  • emo is someone that is very emotional and sad and id say they like goth music CAUSE THERE OBSESSED WITH DEATH and No its not someone that is gay. emo its just a term they use to abbreviate emotional

    No one really knows, they just go around saying ewww that's emo or cool that's emo. Emo exists or does it

    they are freaks !

    No. EMO basically is a word meaning emotional.... like someone who is always depressed or very expressive with their feelings and emotions.

    no its not durogatory term as fag is for Homosexuals, its short for 'emotional' they usually have dark hair and it covers their faces, well thats what ive been told anyway.
    dont know about emo rock though

    Yes, it is, but there is no major difference. It's crap in the same.

    To the first answerer, emo and goth are COMPLETELY different. They just both sometimes happen to wear black.

    Emo sprung from the genre "Emo hardcore punk"
    and it can mean gay

    "Emo started in 1985 in Washington DC by dudes in the hardcore scene who wanted to get out of that niche and play something with more melody, emotion, and dynamic. Bands like these were Moss Icon, Rites of Spring, and Indian Summer.

    Emo spread in the 90s and it started becoming harder, faster, and screamier. Basically, you could call these bands screamo. They incorporated influences from hardcore and crust punk and bands in this era are Union of Uranus, Orchid, Swing Kids, and Saetia, who are often credited for starting screamo.

    Modern emo began to take influences from even more genres, like grindcore, post-rock, and I guess other stuff. City of Caterpillar and Funeral Diner play a mix of screamo with post-rock, Circle Takes the Square and Phoenix Bodies add in some grind influence, and the Japanese band Envy has a lot more straight-up hardcore influence.

    Bands like Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, and Underoath get confused with emo because in the mid-90s, a bunch of midwestern bands like The Get-Up Kids, Sunny Day Real Estate, and The Promise Ring played indie rock that was influenced by emo from the 80s. The media picked up on this and basically butchered the term by applying it to anything that sounds even remotely like these bands.

    In conclusion, most anyone who says they listen to 'emo' or 'screamo' really don't because they don't know **** and generally no one cares about an obscure sub-genre of diy punk that has very little connection to the mainstream.

    And again, a rough graphical history of emo's evolution: http://hydrac7.net/images/emo.gif

    Oh yeah, as a joke, some people call real emo/screamo "skram" or to a lesser extent "screamotional hardcore" to differentiate it from the fake ****."

    I didn't write this, but it is the most correct definition of Emo I've ever seen.

    EMO ISNT A TERM FOR FAGS! >:(
    that is just a total stereotype
    and im sick and tired of all ppl saying emo's are fags and crap!
    emo's are just ppl like everyone else!
    and this so called "emo rock" is also another stereotype
    its like basically punk
    and this sick stereotype was made up by the term
    "emotional"
    just because they have a heart doesnt mean you have to be mean!
    >:(

    Emo does not mean anyone who is emotional or any crap like that emo started out as a type of music that is in the style of rock. Emo rock is just a way to describe the emotional performances that a certain style a rock band might play

    Same thing, just that "rock" is trying to be a little less sissy. Not working though...

    have u ever been to a park and saw a dog do a number 2???
    its something like that!

    Emo wouldn't exist if all these kids would just get a big hug from mom and dad.

    it can be a different things, a music genre, an emotion, a fashion trend. but its a mix style between goth and punk. emo stands for emotional somewhat known for cutting their wrists. some people can call you emo as an insault if they dont like emos, so you might be acting dark or emotional.

    Alright. Your all wrong.
    Emo isnt anything, Its a word.

    The 'emo' genre, talks about life, and struggles.
    They make that type of music because people can relate to it.
    Emo is not a term of homosexuals. Thats called being a gay.

    Anything you hear about 'emos' and 'cutting' is all false.
    Emo does it fact me Emotional.
    But it doesnt describe every part of that person.

    Emo Rock is music that touches the person listening to it.

    Emo itself is just a word. Nothing else to it.

    emo = people who whine and cry and are depressed for no reason at all

    emo rock = what i just wrote above put to rock music.


    that's all it is, there is nothing meaningful behind it. it's just a bunch of stupid teenagers that are screaming for attention, they want to be different but there are millions of emo kids out there that are just like them.

    if you call emo kids (the dudes i mean) gay or ****** they take it as a compliment and post even more pics of themselves kissing other boys online, like on myspace like it's a badge of honor.

    and don't let them try to b.s. you into believing that they really are depressed, if i get depressed i don't start wearing women's clothing, cut my hair in some stupid japanese anime style, wear eye shadow and smear it down my face to acheive the "just got done crying" look, it's all for attention. these people think that this behavior is cool but it's really not, i point and laugh at these people. they want attention, i'll give it to them, in the form of laughter. I feel sorry for those poor little sheep, doing what everyone else is doing and not thinking for themselves...... FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS WATCH MTV AND SHOP AT HOT TOPIC FOR THEIR MUSIC.

    Edit::: shaun_haybrid_hill, what the **** kind of struggles are you referring to? are you serious? that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. what, is school too rough? math homework getting you down? your parents love you and buy you nice **** all the time but you still hate their guts because they don't understand how hard it is to be a teen? L O L!!! WOW, try being yourself and not following the crowd, think for yourself, you'd get more respect that way. man, kids say the darnedest things! struggles, HAH! try being homless like some bum, eating out of garbage cans, try having your country envaded by terrorists that kill innocent people and having to hide from them or fighting back and watching your family memmbers get gunned down like animals, try starving like the people in africa, try dealing with AIDS, then maybe you can bring up the word "struggle".
