new wave emo 

The current emo kids that aren’t actually emo. They obsess over 21 pilots, FAB, Lil peep. They claim to be sad with Billie Eilish being their starter pack. They’re usually younger and less cool then the traditional emo kids from 2000 to 2012. Most then likely, they’ll have a shitty taste in music and are not that big into bands. Even then, they claim to be edgy when they’re the Cheap version. As for their physical appearance, they don’t look emo at all unless they show a hint such as a crazy hair color.

Person 1: Does she like rock bands at all? I can’t tell.

Person 2: She has a 21 pilots shirt on. She must be from the new wave emo era.
