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 is a style related to a dark subculture however emos aren't Goths nor Scenes which most people confused them with.
The emo wording itself comes from a short–cut for EMOtional meaning emos are a more sensitive version of a dark subculture, aother misconception being that all emos cut themselves which is false, not everyone who considers themselves emo actually self–harm and another person who may hurt themselves don't consider themselves emos.

An emo is iconically known as follows:

* Pale skin.
* Black hair. or a dark shade of brown.
* Iconic makeup with eyeliner.
* Piercings.
* Black clothing with rarely any color. Most emos often wear green, pink and white.
* Iconic converse, leather boots or vans.
* Choppy and spiked in layers haircut.
* Choppy bangs/fringes on one side of their face or completely covering one eye.

Emos are exactly as above however not all whom dresses as such call themselves emo, but it's a to differ Emo from Scenes and Goths, one being Goths wear maibly black with little to no color, and opposite- Scenes wear more color.
" I'd like to be emo but I don't really have the time to tease my hair all day. "

Emo

Emo is a very misused term, but very accurate when describing a group of teenagers, young adults, or adults who particularly favor a certain genre of music, a style, or anything else seen to a normal (used very loosely) person as dark and goth.
