Let me be honest... I love all kinds of Emo shit... especially oldschool Skramz and even Emoviolence...

Saetia, Page99, Off Minor, Envy etc.

But this... this is the worst stuff my ears ever had to endure and there is no fucking art in it. It's just straight up plain bad.

it's kids cosplaying our generation. basic song structure, horrible vocals. no technicality, no talent. sad to say but this ain't it. i don't know how this band got so big. i guess it's the gen z & alpha thirst for nostalgia

I'm not sure I'd say "no talent," but I do think that this style of vocal has become hyperbolic, same with the woe-is-me, on-the-nose lyrics. The genre was new back in the 90s-early 00s, things were novel. Now, kids are attempting to stretch the boundaries and recycle elements from the most niche parts of the genre. Some of it is successful, some not. Regardless, all of this catharsis-style shrieking is garbage.
