If u ever wrote off my predictions of a neon/scene/myspace revival as a joke or wishful thinking, you might want to start reconsidering that. Check out this list of the popular stories on altpress.com as of October 9, 2014 for yet another proof point that The Neon Years are primed to return:
- 15 best screamers in modern metalcore: BMTH, OM&M, ATTACK ATTACK, WOE IS ME and other scene fixtures are taken seriously as musicians in 2014. 5 years ago, i told everybody this was going to happen and they laughed at me. but who’s laughing now???! they called Galileo a fool you know!!!
- Tim Lambesis interview: hello, 2007 called and it wants its headlines back
- 10 bands who will influence the pop-screamo revival of 2017: need i say more? technically more of a mid-00s, pre-neon revival, but close enough. i personally draw a line between the “bootcut girl jeans, white belt, YL underoath shirt, atticus messenger bag and draven shoes” era and “scene”-proper, but admittedly i am splitting hairs here.
- Ronnie Radke vs Escape The Fate feud: can’t wait to hear what Hannah Beth and Audrey Kitching have to say about Buzznet’s favorite bad boy!! perfect article to read on your sidekick while you warm up your flatiron.
- 16 scene fads we regret partaking in: this is the real clincher. now that everybody scene phase is 5-8 years in the rearview mirror, they are ready to look back on it with nostalgic/ironic detachment– the first prerequisite for any revival.
