If you had any doubts, we can clear them up now. Emo music not only still exists — it's thriving.

A new exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame focuses on Hopeless Records and its history.

The independent record label has had an impressive roster over the last 30 years, featuring some of pop punk and emo music's biggest names from Sum 41 to All Time Low to Avenged Sevenfold.

NPR's Juana Summers travels to Cleveland, Ohio to visit the exhibit and dives into why emo music remains relevant today.
