I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'type of music' is the definition.
'emo' can be an answer for 'music' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'type of' bit.

'adopted by the mods?' is the wordplay.
'adopted by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EMO' can be found hidden inside 'the mods'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emo that I've seen before include "Serious type of rock" , "music?" , "Town and Court in Laois" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
