Are emos completely extinct?
Unfortunately no, they still exist just lesser numbers now. Also most "emos" now just express their "depression" through post-ironic memes.
So, they're kinda still around.

No. My friend's hot sister wants/ed to hook me up with her emo friend.
im still alive unfortunately
The complete emo look from the 2000s has died but there are still quite abit of people who consider themselves emo. Shit maybe i'm considered emo because i enjoy bands like fob and mcr.
>inb4 shit music taste
I listen to them ocassionaly.
pretty sure the term 'emo' is dead and they're just back to being goths, or maybe just hipsters now idfk
too bad it died, I liked the look as tacky as it is
That's it, robots. I'm going to kill myself. Tell me not to kill myself.
A lot of the emo kids I knew either turned into massive SJWs or ended up on sex offender registries.
There are still plenty around in germany
>inb4 including myself
these depressive / life-denying subcultures like emo and goth seem to just die out in a few years, what is it that makes a bad taste genre like metal outlive them so hard?

All those subcultures evolved, now we have edgautismcore.

This doesn't even make me angry anymore
Just sad
>>37225075
I just turned punk instead. Unfortunately still alive.

Why would you be angry in the first place, what's wrong with you

It's not that they evolved or stopped existing it's just that they stopped being mainstream.
Every half-decade or so had its own mainstream alternative culture.
>mid-late 2000s: emo & scene
>early 2000s: emo with less make-up, pop-punk
>mid-late 90s: nu-metal and mallgoth
>early 90s: grunge
>mid-late 80s: thrash metal
>early 80s: glam metal
>mid-late 70: punk rock
>etc.
There unfortunately hasn't been a mainstream alternative culture since the 2000s because the internet replaced mainstream media as a source of alternative culture, so kids just pick and choose if they want to dress like 80s crust punk or late 90s mallgoths or whatever else.

metal also comes and goes into the mainstream in various forms like how nu-metal ruled MTV in the late 90s, and before that it was thrash metal, and before that hair metal, etc.
Emo and goth also came and went. We think of Emo and Goth as being from the early 2000s but their original from come from the 80s and early 90s.

oh and there's some more crossover genres too like metalcore and hardcore punk and horrorcore rap that can fit in either/or categories.
Like Kottonmouth Kings was a weird crossover of everything late 90s. Boy band aesthetics, a bit of punk rock, DUDE WEED LMAO, white boy hip-hop that was resurging alongside ICP and Eminem and Limp Bizkit. Those dudes are all in their late 40s by now
it's such a bummer that emo means shitty 2000s eyeliner pop punk to most people
