That makes sense.
I just want to throw it all in the bin for reasons not necessarily limited to the way these bands sound. Pretty hard to get a nostalgia kick when you don't want to remember any of it.

Yeah man. It's independent of the artist for me. There's certainly a stylistic overlap that this group have with other, similar groups.
But I don't have a personal relationship with this group like others might, so I can't really comment on that, to be fair.
I think nostalgia will always motivate listeners but also artists. Seems wild now but the music I grew up seeing on TV is now a retro aesthetic appreciated by a younger generation. 90s and early 2000s pastiche is growing in popularity a lot now, in the same way we've seen 60s, 70s and 80s nostalgia.

I realise the above comment was misleading because of what happened with Watkins... not actually what I meant.
I find it hard to generate nostalgia for a time I don't want to remember, essentially. So a lot of my fave childhood bands have been lost through (possibly) no fault of the actual music. Sometimes it can be hard to separate the two (as a lot of isn't my thing now anyway), but it certainly doesn't always benefit from those memories.

Oh I know, I know. I wasn't implying anything by that. Just my own experience.
But like I said, for me it's... some of it is lost to me and some isn't, or maybe it has a different resonance than it did before. A lot of the emo music I would have once listened to has been adapted into other artists, and some of it I still enjoy a lot. I loved and still love Motion City Soundtrack. I dont listen to much Fall Out Boy anymore but I find a lot of their melodic rock in American Football (A group I didn't know of when I was young).

I felt the need to clarify, that's cool.
Adapting historic musical needs / desires to newly discovered artists then? I like that concept. It mostly happens outside of our consciousness (I assume), unless comparisons can be made like in the case you outlined above.
Personally I will probably always need some 'emo' music in my life, but what that actually means from a stylistic perspective has certainly changed quite considerably over time.

It's definitely a fun thing to think about. For example, going back as far as you can to see how music you listened to as a child may have introduced you to particular musical concepts. Probably the earliest music I bought as a child on cassette had verse-chorus structures, harmonies, and general 4/4 rhythm. Kids bop, but you know, it still gave me an early feel for what Western music is. And it grows outward from there.

Liberation Transmission has a killer opener. Everyday Combat would've been one of the best songs on this.
But the rest, while at times catchy enough, doesn't touch this at all. I remember being so disappointed at the time.

"It is factually correct that they were a breifly a big deal "
For about 3 albums and the best part of a decade..yes
"but this band's popularity has really been memoryholed over the past decade,"
Well..yes

Shitty Jared Leto-core written by a literal baby fucker. I don’t think it’s possible to separate art from the artist here without being on a watchlist. No fucking thank you

Yeah it's really difficult to separate this from the singer unfortunately. I love this album and it's really frustrating.

i bought liberation transmission via itunes when it first came out, and so it's been on any apple device i've had since 2006. even though i know i can listen to it w/o contributing money through streams to the band, it is just absolutely ruined for me. i can listen to music from pretty much any problematic artist (helloooo black metal fan) but there are no really words to describe what kind of monster ian is.
