This article is about the style of music.Emo is a style of rock music characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.
As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk rock bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid-1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the style.
Emo broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000s with the platinum-selling success of Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and the emergence of the subgenre "screamo". In recent years the term "emo" has been applied by critics and journalists to a variety of artists, including multiplatinum acts and groups with disparate styles and sounds.
In addition to music, "emo" is often used more generally to signify a particular relationship between fans and artists, and to describe related aspects of fashion, culture, and behavior. (Nope not emotional and crap like you stereotypes like to think)
Do you like that emocore band call "My Chemical Romance" ?
that dumb bitch that tried to touch kadens bike so she got her shit slapped
nobody:
the emo girl: SO WHO WANTS THE FADE FIRST?!
Emos are usually teenagers who listen to bands such as My Chemical Romance (MCR) and Fall Out Boy (FOB). They are usually depressed and love depressing others with their daily bitching about how everything/everyone sucks. Most emos self harm.
You would find that the typical emo wears stripey or skull-patterned shirts with skinnies and converse. To match their horrific taste in clothing, their makeup is usually overdone and very dark.
Both female and male emos have a fringe covering one eye. All emo males are homosexual.

A word used by chavs to attempt to insult me xoxo
Me: *walks past a group of chavs*
Chavs: HA EMO
A subculture consisting of 14-19 year old teens (usually girls) Who constantly whine and complain about everything. Those who dont are very rare. The typical "emo" kid has MySpace, Tumblr, Instagram, and a Facebook and are always whining and obsessing over bands.
Bands they like are Black Veil Brides, Blood On The Dance Floor (Though half of the time they hate this band), Bring Me The Horizon (Sempiternal only), Memphis May Fire, Asking Alexandria, Suicide Silence (mainly only The Black Crown), Saywecanfly, Falling in Reverse, I See Stars, We Came as Romans, etc. Most of these bands they only know the singer and do not care about anything else other than "Omg thes singer ish s0000 hawt!!!" They own band merch, but lack to own the album itself mostly. They also act like they know who Nirvana is, but do not know who Dave Grohl or Krist Novoselic is. They never know anything about music usually.
The typical emo kid wears:
Skinny jeans (tight enough to take 1000 years to get off)
those giant bracelets
a shirt of one of the bands I mentioned above
piercings
painted nails
multi-colored hair (or a really wacky color)
eyeliner
giant boots or Converse All Stars
neclaces
straight hair
a really flashy belt
really long hair
Most of them are really into attention, although there are some who arent. Most of them will cut to get likes on facebook, act desperate for love, whine on their tumblr page all the time, and any other way that you can get attention.
