When and why did Emo/Screamo become the laughing stalk of

>>74430677
HArdcore music is already the laughing stock of music. Why dig deeper to find the shit of shit?

Once emo started getting further from its hardcore roots and closer to its indie rock roots, the genre got boring as fuck.

When screamo toned down the chaos and starting sounding more like post-hardcore, the interesting dynamics of the genre got lost as well.

Since its conception. Rap is even worse, though.

Almost immediately upon its inception. It just wasn't meant to last.

orchid is the best hardcore punk band to ever exist though

all indie rock recorded after 1997 is inferior to indie rock recorded prior to 1997
prove me wrong (hint: you can't)

Damn I thought they were some sort of metal. I still love Minor Threat tho

>>74430677
When? it was founded
Why? it's called Emo/Screamo

>>74430677
when the dudes started being total knobs about it. it was just a fad among urban youth mid 2000's and when these bands went more indie, so did the youth and then hipsters were born. It's all bullshit

when a bunch of popular metalcore acts started being branded by mtv and kids that didn't know anything as emo/screamo and it became weird to like any of that stuff

they ruined it with shitty album art

It became a laughing stock when it got co-opted by pop punk and metalcore bands in the mid 00s. I thought everyone knew that. Dumb question.

People confuse melodic metalcore with screamo and that certainly didn't help its image.
I went to school with a guy who would refer to Asking Alexandria as screamo.

isn't there a reason this happened? i think many people (including me) enjoy both "emo" and pop-punk

>>74432064
i think its cause emo-pop started to become a thing, like the get up kids, but bands that were worse, until it got to the point where the diluted emopop bands and the diluted pop punk bands got associated together and the rest is history
