After finding success on his first SoundCloud release, “adam sandler in wedding singer,” an auto-croon ballad about the struggles of letting go, Vincent Guarino, a.k.a. kid vintage, discovered a generation of fellow 20-somethings like himself struggling to find their place in the world in ways that were not entirely represented in today’s emo landscape. Giving a voice to all of those who feel alone and unlovable in a flashy social media and clout obsessed generation is what has become his responsibility as an artist. “No one’s ever gonna love me,” he cries on “voices,” a song personifying his depression and insecurities through the lens of a crumbling relationship. It is the sounds of early 2000s pop punk and post-808s & Heartbreak hip-hop that populate the DNA of the suburban-born artist, as well as the visual aesthetics of the year 2002 and the PlayStation 2 gaming console.
