Has The 2000s Emo Scene Still Held Up

Growing up from Middle School to High School I listened to a lot of metal core and pop punk bands that are still around today but some have completely change their style and audience from when they first started making music. Some in good ways, others no so good. I remember within the first weeks of class people discussing Bring Me The Horizon putting out pop music now, they are not the only ones in this scene who’ve made a drastic change in musical style in recent years. Many fans were disappointed when the band Underoath went from being a Christian style rock band to making a complete 180 and making music with satanic undertones. We’ve also had bands loose members to purse other passion projects such as Cassadee Pope from pop punk Hey Monday leaving the band to compete on the Voice and become a country singer and Mattie Montgomery leaving his Christian metal band For Today to pursue preaching the word of God across the U.S. an overseas.

  1. Wow, yeah. While sometimes it’s good for bands to experiment with other styles or sometimes people make other decisions about their careers, it can be disappointing. I’ve noticed changes happen a lot in hardcore bands; it disappoints me when they turn more to pop styles- something special gets lost.
