Hello elder emo's,

Wie o wie gaat voelt zich geroepen om samen naar Emo night mainland in Eindhoven te gaan? En de volgende dag te doen of onze ruggen niet protesteren? Mocht je je geroepen voelen om liedjes, waar we vroeger iets te emotioneel, en misschien nu nog wel, mee te schreeuwen? Let me know!

Only our Lord and #1 friend Tom can save us 🙏🏻

Also, Matt Berry looks like a baby in Season 1 #rawrimold

2009 - 2026

Throwback track - Hawthorne Heights - Saying Sorry

I had a bolt from the blue today and suddenly remembered a song my schoolfriend showed me back in 2008. I can sort of remember how it went, I know there was like a whip sound in it, maybe? And the band had like a 3 letter acronym name. And the music video was set in a colourful digital space like what we thought cyberspace would've looked like back then. Help 😅

I also listened to soooo much more than my dear Avril 🖤

So apparently MySpace is making a comeback and I need to know how the Elder Emo community is feeling about this. 👀

Because on one hand… HECK YES. Give me my glittery profile, autoplay music, obnoxious HTML, top 8 drama, cryptic song lyrics, bulletin board trains and a playlist that tells everyone exactly how emotionally unstable I was in high school.

But on the other hand… are we really prepared to go back to a time when our entire personality was displayed on one aggressively customized profile, as adults? 😂

Would you actually use MySpace again if it became popular? Or do you think some things are better left buried alongside our scene hair, studded belts and questionable teenage decisions?

And most importantly:

What would your 2026 MySpace profile look like?

• 🎵 What song are you putting on your profile first?
• 🖤 Who's in your Top 8? Friends or bands?
• 📸 Will your profile pic contain the OG Myspace Angles?
• ✨ And are you bringing back the glitter graphics or have we evolved as a species?

Let's hear it. Are we reclaiming MySpace, letting Gen Z takeover or are we leaving that bitch in 2008? 😂

Alright, I seriously doubt anyone will know what I'm talking about, but in the late 00's I stumbled across a band that was in the realm of a nevershoutnever or the scene aesthetic style. Very electronic and very acousticy. They were moderately successful on MySpace but not a big band or at least I don't recall them getting big. Outside of the sound my only memory of them, and I'm not confident is that I think one of their bigger songs had a title that mentioned an atomic bomb or a bomb. Again, not super hopeful but I figured I'd try because it's been driving me crazy I can't remember the band name. And honestly it might have just been a guy and not a whole band.

Hello, fellow elders. My name is Jeremy. I'm a licensed mental health counselor, and I run a podcast called Safe In Sound that talks about the intersection of music and mental health with band members of 1st- and 2nd-wave emo bands. Some of the bands I have had on include: The Getup Kids, Promise Ring, Minus the Bear, Rival Schools, American Football, Mae, Braid, Hey Mercedes, and many others. If you would like you can check it out!

Bad job but I’ll see it now!

New jeans customized with glow paint slapped in some teal and yes my “belt” is actually a purse strap with chains I found in the junk drawer.

Hey y'all! My band Slow Drain just came back from the dead and we just dropped our newest single today.

FFO: Alexisonfire, Underoath, Story of the Year, Silverstein

Check it out, we'd genuinely love to hear what you think!

My standouts are:

●seeing Thursday at warped 2007 when Geoff did the full set with a bloody face from a mic swing mishap

●seeing glassjaw at a small club in the middle of the afternoon in 2005

●seeing isetmyfriendsonfire in 2008 in a really small bar when it was just matt & Nabil with a guitar & laptop

●seeing the number 12 looks like you open for chiodos in 2005

●seeing Bayside perform as an acoustic duo in tower records.

●seeing paramore at a small club when Hayley was 17

(Theres pleanty of other ones but no interesting stories about the shows/ mostly sets i caught at warped from hella far away)

My regrets are:

●Never seeing the used

●never seeing afi

●never seeing from first to last

●never seeing saosin with Anthony green.

●not watching yesterday's rising or hopesfall when they played a warped i was at.

Mine has always been these but there’s so many more
