ive been listening to mcr since i was like 6 and found my brothers three cheers cd, but i only became a fan about 9-10 months ago. since then ive gotten into fob and p!atd and a lil ptv, and all together ive just been tryna find what all i like. but smth that annoys me is the ppl who act like you should know every emo/scene band evr made when you've literally just started. like bro i practically just walked into these fandoms and im already getting 20 questioned. im absolutely a noob to this wrld but im trying </3 sigh sigh.. luckily i havent encountered anybody like that on this site yet :3

Everyone starts somewhere. You don't have to know every emo or scene band to enjoy the music. Half the fun is discovering new artists over time instead of trying to memorize everything at once.
I've never understood the whole "name every band" mindset. Music isn't a competition, and being a fan shouldn't depend on how many obscure bands you know. Just enjoy what you like and keep exploring at your own pace. ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

That's real lmao, I remember when I first got into the emo/scene scene I dedicated so much time to listening to countless bands and albums partially for that reason LMAO.
But one word of advice is just ignore anyone who tries to act better or treat you like less of a fan of these things just because they know more than you! The best parts of this should be how open and welcoming this scene is, especially to newer people to the community!
But some good bands if you like the more "pop-punk" sound where you get catchy choruses would be Armor for Sleep, specifically their album "What To Do When You Are Dead". If you haven't listened to them before Paramore is great! They have a very wide range of sounds so going through their discography is pretty fun. "The Academy Is..." is a great band too. Some other bands are Hawthorne Heights, The Used and Story Of The Year!
If you wanted to try something a tad bit heavier with some more post-hardcore influences similar to some PTV songs you could try bands like A Skylit Drive, For All Those Sleeping, Of Machines and Sleeping with Sirens!
Long story short here is all the bands lol
- Armor For Sleep
- Paramore
- The Academy Is...
- Hawthorne Heights
- The Used
- The Story So Far
(Bands I would consider a bit more on the heavier side to different degrees)
- A Skylit Drive
- For All Those Sleeping
- Of Machines
- Sleeping With Sirens
