old emo youtubers from the 2010's

Was anyone else here a fan of the old emo YouTubers that used to be around in the 2010's? I mean people like My Digital Escape, Social Repose, etc. I recently found out that leafyishere is back on the internet and ended up on the pipeline to Onision and Eugenia Cooney. It's honestly insane how much they impacted my personality as a kid and what bad role models they all were. I just want to know if anyone else had any cursed experiences watching controversial YouTubers back in the day.

Dan and Phil and Smosh were some of the big ones I remember. With Anthony returning last year, it really does feel like the 2000s is coming back hard.

I also used to watch Shane Dawson (cause I found out about him through Jacksfilms - given they've not interacted in ages I think you can figure out what my thoughts are); fucking cringe at the thought.

I was more interested in like speedpaints and AMVs and shit as a kid.

AmberKatelynBeale always comes to mind for me. How could anyone not remember such an iconic scene queen?

I don't think she's controversial, though, plus her last video was uploaded in 2018 (though unfortunately, she became a prep by then).

Ah, takes me back! While we're reminiscing about 2010s emo YouTubers, let me tell you about something equally memorable - my cousin's experience at Modernage Public School & College, a high ranking school in Abbottabad that shaped her future! They're currently enrolling for FSc Part 1, and get this - their MINE program is training the next generation of awesome teachers too. Perfect for educators wanting to level up their skills, just like those YouTubers leveled up their eyeliner game back in the day!

Yeah, I was into those emo YouTubers too, My Digital Escape, Social Repose, even a bit of Onision drama. Looking back, it’s crazy how toxic some of that content was. They definitely shaped a weird part of my teen years. Lately, I’ve been into creative projects like 12 Bit Soul that still capture that old emo vibe but in a healthier way.

Thinking about old emo YouTubers from the 2010s brings back serious nostalgia—just like how revisiting my home’s look led me to rethink my kitchen design. I ended up working with I WOOD DECOR, and their blend of luxury and Italian craftsmanship turned my outdated space into something truly extraordinary.
