Mine was Demolition Lovers by MCR, I researched it for my college course and got hooked almost immediately

Honest to god, it was a song in a creepypasta slideshow. "Don't You dare forget the sun" by Get scared XD. I started liking creepypasta in the early 2010s in like 3rd grade. It introduced me to a whole new type of music I had never heard before. Music that was really popular in the fandom at the time was stuff like Get Scared and Set It Off, which led to me getting into bands like My Chemical Romance, Falling In Reverse, Pierce The Veil, Fly Leaf, Meg, and Dia... and other popular pop-punk emo-esc bands, which then led to me getting into og emo bands from the '90s. I think at the time, emo and emo aesthetics were extremely popular and influential on the internet, especially in niche spaces and fandoms like Creepypasta, the amount of videos you can find on youtube of just pictures of Ticci Toby being played to Get Scared is insane.

"Note to Self" by From First To Last, that little 16 year old skrillex caused and solved so many problems for me heading into my teenage years

eu sei que My Chemical Romance não é exatamente uma banda emo, mas a primeira música que ouvi antes de me tornar definitivamente emo e começar a me aprofundar no sub foi Teens
