I can hear sounds. Words, even. Maybe even English ones! Took a short listen to the last ones, this one sounds better. Like you're actually talking toward the viewer instead of toward the echoey room or into the underside of a blanket.
I'd be even more liberal with the subculture gatekeeping (15:53) and say that the look can be entirely separate from the sound can be entirely separate from the attitude. Like, you can look emo without listening to MCR, or the other way around. You also don't have to be sad or angry as a part of your style. The same way someone can sport a punk mohawk without listening to NOFX or can listen to Anti-flag without actually being an anti-statist. I think Pale Wavves makes the statement pretty well by being a synth-pop artist that looks goth, or even Lady Gaga who makes pop music but has always been a metalhead. People can look, sound, and act however they want. You can say someone is "not real emo," but at the end of the day, it's really just up to them whether or not they... care?
i agree! i was coming from the angle of “as long as someone knows an entry amount of knowledge about the subculture then there’s not really a reason for them to be gatekept” but i worded my thoughts weirdly (as i tend to do xD)
i agree! Look, dress, act, and listen to whatever music you want, but i'd say that if you're also going to label yourself "emo" for example, you should at least have the entry level knowledge, and since emo IS a music style, it would be a little weird if you were emo but didn't like/listen to emo music. It's also important to remember not to steal another alt subculture's label, if that makes any sense. Like what's happening with grunge for example. People have given grunge a completely new definition and those who stuck true to grunge's true meaning are pissed off, for good reason. I think in that situation gatekeeping probably isn't the right word. Subculture's have their specific criteria to label yourself as such, but of course you can sport a mohawk without being punk. I think everyone probably just needs to learn to be a little more respectful toward each other.
I’m 30 now & although I no longer have my hair in this style, my fashion sense remains the same for the most part. I truly enjoy watching all the baby emo’s nowadays. You guys make my little black heart happy 🖤
Your content is so fun and refreshing, I’m going through a really hard time with mental health and watching your videos make me very happy. Thank you :)
with gate keeping, we all have to remember we all started out somewhere. we all were that 13 yo kid who wanted to be alt or emo or punk once. so we cant really gatekeep (most the time...) when someone wants to be alt. unless they are only doing it to get more veiws on tik tok ( i refuse to own tik tok so idk the trends so..) then u might not be frowned upon for gatekeeping as much.
I went to goodwill today and got a bag of letter and pony beads. I saw a neon yellow letter one and then realised something. "This bead says time on it lol" *flips over* "will....WAIT-" somehow I now own the same "will time" bead as acidmilk except mine is painful yellow.
I was one of the only emo kids in my small town middle school around 2012. The other two emos included a Dan and Phil flower crowns shipper that wore band tees and a combat boots wearing BVB stan. I was a nightcore and hottopic emo that could never figure out how to discover new bands. Our only overlap in music was MCR, but we still became friends from our shared outcast experience (I really liked how you edited today's video
you absolutely don't need to dress scene if you have scene hair!!! i'm tradgoth and my hair is scene but instead of lots of colors it's red and black. and it looks good!!' it's just all about the color honestly
thank you, I really needed this video, I'm about to head off to uni and I'm packing while writing this. I got emotional seeing my room with all my posters and little knick-knacks took down but I just put this on in the background and it's all fine now. just thought id let ya know you helped someone today :)
Honestly, I’m not that kind of person who can watch through a long as$ video like this, like I can only go to 10 minutes. But your videos I can watch through all the way, especially the ones where you chilling and just talking about random stuff.
This evokes So Much memories! Kandi bracelets are not only easy to make but simple yet strikingly expressive and a perfect match with any custom style, also the Pikachu hat but esp. your fringed shortcut and patterned tanktop is so Scene, reminding me of Hayley Williams to an extent! I really appreciate you preserving this Alt. legacy and having it continue even to this era. Salute!
Okay, so I'm new here and I *never* comment on youtube videos but I just couldn't leave this video without letting you know how obsessed I am with your content. This is the second video of yours that I have watched so far and you have already become my favourite youtube channel, so thank you!! Please keep making content (if you're in the right space for it of course)!
I think people should watch your videos when they have to do a plank, because I came into this thinking I’d only stick around for a few minutes, but I blink and the video’s over. You’re so so entertaining!!
idk if you’d wanna know or not but since you’re a vegan i felt like i should mention that wet n wild tests on animals! they didn’t for a very long time and then started to which is a huge bummer
Omg I an glad I wasn't the only one listening to jj demon and dot dot curve!! Most of my friends either listened to the stereotypical emo bands or where into metal. They didn't get it. Breathe carolina still slaps and I really liked Issues/tyler carter
I love your hair and style! I have a buzz cut right now but once my hair is long enough, I wanna make my hair like yours! Shit looks cool breh. Love that dress 2. Ur content helps me when I’m kinda lonely.
i hate stretch magic not only because it distegrates or however u spell it but i used to skate alot and when i was first starting out making kandi i made a whole bunch of singles out of stretch magic and i fell ONCE and THE SHIT JUST FLEW EVERYWHERE omg i was so mad and and i would literally spend hours only making one bracelet cuz at the start i was so clumsy and i think not only that just stretch magic is horrible to start out with or something cuz my hand kept slipping idk and was like oh did i tie it wrong or something but no it is just stretch magic and any other flimsy strings now i use only elastic cord for singles and if i need to for like a carousel cuff at the end layers i use tighter less stretchy cord
Can we just embrace tradition and reject what is considered alternative for the y2k? At this point I’m struggling to either dress up as Creepy from Growing up Creepy or put on my Gir hoodie from middle school and pretend I’m him for a day. No offense but the emo/ scene days were 10x better the cores we got. Also would you ever do a room tour?
It's nice to hear someone that likes hyperpop I haven't met like anyone else that listens to shit like that the hyperpop/glitchcore/nightcore bitches are like non existent now I am part of a dying species.
oh my goodness i clicked because i love kandi and i thought u were pretty and then i saw your folie vinyl and my jaw DROPPEDDD immediately subscribing 😭😭😭 and great video !! very entertaining:3
you should listen to some more hyperpop! some of my homies in the scene make RLLY RLLY good music. at least imo lmao. you should listen to move on! by dynastic, SICKOFIT. by Button Maker (ft. Daria St. Clair), Silly by p4rkr, and DIAL UP by DEATH DLX. also if u like gecs definitely check out some of Laura's solo music like hardcore will never die / 909. sorry for shilling my friends lol. u should also listen to Escape Room which is a genre that shares a lot of similarities to hyperpop, but it's much more industrial.
This comment is hella late, but if ur lookin for a good deathcore band, try listening to Enterprise Earth - they're my favorite !! Also, regarding hairdressers not knowing how to cut emo hair, that's not completely true. I was lucky enough to get someone who used to cut a lot of emo hairstyles back in the day, so she knows what she's doing :3 u just gotta ask around !
@@acidmilk666 thanks but in my state my dollar tree has nothing at all, but I’ll have to check five below, I’ve never been there- but thanks anyway now i have something else to do with my live :]
Idkbut when you talk its not like other UA-camrs that I just skip that I'm able to sit through and listen to what you're saying which makes me like your videos more. XD
Thanks for the r/shittyveganfoodporn reccomendation lol I can’t stop scrolling on there 😆 it’s incredible and makes me love my fellow vegans even more. We’re all just doin our thing
My cousin is vegan and she orders a pizza with no cheese and sprinkles her own vegan cheese on top. Get the pizza with onions because they carmelize themselves and gives an illusion of cheese too lmao
i never really listened to blood on the dance floor- i’ve heard a few of their songs but not really to listen to them just on tiktok. and then i saw ppl say it was about kids and i just kinda tried to stay away from it
It is VERY hard to find good scene music by good people, i like 6arleyhuman and odeari, there is ALOT of drama in that community but im glad the pedophile aligations where debunked!
I've been cutting my hair with a pair of broken nail scissors for the last half a year because I don't wanna use a razor and am too lazy to search for my actual hairdresser scissors...
8:52 this is the same for me, like yeah if someone showed me a song they wanted me to listen I’ll listen to it. But I might not overall like it. I’m more of a Nu-Metal/metsl genre listener (for when I listen to metal music in my free time]
btw i messed around w my audio settings and i think the sound is better but y’all are the audience so let me know what u think👀👀
I can hear sounds. Words, even. Maybe even English ones!
Took a short listen to the last ones, this one sounds better. Like you're actually talking toward the viewer instead of toward the echoey room or into the underside of a blanket.
YES you’re a lot louder which I like yaya
Yeah it's a lot louder which is great :>
can we buy a bracelet or the hair strand xD
Honestly I can't really tell a difference ur video editing's always good
You’re literally the only person I can sit and watch talk for hours and never get bored
Ikr I've watched all of their videos over 10 times xD

Good for not being on tiktok. It’s so toxic 🤦♀️

I honestly almost freaked out when I saw the Folie a Deux album 😂

AAAaa that makes me so happy😭😭
Some scene band recommendations not listed but i also like: Millionares, 3!OH3, and Escape the Fate (kind of)
i really love the short hair! its so nice to have people who are in the scene community who don't all have really long hair lol
Honestly, I’m not that kind of person who can watch through a long as$ video like this, like I can only go to 10 minutes. But your videos I can watch through all the way, especially the ones where you chilling and just talking about random stuff.

Mentally embracing tradition until I can rebuild scene/emo wardrobe
@@oliverpolymer same but I need to stay off SHEIN, ROMWE, and thrift shops
you are slowly inspiring me to make a youtube channel…
i saw the folie a deux album and the steven universe painting and i was like “YOOOOOO” and also THANKS PETE I LOVE YOU FOR THAT
I am an alternative person in hair school,, hoping to turn around that stereotype of people not being able to do alternative hair in salons
your vids are such a serotonin booster !! :D
It's a kewl beanie
No idea what I am watching but it's mighty relaxing.
the pink purple and yellow kandi kinda reminds me of the trixic pride flag! (trixic is nblw, like a version of sapphic for nonbinary people)
smarties pride kinda looks like the new bigender flag w the pink and yellow lol
STOP UR HAT IS SO CUTE
This is one of the most nostalgic videos ever! 😃
I remember most of this crap; I'm so old! 🤣
Royalty is back everyone
(Your new room is so cool omg)

i LOVE talks about alt subcultures & style & music!
You’re so cute and you’re right about the scene getting worse in 2013 bands just changed for the worse.
