There is still tons of bands playing real emo, and all the other "emo" bands are basically pop groups with guitars. If you listen to saves the day, taking back sunday, anberlin, bayside, the used etc and all these other supposed "emo" bands you'll realize half it is either pop music or hard rock with post-hardcore influences. They have a genre they belong to it, and its easy to see that. A genre can't change so much as too where its not even the same thing, paramore emotionally driven hardcore? Nope.
Shut up?
Oh dear , shame you had to resort to that.

I can actually see you do have points , I just think you are being extremely naive.Every genre has genuine bands, every genre has bands that jump on the bandwagon or have little to do with the original scene and emo is no different.Emo stopped being just about 'emotional hardcore' years ago , thats where it`s roots came from and now it`s diversified into 'pop music with hardcore influences' as you say yourself.You don`t have to like it but you can`t deny thats what the public mainstream idea of emo is , and that is what it will be remembered as years from now.
