Emo

Emo : Slang for Emotional, An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. It is a prime determinant of the sense of subjective well-being and appears to play a central role in many human activities. As a result of this generality, the subject has been explored in many, if not all of the human sciences and art forms. There is much controversy concerning how emotions are defined and classified. Emo in our era today, cuts wrist, cries, listens to AFI.

Emo

Currently the most defined word on the Urban Dictionary, as well as one of the most misunderstood words of all time in general. In short, it's a music genre starting with Rites of Spring, a post hardcore band from the 80s that wrote more emotionally mature lyrics than the rest of the punk scene at the time. While Rites of Spring had no idea that they were going to start an entire movement at the time they more certainly did.

Currently there are many diverse subgenres (including one that stem from the genres of metal, rock, rap, and techno) of music labeled "emo" and all are acceptable as long as people like listening to them.
