Get the emo it upmug. This article is about the style of music.Emo is a style of rock music characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.
As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk rock bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid-1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the style.
Emo broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000s with the platinum-selling success of Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and the emergence of the subgenre "screamo". In recent years the term "emo" has been applied by critics and journalists to a variety of artists, including multiplatinum acts and groups with disparate styles and sounds.
In addition to music, "emo" is often used more generally to signify a particular relationship between fans and artists, and to describe related aspects of fashion, culture, and behavior. (Nope not emotional and crap like you stereotypes like to think)

Get the emo joemug. Emo Hair - There is a long story behing emo hair. I will tell it if u dont mind. Some random suicidal kid was to chicken shit to kill himself. So he was always telling the people near him how he felt. He let his hair grow long then one day decided to go get it cut. He sat down in the barbers chair and started telling his storys. The barbor after the first cut got tired of his crapie stoies so he gouged out his eyes with the sizors. The barbor continued to cut the boys hair blind. And that is how emo hair came about. :P

Get the e-emomug. I'm getting a little tired of all those old ass definitions talking about shitty music genres and scarves because in 2014 "emo music" has nothing to do with fucking acoustic guitars. And I'm sure in a little while my definiton will be outdated too. So for 2014 here is the definition.
1) emo is short for emotional
2) the new music genre is called screamo and has a lot of electric guitar and is closely related to metal. So please shut the fuck up about whining and acoustic guitars ;)
2) most people who are emo are depressed due to a chemical imbalance in their brains. Depression is not a choice. Some take meds to balance these chemicals.
3) not all emos self harm or have an e.d. The emos that do self harm do it to ease pain. It's like being an alchoholic. It's an addiction. E.d.s are mental disorders having to do with being skinny.
4)for the last fucking time people EMO IS NOT A LOOK. Can you seriously look emotional by the type of shirt you wear (the answer is no). Somebody could listen to screamo or self harm or be depressed and shop at American eagle.
5) 80% of emos aren't doing this for fucking attention. As I said earlier if they dress normal, smile, and hide their scars how the fuck would that be asking for attention. And the other 20% that are waiting for some hot guy to kiss your scars and sweep you off your feet and to bask in the attention of others... STOP. you're giving everyone else a bad rep. It's not cute.
5) goth is not emo.

Bestfriend #1: haha wow look at that fucking emo fag in their black outfit. I bet they slit their pathetic little wrists
Bestfriend #2: *pulls down sleeves just a little farther and laughs quietly* haha yeah...
Bestfriend #2: *goes home that night and kills themselves because they now feel like their best friend was the last person who cared and now he (or she) cannot open up to anyone.*
Bestfriend #1: *attends the funeral of their long-time best friend. Sees their parents and everyone crying. Knows instead of hiding they could have saved them*
That could be your best friend
How supportive are you...?
