I've heard it's short for emotional, but I don't get all the emo, ska, or whatever. Can someone please explain these music types to me. I'm always being asked if I hate emo, and I don't have a clue what or who these people even are....

The I love Joel person doesnt know what they are talking about. Nuke is right. Everything he discribed is what is refered to as Emo. As for labeling types of music, different types of music are involved with different things. You won't go to a Jack Johnson concert and see a Mash Pit. There are certain thing assigned to certain types of music. Get used to it.
Also gothic technically means you worship the devil so that has nothing to do with emo. Emo people cut themselfs because they think nobody likes them even though they try to get people to like them. Goths just dress in black and don't talk and then say "Nobody understands me!"
Ska has nothing at all to do with emo. Ska is upbeat music which evolved from regae. Ska Revival is what most people now consider "ska". This is a mix between ska and punk. Ska Revival is assosiated with a type of dancing called "Skanking."
# 1 Answer!
Punky junkie is an idiot don't pay attention to their answer. All the @'s are really annoying!

No, not goth. Emo is a form of music derived from emotional feelings steering the artist into a state of low self-esteem. It is also used to name preppy kids in school who cut themselves bcuz they are either being stupid or neglected, and they smell funny. I better get a thumbs up bcuz thats the smartest i ever did on this site. And the person under me cheated, i think.

why don't you ask the people who ask you if you like emo just ask them what they mean... like what it is. and it is short for emotional. ask me i would know or soo i am told im the one who would know what emo is. Ok also i hate labels. no offense to you i just hate when people call a certain type of music something. or they call people emo. you prolly think im emo for sticking up for emos. but im still not sure if i would be called emo. but yeah i guess im emotional! LOL! true though. hope i helped.
dude emo guys are hot!!! and i don't cut my wrists. thats stupid and it gives emos a bad name... for all those stupid people who do cut wrists.

"emo" stands for "emotional". the people with tons of bracelets on their arms and long sleeve shirts, mostly wear all black, cutters, "i hate my life" music. all that's considered emo nowadays.
emo music is what i said before, people think it's all "i hate my life" kind of things. a lot of people think it's depressing.

Don't know quite what it is but I'm getting the vibe that it's Goth or something.
