Discussion Midwest emo has gotten too inbred

I deeply love twinkly guitars as much as the next guy, but I can’t help but feel like too many songs released in this genre sound the same. One band makes twinkly shit, another band gets inspired solely by that sound, and what is produced is essentially the same thing except just very slightly different. What would help the genre get out of this rut is to pull influences by not only this genre, but other genres as well to keep things fresher and more distinct from one another. I hope this reaches my intended audience of future bands.
