why does this album / midwest emo in general make me feel so nostalgic for walking home alone through the suburbs after a day of hanging out with friends as the setting sun casts an orange glow across the sky, while you think wistfully about the fact that when the summer comes to a close you'll go your separate ways for college, and those days of chilling with friends, self discovery, and high school romance will be gone.
i'm not even american.

because thats the exact feel its meant to invoke, probably because those musicians experienced things like that and wanted to capture it in their music.
>>69851536
Honestly, the reason it's nostalgic to me is because it sounds like a more musically mature and refined Analphabetapolothology. Just my opinion.
Tbh you hit the nail on the head anon.
>Senior year of high school just finished
>Sitting around a bonfire with all my friends in the warm summer nights
>We're all bullshitting and reveling in the memories we shared
>All the good times
>All the bad
>Where we're all gonna go for college or what we're gonna do with our lives
>Getting drunk on cheap beer
>Walk home alone, decline a ride
>It's slightly chilly but otherwise the temperature is just perfect as you trundle through the suburbs, past familiar monuments that have stood since before your older brother went to your high school
>Instead of going home you go to the local park where you used to play soccer and football with your friends
>You sit on the swings, awash in the pale light of the moon
>You kick a little bit but you don't really have any desire to go up
>You go and lay down in the dewey, cold grass, feeling the soft kiss of moisture against the back of your neck, smelling the earthy tones of a field freshly cut
>You stare up at the moon and think of all the friends you'll never see again
>All those nights spent playing vidya games and those quiet moments in your sleeping bags when you talked about the future, and slowly you come to the realization that you're living the moments you spoke so softly about
>This is it
>You're growing up
>And all you have to describe it in perfect pitch and tone, better than you could in words, is a 1990's emo album written by American Football
>And you start to cry about all of this, soft, dopey tears
>It's midnight now, and you're alone at the park you passed so much time in, crying your eyes out about how you grew up, and what seemed like reality then is just fading memory now
That's what that album feels like to me, OP.

Anyone know where I can get rid of my collection as a whole? About 500 records valued at roughly $12,000. Obviously I won't be getting that much for them but they've gotta go.
>>69850597
Ill take them from you for 1000
Their best album
Original pressing btw
The music is impeccable. The lyrics perfectly communicate the oppression that African womyn face in the Western World. When she talked about evil wh*ites touching our hair, I was like, "You go girl. YAAAASS QUEEN!" Solange is the best composer and lyricist of all time, followed by Benyonce.

WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT ME
Hey this is actually pretty good, not cringe at all. Some parts are so dreamy. Also, I don't find the lyrics stupid and I don't it lowered my IQ of 136.

If you're so smart, why can't you write a sentence without error?
>>69848988
saw KKB at a fest and it was actually pretty great. It was raining and pretty gloomy but the set really brought the mood right back up. not the biggest fan, but i can totally appreciate it for what it is.
Listened this out loud at work and some guy came up to me and told me to shut that gay music up....he then proceeded to mock me saying his 12 year old daughter would probably listen to that shit.
