I'm not black but as an Asian woman I felt like an anomaly for liking this type of music growing up in the 2000s. Seeing diversity in a genre you love does make a difference
People don't realize that many legendary bands in rock and metal have people of color: Queen (South Asian), Bad Brains (Black), Dream Theater (East Asian), Ill Nino (Latino), Testament (Native American), System of a Down (Middle Eastern).
You can tell they're going to be absolutely fucking massive, the hooks are ridiculous, it's got riffs for DAYS and the frontwoman has such a unique energy.
As the father of two young kids of color who LOVE hard rock and punk, I'm so grateful that your band exists and can't wait to share the "Garden" video with them. Keep doin' your thing!!
At 19 and tearing up cause as a younger emo wanting to make music if my own, I was always so discouraged. Seeing another black woman in the industry and on her way up make me so happy! Definitely found some new favourites!
Love the metal-influenced bass drum gallops! Glad I saw an ad for this group a couple months back, cuz this shit still slaps. Congrats to them on a very well-received debut!
This literally makes me want to cry because growing up I remember thinking it was wrong to be black and love anything but rap 🙄🙄. My friend showed me this and I instantly got high school flashbacks 💜💜. Thank you for the representation of black women in rock
You know black Americans invented Rock and Roll right? Crazy how it’s associated with suburban white culture when it originally was an off shoot of R&b/blues and the struggles of the times.
@@mattm9689 yeah I noticed how A LOT of black created genres get a "white" lable on it. I NEVER knew up untill recently as a black woman that black people made the rock-'n'-roll genre!
My former emo kid self is tearing up, I love seeing this! A POC band that plays the music i loved and was made fun of for loving when I was a kid. This is amazing to see and I hope this band has major success
I’m a 27 year old adult and this makes me beyond happy. People say the most whack shit when you’re a black person who isn’t what people see when they watch tv.
You took the words right out of my mouth! I am living for this band already having just found them today, and I wish there were more bands that looked like this when I was a teen listening to this type of music.
Absolutely the first thing that came to mind for me. This band was all I wanted to see when I was in 9th grade. I wish them all the success in the world.
It’s like I’m see myself. It’s a happy song but I’m tearing up because I feel seen. I’m almost 30 but this girl is living my dream and I’m proud of her.
Omg I recognize the drummer girl from a tøp cover she did years ago. And I remember yall starting a band called meet me at the alter. YOU GUYS ACTUALLY GOT SIGNED BY FUELED BY RAMEN?!?!? CONGRATULATIONS 👏👏🎉🎉
This completely blew my mind. First of all, the vocalist has such an amazing voice. And the resting of the band was absolutely killing it, like I’m so impressed. I grew up as a black emo girl, and I think most of us know that there isn’t much representation in the alternative/rock/punk music scene. This absolutely warmed my heart and I can’t wait to dive deep and find out more.
15 year old me is SOBBING. Our future kids will finally see themselves promoted in the rock industry. It’s about damn time!!!!! We need more of this. There’s too many talented kids out in the world. I’m so happy for them. I know they’re excited 💓💓💓💓. For their debut song to be a hit too?! Phew! I’ll be streaming! I won’t shut up about this that’s for sure 😂.
@@16KidGuitar I know that, but in my many years of heavily being into alt rock I've never seen black rock bands being supported by major companies like Fueled By Ramen. Especially in between 2006-2012. That's what I'm getting at.
I'm legit crying!!!!! I needed this when I was 15 but I'm glad 15 year old alt black kids have something they will be able to truly identify with. it's so amazing.
I can't believe I'm actually watching this!!! u girls are so young and already signed w fueled by ramen, it's crazy!!! I really hope I can see u live one day and say hi!! MM@TA is going worldwide, put on your seatbelts.
I'm a black dude, and today is my 31st birthday. I was an unashamed emo kid when I was in my teens and I decided to take a trip down memory lane with my old emo music...and then I came across your band. And I can't even begin to tell you how happy it makes me to see an all POC all girl band playing the music I got made fun of for liking. Thank you so MUCH for just being you, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make next
Yesssss Ada killing it on the drums! I’ve been watching her drum covers since high school (I’m 23 now) and it’s so cool to see her succeeding like this!
This is the type of positive influence the world needs right now, in every single way ❤️ love your sound and your message! So tired of hearing all the negativity and hate in music today, this is so refreshing. ❤️❤️
Don't get me wrong I love EDM music but I really do miss the days of Punk Rock like blink 182 (I know they came out with a recent album and it's good but it's not the same without Tom Delonge.), All American Rejects, Anti Flag, and more. We still need more of this music too and I really like this! It really remindes me Paramore!
Dude what!? I remember hearing about them looking for a singer when i was still in high school. Their singer is certainly talented. Everyone is! I'm so glad to see how far they've come!
I'm 31 and I'm bawling my eyes out because I see these kids doing something my closest friends had only dreamed of. They never got to see this and it breaks my heart.
I just found them. I literally clicked the link BECAUSE the singer is black and representation matters, especially in a genre of music that doesn't feature many black artists. Bad ass bitch right here. She's KILLIN it!!!!
@@snazzydrew I legit cried too. They are going to make black and other poc alternative girls feel so seen. I remember being a scene kid and having nobody that looked like me doing this sort of music and style. I hope one day they get to collab with Paramore. I feel like Hayley would totally be down for it 💖
GET IT TÉA! I remember riding the bus with with the guitarist Tea Campbell and look at her now. Im so proud of her and how far she’s come with the band.
Everyone keeps asking me if I've heard of MMATA and the answer is YES!!! since June! I am so proud of you gals so much. When touring is safe again PLEASE COME TO RICHMOND!!!
From the bright eyes, to the cheery tone, to the forthcoming sincerity in the lyrics, I need this level of loving kindness in my life. It's the only thing that would make me believe that the person I'd give my heart to is genuine and truthful. Your song is amazing, shining bright like midday in spring.
Yeaa you just haven't really been looking -.- there has been lots of black women that are leads in rock, metal and many other genres of music... She is dope as hell, but I am not gonna sit here and pretend like she is the first one -.-
@@brrt1683 While I do agree that there have been many in the past, I am just so happy that this band has the platform to spread their message to so many more. Anyway, we really shouldn't have to look so far for this kind of representation. I remember when I found Straight Line Stitch a long time ago, I wondered why there weren't as many in the category in general where Women of Color played such a crucial role in the upbringing of the rock genre.
As a white male emo/pop-punk lover... I’m so fucking proud of these girls! This songs is so good! I’ll be downloading straight away. Makes me excited for rock/pop-punk music again after a long time of not really having much to go off. May of found a new favourite!
Same here. I can take one look and be like, “Oh, cool, diversity!” and then I hear it and realize that it’s something I’d listen to regardless. It even makes me feel a bit guilty for finding it notable that they just happen to be really damn good, but it’s true that we don’t see a lot of black women (or black people or women) in rock. I think with all-female bands, too, they sometimes sound more effeminate by design, such as how Shonen Knife sounds like classic punk and alternative but lighter, cuter, and poppier. (No offense to them; that’s a valid sound.) “Garden” is a pretty sugary song but no more than a lot of pop punk, and the riffs and drum patterns have an ass-kicking metallic quality to them. Thus, it stands out, even though it shouldn’t because women should be able to rock just as hard as men.
Couldn't agree more, hopefully will catch them at Slamdunk. I'm so glad a lot of the shits moved away from race etc. In our loveable punk pop industry in a more progressive way then I've seen in other genres. These folks are ace because their music and vibe but I'm glad there's representation for all the ladies of colour coming up listing to these tunes. Huge Props.
@@meowtherainbowx4163 Like you said, it was by design, so it's relevant to question, who's design? Lots of female artists, even feminine ones, were pressured by their producers to perform hyperfemininity. It's very visible in pop music, but it was also the case in all other music genres. Some have spoken about it and this image was placed on them by poeple who didn't care if it matched their creative vision. I use the past tense because it's starting to change, but it's not like it's over.
sigh why couldn't fueled by ramen sign a band like this when i was in middle/high school 😭😭 this brown girl really could've used it. came across the lead singer's tweet on twitter. so far glad to be here. idc idc i stan this band automatically. wishing y'all continued prosperity. 💜
Im getting the chance to see them for the first time in Chicago in a month! I’m excited. There has never been a better time to be black and alternative. 🤘🏾🤘🏾
I'm totally not crying! I feel so blessed to see this. This is exactly what the me in my earlier years needed growing up, I support this and need more of it! I wa literally wondering the other day about black bands in the alternative scene.
They are everything I wanted to be years ago and everything I still want to be now. I hope y'all know how heartwarming it is to see beautiful poc individuals succeeding as a rock band. Fly high and rock on, Meet Me @ The Altar 💕💕
More please, we need to see much more of them, and for a long time. I just learned about this band this year, and they are excellent! The diversity is just a nice, pleasant extra bonus, love it!
I love these girls! they aren't focused on looking rich or gloating over thrm selfs, they just have fun and I love that! I would love to meet the drummer!
15 year old me needed to see this. This would’ve changed so much of my direction when it comes to self esteem and belonging. Incredible music, incredible band. Thank you ❤️❤️
Saw them on a Fueled By Ramen Facebook ad. I've never been so glad I clicked on a facebook ad in my life. Now I need a thousand more songs from them so I can play them ad nauseum.
You guys will be on bills with DGD and the likes very soon, I’m certain. Extremely nostalgic and just the right sound. The riffage is amazing. The vocal melodies are on point. Everything about it is extremely tight and polished. Do not ever lose this sound, I’ll listen to everything you put out. Great job!
Saw them in AZ for the coheed and the used tour. I too hope nothing but success out of these girls because they completely blew me away! Such great music and energy coming from them. Come back to AZ soon!!
Fr can't stop crying rn out of pure happiness. I discovered MM@TA at the end of last year, I knew they were gonna grow like this. Their music is fucking incredible, and the representation that they're serving is so amazing, I'm just so fucking happy for all the kids who will have them to look up to, and inspire them! Representation matters so damn much, I could not be more grateful for Ada, Edith, and Téa. So many happy tears haha 😂🥺❤
The way I am absolutely sobbing watching this music video... Coming from an LGBTQ+ member, it’s bringing tears to my eyes seeing what y’all are doing. I cannot wait for y’all to become one of the biggest bands in the world.
@@Archangel2025 lmao. OP is not pushing their lifestyle on fuckin anyone. they’re excited to see someone like themself in music. cant you just mind your business and let people be excited?
Reminds me of my teen years with paramore, Green Day, and My chemical Romance! This is pretty amazing feeling so nostalgic rn! ✌🏼🤘🏼👊🏼☺️😊 this Band is so unique loving them so much 😍 loving this everything about them and the lead singer is so pretty 🥰
Honestly I haven’t disliked but this song is mixed horrendously, the strong vocals are buried in the drums and that’s a crying shame. I don’t really care about the bands make-up but this is a strong group and I hope they do well!!
Not just white men, the alt/emo scene is heavily dominated by white teen women lead vocals, and white teen women fans, POC in general and especcialy Women of colour is such a rare sight in this genre, its such a shame.
This is what the genre is about, a bunch of people having fun jamming reguarless of any differences. But damn they have a good sound this is my new jam
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED IN 2020. I REALLY NEEDED THIS. GOD I REALLY. REALLY. REALLY REALLY NEEDED THIS. As a non-white fan of pop punk and alt rock, you folks have no idea how big this is to me.
This song is great. Imagine if this was released in 2000-2005, this would have exploded all over the radio for sure. Unfortunately, pop rock is no longer mainstream, but I can’t wait to hear more music from this group online. This song is officially on repeat for me
We needed some new pop punk bands to fill the void due to COVID and we finally found a good new pop punk band hopefully to have a good legacy forward them.

THIS PART!!
@Saosin Ocean We shall see
Wish it could be true, but such music is not mainstream anymore :(
@@Shroombear42 It still does very well though, and at the end of the day it only takes one band to be ahead of the curve
@@Braddicusfinch i want to believe
As a black girl who loves metal and punk and rock of all forms, it’s liberating to see poc especially black people be in and lead bands

that kind of made me tear up

Anyone who discourages girls like you, especially based on race, can shove it.
Brits it
the little lonely black alt girl i was in the 00s is living rn, she never even dared to hope she might see this 💖💖 i wish this group the most success
This! All of this!!!
They sound incredible.
So happy

More please, we need to see much more of them, and for a long time. I just learned about this band this year, and they are excellent! The diversity is just a nice, pleasant extra bonus, love it!
This song has the little black alternative kid in me crying
Yall really are amazing and deserve to glow up!
This song is so good it literally makes me wanna cry
I would've died to have had this in high school
crying for my teenage self rn
I love these girls! they aren't focused on looking rich or gloating over thrm selfs, they just have fun and I love that! I would love to meet the drummer!
i haven't listened this type of music in FOREVER but this one song has basically reignited my love
Haven't felt this excited for hearing a new band in a while
An all girl alt rock band???? I THINK TF YES
Check out Conquer Divide if you haven't already
I can’t really tell is the guitarist a guy or a girl
@Liam Thurman it’s a girl

Amazing sound. God bless you all.
IVE BEEN WATCHING ADAS DRUM COVERS SINCE LIKE 2016 BC I WAS SUCH A BIG PILOT STANNIE & NOW LOOK AT THEM 🥺🥺🥺
alexander !
This song is everything 😊💕💕
15 year old me needed to see this. This would’ve changed so much of my direction when it comes to self esteem and belonging. Incredible music, incredible band. Thank you ❤️❤️
Saw them on a Fueled By Ramen Facebook ad. I've never been so glad I clicked on a facebook ad in my life. Now I need a thousand more songs from them so I can play them ad nauseum.
Wow. Just wow. This is giving me "screaming punk songs in the shower as a middle schooler" vibes.
My new favorites. 15/10. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDING.
On Radio Disney 😂😭
y’all are incredible and I always enjoy more POC in punk, after all we built this genre! 💖💖
You guys will be on bills with DGD and the likes very soon, I’m certain. Extremely nostalgic and just the right sound. The riffage is amazing. The vocal melodies are on point. Everything about it is extremely tight and polished. Do not ever lose this sound, I’ll listen to everything you put out. Great job!
Saw them in AZ for the coheed and the used tour. I too hope nothing but success out of these girls because they completely blew me away! Such great music and energy coming from them. Come back to AZ soon!!
They can't even hide how happy they are right now. What a triumph. MM@TA is for the culture and the world is gonna see it.
I don’t know why but this made me automatically happy. ❤️
These kids are so dope!! 15 year old me is STANNING
loving the easycore vibes!! Her voice is amazing!
Fr can't stop crying rn out of pure happiness. I discovered MM@TA at the end of last year, I knew they were gonna grow like this. Their music is fucking incredible, and the representation that they're serving is so amazing, I'm just so fucking happy for all the kids who will have them to look up to, and inspire them! Representation matters so damn much, I could not be more grateful for Ada, Edith, and Téa. So many happy tears haha 😂🥺❤
MM@TA is the band I needed when I was in middle school and high school but I’m so glad I have them now 🥺❤️❤️
The way I am absolutely sobbing watching this music video... Coming from an LGBTQ+ member, it’s bringing tears to my eyes seeing what y’all are doing. I cannot wait for y’all to become one of the biggest bands in the world.
LOOOOOL
@@KillerChickn she just had to bring the gay stuff in. Typical. Couldn't be about the music.
@@wdrumz what do you expect? Every chance they get they push their lifestyle on people. It's so annoying.
@@Archangel2025 lmao. OP is not pushing their lifestyle on fuckin anyone. they’re excited to see someone like themself in music. cant you just mind your business and let people be excited?
@@durtis967 silence Snow Flake
Yes this generation needs more bands like this
THE WAY I LOVE THEEEEM🖤 WE LOVE TO SEE IT !!!
LOVE LOVE LOOVEEE THIS OMG!
I love these girls so much!! They’re so deserving and I’m so excited for them
Reminds me of my teen years with paramore, Green Day, and My chemical Romance! This is pretty amazing feeling so nostalgic rn! ✌🏼🤘🏼👊🏼☺️😊 this Band is so unique loving them so much 😍 loving this everything about them and the lead singer is so pretty 🥰
Why the amount of dislikes ? This band is awesome!
i think the number of dislikes has been counteracted now - people are getting hip to em :)
Honestly I haven’t disliked but this song is mixed horrendously, the strong vocals are buried in the drums and that’s a crying shame. I don’t really care about the bands make-up but this is a strong group and I hope they do well!!
@@jericothe1 🙄
jericothe1 you could have kept this comment to yourself.
@@jericothe1 when they get big they’ll get to hire top sound engineers to do better mixing.
I am IN LOVE AND AM SHARING THIS EVERYWHERE
Love seeing black and brown women thriving in a genre dominated by white men.
holy shit do you have to make everything about political like what's your problem I just wanna enjoy a song
@@pqaza_ Why do you read comments if you just wanna enjoy a song ?...
Not just white men, the alt/emo scene is heavily dominated by white teen women lead vocals, and white teen women fans, POC in general and especcialy Women of colour is such a rare sight in this genre, its such a shame.
You love to see it~
We absolutely love to see it ❤ MM@TA are so fucking great I'm so excited to see them grow
Black Rockstars matter 🙏🏽🙏🏽🥳🥳🥳💌💌💯🔥🔥🔥
No way!! i was super into this band a little while ago and now to see they’re signed to fueled by ramen is amazing!
This is what the genre is about, a bunch of people having fun jamming reguarless of any differences. But damn they have a good sound this is my new jam
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED IN 2020. I REALLY NEEDED THIS. GOD I REALLY. REALLY. REALLY
REALLY NEEDED THIS.
As a non-white fan of pop punk and alt rock, you folks have no idea how big this is to me.
I never thought I would see this but I'm living for it!! 😍 They sound amazing and I wish them so much success! 🤟🖤
I just bawled my eyes out, so proud of you guys!!!
This song is great. Imagine if this was released in 2000-2005, this would have exploded all over the radio for sure. Unfortunately, pop rock is no longer mainstream, but I can’t wait to hear more music from this group online. This song is officially on repeat for me
We needed some new pop punk bands to fill the void due to COVID and we finally found a good new pop punk band hopefully to have a good legacy forward them.
I am SO HERE FOR THIS! All of it!!
All the Black Alt Girls are shaking rn!!! This is so amazing!!! #BlackAltGirlsMatter ❤❤😭😭😭
🥰🥰🥰🥰
I just found this song recently but it's already gotten me through a lot. Keep being awesome!
Yo I stumbled upon this on Twitter and as a black boy myself I love Rock music and this is just.. IMPRESSIVE!
Can I have your hair?!? 😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I. Am. Obsessed!
