Emo

Emo is a genre of post-hardcore and alternative rock with more melancholy arrangements and more emotionally driven themes. The name of the genre is a shortening of Emocore which itself is a shortening of Emotional Hardcore. The genre is also known for its expansive subculture, which is associated black clothing, long dyed hair, black eyeliner, bangs, and white makeup.
Emo is often mistakenly conflated with Gothic Rock, Pop Punk, Melodic Hardcore, Alternative Metal, and Shoegaze.
