Emo (an abbreviation of "emotionally-driven Hardcore punk") is a term now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punk's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage. It is also used to describe fans of this genre, most commonly teenagers. (e.g., emo kid). The actual term "emo" originated in the mid-1980s D.C. scene, with the band Rites of Spring, as well as bands such as Fugazi, Moss Icon, and Antioch.

I guess an who some people call an "emo" is a person who wears different clothes and listens to diferrent music than others. I personally dont label people by what they wear or what music they listen to or even how they act. People do what they do most of the time because they choose too.

"emo" is a musical genre, but also, people who call themselves "emo" are trying to be nonconformist, but are really conforming to a stereotype. Emo glorifies the idea of depression and cutting oneself, which really should not be praised (we should be trying to prevent these things). It's stupid. Don't get caught up in this fad.
