Emo is a subgenre of hardcore punk music. Since its inception, emo has come to describe several independent variations, linked loosely but with common ancestry. As such, use of the term (and which musicians should be so classified) has been the subject of much debate.\n\nIn its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe the music of the mid-1980s DC scene and its associated bands. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the DC scene and some of the regional scenes that spawned from it. The term emo was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and literally emotional during performances. The most recognizable names of the period included Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party and slightly later, Moss Icon. The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s.

Hey,I've heard that song,it's from Adam & Andrew. "I must be Emo". Yup,I saw them on myspace. Anyway....\nEmo started out as music. Now,it has it's own type of clothing. Tight pants,and the emo hair. Goths wear black. People who listen to rap wear baggy clothes. They all have their different styles. Everyone thinks their cool,everyone wants to be cool.They don't necessarily have to be form a certain group such as emo.

i hate emo posers.  i saw a group of emo kids at the mall the other day.  i laughed my ass off at them.  my first impression leads me to believe that they are the worst of all the poser groups that use the ideas of individualism and social estrangement as a staple of their uniformity.  I can't stand that.  why do the guys were girls clothing?  seriously, how did that ever start?

emo is when you're totally heartbroken and sometimes you wear eyeliner (boy or girl) and you usually have a emo girlfriend/boyfriend.  you love to wear lots of black and you have skin tight black pants.  when you're emo you dont care about anybody and you almost hate the world. you love to listen to emo music that totally relates to you. you quote emo music lines. basically, you're sad all the time...

Originally a type of music, "emo" is short for emotive. In popular culture it is used to refer to a sub-culture of the Goths, i.e. those who adopt the Goth look because they are so depressed and emotional rather than angry and rebellious. Emo kids are into self-injury to express their feeling of rejection.\n\nSee also, teenage angst.

Emotional Rock.\n"White middle-class kids whining" is the usual definition given.\n---\n Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle. \n---\nThat definition was from urbandictionary.com.  Link below.  There are over 700 definitions for emo there.  (They are rather subjective though...)

Err, please don't call that stuff emo.  Emo is a whole other form of music, more closely related to punk, which basically died out in 95.  Think Rites of Spring.\n\nAbout the music you described, I guess everyone has their own tastes.

Emo (an abbreviation of "emotionally-driven Hardcore punk") is a term now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punk's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage. It is also used to describe fans of this genre, most commonly teenagers. (e.g., emo kid). The actual term "emo" originated in the mid-1980s D.C. scene, with the band Rites of Spring, as well as bands such as Fugazi, Moss Icon, and Antioch Arrow. ...

I have no clue why. Emo equals weird!

Well, the line between "emo" and "goth" can be very slim.  That's one of the things that is so awful about labels - they can have different meanings for different people.\n\nWhy would you use either label?  Why not talk with your Mom about the things you worry or care about, and leave the labels behind?\n\nGood luck!

Chill out.  "Emo" is a term way over-used by the generation who's most guilty of it.  Most things people call "emo" though, aren't really, and it's starting to piss me off.\n\nEmo is hyper-emotional.  Poetry is already MEANT to be emotional.  To have an "emo" poem you would have to have it so crammed full of emotional pointless crap that you probably couldn't even really call it a poem.  Just write what you feel, discard the bad and learn from it, improve the good and learn from that as well.

god. some people are so critical of the idea of "emo".\n\nwhat's so horrible of the idea of being in touch with your feelings?\n\nas for your question: try listening to the band Funeral For A Friend. if you like all those genres, their latest cd, Hours, should be a great match for you.
