i find it interesting how quickly we forgot about the political and specifically anti-war the emo movement actually was. 50% of emo bands first albums are explicitly about 9/11. they go on to address military service, ptsd, school shootings...
like it really wasnt so much “im sad bc sad” as “you have soiled our childhoods with violence and we will not allow you to ignore or forget it”
Always Remember
