New generation of pop punk

[Maddey]

New Hot Mully 🥰

I love it but find it a slight bit too much with the guest artist on top of everything else. Anyway the upcoming HM album is gonna save my autumn for sure.
 

Also just recently discovered Arm’s Lenght, which is more on the emo side but they’re really good. Love this song especially:

I don't know many Arm's Length songs but I love Funny Face, Object Permanence, Tough Love and In Loving Memory, they're on my summer playlist. Now I'm adding Aries to it.

i've been listening a lot to this playlist recently, there are some great songs in it

What Are You A Cop, Funny Face, Nobody’s, Anthem, A Part Is Better Than Zero, 777, Stop Talking, Lifers, Where I Lay. 
 

At the end of July I had to proofread pages and pages of documents at work and I kept that playlist in the background. I wasn’t focused on the music, but at least I took a break from listening to Oasis and old music like Sinatra/Dean Martin all the time 😂

I Want To Disappear was definitely one of the better releases in a long time, quickly became one of my favorite pop punk/emo albums and surprised me.  Every song is great, really like how it’s mixed.

I used to not really like the vocals with story so far but they grew on me. One of those bands that just got better over time imo.

Sweet! The band is growing on me very fast. I hope they stick around for a while. The songs Dirge and Formative Age are also very good.

They’re the best. Nice that they’ve grown on you! I’ve been fan for a decade and love everything they’ve released but I still think I Want To Disappear is the best they’ve done. What You Don’t See being close second.

I’ve had about 8 different songs off that album be my favorite at any one time.  Sign of a great album that will stand the test of time.

Okay so I’m obsessed with these guys now. They are so good?? I’ve been listening through all their stuff now and they haven’t got one single song I don’t like. Absolutely love this one:

The new Joyce Manor song is beautiful. It sounds a little bit like The Smiths:

I swear this is a song on Hatful of Hollow.

great song. love the stripped-down style but was a little surprised at how plain it is (chord-wise. not that they're reinventing the wheel, it's just exceptionally ordinary for them). that said, i really do love the acoustic instrumentation and production. according to the credits, they got the big guns working on it (tom lord-alge, ted jensen). a little surprised! wonder if we're on the precipice of a new era for them.

i regret to inform all of you that this slaps. uncanny to hear a great mark hoppus impression coming out of the mouth of a black gen-z teenager at 1:44

It feels like an impression in general to me.  I bet Travis produced it too.  It's good/catchy, but I'm just gonna say it Travis & Feldmann destroyed pop punk by pimping it out/whoring it out like they have.  Now it's just every song the same formula/style/breakdown/bridge/chorus/flanger drum/blowup doll joke/bla bla like holy shit.  Get some fucking creativity you guys might as well be robots (Travis & co.).  At least Feldmann just sticks to that cheesy California surf rock thing.  Travis is just a straight AI machine and I'm 90% sure he uses it at this point to 'write' songs.

It's not inspirational at all.  And no it's not being an old head, Story So Far are still a relatively newer band and they came up with an incredibly creative and unique style and album that is not repetitive or a replicant at all.

Backstreet Boys had more creativity.

No disrespect to this band though, they look like they are just having fun.

“It feels like an impression to me.” I hate to beat a dead horse and we won’t get nasty, but how did you not sense the same thing with MGK???!!!

It is an impression with MGK, I just feel like it was done right/well with Tickets.  He was just coming out of Rap - semi known rapper, Travis hadn't done this 1,000 other times yet.  MGK + his friends I thought did a good job all around to make it feel like a proper homage to pop punk genre he probably grew up with like we did. With how shitty NINE and whatever Green Day was doing it felt like the right time for a proper homage.

Everything after has felt much like the same thing and just impersonating.

Fair enough, lad. Happy Friday!
