what is the etimology of violence?

Answer 1

The English word "violence" has come down through to us through the Old French from Latin (violentia, violentus).

Its roots convey a sense of "force" or "overpowering strength," from the Latin particle "vis" -- this gives it common ground with other words like "violate" and "violation."

The author Thomas Moore, in _Care of the Soul_, advances the idea that the word also emerges from the Latin "vivus," or "life." In his mind, life and violence and therefore inextricably linked.

If you are referring to aetiology, well, the causes of violence in society are complex and, in many cases, linked to biological and hormonal responses.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Emo Violence or "Emoviolence", also related to screamo and Hardcore Emo, is a subgenre of music that evolved from Hardcore in the early 1990s, primarily in the Southeast of the United States - Florida in particular, (this can be seen on the Southeast Hardcore, **** Yeah!! compilation). This form of music uses vocals pushed past the point of normal sound by yelling and screaming, with occasional spoken words or singing. Emo Violence is often poorly recorded to give it a foggy, low-fidelity sound. Although just as loud as Grindcore, it ends up being much less technical and dark sounding than Napalm Death or as crunchy and angular as Pig Destroyer.

Emo Violence is the direct link from Emo to Screamo through reprocessing of influences. The term was originally coined by the group In/Humanity as a joke in reference to their own band and friend's bands Palatka and End of the Century Party. The tongue-in-cheek genre descriptor was a play on other meaningless genre descriptors of the time: (namely emo and powerviolence). In/Humanity claims that the phrase actually comes from the song "Emotional Violence" by the funk group Cameo (band).
