1. a genre of music. Originally was short for emotional hardcore. Since the arrival of Sunny Day Real Estate, it became less punk and more alternative.
2. a fan of emo music
Emo is NOT cutting yourself
Emo is NOT goth
Emo is NOT metal
Emo is NOT punk, it's a DERIVATIVE, otherwise MCR's debut was punk since it sounded a lot like Rites of Spring
Emo was reinvented by Sunny day real estate, and had then an alternative rock/indie sound. Jimmy eat world had a pop punk sound. Dashboard Confessional had an indie sound. American football had an indie sound. Also, if emo must sound punk, then why is Sunny day real estate called emo?
Emo is NOT dead
If emo is Jimmy eat world and the get-up kids, then how is emo supposed to be ultra obscure and have only no more than 99 fans?
Emo is NOT jeans and a hair fringe
Emo is NOT all-black clothes, big black "shock-value" makeup worn by like Marilyn Manson or Alice Cooper
Emo is NOT depressive
Emo changed and was reinvented
Emo evolved into other music
Emo is simply alternative/punk influenced music with emotional lyrics.
Emo is NOT scene. (Scene is Breathe Carolina and Dot Dot Curve)
Emo is NOT self-harm and suicide.
Emo is short for emotional hardcore. Despite it now is shortened for emotional. But stick to referring to music and fans.
Emo is like Sunny day real estate, thursday, get up kids, texas is the reason and matchbook romance.
