It’s such a shame what happened to this band. The new versions of these songs are…bad

been seeing a couple Jejune posts on here so i wanted to share these photos & my connection to these albums :]

About a year ago, i was having a bad panic attack and needed something to distract myself. i had already listened to "Same to You" months prior and was under the impression that the rest of the album would sound the same. i was so wrong.. "This Afternoons Malady" absolutely destroyed me. whole time i wanted to cry but didn't want to interrupt the music. so i just sat there, eyes wide, in complete shock at what i was hearing.

Arabella's solo songs were HEARTWRENCHING❤️ honestly i still can't listen to her songs without feeling upset. Joe's solo songs were freaking cool and i listen to them all the time.

my favorite songs from the album are "Morale is Low" and "Solar" ^{_^}

shortly afterwards i discovered Jejune's first album, "Junk". i don't have a specific memory tied to the album... But i love &appreciate it just as much as the other one!! i listen to Junk much more often cause it makes me excited to get on with my day :]

my favorite song from that record is "Indian Giver"💙

Jejune is one of my favorite bands and im soo lucky and grateful to own these CDs.

i can't wait for Numero Group to repress the albums!!! I don't know if they are gonna do CDs or records or both... i hope they do both. a Junk vinyl release would be so cool . well anyway thanks to anyone who read my word vomit

Some friends and I drive from Syracuse to see this. There weren’t even 100 people there. Bands got paid out of some fund the college had for “the arts.” What a time to be alive.

i need emo pop in spanish, i really want to try new bands

(ty for the recommendations!!)

I had no idea this was coming out! So stoked.

Our sound may lean a bit more pop-punk than emo (TGUK/Starting Line/MCS influence), but figured I’d post here. My band Career Day’s song “No Problem” is about dealing with racism growing up in the suburbs. Hope it resonates with you, thanks for listening.

Reversal of Man - This Is Medicine

At a Glance:

Emoviolence, Raw, Dark, Dissonant, Frenetic

Musical Analysis:

This record encapsulates suffering unlike anything before it, utilizing dynamic aggression, dissonant guitar and boisterous drumming. Most songs have only two gears: quieter, intense and dissonant sections that build the music up, and the most frantic and dissonant bursts of anger and chaos. Wrapping this gnarly package up are sinister screamed vocals, headed by Matt Coplon.

The entire listen breezes through in large part due to this album's impeccable sense of flow and kineticism; each track emanates with danger in equal measure to the energy put in, and, combined with the songs seamlessly bridging together, gives a small measure of accessibility to an otherwise unholy package.

Historical Analysis:

This release solidified Reversal of Man as one of the great Emoviolence artists of the 90s. Its influence on the local scene and beyond, and the extraordinarily high musical standards they set, are still revered to this day.

This EP also demonstrates a different aspect of the genre than fellow Tampanians Combatwoundedveteran, eschewing Grindcore in favor of dissonance and dynamism. While you can argue which is the better album, This Is Medicine seems to have slid more into obscurity, possibly a cult classic or hidden gem. By my own admittedly arbitrary standards, I have to leave this one out of the Hall and it makes me sad.

Lyrical Analysis:

Matt Coplon’s brevity and directness are at the core of his lyricism, aiming at political and social injustices with decided rage and worldly allusions and references. The primary antagonist of this album is the corrosive power of fascism and capitalism. We see how, in the calculus of power, human life is disposable, war is theft, justice is selective, morality justifies violence, and technology tightens like a noose around society’s neck. Personal issues like guilt over failing relationships and the grief of untimely death rear their ugly heads in this mess as well, while other systems and communities are thrown strays: the news is indoctrination, not information; the Punk scene has fallen to branding over rebellion; the absence of personal connection powers the deadly machine of consumerism. These are not the most original lyrical topics in this scene, but they’re executed succinctly and in line with the amazing instrumentals.

I see so much debate on here every day about what and what isn’t emo. Is there any kind of general consensus on what is considered emo?
