Does BRTD have better than average music taste on Atlas?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

The difference between The Ghost Inside and all those mall metalcore stuff btw is The Ghost Inside actually came from the hardcore scene. They weren't just kids trying to imitate some MySpace-core bands to make it big, as evidenced by that they never had those ridiculous haircuts or wore makeup. They were legit and it shows in their sound, it's actually quite different from Attack Attack or whoever.

How do you feel about the band Terror

Actually never listened to them. I just know that they're on Bridge 9.

Frankly I think the reason I've never bothered listening to them is the super-generic name. It sounds odd but band names that grab your attention are more likely to make you interested in checking out.

BRTD, what are your favorite bands with female vocalists?

What is the appeal to emo music in the first place? I've listened to a lot of bands and genres that are "emo adjacent" and were popular in the same time period, but I never personally saw the appeal to that stuff. Can someone who enjoys it tell me what they like about it?

What are some examples of what you listened to? Stuff like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, et al doesn't count.

I listened to the songs you put in this thread. I've also got friends who love stuff like Rites of Spring, Soulside and Rain so I've heard a lot of their stuff as well.

If he likes King Gizzard or is even aware of who they are, I say Yes.

Outside of ultra-mainstream acts like Taylor Swift & Beyonce, I get the sense this forum skews heavily towards 60s/70s classic rock with a smattering of 2000s alt-rock.

It pained me to see a Dead Kennedys thread on this forum and most posters posting were unaware of who they even were. I mean, come on. One of their biggest tracks is about Gov. Jerry Brown!

Only if having bad taste is better than having no taste.
