EMO

Most people misunderstand the term "EMO".
It does not mean a teenager who thinks life is tragic and cuts him/herself for attention while listening to lame "deep" and "emotional" music.

Emo

A word whose definition has been so butchered by so many people that most people just make up their own definition of the stereotype, which is usually complete bullshit. If ANYONE wants to know the REAL, ORIGINAL definition of the word, here it is (otherwise, fuck off): a genre of music which branched off of 80's punk music to create a soft, unique form of rock. NOT to be confused with punk, metal, screamo, or alternative rock. NOT to be confused with angsty teens, boys who wear tight pants, people who are depressed, cutters, goths, or a combination of all six. I know lots of people will disagree, but I KNOW I'm right.XD (Yes, I already know that I'm a stuck-up bitch who thinks she's always right, so don't even bother telling me something I already know)
Person #1: "I've been listening to some Moss Icon lately."
Person #2: "Wow, that's pretty emo, isn't it?"
Person #1 "Damn straight."

emo

A sub-genre of rock music closely related to punk.
Other sub-genre's similar or easily mistanken to be emo could be Post-Hardcore or Pop-Punk.

Emo (or "Emo Kids") also refers to people who listen to emo, (usually teenagers). The common stereotype with emo's are that they are deppressed, bisexual, fake, self loathing, dark, sensitive, and extremely associated with self harm. This is not always the case. Yes, some emo's are deppressed, but not all of them. Some are bisexual, others arent. etc, etc, etc... Those stereotypes can apply to other sub cultures, not just emo.

There is a large number of emo kids that arent like that. There are quite a lot of happy, confident emo's.
Emo bands: My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional.

emo is a genre of music.
NOT BISEXUAL BOYS/GIRLS RUNNING AROUND IN TIGHT PANTS LISTENING TO hawthorne heights srsly guys come on.

in the late 80s the punk music at the time was derrived into two genres 1. Emotionally Hardcore. 2. Hardcore Punk.

now in the early 90s to the 2000s people are making it seem like emo is a fad.
