I’ve been a hardcore fan for roughly 2-2 1/2 years now and I’m still a little bit of a rookie so recently I’ve been tapping into the more melodic/emotional side of hardcore after needing to hear more band like Have Heart and Modern Life Is War.

I was on a break at my familys summer camp place and I put my new playlist on shuffle and Green came on. Immediately I was pulled in and then I put their discography on shuffle and its like my brain got rearranged. It’s like they scratched a certain itch I couldn’t.

Fast forward to two days ago I’m at my brother’s house watching their Outbreak Fest 2024 set and I hear Flowers And You for the first time. IM NEARLY IN FUCKING TEARS BRO THIS IS BEAUTIFUL BUT SO SAD.

TA has to be one of my new favorite bands ever. Its just really emotional and I’m a very emotional person so it connects to me in a special way like HH and MLIW

This is why i hate ticketmaster because of these fucking scalpers and bots fuck you livenation Ticketmaster and fuck you to these greedy bottom feeding basement dwelling scalpers

Edit: by some miracle after refreshing enough i managed to get my ticket. Good luck for anyone else

For some reason that atmospheric more doom oriented shit really scratches my brain right with how creative it is

I’m sort of a rookie fan. I know the greats and essentials really. Botch, Danza, Converge, Dillinger, Great Redneck Hope, Destroyer Destroyer, Sawtooth Grin, Tower Of Rome, Oktober Skyline, Ted Williams, and Number 12 Looks Like You. I also know XclocktowerX but I’m not sure if thats a “great” or “essential” if you will. Anybody got some more good stuff like that?

I will sell it for the original price i paid which was about $25 each in total

Roughly two months ago I was have a pretty fucking awful depressive episode and I remember hearing Downward Spiral is pretty cathartic for when you feel that way. So I thought why not. I turn it on, crank it all the way up and holy fuck. It was like healthy cocaine lol. Fast forward to yesterday I just happened to be thinking about NIN again and I was like “man I haven’t listened to them in awhile but I wanna explore” so I was listening to The Fragile before work and I was like “holy shit I need to listen to everything now”. This is officially my shit dude. Trent is a fucking genius and a great lyricist. The pure unfettered chaos yet the sometimes soft and spacey tracks all speak to my very emotional heart and soul. I see why people love this so much. It feels a little funny finding NIN now when my mom picked up TDS in high school too

I have AuDHD (18M) as well as severe anxiety and depression and probably something that has something yet to be diagnosed. I constantly feel like I wasn’t meant to be here with how hyper aware I can be of the world around me yet others even those that are much older than me are obliviously ignorant. I’m also overly emotional. I mean that when I’m angry it’s practically all consuming and it’s so hard to shake it off. When I’m in my depressive episodes it feels like I’m actually in hell. It feels like drowning in a swamp but being alive for a long time. Moreover I’m horribly worried about my future and if I’ll even be a functioning member of society. I feel nothing but horribly miserable lately. I hardly have motivation to do anything in school and my job (fast food) is overly suffocating. I just feel like I’m drowning in a sea of absolute madness and I feel like I may never feel happy in my life. Like I won’t ever be able to function and be a productive member of society. Is any else dealing with this? Am I just spiraling?
