rawring 20s

You may discover these artists listed in movements ranging anywhere from trap and emo rap to hyperpop, hexD/surge and glitchcore. But we recognize a scene kid when we see one. Check out these artists who are changing the game in SoundCloud’s trap/emo-rap underground by throwing it back to the 2000s Myspace era in unique and […]

Because we’ve all been social distancing and spending a lot of time at home these past few weeks, we’ve wasted an embarrassing amount of time on TikTok. The app is a godsend in these times and never fails to make us laugh. There are tons of trends on TikTok, such as the ever-popular dance routines, […]

The year is 2007. Cobra Starship’s “The City Is At War” plays from your Myspace page as you organize your Top 8. Your profile picture? A high-angle selfie that captures your teased Voodoo Blue hair. “I’m scene, not emo,” you insist. The Rawring ’20s are upon us, and while we doubt Myspace will make a […]

Now that 20ninescene has passed and the Rawring ’20s are here, it’s time to look back at the old YouTube tutorials that showed many of us how to “be scene.” You remember those videos, right? They always had metal and punk music in the background with free text transitions and hilariously low video quality. Those […]

Coronavirus or not, the British heavy music scene is thriving in 2020. Although bands are being forced to cancel tours as fans stay at home, more and more of us are streaming the music we love and discovering new acts while working remotely. With a promising year ahead on both sides of the pond despite […]

Logan Paul has officially capitalized on the rampant 2019 meme of his emo doppelgänger. The YouTuber committed to a full makeover to match the person in the meme and some people aren’t happy. The makeover occurs in his newest video and Paul proceeds to do a bunch of stereotypically “emo” things such as lip-syncing My […]

While you’ve moved on to lip-syncing on TikTok, it’s hard to forget our side-swept, glitter GIF-covered roots circa mid-2000s Myspace. With the Rawring ’20s in full effect, revisit the nostalgic (and sometimes embarrassing) things we did on the platform. Build your Myspace page and we’ll give you the scene name you probably had above your […]

The internet in the 2000s was a strange place. We were low-key coders thanks to Myspace and thought we looked like models in our poorly edited selfies that we’d share to our profiles. One of the cringiest elements of the internet back in the day was the lingo we used. There were no rules when […]

Post-hardcore broke out as a movement in a huge way during the first decade of the 2000s while shaping how people view the genre today. Countless others had pioneered the genre throughout the ’80s and ’90s, but bands such as Glassjaw, At The Drive-In and Boysetsfire helped push it to new heights. Take a look […]

It’s finally 2020, a new decade that many former Myspace users are dubbing the “Rawring ’20s.”  Needless to say, we’re in full support of making the scene the focal point of the next decade. We miss the overly edited flash photos taken at unflattering angles, spending hours customizing our profile and mentally sorting our Top […]

We’ve officially entered a new decade and Panic! At The Disco already gave us the perfect soundtrack. Released with their sixth studio album Pray For The Wicked in 2018, “Roaring 20s” was one of many perfect songs to help you ring in 2020 last night. Prove you’re down with the Rawring ’20s by testing your […]

In another AP first, we’re pointing our telescope toward the East to explore the universe of K-pop sensations DAY6. There are plenty of elements to what these five young men have accomplished, and they’re very similar to the steadfast DIY mindset prevalent in AP’s community.  The quintet have been creating their own way around the […]

2020 is rapidly approaching, which means this decade is coming to a close. Because we are coming closer to our generation’s roaring (or RAWRing) ’20s, let’s not get sad and instead take a look at some essential punk bands to watch in 2020.  Maybe punk isn’t exactly what Jay Gatsby was listening to, but we […]

A lot has happened in 2019. From having nostalgia thrown at us left and right with the rise of Disney + to artists such as Bring Me The Horizon and Palaye Royale shifting into their respective new eras, it’s been a wild ride. Before moving forward, sometimes we have to look back on all the […]
