Different parts of the world see trends come and go fast. You didn't really didn't have emo or for that matter rock on the radio in 2014 That is nationwide. May I ask what region you are from, cause that could say why Emo might have lasted longer there. Not trying to put down any state or anything, just saying that Ny, Cali, Miami etc are usually the leaders of where trends pop off first. (usa wise) I can say as someone who traveled often in 2013 did not see anyone dressed as emo during that time. I went to London as well and didn't see any. I did see hipster everywhere I went. Man buns, suspenders, yoga pants, mustaches etc etc but no emo swoops or checkerboard belt. I mean only a few years ago 2017 emo was treated as an outdated name and genre from years gone by theculturetrip.com/europe/united-kingdom/england/articles/these-songs-will-take-you-back-to-your-embarrassing-emo-phase/when talking about the emo subculture it references the 2000s mainly 2004 -2007 I mean I am not saying some regions didn't have some lingering effects, but I find it hard to believe in 2013 and 2014 Emo still had a foothold in popular culture. Yeah so I’m from Michigan but spent a lot of time in Boston during the early 2010s, having gone to college in the area. I can confirm that in Boston, it was like a day-to-night switch around 2011 or so from emo to hipsters. But again, that wasn’t until 2011 that I could say the emo thing was well and truly gone, it happened right around the time Occupy Boston began. In Michigan, people continued to use emo as an insult well into 2014. There weren’t any people dressing that way by then, but there were people still listening to the music. I think it’s also VERY important to remember that one of the blind spots of this forum is people focus A LOT on youth interfacing with culture. Most of the atmosphere threads seem to focus on people in high school, to the exclusion of how college-aged and older adults may relate to the same culture of the time. So somebody who dressed emo in 2006 may not still dress that way in 2014, but they may still be listening to their old favorites like Panic! At the Disco who were still actively releasing new music at the time. I am in Boston right now, I go there every summer since I was 5. I didn't see anyone in the Boston commons wearing emo looks in 2011. On Newbury st when American Apparel opened it had huge lines going in and out. I even have pictures of it. You know Somerville mass I remember when that started getting gentrified and became a " hipster" center in 2008. The emo's were swiftly washed away as the months went by. Listening to emo and loving an emo band is not the same as a subculture being strong like it was from 2004 - somewhere in 2007 This is a random article from Jan 2012 talking about Rutgers and how Hipster has penetrated culture at a rapid rate talknerdy2me.org/observations-of-the-hipster-life/

Prior to that was a different wave of emo that wasn't really as much of a pop culture fixation. I would say by the end of 2008 it was starting to seem a bit less popular and by 2009 was like the last proper year of it, in the sense of being omnipresent and constantly talking about it. I did remember seeing emo/scene and related music and offshoots around late 2009-2012. I think 2013-2014 was the last gasp of certain parts of very early 2010s culture, even though we were kind of in the mid 2010s
