Broader term of e-boys and e-girls. Gen Z (generally under 25) people way too into the retro 2000s emo pop punk aesthetic but upping the edginess with more tattoos, especially face tattoos and trying to pretend they're much darker, more suicidal, into hard drugs, etc. compared to 2000s emo, who really didn't sing about drugs, weren't really that dark, and only some MTV emo-metalcore bands had the face tattoos then. They listen to emo trap, trap metal, Soundcloud rap, trap, and 2000s emo. Partly the usual 20 year retro rehashing that always happens but also sort of a backlash against the white collar job friendly fashion style trends (arguably a result of the awful job market and people trying to look very presentable to get hired) and radio / commercial friendly indie-folk and pop EDM of the early to mid 2010s . Fashion and music trends constantly change though, so don't expect it to be nearly as popular by the mid 2020s.
