I never liked Sonic Youth but after learning about the things Kim said about Janet Jackson I hate them even more.

I wish I could play piano as good as Amy Lee

The album cover for Spend the Night by The Donnas reminds me of the album cover for No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls by Simple Plan.

As much as I love emo culture and goth culture I want to see more women in both genres, especially all girl bands from both of them.

I miss when Hilary Duff, Kelly Clarkson and Ashlee Simpson were emo. I became a fan of rock music because of them.

Confession: Hello guys, I was the one who submission about some abusive confessions sent over the years. I was mostly angry at all the hate "confessions" 5sos stans sent about an underage Rena. On twitter years ago grown adults would bully her, threaten physical violence against and even tell her to kill herself etc all in the name of "activism". It had gotten so bad she made her layout dark at one point and I was very worried. As a black person, her hair has never bothered me. Most of the people abusing her when white people pretending to act like "allies" towards us and tell us what is and isn't racist. That hairstyle was inspired by industrial/cyber goth culture which was very popular back in the 2000s in goth scene and I bet those horrible people don't even know about because they came from a world of pop music. Also I takes three seconds for them to google industrial goth fashion. I have some white industrial goth friends who wear similar hairstyles and none of them are racist. They're all very kindhearted sweet people with an epic taste in music, fashion and culture. That goth subculture has been popular since the late 90s and 2000s. By the way I've always loved that side of goth culture because industrial/cyber goth fashion looks so beautiful, badass and the music is awesome. I'm glad a couple of people who ran hate blogs about Cherri Bomb/Hey Violet apologized and I forgive them because they sounded very remorseful and sincere. Unfortunately one more person still runs a hate page. I confronted the person, especially about how badly Rena was treated and of course the person who runs that blog is crakkker and of course they placed the blame on an innocent child instead of placing the blame on the adults who bullied and threatened a child's life just so they can look like "political heroes" while they're a bunch of evil mean spirited political villains. I was very mad when they blame her like she was just a kid?? I also told them they sounded like a nazi, told them how performative they and that they're no "activist". Also told them to google industrial/cyber goth fashion, told them they're a pop music stan (although I love pop music but from the 80s and 2000s). Lastly I told them that 5sos sucks. Those 20 something year old white Australian men did absolutely nothing to defend her or her band. I've researched they did far worse things while in their early 20s too and barely was held accountable for it. Like always, males always get a slap on the wrist and are babied while women and young girls, especially in the industry suffer. I hate she had to apologize for having a hairstyle that's very common within the industrial goth world. Even another long time fan who's also black told her that she loved her threads and didn't need to apologize. When Rena said she was getting told to go kill herself it brought tears to my eyes. Imagine wanting to be a "political left wing activist" so bad you end up sounding just as vile, horrible and evil just like the nazis who identify as right wingers? I hope none of those people have kids of their own. Wanting to be appear like a so called "woke activist" give you no excuse to abuse kids, famous or not. Treating kids any kind of way breaks my heart so much, it's just as bad as animal abuse. I guess that's why we barely have child stars nowadays because throughout history, child stars like Shirley Temple and Judy Garland have been abused so kind of way by nasty abusive adults. I really wish Cherri Bomb/Hey Violet never met that garbage boy band because as much as some rock and metal fans can be annoying at times, pop stans can be very very awful people, especially when it comes to boy bands. Just wanted to add that Julia Pierce is now a goth dj. They all moved on from their teen years and other people should move on too. Also I'm very happy that the other hate pages got deleted while two sincerely apologized. Long confession but this is just something I wanted to speak out about. 🖤
Ok, that's everything in the inbox that was sent in over the past year. Feel free to submit more if you want.

My favorite niche of music is 90's gothic doom. I love how bands like The Gathering, Theatre of Tragedy, or The 3rd and the Mortal combined gloomy sounding doom metal riffs with beautiful lead vocals.
I think it's so cool that more recent artists like Chelsea Wolfe and Emma Ruth Rundle have inspired a new wave of bands who mix doom and post-metal with ethereal vocals and haunting atmospheres. Bands like Frayle, Iress, and Shedfromthebody remind me a lot of those 90's gothic acts that I love so much.
Alongside Draconian and Lethian Dreams, it overall just feels like a sort of revival or resurgence of that style of music that I loved so much.

If you like a band that sounds closer to classic, old school rock, check out Liliac.

Hayley Williams and Taylor York from Paramore are dating. I'm so happy for them. They both deserve happiness. Paramore also just released new music. Perfect timing.

The thread on why Ash Costello is problematic made me reconsider how much I value this band whose famous because of the singer’s hairstyles and is kinda egocentric because everything is about red and black ambiance.

I really, really wish i'd been into Now, Now during the Threads release//touring run. I'd have been too young to really enjoy it back then, but I'm such a big fan of this album now and really wish I'd seen its hayday. Saved is really, really good though and I'm still obsessed with Jess's solo work! Threads is the perfect encapsulation of Cacie, Brad and Jess's talents and I wish we'd gotten to see more from them.

I feel like if you saw a photo of Sonic Youth in their heyday but never heard a song by them, but you imagined what their music would sound like before hearing a song by them, then their song "Mote" is what you'd picture they'd sound like before you listened to the rest of their songs.

I wonder if 90's riot grrrl bands were to come out today, people would be saying they're misandrist and they're pushing the feminist agenda, I wonder if people were even saying that about riot grrrl bands in the 1990's?
30393
Some of Jack Off Jill's songs like "My Cat", "Super Sadist" and "Cumdumpster" sound like and remind me of "Goo" era Sonic Youth songs like "Kool Thing", I even wonder if JOJ were influenced by Sonic Youth?

I dont like the new within temptation song don’t pray for me at all. It is mixed so badly. Out of their new songs I only really like the purge.
