emocore 

Has little or nothing to do with the word "hardcore". The original emo genre burned out in the late 80's as most bands only released their music on 7" vinyl and never really became big. However, emocore takes the conventions of the original emo genre and incorporates it into a more modernised punk style of music - and this is the name given to most emo-esque music today.
