Emotive Hardcore

Emotive hardcore, or emo for short, is a music genre rooted from punk in the D.C. scene in the mid to late 80s. Most people would consider it and insult for an individual who likes to wear horn rimmed glasses, argyle sweaters and converse, but emo is mainly about the music. Bands like Rites of Spring and Moss Icon were two of the main bands in this scene. There is also Midwest Emo, Indie Emo pop rock, Twinkle Emo, and The emo revival. Skramz is also part of the emo music genre. Skramz is the real screamo, not what most people think what is screamo, which is actually metalcore, post-hardcore, and deathcore. Most of the fashion of real emos came along in the 1990s; They wore horn rimmed glasses, or cat eye glasses, had a gas station jacket, messenger bags, argyle sweaters, dyed their hair black, striped sweaters, favorite band shirts, studded belts, cardigans, converse, mary janes, argyle socks, peacoats. Fashion was always a secondary to the music, because it is always about supporting your favorite bands. Examples of emotive hardcore: Rites of Spring and Moss Icon. Examples of Midwest Emo: Cap N Jazz, Jawbreaker. Examples of Indie Emo pop rock: Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is the Reason, The Get Up Kids. Examples of Skramz: Orchid, Page ninetynine, Majority Rule, City of Caterpillar. Examples of twinkle emo: Algernon Cadwallader. Examples of Emo revival: Modern Baseball, American Football, Snowing.

Emo is actually short for Emotive Hardcore, and it is actually a music genre, not a subculture.
