It seems that [livejournal.com profile] freakytigger isn't the only one getting in a tizzy as to what all this emo nonsense is about. Popjustice newsletter points us here:

And here:

Unsurprisingly the Mail has the "better" moral panic headline...

edit for our overseas viewers, the young lady in the picture on the mail story is a character in Coronation Street, the UK's longest running soap opera, who went goth about 9 months ago, having been sent to a posh school by her pushy mother. she is totally not emo.

AHAHAHA, sorry, I have to pull this bit apart, I hadn't noticed it before (from the Indie article):
THE NEW GOTH CULTURE

Bands:
The Horrors, My Chemical Romance, Funeral for a Friend, Alkaline Trio, Dirty Pretty Things


What about Bright Eyes?! Lostprophets, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, The Used, Armor For Sleep, Pixies (I suspect, anyway, that they may have been hijacked by emo) Cute Is What We Aim For, Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Avenged Sevenfold, Alexisonfire, Hatebreed, District... the list goes on for literally hours and does not include Dirty Pretty Things, fer chrissakes.
