Favorite punk/emo music?
What up fellas. Don't bully me for this but the inner-teenager in me still loves blasting some Hawthorne Heights, My Chemical Romance, the Used, etc. while I'm cranking out cash flow models. At his point I've already incorporated all of the classics into my playlist (Papa Roach, Pianos Become the Teeth, Say Anything, Escape the Fate, Taking Back Sunday, etc.)
I'm curious if anyone has any recommendations for a newer album/artist that I can throw in my mix. Leave a link to your favorite song in your comment if you would be so kind. Looking for stuff in the realm of Picturesque / Falling in Reverse, ie, guys who are still putting out new music.
MGK doesn't count because he's a cornball and his most recent album was absolute garbage.
My current favorite jams:
Jack Kays & Travis Barker - Sideways
Picturesque - Prisoner
I'm right there with you brother, some recent tunes I think you'll like:
Bring Me the Horizon - Die4u
Motionless in White - Another Life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj2miRJ6bZs
Steve Aoki - Kult
Always - Blink 182
Feeling This - Blink 182
Adam's Song - Blink 182
The Hell Song - Sum 41
Walking Disaster - Sum 41
Mannnnn what kinda schmuck do you take me for that I don't already have Sum 41 and Blink 182 covered in my playlists? Preciate ya anyway though!
Haha I do realize these are pretty basic but I couldnt help but list my favorites. A few more that you may or may not know:
Josie - Blink 182 (again)
My Friends Over You - New Found Glory
Until the Day I Die - Story of the Year
Im Not Ok - MCR
96 Quite Bitter Beings - CKY
Out for Blood - Sum 41
Falling Apart - Zebrahead
Nikki - Forever the Sickest Kids
The Permanent Rain - The Dangerous Summer
Some harder stuff I listen to when I lift:
1. Sober / Hungover - Sueco / Arizona Zervas
2. Day of the Dead - Hollywood Undead
3. Living in my head - Lockjaw
4. All my friends are nobodies - Zebrahead
5. Disease - Beartooth
6. Bow Down - I Prevail
Recent artists? Rock is dead bruh. Just listen to the good shit from the 60s-early 2000s.
Depressing but I agree for the most part. While I'm normally happy to rock out to Metallica, Tom Petty, Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc. I'm always looking for some newer shit that I haven't played to death already. Slim pickings for sure. I feel the same way about rap too though. I'll take 90s / early 2000s Nas, Jay-Z, Outkast, Wu-Tang Clan etc. over all of the newer mumble rap, trap shit any day.
Nah rap is alive and well. You're just not paying attention.
Some recent stuff that I think is good:
- The Story So Far (any of their albums, but mainly Under Soil & Dirt / Self Titled)
- Movements (Feel Something)
- Don Broco (Technology)
Tony hawk pro skater soundtrack
/thread
I see you and raise you the Dave Mirra BMX soundtrack
I want to take a moment and defend MGK. I do not know why people hate on him so much other than the fact that he has terrible PR and disliking his music is in vogue. Tickets To My Downfall is one of the best rock albums of the past decade. Far better than anything Green Day has put out since American Idiot or mcr since black parade.
With all that said, Blink-182 is and always will be the king of punk. They have aged so well and continue to make quality music
I like all of his singles off of Tickets to My Downfall but as an album it was insanely repetitive and only the singles were even worth listening to. Once you hear My Ex's Best Friend and Bloody Valentine, you've essentially heard the whole album with the rest of the songs being homogenous filler. His follow up album, Mainstream Sellout, was absolute garbage imo.
But that's not why I hate on him, I just think he's corny as a human being even if I do like some of his singles. He first broke onto the rap scene trying to act all gangster and "urban" doing songs with Waka Flaka and being an all around wigger. Then when he failed to make it big in rap he all of the sudden switched his entire persona up and started acting like he was always little Mr. Punk Rock and dressing like a total douche. He went from imitating Slim Shady to imitating Travis Barker and it's wildly corny to me.
Dude went from....
to....
Culture Vulture shit. Shouts out to true lovers of hip hop who rejected this clown.
I get what you're saying, but I would disagree with your assessment of TTMD. Ex's best friend and Bloody Valentine aren't even the best songs on the album, and the former is pretty overrated to begin with. I will however consent to the fact that Mainstream Sellout was rather underwhelming (with the exception of "Aye" and "Die In California").
You'll see people give a variety of reasons for why mgk made the switch from rap to punk, from he wasn't going anywhere in the rap industry to Eminem ruining his career. Regardless of the reason, it doesn't take away the fact that he was a pretty decent rapper and he makes pretty solid rock songs. Also, as I said, he's been pretty bad about his public image. He routinely says idiotic things and has a terrible sense of fashion, plus seems incapable of maintaining a brand. But none of that warrants dismissing his music.
It is not one of the best albums of the last decade. I could name 100+ albums over the past decade that are superior to an almost objective degree; you just don't have good taste in music and should be banned from talking about it.
Some of these were high school bands for me so take with a grain of salt as some are a bit "whiny" but fun nevertheless as who doesn't like some teenage rage/confusion:
// Artist (album)
- Modern baseball (Sports / You're gonna miss it)
- Front Bottoms (The Front Bottoms / Talon of the Hawk)
- Gatsbys American Dream (Self titled / Volcano)
- New Found Glory (Sticks and Stones)
Some "newer" era punk artists:
-The Story so Far
-Neck Deep
-Point North
-Knuckle Puck
Other:
Angels & Airwaves
+1 on Point north and Knuckle puck
Parkway Drive bruv, not sure they are emo/punk tho more like metal core
Linkin Park and 21 Pilots
Recently started listening to Turnstiles
Anyone going to WhenWeWereYoung fest in Vegas later this year???
ill bite:
jimmy eat world - pain, sweetness, bleed american
bullet for my valentine - hand of blood
bring me the horizon - teardrops, throne, can you feel my heart
palisades - war, no chaser
Pendulum - crush
static-x - the only
blinded colony - my halo
Nonpoint - endure, bullet with a name
Celldweller - so long sentiment, into the void (formal one remix)
it dies today - a port in any storm
I went last year, it had Warped Tour vibes for sure - the first-timers hitting BeatBoxes too hard too early, getting sunburnt beyond recognition while the vets hang out by the water stations so they can actually make it to the headliners haha. It was amazing
lol thats sick, I was there too - was a vibe.
Brand New - Deja Entendu
It’s old (2003) but man that album is good.
Pennywise
Edit to also add on old school real Blink 182, Dude Ranch. I can still sing that entire album front to back twenty some odd years later.
Nice
Avril Lavigne is queen of the Earth. I could live on Avril alone.
Also:
Evanescence ("Bring me to Life"), Paramore, Simple Plan, The All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Good Charlotte, The Dandy Warhols, Boys Like Girls, ("The Great Escape"), Third Eye Blind, Fountains of Wayne (maaay fit this genre), Jimmy Eat World (again, maaaybe fits the genre), Lana del Rey (may sort of kind of fit), From Ashes to New (a newer band that is very much in the vein of Linkin Park), Kid Rock/Limp Bizkit/Puddle of Mudd/Linkin Park (in the Papa Roach vein), Alien Ant Farm, The Beastie Boys, Michelle Branch (some of her edgier stuff, such as "Are you Happy Now?"), Yellowcard, Vertical Horizon (sort of fits), No Doubt, Offspring, SR-71, Blessid Union of Souls ("She Likes me for me"), Switchfoot, Trapt ("Headstrong"), select Lady Gaga songs (e.g., "Bad Romance" and "Poker Face"), Weezer, Pink, New Found Glory, Neon Trees (maybe fits), Lit ("My Own Worst Enemy"), Liz Phair, Katy Perry (that's a stretch though but she has some edgier stuff), Imagine Dragons ("Radioactive"), Eminem, Bowling for Soup, The Buggles ("Video Killed the Radio Star"), honestly, Alanis Morrisette has at least one song ("You Oughtta Know") that is so angry I love it, Bloodhound Gang ("The Bad Touch"), Ashlee Simpson ("Lal La"), adding a Papa Roach collaboration - Wolf Totem, which is an amazing song
Some good modern artists are
Sueco
Huddy
Lil Lotis
Magnolia Park
Point North
never heard of first 2 but come on lil lotus and magnolia park... lol. point north is good though.
Chiodos - Baby, you wouldn't last a minute on the creek
Jasaih & travis baker - right now
I heavily fucked with BMTH, suicide silence and pierce the veil in the early 10s. Currently get my fix of 'emotional' metal / music from DSBM.
Love these bands:
lifelover, nocturnal depression, xasthur, totalselfhatred.
It's really great stuff. Wall of sound, pretty relaxing
My personal favourites are:
Your Guardian Angel - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Always Be My Baby - David Cook
Empty - Click 5
Tonight - FM Static
Paramore should be an obvious complement to MCR, the Used, etc right? Great pop punk sound - excellent diversifier to classic punk, punk rock, emo rock, pop rock etc. Smooth and accessible, a great segue to softer and smoother sounds if you want to go down that route. MCR, very interestingly, denies that they are emo or punk, and instead calls their music rock. Which I agree with that interpretation
been listening to a lot of my ticket home lately, though I doubt anyone knows them lol.
Surrounding is their best song
dang I'm surprised anyone on here knew about them lol... I like that album with spit not chewed on it though a lot of the songs sound the same... also a couple of songs on the gasoline kiss album
This is the best song out by far today:
Deleted, care to share the name? Or was it just that ginger bellyaching about Rich Men North of Richmond?
it is the wingstop girl metal remix
Green Day is classic
