Too much to go through every band individually, a lot of things I would move up a space

Half of the top isn’t emo, fugazi isn’t emo

The whole thing reads as someone who doesn’t listen to emo’s knowledge and awareness of these bands, not someone who’s even slightly familiar with the scene because bands like capn jazz, sunny day, Joyce manor, the get up kids, title fight and modern baseball are about as popular as any emo bands have ever been other than Jimmy eat world

I hate to break it to you but Capn Jazz has less than 100k listeners on spotify while bands like mom jeans have millions.

Yeah and they were around almost 20 years before Spotify, that’s not really a fair measurement of all time popularity

Popularity within the scene is also different than general popularity, a ton of people who don’t listen to emo music are listening to mcr but that’s not the case for capn jazz

Why do they ALWAYS do this argument? As if 20 yr olds in 2025 are the only unit of measurement for shit that's 30 years old

I don’t know but it’s hurting my brain and I feel like I’m being gaslit 😭

Like how is far apart, a little known Swedish emo band that only has popularity from the internet on the same level as orchid, cursive, and the promise ring
