Normie pls

i mean this track about him wanting to marry a lesbian? its kinda comfy and the melodies are good but im just not feeling their content and mood

>>69888677
It depends on how you approach the album; it's not a successor to The Blue Album. It's far more angsty and serious than its predecessor. I think he wanted to make In Utero

>>69888677
>wanting someone who doesn't want you

Is this a hard theme to empathize with?

You're either not a teenage guy or you're gay

>>69888728
okay i get that in a little more context. im not a big weezer fan so i don't think i was ready for how upbeat they are?? i dont know what other word to use. almost feel like you took Brand New and just brightened it up a bit. rather than existential crisis it's more like heartbroken angst
>>69888735
I guess i get it
>>69888745
I'm 21 now, I definitely would have been all over this when I was a bit younger I think. I don't think I'm gay at this point

Pinkerton was the first emo album

>>69889146
What is Braid?

>>69889146
no way, emo was around for at least 10 years before pinkerton came out

>>69889146
Emo started in the mid 80s

Rivers read a bunch of joe matt comics and stole the idea of being completely open about your life and put it in musical form, i have nostalgia for weezer because i was a kid then.
Rivers can craft a catchy song.
Also i dont think rivers even likes emo music, he is a secret metal head.
Emo music started with faggots like sunny day real estate and american football

what a fucking retard lmao

that's 2nd wave emo, the 1st wave was a branch off of the DC hardcore scene

>>69889265
there are 3 eras of emo

the first one which was just sad hardcore

the americ anfootball-related revivalism

the new twinkly revival revival

>>69889310
I dont know why they just keep reviving the old sound, Emo music is ripe for being a fusion genre since its till kind of new and hasnt been experimented with.

Lets get the 4th wave emo funk era going yall

>>69889310
>>69889389
there are 4 waves of emo
1st wave - emocore
2nd wave - midwest emo
3rd wave - MTVmo
4th wave - revival

>>69889389
internet killed emo.
>dude check my quirky ironic band xD

anyway, the scene peaked with screamo.

>>69889501
5th wave, whatever.

The mtv emo is actually called pop emo.
I was a kid then, it was a weird era actually, Emo was popular but for some reason the mainstream didnt push it like they did with grunge.

>>69889567
>The mtv emo is actually called pop emo.
actually it was emo pop

>>69889545
Internet didnt kill Emo, i was there man, emo was at its peak during the myspace era near the beginning of social media.
Then after emo died somewhere around like 2008, everyone became a hipster .

op here not sure about where emo started or ended but it's an interesting side-discussion.

if i wasn't really into this album, is it worth checking out the blue album to give it more context and revisit? or skip and just move on to something new

>>69889669
a lot of people will tell you that blue's not emo but i consider it kind of emo, like secondary-on-RYM tier emo. regardless you should listen to it.

>>69889822
dubs confirm it. i'll give it a go later
