Hello friends! Look, do you really care about what my top 10 newer tracks are right now? I have no idea. But i’m sharing it with you anyway. As resident swemo in this NAPNET organization, I present to you, a collection of newer songs for folks who love putting the pop in their pop-punk but also still want sweaty basement punk vibes. lOOK YOU NEED TO STOP LISTENING TO THE SAME SONGS FROM 20 YEARS AGO, MAYBE THIS WILL HELP.

Alright alright alright, we’re back agaaaaain (Soulja boy voice) with another round of Robb’s Recs! This is a safe space for my chopped and washed older emo pals to learn some newer bands they may not know.

Halloween is basically the Emo kid Super Bowl. It’s the one time of year when the rest of the world catches up to our normal aesthetic: black eyeliner, tragic love stories, songs about death, and maybe some light grave-digging. So if it really was never a phase, here are ten movies that hit the perfect mix of spooky, sad, stylish, and scene.

HIGHLIGHTS

Panic! At The Disco was stellar! Brendon’s vocals were spectacular, and his joy and gratitude for being back to headline were palpable. The pure nostalgia of hearing A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out played live — and the entire crowd dancing and singing the whole thing at the top of their lungs — is something I’ll never forget. And to finally answer all our speculation, they brought out the original drummer for the first time in 12 years to close out the set!

LOWLIGHTS

VIP was far more crowded than last year. It wasn’t really worth switching areas much throughout the day unless you had a break between back-to-back sets. The lines in and out of the VIP areas were quite the bottleneck.

So last week, Rolling Stone released their list of their top 250 songs of the 21st century, and while the list was offensive and atrocious, it did get me thinking… What ARE the greatest songs? So, I made a list. I even checked it twice like the big guy upstairs taught me!

Hi guys. I’m Robb, and I am one of you and I’m here to help. Look, I’m 36 and I have two kids and a general lack of excitement for anything the way I used to. I know most of us have had trouble latching on to new bands this side of the Obama administration, so I’m gonna do the best I can to suggest some bands that I think you will love. Partly to keep the scene alive, partly to stop gen z from clowning on us because I don’t like it!

In the spirit of the days of youth groups gone by, I present to you now, my Top 10 youth group bangers to listen to today when you (and everybody else) are Left Behind!
