'emo'

describes a kind of music that has miraculously branched into a subculture of people. an 'emo' kid has a lot of product in their hair, bracelets, jeans that are far too tight, a studded belt and an xs t-shirt featuring a band with a lot of eyeliner. they cut themselves and write bad lyrics with the blood. these people are so horrible, they get broken up with on a daily basis. fortunately this fuels their entire paradigm.

an 'emo' kid has long bangs.
this is to shield them from a cruel judgmental world that will never understand.

Emo

Emo is ONLY an insult given by Punks directed towards the avid fans of Emotive Hardcore Punk & the genre itself. Emotive started in the mid/early 80's in the D.C. Hardcore scene. Emotive is essentially watered down Hardcore Punk. This type of music wasn't accepted in the scene, thus the term Emo was born.

2 of the most noted bands to take this form of Punk in a new direction, was Rites Of Spring & Embrace. Guy Picciotto, the lead singer of Rites Of Spring; most famous for his work in Fugazi, paved the way for what we now know as Emotive Hardcore Punk. Ian MacKaye, most famous for his Hardcore Punk band Minor Threat & the creation of Straight Edge; was also was a defining band.

Emotive in the '80's resembled it's parent genre, with more emotionally charged lyrics & a new tone. But in the '90's Emotive took a totally different feel.

Emotive in the '90's took a more Indie feel to their music. More commonly known as Post-Emo, it was bands like Cap'n Jazz, Jets To Brazil, Joan Of Arc, Sunny Day Real Estate, etc etc... Cap'n Jazz helped transform emo from a deeply underground Punk sub-genre, into a more widely accepted subset of Indie rock.

Emotive in the '90's also gave birth to what we now know as Screamo (Skramz). Screamo (Skramz) is somewhat of a misnomer. Though the genre often had screaming vocals, it wasn't the focus of the genre. Skramz is a more chaotic way of playing it's parent genre.

Rites Of Spring is Emo.
I Hate Myself is Emo.

Dashboard Confessional is NOT Emo.
My Chemical Romance is NOT Emo.

After School Knife fight is Skramz.
Toru Okada is Skramz.
Avenged Sevenfold is NOT Skramz.
Bullet For My Valentine is NOT Skramz.

Emo

Someone who normally wears a lot of black, most times has heavy black eyeliner, and has a lot of misconceptions about them. The emos that most people think of are depressed people who keep to themselves and sit in their rooms all alone listening to MCR and cutting themselves. This is not true for all emo people. Many are tons of fun, smile a lot, and are extremely hyper one minute, and sad the next (sometimes, the second part is just cut out completely). Many people who are emo are actually ADD or ADHD.

Woah, she seems totally emo.
Yeah, but she's still fun.
O_o?
She's like, ADD or something.

Emo

Emoism a sexually transmitted disease commonly found in angsty teens and preteens. This disease is characterized by poor taste in clothing, too tight pants, too small shirts, retarded scarves, and hair that needs to cover at least half the face. This disease is usually spread in suburbia but can also be found elsewhere. This disease is usually spread during the emo mating ritual(See Emo def #3).
Unfortunately this STD cannot be stopped by any known STD blocker (condom, abstinence, etc). Care should also be taken when their music is playing due to the high risk of brain damage and/or complete stupidity.
