"But modern emo is something quite different. It mixed dress elements from goth and punk with splashes of color and cutesy graphics drawn more from Japanese street culture. The music became poppier, more targeted at young MTV viewers. In 2006, it finally became a clear mainstream phenomenon..."But today, many say that the emo trend is on its way out.

For some, emo has been a trend; for others it's a reality. Source: The Press (New Zealand)
