I'm not really willing to say these characteristics of emo partly because everyone argues about it/I don't now all about it.
The emo era is just like the grunge era...sorta. It reached a peak and now is declining/dead. There are still a few bands linked to this "emo" scene but now its being replaced with other bands who play catchy, sappy/predictable music, where ONLY the critics and people, NOT the bands, lable as emo.
