Emo was a genre of music that developed out of the failing straight edge movement, especially in the DC area when bands such as Minor Threat and Bad Brains began to lose popularity.
These bands decided to take the energy of punk rock but without the anger, creating emo. Bands include: rites of spring, indian summer, some fugazi, ect. During emos height (84-87), it was generally very emotional, fast, and powerful music. Eventually, it became influenced by pop (much like punk) and is what it is today. It has also become a term to describe someone who is depressed and overly emotional, generally for attention.

I was wondering how Rites of Spring and My Chemical Romance are both labeled Emo and are completely different.

Get the emomug. a typical lifestye of outcast teenagers from 17+ who are usually over emotional and tend to let outside forces bother them way more than nessecery... expressive individuals who tend to wear clothing out of the norm and listen to non-mainstream music sometimes containing screamo-lyrics and heavy use of guitar....note:not all emo people cut themselves or are suicidal

Get the emomug. The thing you get called by at school because you are either shy, dark, wear dark clothes, You are weird, or something else. Or they just call you fucking depressed, or gay, or the weird kid, or they don’t even realize you are there.
There is honestly no point to it.
Even if you are emo, why the fuck do they care?
It doesn’t even fucking bother me, like “Oh no, I’m so offended that you are calling me emo.” Like no bitch, nothing is even wrong with being emo, alt, punk, goth, etc.

Kids on the bus: “Your a emo girl”
Me: “okay??”
Me: “you’re fucking unfunny. And I am not offended. And why the fuck do you care? Really that bored?”
Kids: “well you’re gay!”
Me: “Okay? Did you just find that out? Sweetheart you’re just stating the obvious, basically everyone knows.”
Kids: “…”
Me: “ :) “

Get the Emo girlmug. A emo is a teenager, usually like 14 to 16 years old who is really emotional, listens to really crazy metal/rock music, likes dark, strange and & emotional and expressive things & dresses in black and has a hard time smiling.
There usually lonely and depressed (but not always) and keep a journal and write angsty poems that they plan on making into songs and they might be in a band.
They probably have weird niche taste, like the video game Undertale (& Deltarune to) and listen to My Chemical Romance a lot aggressively.
A accurate depiction of emos is Octavia in the webseries Helluva Boss. (Who is loved by many irl emos for being relatable)

Kid 1: "Hey who's that quite guy with the headphones on all the time blasting the Black Parade?"
Kid 2: "Oh that's just Kurt, he's emo."
Finally a definition of emo by a guy who actually WAS one!
