Am I forgetting my emo lore, but hasn't Connor been a mess since literally ever? I feel like there was allegations at one point, but at this point that is every guy in the scene.

They were false, famously so actually. I do feel bad for him-really sucks to hear someone is struggling this badly.

Honestly, all the names and guys start to mold into at this point, but it good to hear at least he isn't that kind of creep.

That’s good to know because I’ve always had this in the back of my mind and it was tainting my nostalgic teenage love for Bright Eyes.

I don’t even know why the band bothered to keep going, to be honest. At the end he said he was probably going to kill himself.

Um, Jesus, that's upsetting. I really hope someone intervenes.

All the tweets about Conor on stage this past week have been very sad to read. I know he said his brother drank himself to death so all of it's sad

The video of this incident popped up on my tiktok fyp, and I couldn't believe how shocked the person was. He's been like this for years, this happens every time Bright Eyes tours. The fact that his band continues to parade him out on stage and act like it's normal is more shocking to me. What truly heinous people they must be.

i’m wide awake it’s morning was absolutely formative so even though i haven’t listened to much of what came
after, this is distressing to hear.
