Emo was created to *Checks notes* demoralize the white race

Slop.Babe, wake up, new anti-Semitic conspiracy just dropped
i'm blue aba di aba die
He’s got a point here. I listened to one dashboard confessionals song and was promptly diagnosed with emo.
This is like that dude who thought he cracked the code of the universe when he realized that television was “tell a vision” and therefore TV is satanic because it’s witchy

Oh, ok, you mean there's gonna be a commercial sponsor or something?
No no no no! Nothing so tacky like that! We just want you to have some self destructive themes.

Nobody listens to music but white people, as we all know.
Elmo was created to destroy the white race
Didn’t Jordan Peterson accuse Elmo of reverse-racism?
So chuds, if there’s no such thing as racism, how can reverse racism exist if racism cannot exist?
I can't pull it up readily nor cite my sources, but I recall the chord progressions endemic to emo music being similar to those found in Jpop and their associated anime openings. So those coming of age stories where hard work creates poetic justice would be in the same zeitgeist, attract the same people, and contradict him. This leaving the core of the argument being about whether boys are allowed to cry (No. Nobody cries until the revolution is over, obviously)
Linkin park? Uh does he not realize that
“Real Emo" 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
Rites of Spring are great, but the only time anyone talks about them is in reference to how x band is "fake" because RoS did it first and better. And even if that is true, and in some ways it usually is, I doubt the point of their music is to make the bands they influenced look bad.
I know it is a copypasta, but there are like a million articles just like this one, and most that ive seen mention Rites of Spring in shitting on some other group.
Rites of Spring are a weird case because due to being the go to Real Emo band for people to namedrop, because at the time Fugazi and post-hardcore was semi mainstream and there is direct connection via members, so music elitists would cite them cause its the earliest and rarest example they knew of. The other side of the emo split, screamo kinda happened at the same time and was more associated with the crust and grindcore scene and they sound like it. Pitchfork wasnt recommending people listen to Heroin, they were hyped on Fugazi. I think this led to a feedback loop where a lot of later pop punk style emoji bands did take influence directly from Rites of Spring while skipping the history in between.
Moss Icon is the better DC emo band.
i like mcr, possibly more than americ anfootball and mineral, but lumping them in with the other two is crazy
The meme is just saying the jangly emo stuff is too different to be "real emo". Ironically enough the first MCR album is definitely inspired by DC emocore

oh yeah, this one sounds straight out of the 90s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOLfblOB2e8
The album slaps from start to finish. If MCR didn't sign to a major label and disbanded, that album would've gained a cult following by the "real emo" 4chaners

While this copy pasta may be infamous, it is also 100% correct
Correct? Perhaps. Annoying as shit? Definitely.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Have you ever listened to Pg 99 or Cap N Jazz? If not check em out and compare thst to MCR or Sunny Day Real Estate. It is entirely different music
I see your point, and I don't disagree. It's just that the tone of that copypasta is giving me war flashbacks to early 2010s punk/metal elitism and hyper-categorization of genres ~~which probably had nothing to do with the prevalence of neo-nazi infiltration efforts~~
green day are real emo
Emo was started when punk bands in Washington DC wanted to play slower songs and that's kinda it
I'm as white bread as they come and we were all depressed way before emo music. The 90's were miserable and you couldn't sing about fucking so it had to be about break ups and heroin
this music is really getting to the crowd.
Eh, making teenagers depressed is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Also if you actually talked about feelings too explicitly you were called every slur for being gay possible.
emo music making white people depressed instead of depressed white people making emo music
Bro put the carriage in front of the horse
Tumblr chuds are a different breed of dipshit
"#reichblr #reich fandom" is real thing on Tumblr btw, and the staff does nothing about them (they are too busy banning transfems)
Tumblr chuds are the type to unironically go "listen👏to👏the👏lived👏experiences👏of👏white👏south👏africans👏" (in between creating a sideblog to just spam the n word in trans womens asks)
Smol bean nazis
Linkin Park isn't even an emo band lol
it starts with
scientology, i don't know why
when thetans are chasing us all across the sky
Things aren't the way they were before
L.Ron wouldn't even recognise me anymore
Not that you Xenu me back then
Who cares, it doesn't even matter
Research shows that sad music (or art of any kind) is a remedy for sadness. When I’m depressed, the last thing I want to turn on is some happy bullshit. I would rather listen to something that validates what I was feeling before I played the song.
Kinda off topic, but this is why horror movies actually have a positive effect on mental health because they give the emotion of fear a simulated playground.
Dude is trying to reinvent Zhdanovist propaganda theory from first principles but for chuds.
Written by a Skeksis
Oh, so that's why the lyrics to every emo song is like:
skeksis? is this anti-semitism or just deep, non-canonical Dark Crystal lore?
No one tell them what an earworm means, they might actually explode.
: “Not everything you brown people dislike is racist, but everything I dislike is reverse-racist!”
CHUDs have become their own strawman of liberals, but for white people. Everything is a conspiracy or heavily veiled insult at them. Everything must be censored, and they want everything they even slightly disagree with to be destroyed. And they’re the good guys because well….they just are, ok?
