Originally short for emotive hardcore, a subgenre of hardcore punk and post hardcore catagorized by more personal, emotional, and confessional lyrics. It is not a shitty subculture of edgy teenagers who are desperately trying to be unique and different, those are just scene kids. No, chances are if you see it on a shirt at Hot Topic, it is not an emo band (Or a screamo band for that matter).
Some examples of emotive hardcore bands are:
Embrace,
Rites of Spring,
Moss Icon,
Indian Summer,
Dag Nasty
Emo more commonly also refers to another genre known as midwest emo, indie emo, or simply just emo. This type of emo is more closely related to indie rock (which is also probably different than what youre thinking).
Examples of indie emo bands
are:
Sunny Day Real Estate,
Cap'n Jazz,
Joan of Arc,
Jimmy Eat World (early),
Mineral
Both of these types of emo often include shouted, screamed, or occasionally sloppy vocals, respectively.
Respectable emo fan: "Moss Icon is a really good and influencial early emo band."
Scene kid: "i luv emo!!!!1 are they like My Chemical Romance??? RAWR XDDD"
Respectable emo fan: "God has abandoned us."
EDGY idiots begging for attention even though they claim not to want attention. THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU WEARING EYELINER AND SHITTY T-SHIRTS! They try to be EGGII and cool by constantly talking death and murder even though the chance to murder would make them weep. Please stop trying to be edgy and accept if you were going to die you would WEEP.
"I'm Emo pay attention to me please I like MCR and cutting myself."
"did you hear about them? apparently they're emo" "yeah I know they're a fag"
Originally emo was just a slightly more emotional acoustic music (death cab for cutie).
It's now more like goths trying to be cute. With horid tutu's and choppy bangs.
Supposedly ironic with their morbid "cute" things.
It's Bad whiney music with beautiful boys and emotional/angry choruses. The girls all think they're bi, the boys wished they were half into girls.
