Emo

A genre of music that is slightly hard-core, maybe a small amount of screaming or shouting. Emo is not a type of person that wears dark clothes and dark make-up. Emo is also not a person that self-harms, or whom is depressed.

Emo is short for Emo-core which was a joke made by a band in the 1980's, which was then abbreviated to Emo. A girl killed herself and a writer for the Daily Mail said that the music was influential to her death and she was "Emo".
Correct:
Person 1: I love this song
Person 2: Yeah, it's in the Emo genre, right?

Wrong:
Person 1: Wow, what's with the dark make-up and stuff?
Person 2: She's such an Emo.

Emo

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)

i have seen that most people have a low opinion of emos
which is unfair,how many of those people know any?

i have no opinion of them,so thiswill be fairer,
most of them are kids about 14-19 who are sad,they feel life is kind of cruel (which it can be) and then find something amazing, music

they will listen to it compulsively and the songs will explain how exactly they feel.

i dont believe the music genre "emo" exists
but some types of music make links to different groups of people MCR ARE NOT EMO
THEY ARE ROCKY/PUNKY
alright?

there clothing style is different but i like it
