emo

Emo, contrary to popular belief, is not a style of dress, or a genre of music, although the term is often used to classify those things that are associated with and popular amongst emo people. Emo is an emotion, a feeling. Emo is when you find no hope. Emo is when you feel like there is no one who cares or understands. Emo is the type of emotion many feel when they reach rock bottom

emo

emo is an abbreviation not for the word 'emotional' but 'emotive'. Emotive music is a sub-genre of rock popular among middle class teenagers with emotional difficulties. Normally the vocalist does not in fact sing, he/she whines instead. A lot of emo fans do in fact like other rock sub-genres, however these do not directly address their emotional difficulties. Being an emo fan is a bit like going to an alcoholics anonymous class-you just go to a gig, cry/worry etc, find another person in the same boat, tell them everything will be alright, they tell you everything will work out fine, you get reassured then you stop crying/worrying and the gig ends.
The names of emo bands more often than not say it all.

Me:Hey man have you heard that metallica are headlining download this year? That's fuckin awesome, I'm getting my ticket tonight.

Emo fan: Yeah I heard. I dunno, metallica are a bit too aggressive for me. Whenever I hear them I wonder whether I'll ever be emotionally strong enough to make that sort of music.

Me: Metallica have sold around 100 MILLION albums worldwide. That's more than the whole emo genre. Unlucky man.
