Mom Jeans.

Mom Jeans. is an indie rock band from Berkeley, California, formed in the mid-2010s within the emo revival scene that also produced acts like Origami Angel and Prince Daddy & the Hyena. The band takes its tongue-in-cheek name from the unglamorous denim your mom (or a hipster crush) might wear, matching the self-deprecating, diary-entry lyricism that runs through their catalog — songs like «Death Cup» and «Edward 40hands» blend confessional heartbreak with wry humor and pop-culture references.

Their sound pairs twinkly, technical guitar work with pop-punk energy and emo vocal delivery, drawing comparisons to bands like American Football and Modern Baseball while carving out a more manic, hook-driven identity of their own. The band frequently threads brass instrumentation into its arrangements, a detail tied to members doubling on trumpet and trombone.

Mom Jeans. built its following through DIY touring and a devoted online fanbase before releasing full-length albums that cemented their place in the modern emo landscape. Tracks such as «Scott Pilgrim vs. My GPA» and «Vape Nation» became fan favorites for capturing the anxieties and absurdities of young adulthood with equal parts sincerity and irony.
