Screamo - any gay?

A question inspired by Falling In Reverse touring their debut album’s anniversary, with guests Escape The Fate. We never talk emo/scene/metalcore, so let’s do it now.

Ronnie Radke & Craig Mabbitt seem like on-off lovers to me - like an enemies-to-lovers slowburn. This 2013 vid has flirting..

For ex-cagemeat woman-beating trailer trash who sports hideous ink & tragic hair, Ronnie is still beautiful-looking underneath.

Ronnie’s restraining himself on Twitter even during lockdown, surprisingly. So far year he’s only gone off on Monte the once. Wonder how it feels to be trapped in a modest suburban house with an ex-wrestler girlfriend and her crotchfruit?

It’s actually pretty hard to find out LGB people in the scene, though as with most rock/pop movements most of the artists are flexible. Looking it up online, there are more Ts and NBs in ‘queercore’ outfits than there are lesbians & gays fronting bands. Hmmm. Concerning, if true.

Tyler Carter, frontman of the band Issues, is openly gay and engaged to a male model. He’s the only popular metalcore figure I can find listed as Out gay on the Internet, but there must be others.

Ronnie is always like, “let’s spend our entire video budget on strippers and I won’t look at or grope any of them.” Interesting also how he has set up a home with up a barren female wrestler, presumably so she can raise the oops kid he was saddled with after getting a teen model pregnant (a poor girl he dated/fucked while he was so high he couldn’t remember who or where he was). It’s all so suspect.

And he still looks so feminine pushing forty. I bet he had a very memorable two years in prison back when he was beautiful at 25 years old (he went in Emo and came out loving rap music, says it all...)

Ronnie believes gay people shouldn’t be victims of religious persecution. Good dude👌

Maybe not gay-gay, but certainly I-don’t-remember-anything-from-last-night gay.

I used to work at Epitaph, and also managed Sleeping With Sirens for a bit.

The scene is awful and there's a lot of garbage humans taking advantage. Now that Warped is over, only the strong will survive.

R7 please do tell us more! One can only imagine how bad the exploitation gets. It’s so hard to get any dirt once you stop being a diehard fan who goes on the tours. As a follow-up question; why do you think the scene is particularly fucked-up as compared with the regular metal crowd?

Indeed the demise of Warped is definitely going to starve out the roaches. Wonder how the sound will change, as a result? Hopefully it won’t become a total subsidiary of trap music...

R8 I won't say much, as to not violate any NDAs - I've already identified myself to those in the know.

I can tell you Epitaph is a wonderful place to work, but a few of their legendary artists are complete nightmares to work with.

Also, I didn't experience much underage sexual exploitation. I know Jeffree Starr gave blowjobs to most of the guys in the scene. Some you'd be surprised. He's one of the worst humans I've ever met.

Ryan from Falling In Reverse put an open can of sardines in a hidden place in SWS' tour bus at Warped one year. Cost $10,000 to get the smell out and some of the overhead cabinets had to be replaced. What a tool.

R9 very juicy, thanks for sharing.

Ryan always struck me as a dick, it checks out. And this totally explains why the FIR/SWS beef got as bad and went on as long as it did. I often wondered what was up with that. I can’t even remember how it started.

The Nu-metal and Screamo sound is said to be roaring back as we type. Guess the 15-20 year-cycle of cultural trends is a legit thing.

Hard not to notice that the latest song from Bring Me The Horizon ('Teardrops') has mixing board FX and riffs ripped straight from Linkin Park's HYBRID THEORY and The Used's LIES FOR THE LIARS. .

Ronnie turned 37 years old ten days ago; hard to believe he got that far. Incidentally, it's also been ten years since Ronnie was released from prison.

He's looking good. Apparently he's fasting, because he has to shoot something for film in the next month or so. Guess there'll be new MV content coming soon?

They both look like lesbians.

R15 that counts as gay, I'll take it.

Billy Werner, lead vocalist of of hardcore bands Saetia and Hot Cross, is out as bisexual, dates men publicly, and champions polyamory. Sadly, he supports T too.
