Thanks! Editing always seems to be a strong point for the channel, and we hope to slowly bring the rest (writing and voice audio) up alongside it as we grow.
as an elder emo, I'd loved to hear more about post 2010 emo culture and its effect on the mainstream than another history lesson that's been told so many times.
Thanks for the feedback! We're working on a video on the scene subculture within the next season or two, so we'll probably throw post-2010s/boom/collapse emo in there as either a segment or footnote since scene had an effect on emo culture's popular image of being Hot Topic kids in neon. This episode's script was written for the first season, meaning not working with more contemporary stuff wasn't a priority in the writing team's situated knowledges; luckily we've gotten a lot better (and are still trying to improve) over the course of a year! If you have any recommendations on where to start (academically or just some musical/fan-based recs), feel free to comment them here or shoot us some links on this channel's socials.
Great video! Thank you for all the effort you put into this. I also really like the mood you set in the video, and how well the background music always matches you talking but never overpowers it
Thanks for the feedback! (a bit of behind the scenes) We usually start with finding audio that fits the context of whatever is being said; it also pays to have a soft-spoken customer service voice mixed with an ear for tone on our editing team :)
15:46 that, my friend, is a sonic masterpiece set to a visual artpiece. Also: Sweet Like Chocolate came out the same year as the Matrix movie. Just let that sink in.
Indeed, each frame should be in a museum. Music videos for eurodance, eurobeat, and everything else alongside those genres are some of the best time capsules for the years around the turn of the millenia - mostly because of their tech limitations *The sink doesn't want to come in, it keeps raving about the y2k bug to some Captain Jack tunes; will try letting it in tomorrow
They indeed aren't, they're a pop and skate punk group (both mingle with emo). We threw it into the pop-punk/corporate emo segment because the audio guy thought the vibes fit; and I don't argue with the guy who makes me sound cool. *Not to mention I like their ska albums
I mean, given this is an obscure* channel, and this video isn't about football casuals (in the context of sheer viewership), it will be! *Unless the all-powerful algorithm decides otherwise a few years later to both our chagrins
Thanks! A few friends of the team and myself were in the same boat - something about emo being that support for angsty (pre-)teens was always the common denominator. Happy to see that there's always still a community around genres the mainstream keeps thinking are dead (including a portion of this here comments section!).
