True emo

A true emo is a girl or guy who feels things times a hundred than most others. They are labeled as sensitive most of the time. They feel everything deeply and a true emo is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. They wear black most of the time, may have a piercing or two l, they are vocal about their feelings and may talk about their feelings publicly. They love music , take pride in their appearance, and a true emo is usually somebody who is pissed off by their own demons, they usually have an above average desire for friendship, though may be too shy so they stay by themselves. True emos are usually very feminine whether it's a girl or guy.

emo

A genre of rock music that emerged in the 1990s and got popular in the underground music community through bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Cap'n Jazz and Mineral among others. The genre is characterized by introspective, confessional lyrics, emotive vocals and indie rock-esque instrumentation.

With the beginning of the 21st century, emo started to die out as people were mislabeling pop-punk bands such as My Chemical Romance and Dashboard Confessional as emo. However, the genre has seen a sort of revival in recent years, with bands like The Hotelier, Sorority Noise and Foxing getting more popular in indie circles.

The word is also used to describe a certain lifestyle, however this is not related to actual emo music.
