Faith in GAF stocks are plummeting. Sell fast, get out while you can.
Not Emo, but commiserate with me.

I started questioning myself. I mean, I can't remember the last time I thought about The 3 Stooges.
Like, maybe I was the asshole in the situation for assuming that slapstick schtick comedy from the mid-20th century wasn't relevant.
I'm afraid to go into my lifelong infatuation with the Ramones, for fear of disappointing the mass of GAF who thought the thread would be about this dude:

SO I am not sure if I actually like Dance Gavin Dance for once... This new album is kinda cool but I have always hated them. Idk why it is clicking now for some reason.
I know not emo but there is crossover from a lot of us I assume. They just made popular what i dislike about the modern phc scene. A lot of screams with super clean vox
There are some bands i do like that have that style that aren't necessarily swancore though too.

Haha, I clicked on the thread, read the first post and thought what's the big deal about a thread about The Stooges. Then I saw that everyone is commenting on it so I went back and decided to read the comments then I saw what you meant. Terrible.

emotion is really good! I don't even really like pop but I ate up every minute. but with it tanking and being more of a cult classic album than as mainstream as Thriller, I don't know how far reaching it will eventually be.
The Get Up Kids recommendation is so on point, thanks kris
only listened to the Four Minute Mile album so far though...The Get Up Kids recommendation is so on point, thanks kris
ha dude tbh i've never listened to four minute mile, but i'll check it out. i was more referring to something to write home about. that album is the shit.
edit:
PUP and sorority noise are gonna be on watchdog 2's soundtrack and now i'm considering getting it someone help
Do it. I go back and forth between the two on which is my favorite get up kids album
I preordered Enter Shikari's Live at Alexandria on LP. The shipping hurt a lot (21 USD) so I bought the snapbacks that they finally got back in stock now that their tour is over. It was sold out at the Dallas show. It sounds really good.
e: So interestingly enough, the LP and the snap back went up 10 bucks...and shipping also went up like 8 dollars. I essentially saved $30 which is nice. If I had to pay $30 for shipping I definitely would have passed on both.

I laughed. Don't tell anyone.
I actually hadn't heard Crying, oddly, until a few days ago when I noticed they were the other band on the ticket. I really like what I've heard. A few songs remind me of The Breeders, with more beeps and boops. That said, my daughter is going to love them the most I am sure. She is currently all about the beeps. Grimes, Halsey, Anamanaguchi (who we saw in Seattle with Hatsune Miku at her insistence), and some even more EDM heavy things like Perturbator and Carpenter Brut. The emo influence is a constant work in progress =P

Just listened to the new Joyce Manor songs. I like em.

Throw it all out and just get her into the Breeders!
The ones I've heard definitely have an evolved sound and production. I really liked the simplicity of their earlier stuff, but I'm sure this will grow on me once I can listen to the entire album.
They're up there for me, and I agree.
That said, I just got my ticket to see them in Corpus Christi! WOO!!

I listened to these 2 songs yesterday and really like 'em. Is this band considered nu-emo?

I just saw them in SF. It was a great show. All the bands really brought it. Your daughter will enjoy it.
I've been slowing getting into the new Microwave.
It's not as immediate or catch as Stovall but it does have some more interesting guitar work and melodies. Not sure if the tradeoff is good enough. I mean, it's still a really good record and maybe even better than their latest but I'm not sure I like it more.
I also haven't listened to the new Yellowcard and tomorrow is Joyce Manor release day! Let's make tomorrow Joyce Manor day. I do declare it!

fuuuuuck i really wanted to go to that. i couldn't make it happen though
i've seen joyce a bunch of times but i wanted to see crying SO BAD
New Microwave has really grown on me. I really really like it, where I wasn't sure at all on the first listen.
The new Joyce Manor really surprised me. Not at all what I expected. Still super excited to see them tonight. Though I am more excited to see Hotelier...
Just listened to the new Joyce Manor and, on first listen, I love it. Just love it.
It sounds melancholic but their stuff always sounded like that to me. It has some more classic punk melodies than their usual stuff but then it has a song like Stairs that is unlike anything they have made.
I still need the lyrics and listen with them to get a better feeling about it but my first impression is a great one.

so I have been a pretty big hater of Dance Gavin Dance but I am really feeling their new album a lot. The only other album I have enjoyed of theirs is Acceptance Speech.
Never got the hype or anything but Mothership is a solid outing.
I gave the first few of Joyce a lil ol ear tingle.... shits gud
Also it really reminds me of a stripped down Mest, if you all remember that pop-punk band.

Joyce Manor continues to contribute to one of the strongest catalogs in pop punk. So fucking good.

Really enjoying it. Have to say that Stairs sounds like it could've been a b-side from Bleed American. Real good

I'm really digging the new Joyce Manor album.
It's definitely a jarring listen compared to their previous albums. A lot of the catchy riffs & melodies that are punk rock staples are abandoned in favor of some experimentation with song structure. I can see why this album is very controversial as this isn't a punk album at all. It's very much a band in transition from being a punk band to... something else. In many ways mirroring the fact that they are getting older. Pretty sure they don't want to repeat the past, but still trying to grasp with what the future represents.
Oh, & "Stairs" is definitely the standout song.

the only good pop-punk album recently from the "glory days" was New FOund Glory's from 2014

I'm a little bit of both on the new Joyce Manor. I liked that simplicity so part of me wants to go back to that, but I understand this is new approach. A few songs had this rolling riff, like Thin Lizzy does. Others seemed closer to 90's alternative without the overly fussy production that it started to wade into.
"Could you see me in your life?" is a certified Emo lyric though. And there are still hooks here.
And here's something I thought I wouldn't say in 2016... the new NOFX is pretty solid. Also a new approach. The clever kid in-joke wordplay is here but the tone is way, way more honest. The songs shift structure liberally. Haven't seen much of that out of them outside of The Decline.

I don't get the Joyce Manor hate. It has more traditional Punk riffs if anything else. The Green Day comparasion isn't bad since I can see how they borrow from that at times.
I love the record so far. It's a good mix of traditional Joyce Manor with more straight forward punk rock. It's good.
