Mom Jeans - Emo's Most HATED Loved Band

Overall thoughts on Mom Jeans? Hmu on the twitta @camerahat

[@bgl1335]

Nate The Mate good band that ruined their career

[@MichaelTries]

I like the sister projects more at this point. I really think diving in on just friends would be a good idea. Their two albums are completely different in some ways. The live performance is unreal. Also prince daddy, natural flavor, loudmouth, snooze, grad life, etc. there’s a lot

@@sixheadedboy it's perfectly fine to have a different opinion but when you have a band putting forth music in a no offense manner it's kind of hard to justify such a visceral reaction to them. Like if your saying they are boring and just another emo band that isn't hatred it's indifference. If your saying they are racists then I can see where your coming from. Now comes the question of are they putting forth music in a no offensive manner. Idk I don't give enough of a shit to find out but I enjoy the couple songs I've heard from them.

[@WOLFYbooable]

Several things: - they’ve addressed their early stuff and admitted that yes it was mobo rip off but they don’t try to profit off of it, just trying to learn how to play together, experimenting with writing lyrics. It’s not available for purchase or streaming that benefits them. - i’ve never seen them be anything but super supportive of marginalized groups. There are interviews where they speak about their own privilege and how they use that to promote women/lgbt+/poc in the scene. - the whole bart situation is absolutely fucked I really don’t think that he should have been crucified for acting immaturely as a literal child. The girl who accused him was also exposed for participating in harmful behavior herself recently. I really hope he continues in the music industry because I honestly believe that he is a good person. - This band has my support and they probably always will they mean a lot to me personally, and other people in my life. Every interaction i’ve had with them and their team has been awesome and genuine.

[@nickstone3960]

Preach, especially about the accusations against him. It was all very high school and felt like that individual just had a personal bad experience with him that lead them to take that action.

Trannies are not marginalized. They are the most overrepresented group in America today.

[@marlin2131]

the irony at 6:43 is incredible because that one chord movement makes up more than half of all midwestern-inspired emo music. Basically anything off Sports and most of YGMIA uses the maj9 or maj7 of the IV chord. Most songs from the first American Football album use that. Most songs from DIARY use that chord. Foxing, The World Is a Beautiful Place, Sorority Noise, Marietta, The Hotelier, The Front Bottoms ALL use that chord frequently. If you wanted you could make a compilation of that chord appearing in popular emo songs and it would be several hours long. Its musical characteristics make it fit perfectly with the themes of a lot of emo songs, so much so that it is almost an integral part of emo harmony. It’s so popular that this single chord is increasingly used in surrounding genres like more pop punk style emo, heavier / hardcore stuff like Dogleg etc, and indie rock bands like car seat headrest going for that sound. So to see people attack them “as a musician” for having a common characteristic of the genre is so ridiculous, it’s literally the equivalent of saying “I hate Modern Baseball because all their lyrics are about feelings and relationships and stuff”.

[@TheLolman3433]

same thing could be said with the rhythms too, where it's like they anticipate the end of the first measure and then complement it with syncopation. it would be cool to see a band use more niche chords and extensions in their music, especially acting as counterpoint to a melody

[@twobearshighfiving1631]

Yeah I agree. I can understand the frustration with Puppy Love being pretty much more of the same, but Best Buds has quite a bit of variety between all the songs even if they rely heavily on the same cadd9 to open g chord. Also the bass work on the first album is great at filling out the mix as a trio at the time (see the breakdown on Girl Scout Cookies).

[@marlin2131]

Two Bears High Fiving it’s crazy how bass can be such an adored part of so many other rock genres but given so little praise or attention in a lot of guitar driven emo music. best buds does have some great bass AND drums on nearly every track

[@DavidBankston]

Hey about their old songs: Im pretty sure they've addressed this in the past. They wanted to start writing songs but were bad at it so when they first started writing, they just ripped off MOBO and TFB (Basically took riffs and melodies to write their own lyrics over). It was not supposed to be serious and they definitely didn't think people would listen. When MOBO caught wind of it and weren't happy, MJ took the songs down.

[@albert2524]

if a band wants to profit off the music they make. They'll post it on streaming services and advertise it on their socials. The only way to find these old MJ songs is to search up KZbin and listen to them on an account unrelated to MJ. They don't want to profit off this music anymore. What's kinda wierd is why is the album public in the first place, but at the end of the day, musicians get inspired from the music of others. People develop their sounds differently, whether its building one from scratch, using already existing techniques, or morphing the sound of someone else to their liking.

[@montgomeryband]

That makes sense to me, music inspires music and you have to start somewhere. I'm sure they didn't even really think a lot of people , let alone Modern Baseball, were going to hear that song.

[@shork721]

People try to meme and shout "PLAY JORTS" at shows and Eric usually responds "never gonna happen" they're really trying to bury it

[@atomickilljoy66]

They definitely did the right thing because they don't have any of their old songs on Spotify. If they washed to make money off it, they would (bc my dumbass would listen). + they had to start somewhere. They're not profiting and not claiming originality, I say that's more than most celebrities nowadays would do

[@patrickreeves2421]

Mom jeans helped me through a lot of stuff, and were pretty much the only band I was able to listen to while I was in rehab recovering from addiction, so they'll always have a special place in my heart. And personally I really dig their corny lyrics, like you said it makes them so much more genuine and real. It really bothers me that Bart was kicked out for something he did when he was 15, like c'mon dude we all did crappy stuff when we were young, but nobody deserves to suffer for their whole lives because of it. Sad to see so many people that enjoy watching others suffer, instead of prosper.

[@patrickreeves2421]

Also, such a great video dude. I really enjoy your positive vibes! I still really wish I could sit down with you and just talk about music. No one i know has the same passion for emo music as i do, and its such a bummer.

ngl that first mom jeans album is one of the best and strongest examples of hooky emo music. every song is memorable and catchy like the level of songwriting is beyond most bands from the third wave and is way better than it deserves to be.

Personally i just don't like the vocals but as for the accusation stuff. He was 14/15 i'm sure he's a completely different person now. Everyone does something shitty at the age. The problem with cancel culture is people instantly believe whatever twitter post with 0 evidance. Then they ruin someone career based on something that might not even be true.

I saw Mom Jeans last year in April, and Bart looked broken during the show. I know he really struggles a lot with mental health issues, and it's pretty apparent he uses music to cope. When he was accused of some shitty things he said over a decade ago and he took a step away from Mom Jeans, just after Covid cancelled the Grad Life tour, I really have to feel sorry for him. It seems like he lost so much that meant so much to him at a really bad time. I hope he's doing well.

[@marisaprince6115]

tbfh, what bart was accused of isn't even that bad...y'all act like most teenagers aren't mean...well they are. Teenagers are drama oriented and we all grow out of it and realize how stupid it is and I am fairly certain the people that are super angry at Bart are young adults/teenagers. just my opinion tho

[@johnjohnjohn1647]

Yeah seriously we’ve all made mistakes, crucifying Bart for being what any teenager would’ve been in their teenage years is a bit overkill. Not justifying his actions, but honestly mom jeans has brought so much life to me in my early college years. Hope we can get through this. Much love - John L.

People religiously hated Mom Jeans before the stuff with Bart, they were just looking for an opportunity to drag them down. What I think happened is that Mom Jeans got big right around the same time that other big Emo bands were dying off. Modern Baseball, Jank, Sorority noise, etc. People wrapped their heads around Mom Jeans being the next big thing and when they didn't live up to that ridiculously high expectation their feelings towards them turned to hate.

[@cheddarthecat6752]

the footage at 6:53 is from when they were supposed to play at Java in Boise, ID in September 2018. I was working "security" at that show. I say "security" because really I was just helping out my friend who booked the show and I was helping out at the door and counting heads for the sake of keeping it at capacity. Maybe a few more people than would fit in the building showed up, but before people even got into the lobby of the coffee shop, the building owner showed up and asked the property manager to come and help him shut the show down. The venue had been hosting shows for a few months there and my band had played there twice, but when the owner caught wind of it, he decided to shut the shit down. The promoter did everything he could and even offered the guy money to let them do the show, but the guy turned it all down just because he could. I was trying to help kids get out and the venue manager grabbed me by the shirt and threw me out the front doors despite me telling him I was there working on the show as a staff member. Real douche move. Since Mom Jeans couldn't play the show anymore, in a last ditch effort, they grabbed an acoustic guitar and played three songs in Capitol Park a block away, packed up their shit and left. It really sucks. A lot of people worked super hard to make that show happen at one of Boise's only DIY venue's and some fucker had to ruin it and shut down the venue in the process. I've tried reaching out the Mom Jeans a few different times (pre-COVID-19 of course) to see about booking them at other all ages venues we'd gotten since the last time they showed up but they kinda always didn't seem to want to be bothered with it and would rather skip out on Boise, or just have an off date instead.

as someone from the bay, and has been to one of their shows in recent years i love their older music, and they still make some bangers but their newer albums arent my favorite. i agree with them being a little overhyped, but i think another reason they got that hype is because theyre a "midwest" emo band from califonia. that sparked lots of talk about if its technically midwest emo if not from the midwest. im like in the middle of this video so idk if this point was already made lol. but that being said the energy at their show in their home town Berkley was amazing and one of my favorite concerts ive been to. the band that sam kless has, just friends, often opens for them or other midwest emo shows when they tour in the area and i will say at first i wasnt fond of just friends music but man do they know how to entertain a crowd! ive now seen just friends open 3-4 times and its always such a fun experience as a local

Of course, something can sound uninspired or boring, but for me their music doesn't evoke those emotions at all. The drama stuff is silly imo and I really don't care. I think, they're a really cool band and I enjoy listening to them.

i’m only 19 and believe me i did a lot of stupid, ignorant, and regrettable things when i was 14 and i’ve changed a ton since then. it’s completely unfair to judge someone’s character based on mistakes they made in the distant past

[@arikgeilfuss4438]

You guys hating on Bart are a bunch of nerds, that dudes stage presence was so fun and unreal. Ruined a band man good job fellas

[@meganb.8555]

Damn I’m real out of emo band culture. Are they not making music anymore?

[@mikesuarez5231]

Megan Bournes they are . they’re just taking their time on the new album and i think Eric realeased a new solo song a couple days ago.

[@joblivioniv4438]

And here we are, a year/two later, new album out and they’re even better!!

[@ryan3139]

You should make a video about Worst Party Ever, I love that band

[@NateTheMateForever]

So down

[@FabulousKilljoy]

YES

[@dumpstercub2902]

I love them so much !!! They got me through the first month or so of quarantine

[@nemzjustin]

my favorite band of all time. got me through high school. nothing will change that.

[@nikgulley]

I used to hate them. Then I liked them ironically. Now, after going through a divorce at 23, I love them.

[@pbrgm]

divorced at 25, best thing ive done for me. hope you get your life straight and come out of this better than you were before. cheers. =)

Pedro Lenhagui Bergamaschi I’m going through a self-destructive/hedonist phase. Pretty epic shit bro 😜 thank you man

Keep good man. It must be tough to have to break from someone you expected to spend the rest of your life with especially at such a young age regardless of what caused the break.

[@jery3385]

You guys got married before your late 20's?

[@McSqueezyNB]

I saw them live twice in Richmond, both times me and my friend had just gotten off of school and had to drive two hours out of where we lived to see them in a tiny bar. Both shows were incredible and not to play into the whole "this band saved me" shit, but I don't think I'd have the friends I do now if I hadn't gone and I'm pretty grateful for that.

[@PicasHD]

I dont care for Mom Jeans in the slightest but trying to cancel someone for something minor they did at age 15 is just mega cringe. Cancel culture is just all about attention at this point and just making shit worse

[@tommyroyson5463]

Mom Jeans tend to use the same progression a lot but its also one of the most common progressions in many forms of music. I am a musician in multiple facetes and still love this band

[@whisperr2522]

I love/hate the emo community. They have the balls to gate guard the emo community. We're all broken in some ways and Moms Jean's helped me realize that

[@UAVizUp]

I’m pretty sure they got they’re name from a bobs burgers episode

[@gabesamazingfishingchannel2432]

Mom Jean's is a great band and I love them

[@Dingy_Doodles]

as a Mom Jeans and Modern Baseball fan, I always felt that they were big lovers of MOBO, which gave them a familiar but knew sound, I think that with Jorts they were inspired by MOBO but didn't really know how to throw their sound in more

Fun fact: Eric Butler grew up in Brampton, Ontario - an hour outside Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As someone who is Toronto raised and who sees all my favourite bands (like Mom Jeans) when they come through town, that hypes me up. Great video Nate, I love Mom Jeans. I didn't know about the accusations so I'll look into that and form my own opinions.

hey I'm from brampton and had no idea! I moved away 15 years ago but still!

I believe when it comes to sexual assault, grooming of minors etc should never be accepted back in. However situations like this shouldn’t affect it

I love Mom Jeans! I was actually at the show that you featured at O'malley's in Margate Florida. Super nice guys and I love their music.

I've never gone on Twitter to ruin someone but i will say this: i don't care that it was 10+ years ago, i still don't forgive and forget the people that bullied me. Mom Jeans slaps tho

One of the few Midwest Emo bands I never got into. I listened to a few songs and they didn't hook me in. Looking forward to watching this though and learning a bit about them!

[@countrymatt7722]

Oh fuck, I'm in this video in one of the crowds. That was first time they ever played Jersey back in 2016. Good show!
