as an aesthetic genre, emerged alongside its musical counterpart in the early 2010s. It is characterized by a distinctive visual style that often incorporates elements of early internet culture, 1980s and 1990s nostalgia, glitch art, and surrealism.

Ozzy Osbourne died yesterday I guess. Metal is mostly miss, occasional hit for me but I decided to listen to this because of the news. It's like some intermediary between what we think of as metal and hippie jam music. They would probably hate to be compared to that but you know... They were closer to it than meal fans want to admit, so that means the gnarliest, heaviest most extreme metal of today has some connection back to peace love and hippie music.

idk i think she's pretty cool

Her career began during the 1970s New York City no wave scene as the singer and guitarist of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, which is the era of her work that I'm most familiar with.

This is the discography of that band:

No Wave

It's noise music with the instrumentation and aesthetic of punk rock. The most interesting thing about it is that it occurred along side and was contemporary with the earliest 1970s New York punk and yet it sets the stage for every flavor of post-punk genre to come.

While 1970s punk might have started in dingy clubs with musicians that were not trying to blow up, it instantly became the commercially viable pop rock of the era. It's interesting that while that evisceration of punk culture was going on, there were extremely influential and authentic punk acts that would push the genre into the directions we would see develop further in the 80s.

As far as I see it, 80s hardcore music owes its entire existence to the no wave scene.

In this thread, we're going to look at Lydia Lunch in 1970s New York.

Don’t Even Post Viper

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

I've been diving back into old emo/screamo after not listening to a lot of it for over ten years. I'm keeping a record of things I've been listening to in this thread so that maybe I won't forget all the obscure records this time around.
