I hate emo but i think it got popular when the popular kids thought punk was cool, but they still wanted to stay in their surreal world that no one appreciates (exept them). They are just one more group of people to hate. I think Weezer started the emo movement, but My Chemical Romance passed a line that should not have been crossed.

emo is a type of music and thats all. but people decided it should be added to the long list of stereotypes that already exist. and no matter how much you wish it would end, its not going to.....because everyone stereotypes and everyone is stereotyped....thats just the way it works. the problem is that too many people let it get to them. and until they can get over it and care less about what other people think then its not going to get better.

cause they think there cool but they're not. Its like all popular now-a-days to be all like "i hate life". trust me i know. I had a myspace and like everyone was emo and had like black layouts. They think they're trying to not be cool, and be all rebelious, but really they are just trying to be cool.  ok and some people do do it because they seriously have that style, but some are just P O S E R S. if someone was emo before emo became "cool" then you can tell they're really emo.

Music that is supposed to come from deep emotions and envoke those emotions within you.\n\nMost of it is depressing.  EMO KIDS ROCK!  lol - yeah, it's a way of life.  like being goth but not as dark.\n\nIn the 80's we called it new wave (Depeche Mode, the Cure...)  same thing different generation.\n\nYes, Dashboard Confessional, Death cab for cutie, funeral for a friend, Coldplay.....

Haha please don't call yourself "emo"\n\nPeople who are like that, want to be different to get attention. They dress all black and act like the world hates them just so they can start stuff. It's stupid.

I understand where you're coming from, my mom is basically clueless to the teen styles/social classes. EMO is short for emotional. at an age of changing hormones and fighting to fit in, if ppl don't find a place in the social chain where they can fit in, then they often start to block out alot of the world around them and try to seek shelter inside their mind hoping somehow they'll find a friend. EMO kids usually wear kind of a mix of rocker/punk/goth clothing but not full strand to either one. like a typical emo kid would prolly have a black shirt sporting a heavy metal band or just skulls flames and stuff like that, dark colored jeans usually tight, wristbands to their elbows, spikey dyed hair, and other dark colored accessories. hope after you get through decoding all of my ramblings that this helps.

Emo. Short for emotional. Emo. A genre of punk rock. Emo. A dress code of tiny t-shirts and horn-rimmed glasses. Type the word "emo" into your average search engine and you'll get over three million results that will encompass nearly that many different opinions of what emo actually is. The general approach to the term is a lot like the approach to pornography, "I can't tell you exactly what it is, but I'll know it when I see (or hear) it." \nThe history of emo is somewhat less ambiguous than its current meaning. "Emo" music developed out of the D.C. punk scene in the '80s. In its original incarnation, emo was short for emocore, or emotional-hardcore. The name was applied to hardcore punk rock bands who distinguished themselves from their peers by adding an emotional component to their music, dealing with sadness and love and angst in their lyrics. The music was also characterized by particularly dramatic vocals which, at best, left the audience in an emotionally charged state, crying or screaming. These days, emo has been popularized and sent into the mainstream through bands like Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday and Saves the Day. \n\nEmo music has even inspired its own subcultural style. Take your average Rites of Spring fan and you get someone who looks a lot like Weezer's Rivers Cuomo--nerdy glasses, vintage tees, cuffed jeans, Converse sneakers and slightly shrunken tops. Black hair and straight bangs, tight hoodies and thrift shop attire are also associated with emo. And while emo devotees are notoriously upfront about their feelings, instead of wearing their hearts on their sleeves, they tend to favor ironic slogans and band logos. \n\nLately, labeling someone as "emo" is something of a put-down, a stand-in for "overly emotional" or "melodramatic." The implication is that they are excessively moody and angsty, prone to crying jags and plagued by a love of bad poetry. Hot Topic even issued a patch that read, "cheer up, emo kid!" But for those who call themselves emo, the term means something more pure. At its core, emo is all about being upfront with your emotions. Or, as one "expert" defined it, "emo is like being Goth, but much less dark, much more Harry Potter." -- marni\n\n\nhopefully this helps,\nCepriana

It sucks ass. It's a pointless site for emo teenagers to meet stalkers and complain about their useless lives before they kill themselves. What's worse, I have so many friends who have one.

To those who do think it exists, it's short for emotional, and it's brought out a whole mess of bands who say everything sucks. It's clear to fans that the style exists, but who exactly fits in the categories is somewhat hazy.

Emo could perhaps be the worst music assaulted on our senses today. The whole point it seems, is to sound as shitty as the previous band. You have to make sure you take 3 stupid words and put them together in a retarded fashion for your band name (note: try words like "november", "blood", "fashion"), Then have some jackass sing all high-pitched about some girl he likes at school, while the bass player tries his best to mimic Norwegian Death Metal all the while sounding like crap. Yes Emo is the new Butt-Rock and in 10 years time, sad looking 30 year-olds with bad haircuts, will be pumping gas in a My Chemical Romance t-shirt.
