'Obviously, there’s a lot of emo around.' 🖤
Bakersfield is also indirectly responsible for giving us one of the more memorable emo scenes of the year. With an 86% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the brooding teen murder mystery “Wednesday” from the"Addams Family" universe dropped Nov. 23 on Netflix., scored series lead Jenna Ortega’s slightly unhinged solo romp on the school dance floor and brought back to life a song that was written and recorded by a Bakersfield original.
Through a series of unlikely events, Jim Shaw — former keyboardist for Buck Owens’ Buckaroos and custodian of Owens’ song catalog — was given the rights to conservatorship of the song’s royalties to settle a debt.he hadn't heard much about the song until last year."I got approached by Netflix on a licensing deal,” he explained. “They wanted to use the song in one of their series. I didn’t know anything about ‘Wednesday.’ It was a brand new deal.
The Netflix show was a hit, and the “Goo Goo Muck” scene blew minds; the song started to trend on TikTok. As royalty checks make their way to his mailbox, Shaw said he’s still trying to reach out to the next of kin for the original writers, Ed James and Ronnie Cook, so they can claim their share. Local punk band Litmus Green plays at Jerry's Pizza & Pub in downtown Bakersfield, the epicenter for emo in the U.S.'s most emo town.It’s up for speculation whether emo has a happy ending in Bakersfield or whether its 2022 moment in the ... er, sun is fleeting. Plus, what’s next seems to have already arrived. “We’re now seeing a big wave of metal,” Jimenez said. “Speed metal, thrash, death metal, black metal — you name it. That’s what’s starting to happen here.
As the year of emo comes to a close, maybe Reddit user KneekO said it best for all of Bakersfield and beyond, getting down to black heart of the real reason emo took center stage this year: “I’m not okay ”
