I fucking love Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, and All Time Low to name a few. It's a shame most people view "emo" music and all pop punk as a meme when in reality it often had the deepest and most creative songwriting and has endless replayibility. It's a bigger shame most of bands sold out and went full pop.

Paramore was dope and got way worse after their singer and guitarist broke up and basically everyone but Hayley Williams left the band.
I've liked the occasional single from Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance
Panic! At the Disco was always terrible.

I didn't use to, but now I bop to a lot of it. Mostly MCR, Fallout boy, and Panic At The Disco.
Maybe age made me separate the music from the kids that used to listen to it.

Edit: I forgot to mention Blue October, that used to be my band for all of middle school.
 
I used to think 2000s emo pop and punk pop was the worst genre ever, and then the ke$ha Justin Bieber era came to being and I thought it couldn't possibly get worse than that and then the nigger trap music became popular, and now we live in an era with nigger diarrhea "music" that has the pleasantness and creativity that rivals goremetal.

I'd be a liar if I said I didn't enjoy a lot of All Time Low sounding riff oriented emo-ish shit back in the day, I loved that shit. But I'd also be a liar if I said I'd feel gay and retarded deliberately going back to it 20 years later. Plus half the people I met through that music got into gayer and more retarded indie and punk faggot music, and if that ain't a red flag then I dunno what is.

I don't know much about the genre but it captures the 2000s aesthetic (or a part of it) perfectly. Take these songs for example (although they're from related genres):


 
Back in the 00's I thought that whole scene -- including the music -- was really gay as I was going through a "METAL or DIE" phase. I admit I do have some fond memories thrifting through Hot Topic for band tees though, back when malls were still a thing you did with friends.

Nowadays...I still think the people that associate(d) with that scene are pretty gay. The older crowd (like core millennials) who you can tell were former emos that I see show up at shows are just as insufferable as they always were, except now they're also fat and ugly (the girls were pretty cute I admit) without having lost their touch of cliquism. The younger crowd I can't really comment on -- to me, TikTok and other social media has atomized the meaning of subcultures in general for that age range.

My view on the music itself has softened up a bit though in recent years, I find there's a few tracks that at least have a good melody that I can kick with.
