#like these bands. tbs and the used and paramore and panic and etc etc were all speaking to real emotion

i do think the recent my chem music journalism Discourse (in the traditional dialog sense.) is interesting bc this kind of weird defensiveness regarding mcr is something ive seen like since the reunion and in pieces about the "emo revival" where writers spend sooo much time offering themselves up to the altar of cringe or say shit like "well the pandemics made us all nostalgic for being 14 again" (smthing i actually read like sorry to you but i never want to be 14 again) and i think it truly boils down to people not taking my chem or any of this era like. seriously. as like intentional art. even by fans. it's so bizarre. like my chem were melodramic with a purpose not just something teenagers identified with and i have no idea why that keeps getting lost even during this recent period of like. sentimentality for the genre.

#obv by fans i mean like. ppl writing articles lmao i think we all are appreciative of mcrs clarity of purpose #like these bands. tbs and the used and paramore and panic and etc etc were all speaking to real emotion #and to see that get disregarded in this reevaluation for some yearning for better easier years when i could be more myself shit... #makes me feel crazy. like lets not pretend this subculture (which with emo is sooo fucking complicated a q in and of itself) is perfect #but to completely miss the point??? the sincerity????? esp in a time that was sorely needed both within music and societially. jesus. #my posts
