what's a "emo" all about cause I still don't understand it?

Question

just curious!

Answer 1

The problem is that what one person defines as “emo” is not to the next, it all depends on your point of view.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s not easy to describe “Screamo/Emo” music, and the “lifestyle” that come hand-in-hand. Most people characterize the “Emo-kids” as being overly-depressed, whiny, and addicted to the woeful lifestyle that seems to constanty haunt them. But, most all that is said about these kids are just harsh stereotypes. Not all labeled ‘emo-kids’ are constantly whining about their overly depressive lives. Emo is just a type of music; a way of life for some... Emo is more a lighter type of music, which often has very well-written and emotional lyrics, while screamo is a heavier version of it’s Emo roots. There’s still the element of emotional, well-written lyrics, but along with that there’s screaming involved.

go to youtube and search for "Hope is Emo".

It's a series of amusing videos about a girl called Hope who conforms to the "emo" stereotype. The first couple are the most amusing.

It will give you an idea of the emo stereotype.
