Everyone question has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. I'm not going to go into too much more detail, but emo does not mean emotional. Emo is not Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Hawthorne Heights, Dashboard Confessional, etc. They are pop bands nothing more. You don't listen to emo, and I'm willing to bet that you never have. Emo is style of hardcore music that is short for emotive hardcore. It originated in Washington D.C. It is widely regarded that the bands Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, and few others started it in the mid 80's. Rites of Spring being one of the best and most well known. They took their music in a more personal direction with a far greater sense of experimentation. Emo bands aren't on major record labels either. Emo is anti-corporate. It's what defined the bands, and it's what still defines those bands today. You will never find an emo band on Vagrant, Geffen, Drive-Thru, etc. Those bands aren't emo, and never will be.

Emo is not a style of dress or personality. It is not slitting wrists.

Emo sucks....it sucked back in the 80's and what passes for emo sucks even more now. I kind of feel bad for emo kids. If you're under 21 nowadays, you never really got to experience good music when you were old enough to be cognizant of it.

to me it means, like a kid that just is emotional (not suicidal) and doesn't like acting like every other prep they see and likes to be different and understood.
