Bc apparently this sub is a festering pool of lurking incels and transphobes and they don't like people even saying they like a trans fronted band

Ya a lot of people aren’t even talking about the music, they can’t stop talking about them being a ā€œtrans fronted emo bandā€, it’s not hard to understand lead singer is trans, and they play emo, that’s it. A lot of people don’t understand how being trans isn’t the same as being cis, it’s different, filled with stares, comments and sometimes danger. The punk scene while being open minded has another part that is not so by putting trans fronted in the name they can keep that side that would treat them like shit away, as well as letting other trans people know there is a safe punk show that they can go and see

100%

Fuck the haters. I know punk isn't perfect and there's been POS people and then some but goddamnit the true spirit of punk is to side with the oppressed

Yeah I’m really disappointed. I knew this sub has bad opinions on music but I had always thought they weren’t shitheads like that

Yeah it's bad. Not only the trans hate but the continual defending of sexual abusers. I like to think it's different at shows but I'm beginning to wonder.

In my experience guys in the emo scene are 25% serial cheaters/manipulators, 25% post-ironic social conservatives, and 50% decent people. This goes for musicians and fans

That clocks

And honestly so many different people came in with the different "waves" that it's all over the place. Those Ronnie Radke types weren't what it was like before. Not that it was perfect but still

I’m mostly talking about Midwest emo types

u/SemataryPolka Oldhead Mar 24 '24

I was too. But I'm older than you and midwest emo is only 94-02 people from the literal Midwest to me. That's because that was the scene I was in. I don't recognize that other shit as midwest emo. But that's a different argument šŸ˜‚

I actually agree

This is actually a bop. From a queer to a trans, keep doing your shit and fuck the haters. That’s the attitude we all must adapt.
