Originating from the DC Hardcore scene as well as the midwest, emo was a form of hardcore that has now been turned into pussy kids screaming and whining about girls.
Scouted out by Rites of Spring and Embrace, which now have to be resorted to being called hardcore bands due to taboo, the emocore music was filled with angst and frustration expressed with more creativity than the then-dying hardcore movement. Sadly, "emo" kids, bands and fans are now nothing more than a pathetic offshoot of the 90's faux goth movement with gender confusion and resorting to whiney music for their outlets of "sadness".
It's been said the term emo has roots to the NO WAVE scene of NYC.
Some emocore fans carried on to like early "indie" bands like Cap'n Jazz, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker, early Jimmy Eat World, Braid, and Mineral- all ranging in musical style and subject matter. Now days the only thing close to emo is skramz and the "emo powerviolence" likings of the United Nations (band/supergroup). Originally, emo (emocore, emotional hardcore) was very anti-fashion, as opposed to the bastardized verzion of the 2000s decade. Any hardcore listener circa 1980s who was into bands like Embrace would have kicked all of your pansy asses for calling them emo then, so why do you think they'd like being called what you've fucking turned it into now. i've got a better term for you: SHIT
CAUTION, IN CLICKING THE EMOCORE LINK, YOU WILL FIND A DIPSHIT WHO (the first definition) LISTED A BUNCH OF THE 'EMO' BANDS I AM REFERRING TO AS EMOCORE BANDS, WHO ARE IN FACT JUST THE OPPOSITE; PUSSY BANDS OR HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EMO!

Fags who were makeup. Its so gay that the emo guys wear just as much make up as the girls. They are upper middle class white kids who's life are good and they get bored so they make up problems. Problems that everyone in the whole world endure.
Emo:"my girlfriend dumped me im gonna cut my wrists"*boo hoo*
Normal person:"suck it up pussy"

Emo is a terrible chain reaction that infects people all around the world. It starts of with someone in a mid-high class suburban society that is bored, and gets little attention. They figure; "If I become different, people will notice me." So, they start exaggerating their emotions, mostly sadness, which seems to grip most people. Eventually, they will start showing all of the symptoms of an emo. In most cases, they will by a black book, in which they draw sad pictures and write sad poetry in. Then, they will comb their hair as straight as possible, in order to achieve minimum eye contact. And finally, they will start wearing black clothing (preferably with stripes or with band pins), pierce random spots on their face and (in severe cases) start cutting their wrists.
Eventually, other people notice, and some join this crowd. Almost all the people that become emo, never change. No one knows what happens to them after college either. They somehow disapear in their own imaginary sadness. *sniff*
I am an emo, someone help me... I feel like I am in a pit of never ending sadness and no one cares. PLEASE! Someone notice me... *cries*

someone you thinks they have issues and blames their parents. they believe in dark things and wear very goth things and are like goths to the power of 100. //suicidal emos (usually the "Real emos" tend to cut themselves out of stress hoping to find a certain relief. // Some people refer to some emos as fags, as they wear, short jet black hair, tight jeans, tall and skinny, hair over either the right or left eye at either a straigh and or diagonal style, usually wear vans/chucks and wear eyeliner, have piercings on their body and wear band shirts. Almost like "Punks"
