The emo revival (also known as the post-emo revival, the Midwestern emo revival, and fourth wave emo) was an underground emo movement which came about in the late 2000s to early 2010s. Groups of the emo revival largely abandon the style of the mainstream emo acts of the mid 2000s in favor of a style influenced by 1990s emo acts. The revival had largely dissolved by the mid 2010s. History and characteristics By the early 2010s emo had largely waned in commercial popularity. A number of bands that were popular during the mid 2000s either broke up or changed their sound. Meanwhile, an underground revival began to emerge with bands such as Snowing and Algernon Cadwallader being forerunners of the movement. Bands of the revival are influenced by the second wave emo acts from the Midwestern emo scene of the 1990s and early 2000s. Bands often display a "DIY sound" and lyrical themes range from nostalgia to adulthood. Emo revival scenes have sprung up throughout the United States and United Kingdom, with notable scenes in cities such as Philadelphia which has produced important groups to the scene such as Everyone Everywhere, Modern Baseball, Hop Along, Cayetana, Jank, Marietta, Algernon Cadwallader, and Snowing. Other important emo revival acts include Citizen, Title Fight, The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, Touché Amoré, Into It.

(I Was a Lonely Estate), Dikembe, Crash of Rhinos, A Great Big Pile Of Leaves, Balance and Composure, OWEL, You Blew It!,The Brave Little Abacus and the Hotelier. This revival has also been credited with, even further, expanding the style of emo, with many bands introducing new elements and sounds while keeping the "classic twinkly emo sound". Since the emo revival began in the early 2010, various emo bands from the 1990s and early 2000s have reunited for reunion tours or permanent reunions American Football, Cap'n Jazz, The Anniversary, Braid, Mineral, and The Promise Ring. During the mid 2010s, the revival had largely begun to dissolve, although bands such as Hot Mulligan and Origami Angel continue to produce underground emo music.
