Emo Kids - Emo Since 2005 (1985 Parody) OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

We know emo nights are just 80's nights for millennials, so we thought it was time we updated the classic song "1985" as a parody for all the emo kids out there. We think this one will be more fun to play now that we can relate. We hope you enjoy and share!, and let us know if you'd like to hear it at one of our upcoming shows!

watching this at 34 and crying realizing how long 2005 is ago. I'm still living my emo dreams though as I play bass in a grindcore band and do vocals in a death metal band.

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Hell yeah! It was never a phase!

[@FF9F00]

I f-ing love 1985 by BFS and I’m so happy this song hasn’t been forgotten on KZbin. Great parody!

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Thanks so much, we had a lot of fun! If you like it, please share, it really helps!

[@scaaarx]

This randomly popped up in my suggested and I have to say I am not disappointed.

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Hell yeah, great to hear! Please like and share, cuz it really helps!! Where do you like, maybe we can play a show there next year?

[@scaaarx]

I live in Australia so would be a a very long travel time to do shows! But in saying that AUSTRALIA!@@EmoKidsOfficial

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Well, we'vee been asked to come to Brisbane, so maybe!!@@scaaarx

[@splitatom6217]

I don't dress as much emo stuff, but my apartment is almost an emo paradise

Emo is still in there!

[@jvever4904]

Oh this is a fun parody, and a lot of the lyrics are so real... Great stuff!

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Thank you so much! It was really fun to make. Please enjoy, share, and subscribe!

I'm amaze on how good this song is. Nice touch on the costumes too.

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Thanks so much! We worked hard on it :D

[@JD-sn4nf]

OMG I love the MV! I remember those years ago 😢 I’m glad this was filmed at Westminster Mall! The Hot Topic employees there are so friendly and helpful!

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Love it, and you recognized the mall! haha

[@kristenadams7885]

thing is... most of us grew into metalheads...

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Or Dusteppers, but I think the scene is having a major resurgence.

[@cryptic7949]

@@EmoKidsOfficialdup step sounds like it’s made for virgins

[@AzoTheRed]

It was the reverse for me.

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Metalhead to Emo? or EDM to Emo?@@AzoTheRed

[@evanlee93]

I almost immediately did around 2008-09, and i kinda regret not riding out the emo wave a bit longer

[@TomMcMorrow]

As somebody who went from this exact person to looking like J Crew threw up on me at 35, this made me laugh WAY harder than I expected. I gotta say I also did not expect this level of catchy or this high of a production value when I stumbled upon this song. Very well done! Ties in well with Story of the Year's recent single "2005". I find it funny 1985 came out in 2004, 19 years later. 19 years after 2004 is...well it's today!

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

This comment made our day! Glad you liked the song and the video so much. We don't have major marketing money, so shares really help so that more people like you discover it!

[@brotherbear4524]

This is amazing!!!!!! I wish I could send this to all the emo mall rats I use to hang with!!!!

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

DO IIITTTTTT!!!! It really helps if you share!

[@Jay-mt6nu]

if it is not a problem to you guys...can you please post the lyrics here so i can write them down and sing by myself whenever im not on the internet.. Please? ITS A HABIT OF MINE TO WRITE DOWN LYRICS FROM THE SONGS I LOVE

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Kelly still loves the mall, Hot Topic has it all Posters and band shirts, and tiny plaid skirts. She never wanted more, she’s the same at 34. Her taste did not mature, past the Warped Tour. Still wants to be a singer, an emo rockstar Well, she has the hair and a Fender Strat guitar It wasn’t just a phase, in her awkward teen days All her clothes are black, and now emo’s come back! With the Rejects and Mayday She don’t count MGK But My Chem, and Dashboard, TBS and Paramore Between Morbid podcasts She still listens with her cats And she cries to feel alive Cause she’s been emo since 2005 She’s knows all the lyrics, she’ll sing every line “Fat Lip”and ”Taste of Ink”, even “Buried A Lie” Rocks out to Simple Plan, not a big Good Charlotte fan Was always backstage in every tour van To all the fakers, she’ll be askin’ Who’s your favorite singer in Saosin? And what’s Fall Out Boy’s best album? She even made it on their top 8 on Myspace, (Cause in her CD case is) Rejects and Mayday She don’t count MGK But My Chem and Dashboard, TBS and Paramore Between Morbid podcasts She still listens with her cats And she cries to feel alive Cause she’s been emo since 2005 So much has changed while she did not. Like when did Yellowcard become dad rock? And when did Sonny Moore become a DJ? From First To Last to pop. So turn up Rejects and Mayday She don’t count MGK But My Chem and Dashboard, TBS and Paramore Between Morbid podcasts She still listens with her cats And she cries to feel alive Since 2005 With the Rejects and Mayday She don’t count MGK But My Chem and Dashboard, TBS and Paramore Between Morbid podcasts She still listens with her cats And she cries to feel alive Cause she’s been emo since 2005

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Glad you liked it! Please share with your emo friends!

[@troylandzerep8045]

Just realized the bands costume.. is based on different styles of "Emo" in 2005 with a slight twist ImPushing 35 in July 25 and I remember all of it,, 0:48 The MCR Emo "The Goth kind" 1:28 The Pop Punk Skater kind ala New found glory , Fall out boy and Blink emo 1:44 - The dashboard confessional or secondhand serenade emo "Handsome boy acoustic" 2:38 - The classic screamo ala Saosin, Chiodos , The Used emo 2:50- The Panic at the disco/ The Killers... But its missing the guitar swinging Post Nu metal kind ala.. Story of the year..i think I'm putting these neither the The screamo kind or The Pop PUnk skater kind

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Haha, nailed it!

[@sodium_and_scales]

I'm lowkey a little upset about missing the original wave of emo music bc I actually love this genre. Sucks that I was born just late enough to not be able experience it firsthand.

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

It was quite the time, but it is back and lots of good artists to catch up on and new ones coming out! We will have an original project out this year as well!

[@Get.Pwned619]

this vid needs way more attention than this

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

We agree! Please help us by sharing!

[@thewillow3457]

Good charlotte was good till around 4th cd. They turned into a weird christian band. Early GC was good though. They were the reason I became who I am now around 2000

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Yeah, follow up albums are hard especially when you have great breakthroughs.

[@RiggedandReady]

Its anthony green. Of course it is.

[@MA-ir8oc]

Was the bridge section instrumental part based on grand theft autumn?

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Good catch, not necessarily from that song specifically, but the whole song we used different styles from different bands of the era.

[@MA-ir8oc]

@@EmoKidsOfficial I really like that detail and the spin on the song, cause it does really represent the era.

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

@@MA-ir8oc Thanks so much! We worked hard on it.

Back then everyone had flat hair, I remember thinking everyone's hair looked greasy, and heavy. But yes the 2000's are the 80s for GenZ. Just like the 80s and 90s are for Millennials and the 1960s and 1970s are for Generation X and the 1950s are for Baby Boomers.

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Haha, for sure!

[@Maccanarchy]

Given that you used the riff from Grand Theft Autumn, I'm going to assume that there is a correct answer for both "favourite singer of Saosin" and "best Fall Out Boy album"

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Haha, while it is based on the Grand Theft Autumn riff, it is not quite the same, but good ear! The answer to both questions are in the "ear" of the beholder. I know I have my own answers, but they are not that for everyone. What do you think?

[@Maccanarchy]

@@EmoKidsOfficial granted I should have said "inspired by" sorry. Haha mate, I'm not touching either of those questions with a ten foot pole. Far too controversial topics to answer on the internet.

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

@@Maccanarchy come on, take a stand! :D

[@Maccanarchy]

@@EmoKidsOfficial Well considering the years I started listening to both bands, and if I have to give an answer; 1. Saosin singer would be Cove 2. Best Fall Out Boy album would be Take This To Your Grave

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

@@Maccanarchy Love it! Hope the emo police don't come knocking! haha

There are a few of these parodies with this song about 2005 and one followed up in 2015.....very funny to say the least. Very funny to see you guys switch is up for being Emo.

Who's dashboard? Also mgk have awesome music 🎵

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

You must be younger based on this comment! 🤣 Check out Dashboard Confessional. Also, MGK is defiitely coonntroversial. Most elder emos I'd say, think he's a poser.

Is emo the same thing we called goth back in the 90's?

[@EmoKidsOfficial]

Goth and Emo are different but adjacent. Much more poppy and happier sounding rock in emo than in goth.

[@brandonchappell1535]

Nothing wrong with that, get it girl

Yeah baby!!
