Emo - More Than Just a Phase, Mom | Subculture Shock
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2024
- The emo community, a subculture mired in both highs and lows. From its beginnings as just emotional punk to redefinition in the 1990s and mainstream success in the 2000s, the music and subculture are considered the more heart-on-sleeve wing of the greater punk subculture. Now as to why it took off and why everyone was wearing black fringes listening to My Chemical Romance CDs circa 2008, well you'll just have to find out in this episode of Subculture Shock.
Disclaimer (because one isn't enough): We are not a group of professional researchers, at best we're people interested in the world around them and college students. We encourage all out viewers to use these videos as a stepping-stone to introduce themselves to whatever subculture the video above covers.
Add to this as well that the script writing and recording of this video was from our first season's production run, and you get the more romanticized and gung-ho attitude this channel had for 2023. Why we're putting this up now - well it should've been posted in March of last year, but a lot came up. So at least we have something within season two to compare to the last one.

as an elder emo, I'd loved to hear more about post 2010 emo culture and its effect on the mainstream than another history lesson that's been told so many times.
Thanks for the feedback! We're working on a video on the scene subculture within the next season or two, so we'll probably throw post-2010s/boom/collapse emo in there as either a segment or footnote since scene had an effect on emo culture's popular image of being Hot Topic kids in neon.
This episode's script was written for the first season, meaning not working with more contemporary stuff wasn't a priority in the writing team's situated knowledges; luckily we've gotten a lot better (and are still trying to improve) over the course of a year! If you have any recommendations on where to start (academically or just some musical/fan-based recs), feel free to comment them here or shoot us some links on this channel's socials.
Can someone activate the algorythme boost that our man desserves
Thanks guy from the FIRE video comments, happy to see you're still watching and have worked your magic
i love anything that involves emo. 🖤
For the love of all things beautiful, keep this under the radar.
I mean, given this is an obscure* channel, and this video isn't about football casuals (in the context of sheer viewership), it will be!
*Unless the all-powerful algorithm decides otherwise a few years later to both our chagrins
Great video! Thank you for all the effort you put into this.
I also really like the mood you set in the video, and how well the background music always matches you talking but never overpowers it
Thanks for the feedback! (a bit of behind the scenes) We usually start with finding audio that fits the context of whatever is being said; it also pays to have a soft-spoken customer service voice mixed with an ear for tone on our editing team :)
holy fuck this dude deserves more subs, the video is so well edited and put together🙏
Thanks! Editing always seems to be a strong point for the channel, and we hope to slowly bring the rest (writing and voice audio) up alongside it as we grow.
15:46 that, my friend, is a sonic masterpiece set to a visual artpiece.
Also: Sweet Like Chocolate came out the same year as the Matrix movie. Just let that sink in.
Indeed, each frame should be in a museum.
Music videos for eurodance, eurobeat, and everything else alongside those genres are some of the best time capsules for the years around the turn of the millenia - mostly because of their tech limitations
*The sink doesn't want to come in, it keeps raving about the y2k bug to some Captain Jack tunes; will try letting it in tomorrow
TITLE FIGHT PIC AT 4:05
I liked the emo hairstyle cos it was cheap apparently it cuts itself 😂😂
great video! i was into the emo scene when i was a preteen
Thanks! A few friends of the team and myself were in the same boat - something about emo being that support for angsty (pre-)teens was always the common denominator. Happy to see that there's always still a community around genres the mainstream keeps thinking are dead (including a portion of this here comments section!).
Good video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
