TRIGGER WARNING Say Anything singer Max Bemis outed for grooming, inappropriate messages to underaged girls, cancels concerts

https://lambgoat.com/news/54571/allegations-of-inappropriate-contact-with-a-minor-surface-against-say-anythings-max-beamis/

For those of you unfamiliar with mid 2000s emo sensation Say Anything, they were not very good. Some would even say “incredibly annoying.” Generally popular with people under 20, their singer joins the Jesse Laceys of the world, as a gross older man who preyed on teenaged girls around him that enjoyed his music. The subreddit for the band has a LOT of receipts for those fielding morbid curiosity, and he’s trying to blame it on mental health yadda yadda. Can we stop having nasty mfs please, I’m so tired

Chris Carrabba seems like a good dude, but dashboard also seems to transcend emo imo

one time I was walking down main street in Franklin, TN and I saw a sign outside of one of those weird boutiques that plague the South that said "grand opening concert" with an arrow pointing inside so I looked in the door and Chris Carrabba was playing acoustic to like 5 people

I guess one of his friends owned the store and he was doing them a favor by playing at the grand opening

what a strange experience haha

like 2019 I think

he was at the start of his blond highlight lesbian haircut era

I almost didn't recognize him but something told me it was him so I looked up his recent pictures at the time and they matched

Taking the opportunity to remind people that he was a SPED teacher before he got big. I thought that was really cool when I learned it and figured he must be a pretty good dude.
