A derogatory label used to describe a population of teens that choose to explore and celebrate the dark side of life. However , after such great bands as My Chemical Romance and Escape The Fate share the same trait, the word has backfired. Lately many teens strive to act of be emo, by forcing themselves to listen to Taking Back Sunday, dressing in black, and acting depressed. Over 90% of emo teenagers are posers.

Get the EMO mug.a way of life that is either often rejected or misinterpreted. those that are emo will never admit to actually being emo because then that would be another form of conforming to a meaningless consumer driven life. emos are driven in a meaningless life but they do not allow themselves to become consumed in materialistic items. they are vampires to society, never will they accepted. nor do they wish to be. they view life as constantly shitting on them and personally i agree. life does always find its little ways of making those humble suffer enernally

Get the emo mug.A white, middle class person that hates life because everyone else does and thinks it's cool to not conform to society, even though they're all conforming to other emos.
#2 Waste of space on society, wasting electricity for their constant myspace sessions and running up hospital bills for when they cut themselves.
#3 Listen to screamo metal such as my chemical romance and bullet for my valentine then quote pointless lyrics for their myspace name for people to realise just how much their life sucks.

Get the emo mug.Originally a music movement in Washington D.C. combining punk with even faster guitar riffs and screaming, with bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace, emo, or "emocore", became popular on the west coast as well. Most emo bands of this time for breaking guitars on stage, screaming out lyrics, and doing anything else that got people's attention. Basically Jimmy Urine, on crack. Emo's second wave was hit up with a softer more melodic sound with more riffs and songs that were all incredibly long. This came to be with bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker (which later become Jets to Brazil), and Texas is the Reason. Emo went mainstream and got more people's attention with more popular bands today. These bands include Dashboard Confessional and Phantom Planet. Nowadays, it is incredibly hard to know what true emo is as most people think that popular bands like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and My Chemical Romance are emo. However, all of these bands have denied such claims. "emo is bullshit, we're the next Radiohead" -Brendon Urie (lead singer for Panic at the Disco). Emo is now often associated with Screamo. However, this is typically untrue. Hawthorne Heights is under much debate and can be seen as somewhat emo. With songs like Niki FM which follow a second wave emo pattern.
Some bands that are NOT emo include:
Senses Fail
Bullet for My Valentine
Aiden
Hopes Die Last
Alexisonfire
Underoath
From First to Last
The Used
The original style of emo was simply whatever you could find at your local thrift store. Combining the style of your grandpa, with that of a nerd.
There are many more but these are just a few bands that many believe to be emo. Sorry to all the 13 year old girls who actually thought they were truly emo.

"Oh my God, I love My Chemical Romance! I'm so emo!"
"Oh really? Because I like Rites of Spring,"
"Who?"

Get the Emo mug.originated from the genre punk, thought nothing like it.
styles would be tight jeans. tight shirts, manly band t's.
some "emo" music can be depressing, but mostly emotional.
A style based on romance.
