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.

emocore

First look up "emo". Emocore is the hardest, most outrageous, and sometimes most annoying perversion of an otherwise quality subsect of punk rock. It should be noted that emocore may result from a poser trying too hard to be emo.
If anyone knows who "Strong Sad" is, he is a good example of such behavior.

That band was so emocore, they were almost too emo.
