Emo

For your information this was written by a punk and not an emo, there's a difference

Emo or Emotive is a music movement that began in the mid-1980s in Washington DC. The "emo" genre is more of an umbrella of music genres such as post hardcore, pop punk, indie and other styles. The emo genre is often fused with other styles creating genres such as emo pop, emoviolence, and melodic emocore. There is also the emo subgenre of scream which uses a style of "screaming" along with or as the main vocals.

Then of course there's the stereotypical emo, skinny jeans, wears black and is an emotional mess. Wrong, most emos are not like that. They are more or less better in touch with their emotions than that girl on the cheer team. Yes, emos do tend to dress a certain way but every emo is different and will express themselves differently. A British metalcore emo will wear Asking Alexandria tanktops, a post hardcore emo will wear a Sleeping With Sirens sweatshirt, a powerviolence emo will wear a Kuza shirt, everyone is different.

Deal with it.

Not all emos are emotional messes, some are just catholic whores currently enjoying a congress out of wedlock with their black jewish boyfriend who work at a military abortion clinic.

emo

A word that has been given many meanings.
1. A sub culture in the category with punk, goth & scene.
They usually have black choppy hair & wear black, especially skinny jeans, they can wear colour & can have their hair a different colour, they prefer to be alone & listen to music (Genre: punk, metal, emo, ) All of these things are not limited & if an 'emo' says that they are then they are most likely a poser.

2. A genre of music, how I usually describe this is that it has guitar riffs, but instead of the usual edgy rock sound they sound more... soft...

Many people hate emo, many people defend it, many people are posers, many people don't understand,
emo is very mis-understood, & is not just someone who cuts themselves, it's a type of person, with specific unique preferences to the mainstream, someone different, & usually from my experience, people who carry out the emo style were previously depressed but got through it.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH scene
If you call a scene kid emo (or vice versa) you could very well offend them.
Of they could be sceno
Bully: Emo, emo emo, you stupid emo.
