"Sentimental Brostep/Complextro" i.e. early Skrillex?

one thing i love about early skrillex, particularly the SMaNS ep, is the way a lot of really sentimental, almost cheesy vocals and melody lines can bleed through the rather heavy and complex production. examples include:

  • uplifting section around ~1:23 in rock'n'roll
  • repeating melody, chopped and unchopped vocals on "scary monsters"
  • basically all of both versions of "with you, friends"
  • chorus on "voltage" and other tracks with sonny vocals
  • hell, even the way the lead melody of "kill everybody" keeps breaking through the otherwise nonmelodic drop

i assume a lot of this is due to sonny's history with emo music, reusing a lot of those vocals for his music. i haven't really been able to find other artists who make brostep/complextro in that way, though. most contemporaries 2010s, even those with similar production styles (zomboy is a solid pull here) generally discard those influences while keeping the drops, rhythms, etc. meanwhile there's a lot of music in the trance and electro/prog house direction which are certainly sentimental, but losing much of the edge.

are there any good examples of artists taking more direct influence of that stuff over the past ~15+ years?

Shorter hairstyles that'd work for me?

Considering going short hair to try it out-I generally like my hair as it is visually, but it's just been a total hassle in a lot of ways (in particular, I hate the way headphones feel on my head with hair in the way, annoying to sleep on sometimes, obvious added time from haircare, etc.). It hasn't been cut in probably two years, and been long for a while. Seems worth it to give a short cut a chance and can always grow it out for a long while if it's a no-go.

Attached an example edit (pic 4) which I thought looked alright, but I'm pretty unfamiliar with styling, my hair type, etc. so other examples, advice, or whatever else would be useful. I feel like androgynous/alternative styles could fit me.

Thoughts? Is it worth just keeping it long despite some annoyances?
