Hey I'm new to this site. Not sure if this is in the right area sorry if it isn't. I'm looking for a good pair of earbuds. Ones that last very long, are under $100 or close to that price. Not sure if this matters but
I listen to mostly screamo, acoustic, and electronic music. (bands such as we came as Romans, breathe Carolina, never shout never, confide and our last night). I care more about quality not the looks but a good looking pair is a plus. I'm new to the whole headphones thing. Well quality headphones. I've been sticking with ok ones that are cheap and would like to upgrade. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
For around $100 US I can suggest RE0, also Radius DDM (HP-TWF11R) world's first dynamic  dual driver earphone.
Last one cost around $170 (depending where you are at, UK or US or AU) so that is out of your price range but you can get an OEM version for around $100 US from one Japanese dealer. I myself purchased one from them.
Look it up on the forum for links
Here is a review for DDM

There are many other options out there liek Super fi 3 but I only speak for what I heard.

Ya I've been looking around on the forums and saw the klipsch image s4i, and re0. Still have to put a lot of research and stuff in tho before I spend $70-$100. Lol.

In-ear perhaps, not 'earphone'. Panasonics used to make dual driver earbuds back in 80's.

Ok so I've narrowed it down to 2-3 headphones. The re0, the re-zero, and the klipsch image s4i. (don't know difference between re0/re-zero if someone would be kind enough to explain lol)

Ok it sounds like you are after IEMs (In Ear Monitors) as opposed to Earbuds.
If you haven't already I highly recommend reading the following threads.
