Emo

THE REAL DEFENITION

THE MUSIC- emotive hardcore- was an offshoot of hardcore music charegterised by lyrics with deeper darker emotions/ topics. People who enjoyed this genere of music were called Emos

THE LIFESTYLE- Today we have people who call themselves emo- The music created the emo lifestyle- thus emo kids Emos are people who listen to emotive music and embrace a specific style- Usualy envolving- wearing all black/darker colors- side swept hair over 1 eye- Heavy eyeliner- and expresion via music writing songs poetry ect. There are no specific guide lines to emo.

(Emo Myths)

1-All emos cut/ self mutilate?
Not all emos cut- there are always crazies in the mix but not all emos cut themselves- cuting has nothing to do with emo

2-Emos are always sad?
Emos are usualy more sensetive than average and express their emotions in their own way. But emos are not always sad Hapyness is an emotion 2 Emos can smile laugh and have a good time like evrybody else Most are just shy

3-Emos are all just posers seeking atention?
Emo is a steriotype- people runing around showing you their cuts, crying, saying "im so emo" Are posers trying to fit a steriotype to be cool But there are people "Real emos" who live the lifestyle, love the music, and expres their emotions bechause its who they are the way they are these people are not posers- they dont try to be anything other than themselves and are great people/ loyal frends

Real emo-"RE" vs Poser emo-"P"

"P"-*siting in corner sobing* T_T

"RE"-whats wrong? O.o?

"P"-My girlfrend dumped me so im carving her name into my arm... im so emo. T_T

"RE"-Um...Why...? shees just a girl- there are more? its not the end of the world? O_o?

"P"-She was the only one for meeeee!!!! *cries histericly* there is nothing left worth living for!!! I need to cut her name into my soul so when i hang myself later she will see what a horible person she was for breaking up with me.... i will write about her in my suicide notes- and tell all the people i hate how much i hated them! like how my parents made my life miserable by trying to make me happy!!! im so emo. DX

Emo

Somebody, more often than not an attention seeker, who is/acts as if they have depression, suicidal tendencies, social anxiety, and other mental disorders. They tend to wear black and red, and usually wear their hair over one or both of their eyes. Not every emo is an attention seeker, many people just like the style of it. Eyeliner and the g note appear to grab their attention.

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.

"Wow, she really likes Black Veil Brides and My Chemical Romance. She's probably emo."

"That person is so emo they threw their phone when Northern Downpour played by Panic! At The Disco."

"crankthatfrank looks extremely emo."

Emo

Emotive Hardcore is an offshoot from hardcore punk which formed in the late 80s and was played throughout the 90s. The term "emo" was coined to such bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace and other bands with a more melodic hardcore sound and expressive lyrics, although some later bands experimented with a softer indie alternative sound as well. You can also say it was a term to describe the "sound" of the DC area of the time. However, if you ask any of the members, they would highly disapprove of this term and most likely mock it.

Emo is not dying your hair black, piercing your lip, and it's certainly not cutting your wrist, that's just a trend. Emo is a music genre that started in the 90s and ended in the 90s.

Emo bands:
-Rites of Spring
-Embrace
-Fugazi
-Gray Matter
-Cap N' Jazz
-Jawbox
