  • Are Emo Tiktokers just elder emos?
    Let's embrace the cringe and talk about emo tiktok.
    I talk about Johnnie Guilbert TX2 and Kyle Gordan.
    What are the best and worst emo TikToks?

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 and Riot Fest.

    I’ve been watching Johnnie Guilbert for around 8 years now and honestly I like his music. I rarely like music made by people who are mainly CZcamsrs but I think he’s genuinely talented and has pretty great lyrics as well. I’ve watched his music grow over the years and some of his recent stuff such as Zombie are amazing!!

      Johnnie is definitely not an OG
      he doesn't make emo music
      he makes mediocre music, the only types of songs ive liked from him was covers when it was just him and his guitar and not with some over the top autotuned crap with a shitty beat that sounds too pop to be considered emo.
      i would actually say that the only thing that makes him emo is his style of clothing and tattoos.
      i really dont get the hype
      im 1000% sure it's only because he's attractive that he's this popular.
      his 'comedic' videos is only targeted to people under the age of 14 because of the childish and loud mr beast type of editing.

    My problem with Tiktok when it comes to music especially emotionally driven ones such as emo is you need to hear it up to the chorus and the end to get the full effect. When they repeat the chorus in a loop it takes away from the emotional impact of the chorus. You don't get that hit when it isn't a surprise. Yeah it can be the most fun and catchy part, but the words that lead up to it make it have more of an impact. Take "The Black Parade" for example. If you only heard the chorus the song doesn't have much context. Listen to it from the beginning and you get the heavy instruments and buildup which makes it more powerful. I understand that this is how younger audiences are discovering artists outside of the mainstream, but there is still nothing like listening to a song for the first time from the beginning and letting it all sink in.

    I think that the main reason why the pop punk scene was upset at MGK and the new TikTok wave making or trying to make pop punk mainstream again, is that pop punk was perfectly fine where it was in the 2010s as part of the indie scene.
    Bands like Neck Deep, State Champs, Citizen, Fireworks, The Story So Far, The Wonder Years, Stand Atlantic, Real Friends and Knuckle Puck were making some of the best music of the genre.

    "Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
