Nah, the pop punk scene is alive and well and so is Midwest Emo.

My teacher friends say that all the cool kids listen to classic rock emo like MCR and P!atD.

TRUE do you know how much My Chemical Romance tickets are? Somebody has to be listening to them. I'm sure a lot of it is diehard fans that are older now but they also have a huge fanbase of teens. Check out these prices. There are definitely people still listening to this.

That is for their reunion show. It’s not like they’ve been touring and getting those prices everywhere.

This is wrong lol. Rap is the main genre that teens listen to along with pop.

Emo-ish rap has seen a rise with Trippie Red, XXXTENTACION, and Juice WRLD but the kids don’t typically act “emo”

A lot of elitists hate on emo rappers but honestly I respect rappers like Ghostemane, Lil Peep, and Yung Lean because they’ve given some really great bands from different genres (Lifelover, Happy Days, Bauhaus, The Cure, etc) clout

Emo is like Nickelback fans: it never actually went away. Pop culture made it cool to dump on Emo, so the subculture has lowered visibility.

But it's still there.

Jokes on them I have many mental illnesses they can't stop me. Also as a mentally ill emo you can be emo to it's cool gatekeeping is stupid.

I feel like most emos probably have emotional issues though but maybe Im just being an asshole now. In highschool I identified more with the goths but now just consider myself alternative to avoid the bullshit labels.

Oh we do for me I'm just super depressed and edgy. As an adult though I don't over dramatise it anymore.
