Emo

Emo is a subculture that enveloped around a musical style known as Emo that is derivative off both the 80's punk and teen angst mentality of the Punk Rock/Metal musical scene and the 90's Gothic Rock/Hardcore, and is more ever some thing leached on to by the 21st century teenagers who, seeking to ether be cool or vent frustrations and express their own pseudo-Originality developed what you see as Emo, musically much like the other two, culturally taking the rebel Teen Angst from Punk and the hatred for self and others from the Goth underground, it is now what you see today, a mess of culturally cliché stereotypes in a deprived time in cultural modern history.
Emotionally Angst Teen is told NO, Teen, because his mother wouldn't attentional to her son's emotional problems or father doesn't see why his son won't play sport like kids of his age, Becomes Depressed and create emotional poetry, Emo shares poetry, Others feel sorry, and thus promote this.

This catches on, and now you have a subculture.
