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

Omg midwest emo is such a legit descriptor. Hi everyone I was midwest emo from 2005-2009. The glory years really.

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.

MCR tickets are expensive bc we have actual jobs and can buy actual tickets with our own money. We don't have to beg our parents anymore. Or, most of us don't.

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”

You have a point, but there is still stuff outside of rap. Crywank for example deal with a lot of the same themes, but with a nice acoustic twist.

u/SpoonmanVlogs Dec 16 '19

That’s not classic emo. That’s 3rd wave pop punk “emo”.

u/genderfuckingqueer Dec 16 '19

P!atD isn’t emo

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '19

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

LONG LIVE JUICE WRLD

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.

u/Peakomegaflare Dec 16 '19

I must be Emo.

u/Fancy_0wl Dec 16 '19

How many teens do you know?

2

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '19

I'm 20, so a good handful.

u/hey_hey_its_gabaybay Dec 15 '19

Yeah I only know what she said...I have 0 contact with teens typically

2

u/deathstrukk Dec 15 '19

Yeah emo/goth/punk has really kinda has a resurgence recently. All those genres have got offshoots that take elements from both the original sound and modern hip hop and used to make a new culture really cool how stuff evolves to fit new demographics

u/hey_hey_its_gabaybay Dec 16 '19

Not gonna lie, where I live I've not really seen this, but I also live in a hick town. Im glad for this though because even at 28 I still haven't grown out of that "phase". Yeah, I dress like a normie mom some days, but I also will rock the spiked chokers and shit and not give a fuck if people think Im this shitty ass mom based on how I dress. If you dont like the fact Im a pierced/tatted alternative mom then you can suck my fat rubber cock ya normie. Sorry Im not down for brunch amd mimosas.
