Emo means something different to everyone. however, in very few situations does it mean 'whiney kids who overexaggerate their emotions'! Many Emo kids have had a rough past, or are going through rough times, and find cutting as a release. to turn emotional pain into physical pain, which they can deal with. many Emo poeple find ways to express themselves through music. Hawthorne Heights, Armor for Sleep, The Academy Is...=Great bands with great lyrics. Emo is not a trend. Its life.

Emo is short for emotional. Emo kids are into bands like The Used and Dashboard Confessional and Hawthorn Heights cause they are kinda sad and depressing songs at times. Some can be cutters, and some always say, "No one understands me", so they are Emo cause the are depressed people basicly.

It's short for "emotional." It's a music genre. A lot of those relate the lyrics in emo songs to their lives and take it seriously, it's like a way of life for them.

"Emo" kids are suburbanite children who listen to punk-goth music that speaks of how terrible everything is. They are characterized by dark hair, dressing in a very asexual fasion, and often wrist-slitting and whining about how horrible life is. Not to be confused with the new Alternative-Punker kids, also known as "Scene", who are usually quite upbeat, mostly because of the ridiculous number of concerts they attend.

Emo is from the word emotional. Don't bother yourself by worrying about it.
This, too, shall pass.

Emo (reported /?i?mo?/) is a sort of rock tune mostly characterised by means of melodic musicianship and expressive, in general confessional lyrics. It originated within the mid-Nineteen Eighties hardcore punk motion of Washington, D.C., in which it used to be referred to as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by means of bands comparable to Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the sort used to be echoed by means of cutting-edge American punk rock bands, its sound and which means shifted and transformed, mixing with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated within the early Nineties by means of organizations comparable to Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid Nineties countless emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and a number of impartial list labels started to specialize within the sort. Emo broke into mainstream tradition within the early 2000s with the platinum-promoting luck of Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and the emergence of the subgenre "screamo". In latest years the time period "emo" has been carried out by means of critics and newshounds to a style of artists, adding multiplatinum acts and organizations with disparate patterns and sounds.
