emotive

Emotives are symbols, phrases, or images used to emotionally motivate people. They can be negative or positive, but it depends on what motivation or response is desired from the viewer or listener. They can cause emotional pain or happiness and can be used to manipulate others into action or make them experience despair.

emotive hardcore 

A common misconception is that emotive hardcore or 'emo' refers to metalcore or screamo bands such as Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, etc. However, this is not the case. Emotive hardcore as a music genre actually refers to bands such as I Hate Myself, Braid, Sunny Day Real Estate, among others. There is no 'mainstream' emo band, and it is a genre generally not listened to by those who find the 'emo' subculture stereotype of black eyeliner, wrist-cutting, etc.

Joe: I love emotive hardcore! What's your favorite band?
Kyle: Oh you know, Black Veil Brides, Bring Me The--
Joe: NO.
