I've always considered The Weeknd the most consistent modern, popular artist when it comes to albums, consistently dropping 7/10 albums. I'd now argue Joji is a contender because every single project of his is a disappointing 5/10.

The entirety of this new album from The Lampreys is amazing, but I can't stop playing "My Dreams Always Haunt Me" in particular. It's like The Strokes and J Dilla made the best song of all time back in the early 2000s and bottled it up until just now.
My 25 favorite emo projects of 2025. Narrowed this down from ~75 records I thoroughly enjoyed of the few hundred I heard. It's roughly in order from 1-25. I cut a lot of good stuff, and there's plenty I never got around to. Cheers to 2026!
Hello, dead app. My best emo songs of the year playlist will be out by year's end. That is all. Merry Christmas and whatnot.

All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID. I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail
DOGE 'doesn't exist' with eight months left on its charter
U.S. President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has disbanded with eight months left to its mandate.

My favorite song of the year so far. The perfect modern folk song. Excellent songwriting and structure, stellar playing, clever lyrics, and wonderful production courtesy of Philip Weinrobe. I can't stop replaying it.
I still have A LOT to listen to, but these are my favorite emo releases of the year so far.

I’m a simple man: I see a Dalton rec, and I hit play. Bonus points for a Harlan Ellison reference. This rips my face clean off.

Two coworkers of mine have been arguing politics for the past two hours, and I'm almost at the point of splattering my brains on the wall if I have to hear another second.
That new Pokémon demo looks really promising. I can't wait for them to drop the actual game after another year or two of development.
If I had a genie, I'd wish for Game Freak to be turned into a living person, and then I'd beat that person to death with hammers.
Listening to a midwest emo record I found through reels, and it's a premier example of why mixing is so important. Every song here wants to be dynamic, but it all falls flat. It's the sonic equivalent to a wet paper towel. It sounds as if it were recorded inside a ziploc bag.
Very amusing that an emo band dropped the best ambient song of 2025. music.apple.com/us/album/ret...

"I Killed Barbie" is probably the best emo song of the year, but now you can't even listen to it without going out of your way to find live clips or reuploads. The band took it down as a precaution because of this administration's threats against trans people. I hate this fucking country.
Woke up early for work expecting to feel better after this cold's been kicking my ass for days. Still feel terrible. As much as I dislike the idea of having it, I'm gonna have to get a covid test today.
