To score with hawt chicks, obviously.
It was the decades when the events of the "Scott Pilgrim" comics were set.
The "alternative" and "indie" countercultures were dominating the mainstream.
The most popular cartoon was "Invader Zim" and "Mindless Self Indulgence" was all the raeg.
Stupid 13 year old girls (like jesse slaughter) were listening to the shitty rave music made by the myspace celebrities who would prey upon them (like blood on the dance floor).
Watch these two videos, Sam Hyde perfectly captures the scene emo bands of this period (yes, they were often composed of walking red flags).

Not all that novel. Genx had Hairbands
which were extremely androgynous. If you go back even further, the British had Macaroni
which was also androgynous. BTW, scene was post 2000's. Pre 2000's it was blink182, limp bizkit etc.
