Rumors of emo/scene's demise in the '10s was exaggerated

depends where u lived, in New Jersey it was gone, places closer to New York, Paris or California are going to get trends and ditch old ones faster then other states

Interesting video. When I think back to what 2010 was like, this really isn't what I picture. The video actually seems somewhat out of place for it's time. The emo swoop was definitely still around, but I don't remember seeing people sport the full emo/scene look like the teens in the video, at least not during the Early 2010s anyway. Honestly, with the way in which they are dressed in the video, the use of a digital camera and the fact that it is a low quality video, it seriously looks like something straight out of 2007, lol.

Yeah, same girl. I also saw she did a video where she exhibited a whole bunch of outfits. It was pretty much peak 2000s, despite being dated in 2011.

The only non-dated thing in the video is that they took some pictures with an iPhone. It makes sense that midwestern/southern states will be late on fashion that the coastal states already adopted.

Emo/scene was still in the tail end of it's relevance in 2010 and it was completely gone by probably late 2012 or 2013. Scene hairstyles for guys were still extremely popular if not the dominant hairstyle as late as 2008. I remember trying to convince people this back on inthe00s.com.

Yeah, I would say location has a lot to do with what trends were popular in your area. I grew up in downtown Toronto which isn't the trendiest city but it's still urban. I always associated emos more with rich suburban kids who are desperate for attention. Even at its height in 2004-2007 I would not really place emo in the top 3 biggest subcultures that I noticed.

By the end of 2008-09 emo was dead at my school. I didn't even hear about "scene" until I joined inthe00s, I don't think that was ever a thing at my place (maybe a minor one). Scene also SCREAMS West Coast to me, I'm sure that's also a factor.

In my area, at the turn of the decade, I would say "Geeks" (who are not actually geeks), "hipsters" (who won't admit to being hipsters), and party girls/boys (not sure what else to call em, but they were a 2000s holdover) were the biggest subcultures.

The "metrosexual" look was also ubiquitous by 2010, something I think probably never took off in the suburbs. Dudes at my school were wearing scarves and peacoats (even in 2007 Toronto high school it would have been considered gay to wear a scarf), and ladies wearing leather jackets and tiiight skinny jeans. Those are some urban trends I think you would just never see in suburbs or rural areas.
