Today we're diving into a band that's become a staple of the modern emo revival: Mom Jeans.

Formed in California but beloved all over the internet, Mom Jeans. are equal parts nostalgic, self-deprecating, and emotionally honest. Their sound feels like a mixtape of slacker emo, early 2000s pop-punk hooks, and indie rock. Over nearly a decade, they've grown, experimented, and connected deeply with their fans.

In this episode, we're going to walk through their origin story, their biggest records, turning points (both personal and musical), some controversies, and what makes their fan community so special.
