emotive hardcore 

A common misconception is that emotive hardcore or 'emo' refers to metalcore or screamo bands such as Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, etc. However, this is not the case. Emotive hardcore as a music genre actually refers to bands such as I Hate Myself, Braid, Sunny Day Real Estate, among others. There is no 'mainstream' emo band, and it is a genre generally not listened to by those who find the 'emo' subculture stereotype of black eyeliner, wrist-cutting, etc.

Joe: I love emotive hardcore! What's your favorite band?
Kyle: Oh you know, Black Veil Brides, Bring Me The--
Joe: NO.

Emotive hardcore 

This is what emo really stands for, it is short for emotive hardcore. A subgenre of hardcore Punk that formed in Washington in 1985, which also has it's roots in indie rock. In 1984 a band called Minor Threats idea, a Minor Threat fan called Guy Picciotto formed a band called Rites of Spring. This turned out to be the first emo band ever, even though they decline the subgenre. Later on other bands like Embrace and Moss Icon joined in and formed a music subgenre called emotive hardcore.

Later on a second wave of emo hit Washington. Bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas Is The Reason were included. They also decline that they're emo.

Some other real emo bands are

- Indian Summer
- Gray Matter
- I Hate Myself
- The Pine
- Braid

Emo 1: Did you go to Sunny Day Real Estate's concert last night?

Emo 2: Yeah, they were amazing. They are a perfect example of a real second wave emotive hardcore band.

Emotive Hardcore 

Emotive hardcore, or emo for short, is a music genre rooted from punk in the D.C. scene in the mid to late 80s. Most people would consider it and insult for an individual who likes to wear horn rimmed glasses, argyle sweaters and converse, but emo is mainly about the music. Bands like Rites of Spring and Moss Icon were two of the main bands in this scene. There is also Midwest Emo, Indie Emo pop rock, Twinkle Emo, and The emo revival. Skramz is also part of the emo music genre. Skramz is the real screamo, not what most people think what is screamo, which is actually metalcore, post-hardcore, and deathcore. Most of the fashion of real emos came along in the 1990s; They wore horn rimmed glasses, or cat eye glasses, had a gas station jacket, messenger bags, argyle sweaters, dyed their hair black, striped sweaters, favorite band shirts, studded belts, cardigans, converse, mary janes, argyle socks, peacoats. Fashion was always a secondary to the music, because it is always about supporting your favorite bands. Examples of emotive hardcore: Rites of Spring and Moss Icon. Examples of Midwest Emo: Cap N Jazz, Jawbreaker. Examples of Indie Emo pop rock: Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is the Reason, The Get Up Kids. Examples of Skramz: Orchid, Page ninetynine, Majority Rule, City of Caterpillar. Examples of twinkle emo: Algernon Cadwallader. Examples of Emo revival: Modern Baseball, American Football, Snowing.

Emo is actually short for Emotive Hardcore, and it is actually a music genre, not a subculture.
