I know I will! I've never met a FOB song I didn't like!

That's so fair! I know only a little about emo music (as in, the sound, not like... melancholy music). One of my favorites that I like is Blonde Hair, Black Lungs, by Sorority Noise. At least, I've been told that's emo music. I don't actually know, though. I really like it though! It's something of an acquired taste in the sound, but I love music like that.

I'll admit, I don't know a lot of those bands. They're not familiar to me, but I'd be happy to occasionally trade music with you, so I could learn some of them. I'm always glad to find new music.

I DO THAT SAME THING. This is what my Spotify looks like in its most base form. It's almost entirely playlists for characters, roleplays, or ships!

yeah, i'd call these guys emo! they've just started out a little later in the game. if you like this track you could try set phasers to stun by taking back sunday and go from there? if you're looking for something fun in the screamo area you could also sample some from first to last haha... it's all very taste dependent and tbh lot of the emo scene is really more around shared memories. so sometimes if you're like "why the fuck would anyone like this...." it's probably just more about the nostalgia.

your spotify is so organised.......lol i must show you my beautiful hell. click to visit the big versions...

Oh, good! I love that song, I stick it on character playlists when it fits. Ooh!! I like the song you linked me to (Set Phasers to Stun)! It's a lot of fun, and I looked up the lyrics, and they're interesting as well. I think I like the second one a little better though. I'm a big fan of screaming in music (well, as long as I can tell what they're saying! Sometimes that difficult because I have an auditory processing disorder. Usually I just look up the lyrics and follow along.

Nah, I don't question why anyone likes any music. Someone once told me that the music I listened to made them want to take antidepressents, lol, and they're not wrong. My taste in music generally revolves around angst. That's because I'm a huge sucker for it, I find it very cathartic!

If you don't mind my showing you two songs that I like... they're not emo, but they are some of my favorite songs. Neptune, by Sleeping At Last and What Could Have Been, by Sting (from the superb animated LOL show, Arcane).

Haha, my Spotify has to be organized, I have over 80 playlists, lmao. Yours looks kind of chaotic, but as long as it works for you, that's what matters, lmao. Mine is completely organized, like: one.

I like this song, Neptune! Really big throwback The Fray vibes, especially Look After You. I like their second album more, but if you like that song the majority of the second album (just called 'The Fray' lol) is very much like that track.

Oh wow Sting!! Still around! I like this song too. I haven't seen Arcane, but I need to eventually do that. I think I'll like it.

[cinderlite]

OH, I LOVE THE FRAY. I hadn't even made the connection between the two of them, but you're so right! They are very similar to each other. Thank you so much!!

Arcane is so stunning. It took me years to get around to watching it, but it immediately hooked me, and that's all it took. It's so well done. I hope you get around to it eventually. It's absolutely worth the watch. One of my all-time favorite shows, now.
