It's my sister's friends that wear tight pants, too much eyeliner and find their suburbanite existance too much to bear. It's all so...emotional. *sniff*

Emo is a subgenre of hardcore punk music. Since its inception, emo has come to describe several independent variations, linked loosely but with common ancestry. As such, use of the term (and which musicians should be so classified) has been the subject of much debate.
In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe the music of the mid-1980s Washington, DC scene and its associated bands. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the DC scene and some of the regional scenes that spawned from it. The term emo was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and strongly emotional during performances. The most recognizable names of the period included Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party, and, slightly later, Moss Icon. The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s.

What they're trying to pass off as emo these days isn't true Emo, which back in the 80's was an offshoot of hardcore, which itself was an offshoot of post-punk....and it wasn't very good then...and it's just abysmal corporate pop-punk now.

Emo is one of the most annoying types of music on the face of the earth...right next to rap.

The easiest answer is listen to Good Charlotte,fallout boy,AFI,Hawthorn Heights,NFG and you'll find your answer...if it makes you want to slit your wrists and the men wear more makeup than the women extras in their vids,it's emo.
