   who's your nomination for absolute worst emo band of the early 2000s? worst as in, you, an emo kid, thought it was freaking terrible and would be embarrassed to listen to.

   my vote is first for good charlotte and second for papa roach, and i should know because i listened to both and was hugely embarrassed about it within months

     @thomcat oh fucking god i forgot about hinder!

     i always thought papa roach was much closer to country but i just looked up the music video for scars (to troll my partner with) and their frontman has billy joel armstrong spiked hair and eyeliner, so i feel like they were trying to catch the emo kid market, you know?

     @thomcat @nasamuffin I'm looking at the list here and I have concerns that some of these are just lumped in for no good reason

     @nasamuffin that’s fair, scars era papa roach could maybe qualify as “pop emo” adjacent
