Wednesday morning, CBS News ran a segment about “The Return Of Emo Music,” interviewing Demi Lovato, Mod Sun, Landon Barker, and the founders of Emo Nite. In the segment, the artists explained how what they describe as the “emo aesthetic” is coming back in full swing. Mod Sun elaborated saying, “Look at how people are dressing again. People are falling in love with this world that was created back then that wasn’t cool, and it’s embraced now.” Is the angsty alternative-rock genre truly making a comeback? Would you describe yourself as an “emo kid”? Discuss below.
