I made a starter pack for the modern emo scene so people can find each other on DIYsky.

Let me know if there's anyone I should add!

I still have A LOT to listen to, but these are my favorite emo releases of the year so far.

I’m a simple man: I see a Dalton rec, and I hit play. Bonus points for a Harlan Ellison reference. This rips my face clean off.

Holy shit.

Best screamo vocals I've heard all year, bar none. Master is great, too; the bass sounds amazing. Massachusetts screamo on top yet again.

Two coworkers of mine have been arguing politics for the past two hours, and I'm almost at the point of splattering my brains on the wall if I have to hear another second.

That new Pokémon demo looks really promising. I can't wait for them to drop the actual game after another year or two of development.

If I had a genie, I'd wish for Game Freak to be turned into a living person, and then I'd beat that person to death with hammers.

The worst part is that the songwriting—and what I can hear of the performances—is really solid. There's a good album hidden in here, but you'd need a remaster to uncover it.

Listening to a midwest emo record I found through reels, and it's a premier example of why mixing is so important.

Every song here wants to be dynamic, but it all falls flat. It's the sonic equivalent to a wet paper towel. It sounds as if it were recorded inside a ziploc bag.

NEW OAKWOOD SONG WHAT?!

Very amusing that an emo band dropped the best ambient song of 2025. music.apple.com/us/album/ret...

It was pretty good. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not a fan of CSH. I'm a fan of their two big albums. I wish I saw them back in, like, 2018.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I'm glad I copped a physical of 'Hands in the Air!' while I could. I don't listen to tapes often, but if it's for Told Not to Worry, I'll make an exception.

Dalton @daltdisney.bsky.social · 27d

"I Killed Barbie" is probably the best emo song of the year, but now you can't even listen to it without going out of your way to find live clips or reuploads. The band took it down as a precaution because of this administration's threats against trans people. I hate this fucking country.

Woke up early for work expecting to feel better after this cold's been kicking my ass for days. Still feel terrible. As much as I dislike the idea of having it, I'm gonna have to get a covid test today.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Sarah Morgan deserves her flowers now, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some retrospective appreciation for her work 10 years down the line—probably with some clickbait title along the lines of: 'The Best Bedroom Pop Artist You've Never Heard 🤯'

But seriously, listen to elizabeth whitington.

So many love songs that grapple with long distance fall flat, but this is an all-timer.
