Why is emo so popular?

At first i liked it because it was only two bands being original but know it a whole bunch of crappy bands whining about how they hate their lives its stupid it's crap.

emo is the hair metal of today im serious their sell outs tryin to take over the charts and not real music. I hope history is gonna repeat itself and some great generation X band Like Nirvana will come and end it soon and great bands like the red hot chili peppers and a whole bunch of other real music bands finally get a chance at the light.

The rock genre is growing less and less interesting as the years go by. Like you, I've been waiting for the next Nirvana or so to speak. I skipped over the Emo era and I refuse to give it a chance. It should be gone soon and those kids in the future will look back at their ball tight jeans and shitty haircuts and kick themselves for bringing back the 80's in the 2000's.

Why is emo so popular?

I have gotten into debate with tons of people over this particular subject.

It's so popular because

1. little whiny brats are insecure and think that its cool to cry about their problems and hurt themselves.

2. because it seems like the "cool" thing to do. everyone else is doing it

3. they think they are really rebelling by wearing 10 times as much eyeliner than necessary.

Yeah, gee, they really are non-conforming.

... Okay, if you are apart of a group of people, who look alike, act alike, and have the same "taste" in many things... you are not nonconforming.

Cause people like complaining and winging about how bad there life is and how they want to end it all!!! And saying that they have the world on there shoulders , I think it's lame as well people should move on and get over it.

Well I am not really into emo but I do like Taking Back Sunday. They are considered screamo though. I like it cause it is controversal. Don't worry, bad bands don't last. You might like TBS so try them.

It's popular because they complain about issues that most hormonal teenagers can relate to. Allow me to demonstrate:

"I woke up late for school/job,

I'm a loser and I'm not very cool,

Noone understands all my pain,

My girlfriend dumped me once again,

My parents telling me to get out

and now my dog was hit by a pickup

Oh yea yea noone loves me and I just want to diiiiiieeee".

There's that's your summary of a typical EMO song. Hope you enjoyed it.

It's the lousy teenagers who think they are rebels by listening to this so called "music". They'll get over it.

Why was disco popular? Some are actually ashamed to say that they used to like disco.

Music differs through years, and emo is supposedly big, but everyone falls under the "cutting wrists, hating life" label that it's amazing to find anyone who actually knows what emo music is like, not who the emos are. And when you actually know who are the emo bands, you can see that they aren't as big as people would say. Example, not Fall Out Boy, or My Chemical Romance.
