 - who's that attractive blonde stage right, Mckenty?
It's cool seeing kids revive late 2000s culture
I didn't actually realize the modern status of the word "alternative/alt" until this video. I don't like it.
The side swept flat ironed cringe 😖
Finn keeps saying things that remind me that he is the same age as my mom - I’m in grad school lmfao
Lest ye forget, Sleep with Sirens covered that very same Goo Goo Dolls song.

I thought it was also a verb because I just got emoed watching this video.. by the way Finn you're my favorite punk rock dad after Greg Graffin
It’s just so many layers of irony and meta and reference. Incredible.
The Goth Moth is sexually abusive to his partners
He cheated on a couple girls but that’s about it.
Goth kids from SP "Did he just call us ....emo?"
I’m at an age where I don’t think I get to have a subculture. I’m very suburban dad during the week and take the kids to the family farm on the weekends.
They obviously failed Emo 101 and never learned that to be emo you deny being emo. Real emos identify as goth.
*OMG.* *I remember that $#!% !!!!* 😨😱
I have that yearbook lol that was vista Murrieta ca. I used to jam guitars with most of them and the second guy filmed my wedding. They were all super cool
Acapella pig squealing videos in 240p are the true definition of culture.

OH YELL YEAH BROTHA. I hate the emo noun …. Almost like it’s a proper noun and should be “Emo”. It’s to much like something you find in a zoo… an emu
Ronny Radke on a picnic table
I used to call them emo-kids back in 04-05 and back then it was a slur.
so edgy 🤪🤓
It's always worse than I think! 😢
dressage is my second favorite descendents song
To this day if I hear that a girl's name is Brie, I have to stop myself from pig squealing.
