I could also agree with what you're saying, and I want to state that I think genres are mostly society shoehorning things into boxes. > I’d say sadboy is a vibe Yup, exactly. That's what I said about emo in another comment. Emo/sadboy/sadgirl are the same word from different eras. > I’d say I listen to a lot of sadboy rock that is decidedly not emo as it doesn’t share much musically or lyrically with emo / emo-punk. Then you get your sadboy / sadgirl pop / hip hop, etc. too Yup, and in another era, those would have been lumped with emo.
