The term "Emo" is used as counterculture; it is an abreviation of the word "emotional". Emo it's defining not only an attitude, but also a fashion that are coming from emocore (emo music). Emocore is a combination between hardcore and punk music which was very popular in Washington DC in the late 80's. The emo culture continued to develop between '90 and '00, reaching the height of its popularity today.

EMO KIDS
The term for the teenagers who listen emocore is emokids. The society thinks about them as failures; they are not strong enough to hide their emotions, they're sensitive, shy, introverted, and often quiet. Usually, Emo kids like to express their feeling writing poems about their problems with depression, confusion, and anger ;all because the world fails to understand them. Emo poetry uses a combination of any of: a highly emotional tone, stream of consciousness writing, a simple (ABAB) or nonexistent rhyme scheme, references to the flesh, especially the heart, heavy use of dark or depressing adjectives, and concern over the mutability of time, love or both. Themes such as life is pain are common. Altough life is already very hard for them, emo kids have to suffer for even more society prosecution because of their condition. The term 'emo' itself is used nowadays as an insult. Adressed to a person means they are 'overly emotional'. Emocore is compared with pop boy bands of 1990s. Critics cast the music as lacking any artistic merit and that the fashion is just ... a fashion used to drive girls attention. The ones who are emo not because they feel it, but because they like to be trendy are named 'posers'. A big percent of the current emo subculture is formed by posers. Emo subculture is acused that it is celebrating self-harm. As i've said before many fail to understand that those are only fake emos (rawrr you bastards, get away from here); actually i have no rights to judge them even if most of us suffer because of them.

Am mai gasit ceva destul de interesant!Sper sa va placa ;-)

Emo este din ce in ce mai raspandit in Romania...
Emo in afara de a fi un stil de muzica (emocore) este si un stil de viata si o caracterizare a sufletului.Provenind de la "emotional" caracterizeaza ființele foarte de emotive, care se urasc pe sine, se cred mai prejos decat oricare alt om si care isi gasesc refugiul singur sau cu prietenul cel mai bun, de cele mai numeroase ori.
S-a constatat ca multe dintre persoanele Emo sunt bisexuale, asta din cauza anturajului, iar in general prietenii cei mai buni al unui emo este o persoana de sex opus.
Cei mai multi Emo People se rezuma in a asculta EmoCore sau Screamo ca: Fall out Boy, Emo novel, My chemical romance. Three days Grace etc
Anyway Emo nu este doar o persoana "emotionala" ci este si o persoana aproape nesociabila, care se fereste de oameni de frica respingerii lor.Insa sunt persoane care admira acesti emo people dar totusi ei se feresc de lume din cauza comentariilor rautacioase din bucată unor care sunt mai diferiti.
Cu toate ca "emo people" par mai prostuti sau dau impresia ca nu sunt isteti de multe ori dovedesc ca pot fi mult mai educati si mai destepti decat multi oameni.Joaca Sah, jocuri de logica si isi dezvolta memoria chiar daca ei nu isi dau seama de acest lucru si se cred in continuare inferiori altor oameni.Au impresia ca nu sunt deloc intelesi de oameni si ca de aceea mai bine nu deranjeaza si se retrag in lumea lor, printre "ciudati".

Emo Music
Emo music sau mai bine zis EmoCore sau Screamo, este genul de muzica care isi are originea in rock si in care se refugiaza de obicei Emo people.Cu o tonalitate mai vesela dar versuri triste toate persoanele "Emo" se regasesc in acest gen de muzica.Ex. de trupe de emocore/screamo sunt: My chemical romance, Three Days Grace, Emo Novel(cea mai originala trupa screamo) sau Fall Out Boy.

Emo Style
Persoanele Emo au lansat un nou trend printre adolescenti, multi adoptand acest stil. Negrul sta la baza, apoi rozul care a fost lansat cu usurinta in lumea rockerilor cu toate ca nu a prea fost acceptata, Rock Boots pentru fete doar, Conversi pentru baieti, Pierce`uri cat incape (in general majoritatea celor Emo au lip piercings adica in buza, cate trei chiar sau in limba), Culori vii ale parului (in special roz sau verde in combinatii cu blond). Cat despre forma parului acesta trebuie sa cada peste ochi sau chiar si rasta este binecunoscut.Multe Emo Girls se rad intr`o parte a capului insa aprozimativ toti emo boys au parul lungut (nu prea lung) si peste ochi sau mai ciufulit (ceea ce dupa parerea mea este very cute ).
Emo au vrut chiar sa fie diferiti de restul lumii cu stilul acesta de imbracaminte insa si altii au preluat acest stil.

"Emo" is not short for "Emotional." "Emo" does not mean Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional, despite what MTV has lead you to believe in the last few years. "Emo" is not sidebangs, tight pants, and male vocalists who sing like little girls about their failed relationships. "Emo" is not the use of diluted, meaningless metaphors and similes such as "My arms are like pinecones," and most definitely is not the rampant use of words such as "autumn," "heart," "knife," "bleeding," "leaves," and "razorblade."

I just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands."

Now, onto the real definition.

In the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as "Emotive Hardcore," spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term "Emo" as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of "Emotive" Hardcore bands. That's right, "Emo" was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Negru And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there's still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records' roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don't quite follow that philosophy.

Often, more recently, this gets intertwined with post-hardcore, and understandably so - that's nothing to make an issue of, since well shit, at least it's close.

Since the late 90s, though, bands have been emerging in the vein of Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the thousands of their clones. As far as I can tell, some lazy journalist somewhere, writing an article about them, decided "Well, fuck, no one knows what emo is anyways, so I'll call these bands "emo" - sounds more appealing than bubblegum pop rock..." and the spiral continued downwards into the current amalgomation of bands MTV has told everyone is "emo."

Somehow, people decided that "emo" meant "emotional," which is obviously bullshit, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make "emotional" a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap.

Hope that helps.

Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, and My Chemical Romance falls under the "horrible pop rock" genre, not the emo genre.

The Difference between Emo And Goth:

Emos Hate themselves
Goths hate Everyone
Emos Want to Kill themselves
Goths Want to kill Everyone

There are two types of emo's.

1. You have the fake, trendy, bullshit emo. These are the people that force themselves to be emo, try to dramatize their life, and think wearing negru and cutting your wrists is emo.

2. The true emo, some who is overly emotional. Thats right, emo's can smile and be happy! Many people suffering from manic depression are labelled emo, because they can't help feeling like life fucking sucks. Alot of them also cut, hence people labelling other people who cut 'emo'

((Also, to all the people who say emo is shit, and say 'dont become emo' then label people emo when you decide they are, you are a bunch of tosspots who can go shoot yourself in the face.))

1. Fake emo: Oh my god, I saw how awesome emo's are on tv, I so have to be one

*two days later* *is wearing fully black clothes, make up, and is carrying a razor with them.*

Fake emo: My parents don't get me. Nobody gets me...

2. True emo: *is being hyper and dancing* I loooove life
*20 minutes later* God...I fucking hate this...dammit..

am o gramada de chestii asemanatoare 8-)
