"What do you mean that as a 25 year old with a career I have to stop listening to emo music?"

In any case, Spotify has been nailing lately.

I’m sorry, what are we supposed to do?

Is this a thing? Because my 25yo coworker was just freaking out today after finding out Fall Out Boy was touring near us soon.

Emo kids had their own music genre? Huh. Who knew.

Mostly pop-punk alt-rock nonsense. You know, the good stuff.

Im almost 40 and I still listen to Happy Hardcore rave music on a regular basis, especially when I’m working on projects (helps me focus).

Listen to what you want. You do you.

It looks like it morphed into alternative/grunge in the early ‘90s. The one you posted sounds like a rough cut of Green Day.

Back in my day, The Cure was considered emo music, and I was a little out there for listening to Depeche Mode.

Depeche Mode? Emo? I guess I can see it.

The funny thing is at 25 you were probably a bit young for that awkward period in the early 2ks where the music press wanted to call everything emo...

Also if your parents were halfway responsible you wouldn’t have been playing this:

I think I played through both the first ones in the engineering Dept cluster, they will definitely not have aged well....

I became a teenager in the late aughts and caught up since I missed most of it.

Not really, just commenting that DM was considered very different, even in an era where alternative was a big thing. The Cure was definitely emo though.

Completely off topic, but did you buy that gray Outback yet? I hate to sound like a 13-year old YouTube commenter.

Recently discovered Brand New, Los Campesinos! and Say Anything.

Waaay late to the party. 29 years old. Hell yeah.

It's a fun party! ... Is A Real Boy is a great album.

I’ll leave this highlight from 2019 in Oz here...

Then, of course, there is something emoish from a bit further back that was also nailed in 2019...

Actually, this cover came 5th in the Triple J Hottest 100 listeners poll ...just last weekend.

Not until late spring/early summer.

Awesome. I may be doing something big this summer, too. Because I’m going used, it’ll depend on availability of what I want.

Good luck! Any hints?

It’s been all over the map. For privileged reasons, I have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. T he t op choice now, by far, is a current gen Tacoma Limited 4x4 in Blazing Blue Pearl or Cavalry Blue (with brown leather). I’d get someone to wire smart key into the passenger door very quickly (a strange omission on those trucks), but these satisfy almost all of my wants. A 2020 Limited in Voodoo satisfies them all (passenger keyless access, surround camera, CarPlay, and a power seat). The Ranger Lariat would satisfy everything, but no sunroof at all (weird).

Oh, and I know I like how it drives.

I wanted to be low key, but I think why I want to sell the RAV4 and buy a Tacoma should be its own post. There’s a lot to explain and I wouldn’t have to constantly tell the story.

Say Anything is fantastic. We saw them in concert maybe 2 years ago.

Brand New is...problematic. They were my favorite band for a while but Jesse Lacey is not a good dude. If you haven't gotten too into them, it's easier to get out now.

Nauraushaun > CB
01/29/2020 at 23:39

It is! They toured it here in Aus a year or so ago. Good time

Nah I was already in. Science Fiction is a really good album. A shame about what happened and what he did though.

Chuckles > Nauraushaun
01/29/2020 at 23:49

I didn’t get to listen to Science Fiction before hearing about Jesse, so I just couldn’t get into it. I’ve tried listening to their other albums a few times but it just pisses me off. Life is too short to waste my time supporting shitty artists.
