Are emo bands still a thing? That seems so two-decades-ago.

What are the kids into now?

These days, everything is kind of a thing. You can find people cosplaying 1920's jazz bands.

I'd count The Used as emo, and they're still awesome.

Well, I'm ~18 and listen to MCR, but I don't call myself an emo.

Man I listened to mcr 15+ years ago. Can't believe it's still going. Pretty cool

I’d say Midwest emo is kinda a fusion of pop punk, emo and a garage band and that’s pretty popular right now

Like checkout Petey or Backstreet lovers

That sounds almost as bad as country music

Emo nights are a thing around the US, not sure about the crowd age.

There is a screamo scene made up of gen z kids that seems to be rising in popularity. Check out a band called Catalyst... if you want to get an idea of what they are doing. Its actually really good stuff, and reminds me of the underground emo/screamo scene back in the late 90s/early 2000s.
