I don't hate emo people. I actually like their style and their music.

Most people in this question has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. I'm not going to go into too much more detail, but emo does not mean emotional. Emo is not Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Hawthorne Heights, Dashboard Confessional, etc. They are pop bands nothing more. You don't listen to emo, and I'm willing to bet that you never have. Emo is style of hardcore music that is short for emotive hardcore. It originated in Washington D.C. It is widely regarded that the bands Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, and few others started it in the mid 80's. Rites of Spring being one of the best and most well known. They took their music in a more personal direction with a far greater sense of experimentation. Emo bands aren't on major record labels either. Emo is anti-corporate. It's what defined the bands, and it's what still defines those bands today. You will never find an emo band on Vagrant, Geffen, Drive-Thru, etc. Those bands aren't emo, and never will be.\n\nIf you want real emo check out:\n\nYaphet Kotto\nPolicy Of Three\nPortraits Of Past\nHeroin\nAntioch Arrow\nGlass And Ashes\nPlanes Mistaken For Stars\nOrdination Of Aaron\nCurrent\nSaetia\nHot Cross\nCircle Takes The Square\nA Day In Black And White\nFour Hundred Years\nSinaloa\nThey And The Children\nHow To Beat A Dead Horse\nAmpere\nAppleseed Cast\nRites of Spring\netc.\n\nIf you actually take the time to listen to these bands, you will see that it is the vocals and music that makes a band emo, not lyrics. And band such as Fall Out Boy, Dashboard Confessional, and Hawthorne Heights, do not have those musical and vocal characteristics.\n\nNow that we have what emo actually is out of the way, I would like to give my opinion on this matter. Yes, people who wear mega tight shirts plastered with horrible bands, wear mega tight jeans, thick rimmed glasses, and have hideous or unnatural hair colors or styles look like idiots and they "sucks!?"\n\nAs for the idiots saying "zOMG don't stereo type me, it's wrong!!!111," well if you don't want to be stereotyped as a fucking moron, the don't dress like a fucking moron. I'm talking to you daveyluverx3AFI.

Yeah, they do. But when they act like this (see my Sources) thats when the mocking begins.\nThat, and the majority of the "emo" crowd has no right to call themselves that. This majority is comprised of angsty teens that go to good schools and live in the suburbs. They just decide to see everything in a bad light, and crumble down when even the slightest problem happens. They then proceed to write horrible poems about it, how their life is all bad, when they have no idea how good they have it.

They are a really popular emo band, emo is like a subdivision of indie rock, if you didn't know.\nThey're awesome, btw

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...

HAHAH lol actually emo comes from the term emotional, but it is actually more than that. Emo is the term used for the people who put in their IM names that they will kill themselves, and put pictures in their sites of them cutting themselves and taht sort of thing. Emo people who arent out for attention usually get picked on anyway and its kinda sad. But emo is just attention looking people who do it in the way that they say they are cutting themselves or going to commit suicide.

Because you are a TRUE lover of music you can appreciate all types.  People that hate are people that don't understand.  They are so narrow minded and one sided that it's actually sad for them that they can never broaden their horizons and be a true lover of music for a true appreciation of the arts.

I hate emo too, you really have a good sense of humor!  Anyway, one of my favorite rock songs has probably got to be between "Red Hot Moon" by Rancid or "Gone With My Wind" by The Dead Kennedys.

i have no clue but i asked a question similar to this one a while back i think that that whole sterotype is just so nasty and disgusting and all these kids want is attention so if pple dont give that to them they'll stop, but we live in a society full of those kinda pple and its nasty and disgusting, thye also listen to the worst music ever and thats what is on the radio half of the time even though the music is completely pointless and stupid it is sending out horribly messages to kids to do stupid thing, its so annoying to like in the middle of the emo songs they will just be like random sccream and grunts its gross and i can't believe any person in the right mind would sign anyone singing that shit (but i guess those people weren't in their right mind obviuously) but yeah this can go on for days so im just gonna stop here\n\nthere\nis\nno\npoint\nto\nemo\nits\ncomplete\ntrash\nand\nthe \nworst\nsterotype\nor\ntrend \never
