First Time Hearing "Until The Day I Die" by Story Of The Year

The accuracy is uncanny. Pinned 💀

[@brandonwythes]

@@HollywoodRobTV yo rob, live reaction vid for "Hoobastank - inside of you" another great emo/rock song 2000's. 2006 i believe

[@ColdWeatherr]

This song birthed so many AMVs lmao

[@RoxxyFly]

@@ColdWeatherr FACTS I wonder if someone made an amv playlist on spotify cause there were SOOOOO many

[@rhetttr0]

Anyone getting into early 2000’s emo needs to be familiar with “Seven Years” by Saosin. It exemplifies the transition from underground to mainstream for the emo scene. They produced it on their guitarists laptop and it totally blew up and got them a major label record deal.

[@RossPullen]

It's incredible to see a Story of the Year fan being created in real time lol. These guys are still going strong, releasing a new album in March, and in my opinion they never fell off it's just the popularity of their genre declined. Anybody reading this, go listen to 'Tear me to Pieces' by SOTY to get a feel for how they sound nowdays.

[@atticusfinch13]

Tear me to pieces might be my favorite soty song! Half time kinda main riff, followed by classic story of the year sped up refrain. Got ADTR vibes from it, while retaining what I've always loved about SOTY.

[@devmanbob68]

New album is fire

[@rogerurbanek1564]

I haven’t listened to Story of the Year since mid 2000’s (Born in 91) and their new song “Tear me to pieces” is straight fire!! Thank you.

Yeah I just now found out about them watching this reaction. I had no idea they even existed but good god. Absolutely underrated.

[@stevenquerns]

Do Coheed and Cambria!!! Might as well start with Welcome Home, but never stop listening to them.

[@weirdjest]

Gotta second Coheed and Cambria. Their albums have encapsulated entire eras of my life. Still going strong. It's tough for me to choose a song tho. (I like too many to have faves.) I think I'd have to go back to In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. It holds so many memories for me and is active / switchy enough that 8m of it won't put someone to sleep. (I just came off Rob's reaction to Pearl Jam - Alive, so that's a concern of mine. Haha No hate, Rob, the honesty is priceless.) Newer, I'd prolly go Domino the Destitute, but again...long. Sry for rambling in your notifications, stranger. o/

[@RockTheCloudfire]

Lovin the series. It’s nice to see someone keeping an open mind when trying new music. This song is one of my favorites.

[@Tyler_A]

This genre is a gateway to metalcore. I started on these type of bands as a teenager, so they're a bit mild to me. I still love them and their new stuff, but they don't scratch the itch that heavier stuff does. Since you like this style so much, I recommend "A Day to Remember" as a good next step into heavier music. Their newest single "Miracle" is a good example of the modernized heavy version of this style. I hope you go further and eventually get to some "Spiritbox". Enjoy the journey!

[@matthewsnow7018]

OOOOOOh. Solid suggestions!

[@Turmoil69420]

It's a pipeline from emo and pop punk to metal core then deathcore and finally emerging as a grindcore butterfly

[@jaredbrown6066]

You may not realize this, but the Page Avenue album this song released on came out 20 years ago

[@MrSherlockDomes]

@@Turmoil69420 man ...i emerged as a sludge metal slug after deathcore haha.

[@dunnock343]

Bruh, Miracle is not a good first suggestion to ADTR. The Downfall of us All, is the way to go. If newer, Resentment, or Mindreader

[@kizznillroy07]

This is the first story of the year reaction I’ve ever seen and I’m glad you enjoyed it so thoroughly. This album doesn’t have a single blemish imo. One of the best albums of the genre.

[@formarosastudio]

Just found this and im dying 😂 this was one of my favorites back in the day. Heres a couple more : Taking Back Sunday - Cute Without the “E” Brand New - Quiet Things

[@adampilkinton1701]

Love the reactions! That middle part where they suddenly speed up is like in a video game when you hit a speed boost... Just lightning in my veins every time. Then they have the audacity to drop it back into half time and keep going. One of my favorite songs from thos era of pop-punk/emo.

[@charliejones1405]

My wife loves this song. She had the lyrics printed on a big poster and framed in our living room.

[@chillbill5773]

I didn't want to like this song, I never liked emo, but you're right, this is a bop.

[@milkycannon444]

Story of the year was a middle school jam

[@yankeedude252]

I'm not generally an emo fan, but a couple post-hardcore bands do it right. Story of the Year and Silverstein go hard.

[@Rayvn7]

It's called "post-hardcore" now. No one likes it. (Similar to how no one likes Justin Bieber.) "Emo" was never a valid term because people kept trying to include legit bands when they said that word.

[@NjMallRat]

You gotta keep these coming Rob!! I'm jamming alongside you brotha 🤙 A lot of Rock/metal bands only had a few songs go big because of the mainstream media. Keep finding these gems dude 👉 So enjoyable to watch. Atreyu: Ex's and Oh's Give it a shot 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡

[@cundionfire]

Kind of but for anyone who was in high school and really listened to punk/emo in the mid 2000s they were huge

[@genuwine21]

Story of the year was one of my favorite bands. They had this, anthem of our dying day, and the theme for WWE star Christian. Unfortunately I think most people didn't follow them after that first album. But the followups were decent. My favorite song is We're not gonna make it" off of their album black swan. It was a more political album but as someone who dates outside my race I thought the song was solid.

[@wholesomecontent]

Anthem of our dying day as such a banger when I was alone driving lol

[@shaqthegr8884]

Sorry but I don't understand the race point in the end, can you explain please

[@genuwine21]

@@shaqthegr8884 the song is about an interracial relationship.

[@Iskall_Loki]

Their new album is fire, actually.

[@DynoMore]

I call it texture. The energy change, the timing changes, the "beat" drop all adds texture to a song. It's also the formula that grabs me. If you like this genre check out Finch - Three Simple Words.

[@insidadream4074]

New to the channel, love this reaction. It’s great to see someone genuinely enjoy this music. Emo gets a bad wrap for the mainstream bands that aren’t truly what the genre represents. There is tons of bands that you would enjoy that aren’t all about cutting your wrists and wearing guyliner lol armor for sleep. The early November. Tigers jaw. Hot mulligan. Something corporate. American football. Any of these bands would be a great reaction

[@rockinmoshin]

100% one of my favorite songs and it'll never not be that way

[@TheChadPad]

Ohio Is For Lovers - Hawthorne Heights, Sugar, We're Goin Down - Fall Out Boy, and Burn This City - Cartel! Oh my Lord, Cartel! One of my favorite bands growing up. If you like this kind of music, you'll love these songs. Cheers man! Enjoy the music

Awesome to see SOTY get some recognition they were my gateway for more technical stuff as a teen. If you dig that clean emo guitar driven build then into the drop screams you should really check out The Kill by Thirty Seconds To Mars

[@dobattlers]

This is one of the most popular songs of this genre, it’s incredibly well known in the scene, pure classic

[@davidstanley9543]

This song came out in 2003. Story of the Year was really big in the rock scene back in the early 2000's. They had their videos played on MTV constantly. They were signed to Madonna's record label Maverick Records. This is definitely their biggest song. They're about to drop a new album next month. You should react to their newer stuff.

[@kernelpickle]

It cracks me up seeing what songs you latch onto and which ones you don’t. SOAD and Pearl Jam are legends while these guys were one hit wonders that were part of an Emo trend back in the 2000’s. If you dig this you need to check out The Used, Finch, and Vendetta Red.

See, I have always loved Story of the Year as a casual listener. Then realizing they're from my home town absolutely blew me away! There's some absolutely insane talent from St.Louis Missouri but no one knows em! Story of the Year is one of the few who broke the mold and it gives me some serious pride for a city that's overlooked so often!

[@xxprettylittlethings]

Seen a few of your other reactions, but I have to say... being someone who grew up with the song... I don't think I've ever been more excited for a video. I haven't gotten to reaction yet because I can't stop laughing at all the wonderful ways this could go down. This shit was like the emo kid mating call back then. I have literal tears. There are certain places and situations where you can just scream at the top of your lungs "UNTIL THE DAY I DAY" and people will immediately respond. I've seen happen.

[@ColdSiris]

Bruh, all about this energy you got. I’ve got a whole list of songs that were foundation to my whole existence. FUSE tv after school with these jams define who I am!!!!! Get it bruh, if you need/want more recommendations I’ve got whole playlists of this same flavor of stuff

Ok, I think I know a rock song you will love. “Cult of Personality” from Living Colour. I grew up on rap and hip hop but Living Colour was the first band that got me into rock music.

[@JBRewind]

Never heard of this one myself. Rock has a lot of sub-genres. This is what would be called Emo Rock. Never got into it when I was younger but I do find I kind of like it now. If I may add to your list, Fat Lip by Sum 41. My favorite rock is Punk.

[@thebunbun_]

Man, this series is cool as hell. It’s good vibes to see folks from different walks appreciating the same stuff. I’m 1000% sure you’d like “What it is to Burn” by Finch, but it’s gotta be the original “demo version.” They got a new singer and recorded it again, but that version is wack. Man, also check out “Street Car” by Funeral For A Friend.

SOTY wouldn't have been a thing without John Feldman. Their first album was polished so much it really was perfect.

One likes emo and shoe tunes, the other hard rock and alternative. Next you have to listen to techno and electronic pop. ❤❤

[@rowaineboyd1536]

A song came out when my youngest became a teen that was perfectly appropriate. I had 5 teens in my house at the time, all with different music tastes, but I claimed it as my anthem with no guilt (one of the only songs by My Chemical Romance that I liked at the time) -- "Teenagers". With the chorus saying 'teenagers scare the living shit outa me', and me being the favorite cabby / guardian, it was spot on! Also, it's great watching when you really get into a song, or when you 'nope the fuck out' of something, thanks man!
