Why Your Favorite Pop-Punk & Emo Bands Are Dominating The Charts
Emo revivalism is a two-word phrase that has been a contentious one since its inception, and remains so today. Originally coined to describe the return of Midwest emo greats The Promise Ring, American Football and their ilk, the expression now extends to certain mainstream bands of the mid-aughts, groups like Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance and The Used who became successful by taking over the mall and high school soundtracks.
It makes sense that these bands can find themselves once again enjoying the acclaim that they did nearly a decade (sometimes, over a decade) prior. The kids who grew up with those bands, well, grew up: They're in their 20's now, and they've learned to embrace the sounds of their adolescence instead of finding shame within them.
