Because Emo music is horrible, to answer your question..
Mall Emo is terrible, but the original "emocore" wasn't that terrible. It's not my thing, but it's at least better than half the shit that's on TV.

Emo started off as an off-shoot of punk. It was specifically underground, and have very few bands and followers to begin with. In Washington D.C, in the early 80's (i believe) it began with bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, Rites of Spring, and later ones like jimmy eat world or the promise ring. There was one band in particular that started it, but I cannot remember.

Anyway, it actually started with closely tied roots to grunge, punk, and rock. The reason it is currently classified as whiny is because old emo music was known to be emotional and "powerful" with honest lyrics.

Eventually the style repeated itself, each with a slight twist, continuing to leave the punk scene, band by band. Eventually it became modern-day emo, which is screamo, hard-rock, etc. Scene-emo also exists, which consists of crunk, rapcore, sexcore, pop-punk, and Jeffree star.

There is actually a book on emo which i admittedly skimmed through. It's "Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo" by Andy Greenwald.

There may be a connection to Grunge. Nirvana is known to connecting vocal notes to words to create an emotional sound. Yet this wrong. Emo is something like E... Musical Orchestra and has nothing to do with emotions at all. Someone made that up completely.

Baby Boomers just don't understand younger people wanting to get away from anything that sounds like their parent's music or underestimate the popularity of New Age in the United States. Over half of the people in the US are Athiest or Agnostic. Oregon has probably the highest population of Athiests in the US. Most are Budhists, Believe in Science or basically anything not relying on an unprovable God.
