HAIIIIIIII HERE R SOME FACTZZZZZ ABT MEEEEEEE!!!!!!:
I've been a scene/emo kid since liek I was 9 or 10????? Idk it's been a very long time lol! My sister was the one that got me into all of it, she introduced me to sick azzzzz bandz like P!ATD, Marianas Trench, Saosin, Paramore, The All American Rejects and many more!
For a very long time (during my middle school and high school years) I wasn't able to express myself the way I wanted to except for clothing wise so I'd wear band tees but emo/scene was starting to fade out and so I sorta missed it and for yeaaaaarrrrsssss we didn't have a Hot Topic (cuz ig that's just how it was in Canada for a long time rip :/) but now with the resurgence of it coming and me having adult money I can express myself however I want!!!!!!!! >:333
I'm so glad to see that emo and scene have made a comeback! It makes me sooooooo happiii!!!! :33
Anyways this is pretty much all you need to know about me for now ig :3

Apparently something happened this year involving 3 of the artists on this poll...
Anyway, last poll I talked about the 2008 financial crisis and now more than ever we can see the effects the Great Recession were having on popular music. Upbeat party music provided listeners with a feeling of escape. The Black Eyed Peas shifted their style from hip-hop to a more electropop sound, leading to the groups commercial peak. Songs like Lady Gaga's Just Dance presented lyrics about having a good time despite everything falling apart. Musically, the latter half of the decade was defined by electropop. To quote James Oldham, the head of A&R at A&M Records at the time:
"All A&R departments have been saying to managers and lawyers: 'Don't give us any more bands because we're not going to sign them and they're not going to sell records.' So everything we've been put on to is electronic in nature." (x)
Even outside of pop music, the rising popularity of the electronic sound and online distribution allowed musicians easier access to production tools and audiences. According to Michael Angelakos of Passion Pit, the electronic sound allowed him to make music while still living in his dorm. While not obvious now, this small-scale "bedroom pop" sound will become even more prevalent in the following decade.
Another staple of this sound is the increasing popularity of Auto-Tune. We already discussed its use with artists like T-Pain, but Kanye West's use of the plugin on 808s & Heartbreak is also notable. Instead of using the vocal effect as the backbone for a party track, here Auto-Tune is used to convey the coldness of the lyrical content. While incredibly controversial, this album would be a huge influence over the genre. And when we look at the direction rap starts to head in the coming decades, the changes in the genre don't make sense without bringing up this album.
And with that, the 2000's have come to a close and we are finally reaching the next full decade of these polls.
Pop punk is THE babytrans guy music genre. I've been relistening to my favourite bands that I basically worshipped when I was 13-14 and like ...that's so me !
Yeah I feel like a loser ! Yeah I just want to stay in my room forever and listen to music too loud ! Yeah I hate my parents ! Yeah I feel like nobody understands me ! Yeah I'm scared I'm gonna be stuck in a town that sucks forever ! Yeah I get a crush on every girl I meet !
It really hits all the sucker feelings, so good to embrace the moody idiot inside.
It generally makes me sad that I will never see mcr in they’re prime or like p!atd, FOB, ptv like yk what I mean? Ofc all these groups play again expect p!atd but either way they split up in like 2009 so i couldn’t see them anyway. Idk it’s something that makes me go crazy but I need more moots with those same interests LIKE I NEED MCR MOOTS FS CUZ I HAVE NO ONE TO TALK ABT THE GROUP WITH!!
Like we can message on insta or something idk like make a group chat with a bunch of other ppl that like that kind of music nd jus talk abt it :p
