as someone who grew up as a scemo, i find i don't care for most "scenecore" music. it all feels. idk. trying too hard? it doesn't help that a lot of them (eg 6arelyhuman) are obviously trying to emulate BOTDF when, in my opinion, BOTDF was one of the worst (sorry to anyone to who liked BOTDF; even at their peak, i could never get into them). like where's the dot dot curve and ISMFOF copycats???
IDK. i still like that Sound of music, and i still listen to the old bands, so if you have any scenecore recommendations that isn't clearly taking core inspiration from BOTDF, feel free to share.
