Temptation to buy a Switch 2 is definitly rising due to the new Fire Emblem but I'm hoping I can hold out for the Switch 2 Oled Ultra Mega II that inevitably comes out in a few years

Oof this is rough, my instinct is always to go and bat for young up-coming bands against these kind of accusations, but if this is just the new front of music marketing everyone's going to have to become a lot more cynical it seems...

It’s hard to keep me down because I have almost unlimited access to every ska song ever made in my pocket.

That Femcels record is hilarious. On a blunt level it's nice to see a group making the aesthetic mirror-image of Incelcore with humor and panache.

Very amusing and obviously intentionally poetic that the last song on their last album is a Metallica cover

I have written everything I ever wanted to write about Vaporwave and essentially said my entire thesis statement. Which gives me a feeling of immense pride and achievement. I'd like to properly give that feeling the respect it deserves and codify it properly.

Mxhdroom @mxhdroom.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

I think I am going to collect all of my Vaporwave writings over the past 10 or so years and publish them into one proper (maybe lightly edited) PDF ebook. Everything from Private Suite, AE2, eclectic essays elsewhere.

🎸 🖤 🤘 New publication just dropped, and this time it's open access! 🎸 🖤 🤘 Williams, J. N., & Sobande, F. (2025). Note to scene: Gender, race and rose-tinted nostalgia in emo. European Journal of Cultural Studies, 0(0). lnkd.in/eMmjq6ue

Image including an abstract for an academic journal article titled 'Note to scene: Gender, race and rose-tinted nostalgia in emo':

Abstract
Twenty years on from its mainstream breakthrough, the popularity of emo music has resurged, offering new opportunities to appraise its cultural legacy. While acknowledging the creative and cathartic qualities of emo as fans, we reflect on how the intersections of race and gender have (not) been thoroughly engaged with in prior research on the genre. We also demonstrate how improvements concerning representation in emo are still constrained, with people of colour (POC) – particularly Black women – carrying heavy self-advocating responsibilities. Through a two-part case study – first, the marketing and booking of When We Were Young festival and second, a reflexive first-person analysis of music journalism surrounding emo’s ‘new wave’ acts – we explore how emo has been (re)branded for old(er) and new(er) generations in the 2020s, how musical belonging and expertise is negotiated within the culture, and how nostalgia narratives can serve to romanticize emo’s exclusionary past at the expense of its more inclusive future.

Keywords:
Black alt, emo, gender, music festivals, music journalism, nostalgia, popular music, punk, race, subculture

and of course now I'm primarily writing about Emo and Pop Punk I'm listening to Vaporwave as an accompaniment to writing. Both are always there.

Mxhdroom @mxhdroom.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Back when I was regularly writing Vaporwave essays I was always naming them after Emo and Pop punk tracks. I named one of my proudest pieces in Private Suite after this MCR B-side

Cancelled or not, I will continue to draw OFMD Ed ✨

Digital illustration of Ed Teach/Blackbeard from Our Flag Means Death. He is in the right hand side of the frame, resting on the ship steering wheel looking out wistfully, his hair pulled behind his head in a bun. The illustration is in a loose, sketchy style and the background is a soft mauve with white doodled stars littering the image.
