Critisism

As certain fashion trends and attitudes began to be associated with "emo", stereotypes emerged that created a specific target for criticism. In the early 2000s, the criticism was relatively light-hearted and self-effacing. In ensuing years, the derision increased dramatically. Male fans of emo are often presumed by others to be homosexual; this is largely a reflection of the style of dress popular within the "emo scene" and the purported displays of emotion common in the scene. Complaints pointed to the histrionic manner in which the emotions were expressed.

In October of 2003, a Punk Planet contributor leveled the charge that the current era of emo was sexist. Hopper argued that where bands such as Jawbox, Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate had characterized women in such a way that they were not "exclusively defined by their absence or lensed through romantic-specter", contemporary bands approached relationship issues by "damning the girl on the other side ... its woman-induced misery has gone from being descriptive to being prescriptive." Regarding the position of women listening to emo, the contributor went on to note that the music had become "just another forum where women were locked in a stasis of outside observation, observing us through the eyes of others."

Critics of modern emo have argued that there is a tendency toward increasingly generic and homogenized style. Many popular bands have attempted to disassociate themselves with the "emo" tag; some have adopted the genre designation post-hardcore. Despite the criticism, the modern version of emo has maintained mainstream popularity.

In 2008, Time Magazine reported that "anti-emo" groups attacked teenagers in Mexico City, Santiago de Querétaro, and Tijuana.

Emo music has been blamed for the suicide by hanging of Hannah Bond by the coroner at the inquest into her death after it was claimed that emo music glamorized suicide and her apparent obsession with the emo band, My Chemical Romance was said to be linked to her suicide. The inquest revealed that she was part of an internet "emo" cultand had explained to her parents that her self harming was an "emo initiation ceremony" After an article in NME, fans of emo music contacted the magazine to defend accusations that it promotes self harm and suicide.
