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

emo is not only a way of dressing its a way of living...
emo=emotional,and not afraid of expressing these emotions.
people who hate emos are just bitter and have no real reason for hating us at all.
there are so many stereotypes about emos that arent even true!

not all emos have an emo fringe!
not all emos are bisexual or gay!
not all emos slit their wrists!

people who stereotype are ignorant and they usualy have never even met any emos.

some things me and other emos i know wear:
*drainpipe jeans
*converses
*polka-dots
*stripes
*checks
*pumps
*band tshirts and hoodys
*studded belt

emos usually listen to 'emo/screamo' bands like lost prophets and from first to last.
people who say they hate emo music usually havent even heard any!
they just judge it because its 'emo' and they think everything 'emo' is crap.

i know what i'm talking about because i am emo and i have spoken to loads of people who say they hate emo and when i ask them if they know any emos the usual answer is 'no' and they have usually never even listened to any emo music at all they just decided to hate emos for no reason, just to be stupid, people who hate emos are usually preps/chavs/jocks/scallys and norms even some metalheads.

emo haters should get a life
and my opinion is that emo rules!!

emohater:eww i hate emos
me:why
emohater:coz you slit your wrists and pretend u hav problems and u listen to shit music
me:hav u ever even met an emo??
emohater:no but ive heard about u people
me:ok hav u ever listened to any emo music
emohater:no, why wud i? its all shit!
me:ur just ignorant
emohater:ur just a dumb emo

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.

My life sucks, I want to cry. I am a whiney emo bitch

emo

People who cut themselfs because they hate their life or are sad. Being emo is a serious medical issue and shouldn't be joked about because people actually do cut themself when they're in a stage of depression. If you see cuts on someones wrists try to help them and if you're emo please seek attion because people love you.

Being emo makes you think a knife can relieve pain.
