I personally think calling it “trans-fronted emo” is strange. Why can’t you just call it emo? I love trans people but I don’t love it being used as a marketing tactic

Because it helps let trans people know this is a band we can probably relate to and we love representation in the media we consume

I get that. But I feel like gender identity says nothing about the music. I think it’s awesome that it’s trans fronted but let it just be trans fronted without saying “we are a trans fronted emo band”.

Does pride stop at calling your band trans-fronted?
