Why People Love Modern Baseball

[@ZackarySmigel]

MoBo is one of my favorite bands of all time. I saw them in concert multiple times, and each experience was truly magical. Since then I've never attended a show where every single person knew every single word of every song. It was unreal. I miss them so much.

[@NeverNormal]

Thanks for watching!

[@Superkirbeh]

Hey I watched your gas station video, good stuff! I love Emo shows so much. I saw The Hotelier a few weeks ago and i feel nostalgic thinking about it

[@yotamlachish5644]

I'm a simple man, i see modern baseball and i immediately click, great video

[@NeverNormal]

Thanks for watching!

[@joeyfoos4788]

Thought you were Jake Ewald for a sec hahahahaahha

[@chrismaghintay]

I always think this!

[@painkillerweather]

proud to say i went to the same hs as the guys from title fight :) i miss modern baseball so bad they were THE high school band ever

[@PopPunkApologist]

Ah, vague-posting on facebook was something I didn’t need you to remind me of lol

[@dawakat08]

It sucks I got into MoBo well after the end of there run, before the pandemic I was telling my helper about emo music which I was really getting into. I put on an emo mix on KZbin and the first song that came up was Fine, Great and I never resonated more to an opening chorus than "I hate worrying about the future 'Cause all my current problems are based around the past". I got so deep into them after that point and they helped me branch out further into the Midwest Scene without really being a midwest band per se (I'm not gatekeeping, they are to me) and once I learned they had been broken up for almost 3 years to that point I was sad and nostalgic for a band I had barely just learned about

[@rdenriquez7911]

You are so lucky. I live in Guatemala, where people don't really like emo music and also I was to young to experience the scene (born in 2006). But I am sure that now that I am a freshman in college, all this songs feel that were wrote for me even do i don't belong in that "Midwest emo culture"

[@NeverNormal]

Everyone belongs to midwest emo! Thanks for watching!

[@Superkirbeh]

I live in California and was into mall emo like MCR and Paramore when i was a kid. Im 30 now and i live for midwest emo. It means the world to me

[@tortaahogada9685]

When you Talked about bands not wanting to talk about social media I remembered the Joyce Manor lyric “I know that it sounds kinda lame when I say it out loud” in friends that we made online

[@NeverNormal]

lol love Joyce Manor, Thanks for watching!

[@VawdaOnline]

Mobo’s music to me is the perfect embodiment of teenage/young adult angst. It’s written in a way where it’s easy to relate and connect to, while also having these weird and funny references that make them who they are. They are by far one of my favorite bands and all their music is top tier emo. ❤

[@NeverNormal]

Thanks for watching!

[@jadqn_]

i’m young, so i was not around for this era of music (i wish i was all my fav bands are from that time), so this video was really insightful on how they came to be. good stuff.

[@NeverNormal]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@anthonyfedelecomedy1490]

Hey Man, I’m really enjoying your content! Keep up the good work👍

[@NeverNormal]

Thanks so much!

[@JonathanKollodziej]

Great video! So, I'm 33 currently and I don't know how I missed MoBo at the time but I'm sad about it. I discovered them just about 5 years ago, so, after their time in the sun

[@NeverNormal]

Hopefully, if they reunite you can see a show. Thanks for watching!

[@noiseisthesound3337]

Enjoyed the video man! Nice work

[@NeverNormal]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rcameron4091]

interesting vid for me . Don't know much about the EMO scene but I'm always open to check out different genres . Their definitely hitting a nerve with fans and that's all that matters . Going to check out some more tracks

[@NeverNormal]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@farizanawar]

Modern Baseball is one of my favorite bands ever, so glad to see you make a video about them!!

[@shakalaka1877]

one of the reasons why i love modern baseball so much is bc theyre from philadelphia just like me :-) such a joy to listen to a song and having a perfect picture in my head of what they’re describing

[@NeverNormal]

100% always felt that way with Alkaline trio, Rise Against, Fall Out Boy, Real Friends etc Thanks for watching!

[@snowman01]

I was so fascinated to hear about hipsters getting into baseball. But it's a band called "Modern Baseball"

[@chrismaghintay]

OMG That Martha vinyl! Please do a video on them. I don't see them brought up nearly enough but maybe it's because I'm from the USA

[@NeverNormal]

haha maybe, it's such an underrated album

[@VIIZZZYY]

hit the nail on the head with the simplicity bit, mfs wanna use words like copacetic at the time and expect everyone to know what that means hahaha (no hate to knuckle puck tho i love that band)

[@NeverNormal]

I felt so old when KP had to phonetically spell out how to say copacetic on Twitter hahah Thanks for watching!

[@jeromeislegend0569]

Thought your talking about the band Sport. 😂

[@ericburke25]

I find it difficult to see why people loop Modern Baseball in with other pop punk and emo bands, it just feels straight up indie. I once called them “williamsburg basement core” lol, I can’t describe them

[@jenniferandxochitl21]

I miss the 2010s emo/pop punk scene. You had to be there to feel the true nostalgia

[@NeverNormal]

Thanks for watching!

[@chrismaghintay]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="540">9:00</a> more like DAWG was the last MoBo ep 😋

[@Cabesandia]

my theory is that it's mobo instead of moba because they're taking the ba part from ball and changing the vowel to prevent people from pronouncing it like "bah." if you think about it the ba in ball sounds more alike to the bo in mobo than to the ba in moba. also mobo is more fun to say.

[@NeverNormal]

never thought about it like that, Thanks for watching!

[@chrismaghintay]

Modern Boseball

[@KevinLuper99]

4 chord simple punk songs aren't bad either though

[@NeverNormal]

100% Thanks for watching!

[@gwendeseminat8r]

I thought you were a member of modern baseball and you just made this video

[@NeverNormal]

Lol thanks for watching

[@user-dl6ll9cn2g]

great video!! brendan goes by bren now and uses they/them pronouns btw :)

[@TheEmoWeatherGuy]

woah where did you see this? as someone that identifies as nonbinary that's so huge to me to see someone who's art I look up to doing the same

[@itmeurdad]

The only thing less appropriate than using incorrect pronouns is correcting a stranger on behalf of another stranger's pronouns.

[@KevinLuper99]

​@itmeurdad nah, it's called being a decent person. No room in the scene for people like you, go back to Morgan Wallen.

[@capybaraville]

isn't bren just a nickname though?

[@kathrynmorris5827]

"promo sm"

[@cashlayton1313]

Mike are you gonna be at the Alkaline Trio show at the Aragon Ballroom on 3/16? If I might see you there I’m gonna say what’s up

[@NeverNormal]

won't make it

[@dirtytoilet]

Saw the thumbnail and thought it was nate the mate ;-; this seems like a great video anyways

[@NeverNormal]

haha Thanks for watching!
