premo

Pre-emo. A word used to describe anything that would be emo, if it had been created after the concept existed, but since it was not is therefore neither contrived nor clichéd. Often the word can be used to refer to things which influenced what would later become emo.

Bradley: "Hey, this Smiths song is so emo."
Sam: "No, you silly boy, it's quite clearly premo as it was released in 1986."
Bradley: "Oh yes, my mistake, how I look foolish."
