alex !! 💫🦈's Blurbs
About me:
hi there !! i'm alex, a 15 years old emo/metalhead from galicia, spain.
i'm non binary so i use they/them (él en español) pronouns, but i don't mind getting called he if someone can't/doesn't want to use they (dyslexia, non native speaker, etc). i don't like labeling my sexuality.
by the way, my birthday's on january 3rd.
personality wise, the mbti thing says i'm an intp lol. i have trouble managing my anger and communicating with others, so i apologize in advance lmao. i try to be respectful to everyone unless i think that u don't deserve it. so yea, an eye 4 an eye, and i think that violence CAN be necessary sometimes. also, i think that everyone has their own personal rights and freedom, it's none of my business what some random person chooses to wear or does with their body or whatever. and i wish that everyone understood that. so yeah my philosophy of life is just live and let live.
music is my everything, i've been playing the drums since 2019 and i'm currently playing in a pop punk band called barullo.
i also really like sharks, cats, bats, crows and platypuses !!
if you couldn't tell i love learning about other languages and cultures. i'm a native speaker of spanish and galician, and I have a B2 degree in english. i'm learning italian, german and norwegian on duolingo, but out of those i can only really speak italian lmao. i can also understand some french and portuguese although i don't speak them. and id LOVE to learn basque, maybe russian, japanese, greek or swedish as well. outside of spain i've only been to portugal and france, but i'd love to visit italy, canada, japan, the uk, germany, norway, mexico, sweden, argentina, the usa and finland.
i love history and art stuff !! especially medieval history, ancient civilizations (mainly ancient greece), gothic architecture, pirates, the french revolution, social class war and renaissance/baroque art.
i watch a lot of youtube too, my fav creator is crustbag but i really like drama kween, the punk rock mba, miguel de lys, kurzgesagt, ricardo alcaraz, jammidodger, coolea, jordi wild and samantha lux. i love early to mid 2010s youtube, i've been watching a lot of old videos from yosoygerman, auronplay and missasinfonia lately.
since ik i won't make a living out of music, when i'm older i want to study medicine to become a mortician. in general i want to work in the medical/mortuary science field, but being a history teacher would be cool too.
some of my other hobbies are drawing, making kandi (since 2021) and social media.
i also think that the village i live in is beautiful (galicia in general is one of the most beautiful places in the word idc) so i love going to the forest and taking pictures of nature, especially while listening to system of a down or screamo. tbh listening to them in the forest cant be compared to anything else, it just feels different.
btw feed this shit
Who I'd like to meet:
other alternative people, i love all my alt siblings but the subcultures/styles that i like the most (apart from emo+metal) are scene, deathrock, cybergoth, punk, romantic goth, mall goth and trad goth
other musicians, mainly drummers
ppl who like languages/history
ppl with similar music taste
tamén molaria coñecer a outra xente de galicia :D necesitamos máis emos aquí !!
literally anyone as long as ur cool lol
oh and before u send me a friend request just a warning that i yap way too much on my bulletins lmfao
"Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE
The truth about "emo" is that most of what is accepted here isnt really emo, it's some form of indie rock. People here point back to Cap'n Jazz and Sunny Day Real Estate as the progenitors of everything they listen to today, which is true, but they are not progenitors of emo. They are pioneers in college indie rock (and in SDRE's case, mainstream indie rock [yeah, they were on MTV in 96 and half the members went to Foo Fighters, look it up]) incorporating influence from post-hardcore and emo.
There's a reason this stuff is called "post-emo indie rock," or as it has been branded thanks to a handful of early 90s bands no one remembers any more who were from the actual midwestern United States and actually played emo (including Gauge, Current, Ordination of Aaron, Endpoint, Split Lip, Friction, and Chino Horde), "Midwest emo." The reason is because it isn't really emo and needs to be distinguished, kind of how 'metalcore' came about when that scene stopped being primarily hardcore and moved to metal/alternative.
In a similar sense, the post-emo/midwest/indiecore scene moved away from hardcore in the mid 90s, and was seen as a new, post-emo movement, hence the name and ridicule from hardcore bands. Meanwhile, I doubt anyone who lists Mineral or American Football as their favorite 90s "emo" bands could name any actual mid/late 90s emo. Sucks cause there's so much good shit: Traluma, Chocolate Kiss, Stratego, Edaline, Twelve Hour Turn, Unionsuit, Blue Water Boy, Still Life, Thumbnail, Four Hundred Years, Assfactor 4, Sleepytime Trio, Amber Inn, The Deadwood Divine, Bread and Circuits, The Red Scare, Metroschifter, Radio Flyer, The Hal Al-Shedad...I could go on.
You see, the fake/real emo dichotomy is nowhere near nuanced enough to capture the layers of relation to emo that all the music referred to as "emo" has. That's a pretty annoyingly confusing sentence so lemme break it down - there are four types of emo:
• REAL REAL EMO (emotive hardcore. Usually melodic hardcore punk with minor influences from post punk and what would become, with emocore's help, post-hardcore indie rock; from Rites of Spring and Moss Icon to Walleye and Falling Forward to The Shivering and End on End to Slow Code and GIVE. Emotional hardcore punk rock music)
• FAKE REAL EMO (non-hardcore music that gets considered "real emo" by pretentious middle class dorks who have no clue. Usually indie rock, math rock, or post rock that is influenced by the instrumentation, composition, and/or dynamics of emo; from The Van Pelt and Boys Life to Penfold and Boilermaker to Mock Orange and No Knife to empire! empire! and My Heart to Joy to Hightide Hotel and Oso Oso. Post-emotional hardcore punk rock music)
• REAL FAKE EMO (non-hardcore music that has just as much influence from emo as FAKE REAL emo, but because it's not sad, mellow, and somber [cough or not rock music] is refuted as "emo" by most twinkle dorks. Usually post-hardcore, alternative rock, or melodic hardcore/pop punk that takes from all the same places as indiemo; from Samiam and Trusty to Sense Field and Grade to Seaweed and Kill Holiday to The Movielife and Boys Night Out to Title Fight and Polar Bear Club to Self Defense Family and Narrow Head. Post-emotional hardcore punk rock and "emo-adjacent" [meaning, diy bands who played shows with emo bands in the underground] music)
• FAKE FAKE EMO (non-hardcore, non-emo related music that still gets referred to as such by the mainstream/anyone who thinks emo is synonymous with "sad." Can be anything but most commonly indie rock, because people don't understand the difference between releasing a chart-topping record that influences the whole landscape of music, including the underground and therefore emo; and actually being related to the underground DIY hardcore punk movement known as emo. Take your pick; Weezer, Boys Like Girls, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Modest Mouse, Julien Baker, Pinegrove, Linkin Park, The Cure, Morrissey/Smiths, blink-182, Atreyu, Simple Plan, AFI, My Chemical Romance after their first album (especially Black Parade, a pop rock album), The Front Bottoms)
If you ask me, artists like lil peep, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, nothing,nowhere, shinigami, and LiL Lotus all fit perfectly into category three, REAL FAKE EMO. These are all DIY artists who are inspired by the same "emo" bands as every revival/sparklepunk/sadwank indie band that gets jerked to death here, but because it only comes through in aesthetic and lyricism as opposed to...oh wait, no, thats exactly the same as pretty much all modern emo -- it is only related to Real Emo (aka REAL REAL EMO) via aesthetic and lyrics - if it's actually related to any degree. The sound is not even kind of close and isn't rooted in hardcore at all. Every twinkle-centric band you love is rooted in indie rock because twinkles dont come from hardcore; every band with a sing along chorus is a pop band. How are you gonna tell me that indie pop artists with sad yelling are emo, but indie trap artists with sad yelling aren't?
TL;DR - here's your ultimatum, indie dorks: either both American Football and Lil Peep are emo, or neither of them are. Your sad indie rock is not emo either
