Emo is ONLY an insult given by Punks, directed towards the avid fans of Emotive Hardcore Punk & the genre itself. Emotive Hardcore Punk started in the mid/early 80's; with Hardcore Punk bands that added more emotional lyrics to their songs. Since they did this, they were no longer considered Hardcore Punk.
Emotive is essentially watered down Hardcore Punk. That being said; Emotive is still Punk. It's still a sub-genre of Hardcore Punk. They still follow the same DIY ethics as Punks, & still have the same mindset.
The most noted bands to take this form of Hardcore Punk in a new direction was; Embrace & Rites Of Spring. Ian MacKaye the lead singer of Embrace; famous for the Hardcore Punk band Minor Threat, the creation of the subculture Straight Edge, & Dischord Records. Guy Picciotto the lead singer of Rites Of Spring; famous for the Emotive band Fugazi & creator of Emotive itself. (Arguably) Started the genre in the mid '80's.
Emotive in the 80's resembled it's parent genre. In the '90's it took a different feel.
Cap'n Jazz & a few other bands took a more Indie feel to their music. Cap'n Jazz with their only album Shmap'n Shmazz; took Emotive from a from a deeply underground Punk sub-genre, to a more widely accepted subset of indie rock. Which is why Emo is widely known, & respected in the Indie subculture.
Skramz (screamo), a sub-genre of Emotive; was Emotive with a more chaotic playing style. The name of the genre is a misnomer. Though the genre often had screaming vocals, it wasn't the focus of the genre. Skramz was just a way of playing more chaotic music, as most Punk was. Skramz started in the early '90's & lives to this day.
Emotive, along with Skramz, were underground genres. With underground labels. They're not widely known, or heard. You won't hear them on the radio, or find them in your local commercialized record store. This is the backbone of all Punk music, & it's sub-genres.
Common misconceptions of Emo; Emo is a style, Emo means Emotional, Emo is depressed, or people who self-mutilate themselves. All these are false! The media has bastardized the genre. In 2003 an article called The Dashboard Confessional Emo. Since this happened, other alike bands have been given the same assumption. You're practically pawns of the media for believing them. It is now widely believed that this style, which is actually FashionXcore a fashion stole from Visual Kei; closely related to J-Rock, which has been played upon by corporations like Hot Topic. They only plan on making money, & don't care what they ruin, or put in it's place.
I've heard recently that Emo died in the '90's. This is also false. Fugazi, a monumental Emotive band that both Ian MacKaye, & Guy Picciotto were both in; were touring & creating records till '01, with their 6th LP. Emotive will still live on with Skramz. In no way is Emotive dead. As long as people still listen to the genre, there will be Emo.
You're not emo unless you either listen to Emotive Hardcore Punk, or you're in an Emotive band. Simple!
I will leave this with some Emotive, Skramz, & some Indie/emo bands: Evergreen, I Hate Myself, Joan Of Arc, Joshua Fit For Battle, Mass Movement Of The Moth, Violent Breakfast, Suis La Lune, Circle Takes The Square, Saetia, Raein, Get Fucked, American Football, Jeromes Dream, Yaphet Kotto, Neil Perry, Amber Inn, Funeral Diner, Harriet The Spy, Cowboys Are Indians, City Of Caterpillar, etc etc...
A: Ready for that emo concert tonight?
B: Hell yeah man, it's going to be great.

Emo is just another stupid stereotype. Emo does not mean you listen to MCR and Fall Out Boy all the time. Emo does not mean you cut yourself. Emo is just another label.
Apparently, it has become cool to be uncool. So many people out there have labeled themselves emo, even though so many others call emos "fags". The vast majority of people that label themselves are just poseurs.
Both boys and girls that are eventually going to be labeled emo usually have:
-tight jeans
-hair that covers at least one eye
-a playlist containing either bands that others have labeled emo, or bands that few have ever heard of
-tight tee shirts, probably a band shirt
-eyeliner
-Converse or Vans
In my world, these kinds of things are perfectly normal, even the tight jeans and eyeliner on guys. But some people choose to label these people emo.
Emo does not actually mean anything. Emo is actually just another stupid label given to people that don't fit someone else's version of normal.
OK, rant over.
Tight jeans and eyeliner on a guy doesn't make that guy emo. Labeling that guy emo makes him emo.

Probably the most stupid and soft form of punk. (NOTE that other punk genres kick ass ).
Songs are usually themed with depression, teen angst and suicide. Also emo music has developed its own form of fashion : Scene. Scene or Emo kids always cry around for how about their lives suck and how nobody understands them.
Another also annoying and totally wrong thing about emo is that they think are brutal or hardcore.
1. There is nothing brutal in emo songs. Songs structures are with crappy guitars, almost unnoticable drumming, and singing that really sounds like crying.
2. There is nothing hardcore about emo. HARDCORE is a type of punk, and is fast, agressive and totally kickass. And emo has none of that. The emo songs are depressive and slow.
Emo is not brutal. If you want brutal, go listen to some good death metal.
OMFG ! My life sucks, I'll go cry and slit my skinny wrists !

A person who is tounch with their feelings and inner self.
Most have a finge that covers 1 eye. but so do i and im not an emo.
Someone who is fun loving but enjoys sitting down and talking about the important things.
Most "emos" are intelligent people and dont speek because they do not want to waste their breath on pointless conversations. And spend alot of time writing music or poetry witch is deep and meaningfull.
EMOS ARE NOT SUICIDLE THEY DO NOT SLIT THEIR WRISTS!!!!(not all of them)
An Example is half the musicians in the rock seen.....like
Ian watkins-in the rooftops video
the guys who did the song dirty lil secrets
and the stero-type emo Hortine heights or what ever their called.
