The emo moral panic has so many similarities to the satanic panic of the 80s. In the 80s it was "Teen dies and is discovered to have been partaking in dungeons and dragons/satanic literature" and in the 2000s, it was "Teen dies and is discovered to have been listening to emo music." It's tragic that kids died but correlation isn't always causation.

My town had a big goth/emo presence in the 2000s, they were scary looking, but were always so polite and friendly. In fact, it totally changed my understanding of them. They werenāt weirdos, they looked a bit weird sure, but they were good people. I miss seeing them hanging around and the goth shops all closed which is sad

Emo music saved my life. Black Veil Brides, Falling in Reverse, Escape the Fate and Paramore showed me itās okay to feel and let things out. Later I screamed and danced my anger away through Metal and Industrial, got to know stillness of the mind through Dark Wave and Psytrance and now mostly listen to Hard Rock, Jazz, Classical Guitar Music and Folk. Music is incredibly powerful.

I was emo back in the days haha I would say being emo was based on some mental struggles and internet was quite helpful with finding other people with similar struggles. Parents were blaming the music, friends, you name it but being emo it was sort of form of connection with other kids that were struggling with some stuff and also form of expression for parents to notice that there was something going on.

From an elder emo, I'd say everything you've said was spot on about the emo subculture in the 2000s. But what I didn't know was the killing and witch hunting of emos in Iraq, Mexico and in Russia which breaks my heart. Rest in Peace for the emos who never got the chance to grow up and make it to the emo revival of the 2020s. š
They will not be forgotten ā¤ļøāš©¹

As a depressed kid raised by the internet, sure listening to depressing lyrics makes me cry, but thats a good thing. I was never allowed to express negative emotions at home or anywhere else so I stopped being able to feel them. I was constantly empty and I didn't feel alive. When I did finally cry it felt liberating. Some things have to get worse before they get better

I was an undiagnosed depressive when emo into play. This was in the days before the NHS diagnosed anyone under 25 with depression. It helped me feel not alone. The hatred actually spurred people to give me a spot in therapy so now I can function in the world even while going through crippling depression.

I was an emo throughout my childhood, I found comfort in emo culture. A lot of the kids in it were experiencing the same things as me, being in foster care, abusive parents, body image issues. Every time I got bullied in school, or felt worthless, I knew there was other kids out there going through the same thing. It really did save me from a lot of depressive thoughts. Then I started therapy around the end of highschool, and slowly related to emo culture less, finding that associating myself with positive thoughts was better for my overall mental health. But I still, even now in my 20s, have a lot of respect for emos and think it's tragic how much they were and still are targetted by abusive personalities.

I used to be an emo kid. I can't really explain as to why I got in to that subculture. I liked the music, I liked the "look", had mental health issues and had always been a sort of outsider. Then there was this subculture where I could be open about my mental health struggles, I wasn't judged for it, and I always had a shoulder to cry on when things got to be too much. Everyone in the subculture I met would welcome me with open arms and just seeing someone emo on the streets would be a meeting of new friends. We all shared something that brought us together and we were friends almost immediately just because we were part of the same subculture. Today I dress normally, still struggle with mental health issues from time to time, and don't really have any contact with any of the emo friends I had back then, but I'll never forget the times I spent in the subculture since that's where I met some of the most kindhearted and open minded people I had ever met and I owe the culture a lot for who I am today.
