They just released a new album this year which is pretty good. Plus heaps of "the youth" around my way ate wearing limp bizkit, korn and deftones merch, so maybe?

Just like kids in the 2000s wore Nirvana shirts. Retro. Vintage.
I was a kid then, loved nirvana and would've worn a shirt if I could dead with being called a poser
No
Hell yes i've heard of Evanesence:
So close.
Obsessively watched Dream Too Much with baby son. Years later tween son fills house with metal... Including Evanescence. Long con. In fact, if you have a metal newborn, check out Rockabye Baby - artists grownups love across genres in muzac versions for babies.
What?
Did you search Dream Too Much before replying?
No I just masturbate sometimes. Sometimes many times. But not in my window or outside. Anymore.
Really just get a video on tiktok with one of their songs. The amount of older music gen alpha listens to because they saw it on tiktok is insane.
That lady wants to steal a bunch of puppies.
Honestly maybe it's because I'm a horrid autistic Gen Z that didn't really like music until I play NV but even with my modern horrid niche tastes I still don't get why folks like/ liked Evanescence. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go back to listening to Korpiklaani.
Of course I have! Hybrid Theory is one of my favorite albums of all time.
I also like divorced dad rock
You bastard
Evanescence? Is that like a bottled water brand?
It's clearly a perfume.
Isn’t that evanescents?
WAKE ME UP INSIDE!!!
I lived in England at that time and what my coworkers heard was
WANK ME OFF!
I CAN'T WANK OFF!
Hilarious to me, especially since it summed up my thoughts on the song.
(I can't wake up)

(SAave maeee!)
Save me from this nothing I've become!
If I could spell out in onomatopoeia form the guitar riff and background vocals to this part, I totally would, because I can hear it clearly in my mind
I want a doctor
To take your picture
So I can look at you
From inside as well.
"Turning Japanese" by The Vapors
My uni soundtrack!
I went to a Within Temptation concert. Evanescence was their low profile opening act. They played their old stuff and some of us millennials got hyped. No one cared when they played new stuff.
The sad truth is that Goth metal is a very niche taste and Evanescence is old news.
Sounds like a crowd problem.
The crowd should check out Evanescence's new stuff, it's good.
Now imagine me, a fan of Lacuna Coil, seeing Evanescence and Within Temptation go quasi-mainstream while they stayed in the shadows... With hindsight I suppose it wasn't that bad since they are still touring and making new albums, but still.
That lacuna coil is not more popular is a tragedy
I enjoy liking obscure bands. Been to a Lacuna Coil concert for £20 and stood in almost touching distance of the stage.
Within Temptation is still around? I haven't really listened to them in ages, the last "new" album of theirs I remember was The Heart of Everything, so apparently since 2007.
I'm pretty sure they are still an active band on radio rotation. It's not like asking "Ever heard of Hot Action Cop?
They released a new album in June this year
Is the original joke that Evanescence is actually still popular in rock, so asking makes you look silly?
Evanescence literally had two #1 hits over the past two years.
People who listen to rock music have definitely heard of Evanescence.
I wouldn't say definitely based on hits charts: people can be pretty unaware of culturally significant bands quite easily by only using streaming services...
I literally only know them from the video game Burnout
They're on tour in the US right now. I see merch everywhere, and on the rare occasion that I listen to the radio, they still pop up.
Yes I have! The video clip where she hangs on the windows almost ready to fall, is something I will always remember. It was a big hit back then.
Maybe they've heard of Cryoshell
