emo

History: Emo originates from Punk bands in DC with an "emotional moment" and evovled into a full culture.

Emo Music

Old and Original: Dashboard Confessional, Embrace, Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real-Estate

Fashion

Emo fashion consists of tight jeans of blue and gray. Dyed black hair and sometimes with highlights of neon color. Beaten up converse shoes. Lip piercings. Eyeliner. Thick-rimmed glasses.

Truths and False

Myth: Emos are cutters
Truth: Seriously? Wow. Cutting has been around before emo existed. "Preppies" can cut, adults can cut. Cutting is a serious problem as bad as alcholism and drug abuse, but cutting is not emo, and not all emos cut. If you cut, go get help.

Myth: Emos are fags
Truth: Emos now a days are mostly teens, and apart of the teenage years, its a time of discovery, inluding sexuality discovery. But not all emos are bi-curious.

Myth: Emos are bitchy and emotional
Truth: It may be so sometimes, but emo people are usually more introspective and sensitive, some could be angsty and depressed all the time, but its never right to judge a group based on one person's personality.

Modern

Now a days, emo has been attacked several times. The truth is, many kids who are "emo" now a days are just looking for an excuse to be a bitch and asshole. Cutters are often labeled emos, and that is not what emo stands for.

A new breed called scene kids emerged. Emos and scene kids are very different. Emos are introspective, and sensitive, scene kids are myspace and mainstreamers with a lolita element.

Emo Terms and Interest

Converse shoes: Even if its mainstream, its so emo.

Poetry: Teenagers rejoice! Emos often express themselves through music and poetry.

Guitar: An emos best friend. jk

Conclusion

Emo is about being introspective and open to the world of teenage age. Its not about being sad or being a cutter.

The scum of the earth. They Generally like to eat maggots while bathing in their own blood from their scarred wrists.
"By jove! What is that eating maggots while bathing in its own blood?"

OK, first of all... Emo is not Dashboard Confessional or "Death Cab" or Fall Out Boy. Advertisers have for some reason decided to use the term "emo" to describe these bubble-gum punk bands for a reason beyond me. O, if only Wenis had caught on instead....

Anyways

Emo has its roots in the vibrant punk scene of 1980s Washington DC. I'll try to sum this all up as best I can (Im no expert). After the breakup of the hardcore band Minor Threat, the now-legends of the DC scene (Ian MacKaye, Guy Piccioto, etc) decided that the type of music they had been playing had lost its originality and basically worn itself out... So in come the bands Rites of Spring and Embrace. They took the classic DC hardcore sound and added lyrics that conveyed deeper emotions. I'm sure it would sound like noise to most people who hear it for the first time, but I love it. In an interview at the time, Ian MacKaye (Now in Embrace) mentioned that fans had started to use the word "emo" to describe themselves as a group (Alas for cliques and exclusion). Then the term stuck, and was added to similar bands such as Moss Icon, Antioch, and then later Saetia, Current, Indian Summer, and the list goes on. By the early 90s, bands began to take the influences of this "emo" sound and combine it with more melodic pop-punk influences, and now we have Texas Is The Reason, pg. 99, CaPn Jazz, and later the promise ring and jimmy eats world (sort of). The term emo still stuck, even though some people tried to distinguish between the "driving, or melodic emo" of the current time, and the "emocore" of the 80s, most people didnt care. Bands like Jimmy Eat World began to get mainstream recognition in the late 90s, and although they changed their sound substansially, and sounded almost nothing like the Emo of over 10 years ago, the term "emo" was still in use (goddamit, its persistent). Teen People even called emo "the cutest new trend in music" in an article in 1998. Now, this is a HUGE difference from the "Emo" of the early years, which was underground, rough, and raw. But what can you do? And then in the past few years bands have capitalized on Jimmy Eat World type bands new poppy sound, and MTV and all the other "hip" advertisers decided to call them all emo... So here we are with the current "emo trend, which Im sure all of you already know more than enough about.

Emo

Caused by a traumatic event or a series of traumatic events leading upto or during social interaction, causing blood clots in the wrist, suicidal tendancies, loss in fashion sense, need to express femanine side too often, a need to voice there emotions using other mediums such as art, music,poems (Which usually have no structure, and have no meaning or purpose) ,or other methods which include dropping into subtle conversation, and by conversing, they can drop hints of their emotional experiances. The blood clotting, explains why emo's find the need to extract of blood from around the wrist area, and find it quite natural to do this themselves, using their moms best kitchenware, *hint. dont eat with a knife at an emo's house, unless it has been steralised*
An example of subtle hint dropping is:

Guy number 1: "Hey John, you will never guess what, my goldfish died to day"
John: "O Thats to bad, kinda like how my will to live died last month...." *awkward silence*
Guy Number 1: "damn your so EMO!"
