It was around 2007 — half the schoolyard was dyeing their fringe and listening to heartbreak anthems, the other half was hanging out in cemeteries in black coats. And then, almost overnight, it all vanished.
In this video we break down:
— where goths (post-punk, late ’70s) and emo (hardcore punk, mid-’80s) actually came from
— why MySpace became the main catalyst for the emo explosion of the 2000s
— four reasons the subculture “disappeared” from the streets
— and most importantly — where they actually went: why goth never really left, and why we’re seeing a genuine “emo revival” right now
