(+) Yeah! (+)

It's pretty popular, right? What genre is it? Is it much fun? It is just weeb trash?

Outside of Japan, SMT isn't actually all that popular, only the sub series Persona is

Megumi

On topic, it's a series of JRPGs. I've only played 4 but it was pretty great. Very tight combat

It has a subseries: Persona. The latest main entry, Persona 5 Royal, is the second best game I've ever played

I may not get all details right, but this is my understanding:

Shin Megami Tensei (sometimes the franchise is collectively called Megami Tensei / Mega-Ten) is (primarily) a series of JRPG dungeon crawlers. There are a number of spin-offs, including Persona (a more linear, story-focused JRPG series, where you live the day-to-day life of a teenager while "saving the world"), Digital Devil Saga (more traditional JRPGs), Devil Survivor (strategy RPGs like Fire Emblem), etc.

Persona itself has fighting and rhythm game spin-offs.

If you're not into JRPGs or anime, it'll probably seem like "weeb trash". Well, Persona and its spin-offs anyway. The others, not so much.

dungeon-crawling RPGs in which you recruit demons to help you fight other demons. like a cooler, older, much harder pokemon

This, and as a series, SMT and the overall Megaten umbrella has been around for nearly a decade longer than Pokemon.
