the r/emo sidebar on emo revival:

Recently, there has been a renewed interest in emo, especially midwest emo. These bands are heavily influenced by Cap'n Jazz and often have a strong bent towards math rock and post-rock in their song structure and guitar work. A few examples of these twinkledaddy bands are Street Smart Cyclist, Snowing, Algernon Cadwallader, The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, and Glocca Morra. As this scene grew and grew in popularity, #emorevival became a near-mainstream style of indie rock which took from various facets of Midwest, screamo, and emo pop, as played by bands such as the Hotelier, Free Throw, and late-period You Blew It!.

There is even an emo pop revival scene centered around Midwest-influenced indie rock bands with mildly intricate guitar work and deeply personal, confessional lyrics. These bands include Modern Baseball, Sorority Noise, and the Front Bottoms. Within this scene is a style known as sparklepunk, which combines Braid-like "jolly" twinkles with lo-fi, noodly college rock guitar work, built around a base of pop-punk. Sparklepunk bands include Mom Jeans, Darkle, and Donovan Wolfington.

so yes there are still emo kids and yes i listen to their music sometimes
