There's a one minute video with the joke in the tweet.
Aside from from the obvious shit on whether you should wokescold stand-up comedians (of course you should), it made me think about the weird position straight cis dude gender nonconformity has in today's progressive spaces. Like there are people with trans flags in qrts explaining that a straight guy having his nails painted is a bad sign.
Here in Russia when I was growing up you could get beat up for being a guy with painted nails. One time I almost did.
So Emo boys are cancelled now?
Are Emo boys much of a thing anymore? I remember this stuff being huge in mid aughts. Seems like the last huge music-based youth culture wave before internet fragmented everything.
It’s in a bit of a renaissance but thereve been holdouts the whole time
I think it's morphed into Emo Trap. Doomer lyrics are still in but the aesthetic is a little more gritty now.
Haven't listened to emo trap/rap in a minute. Just gave some a listen and the zoomers have got some real :agony-mescaline: energy now
Being a zoomer is great because you didn't even get to have the false-hope millennials did. I went to high school with an actual nazi at one point, had repeated active shooter drills, and climate catastrophe has been mounting the whole time. But hey! It's not like a plague happened when the oldest zoomers were entering adulthood and our social lives have been irreversibly screwed for forever! Also the internet is destroying our brains just as fast as the microplastics. So the music can get a bit :agony-acid:
Ngl, a lot of it is straight fire.
My Chemical Romance released an album like three weeks ago
Emo dads :kelly:

Happens to every subculture. There are goth grandparents now.
Back in my day we applied the dark eyeliner both ways and had to walk uphill to get to hot topic
