What the hell is Emo that the kids talk about? Where did it come from and who made it so popular?

Emo refers to a sub-culture in the United States that emerged around the 1980's. They are similar to Goths and Punks. It is more of a mixture of the two. I have some friends that are emo's and they know all this crap. Emo is short for EMOtional.

emo is short for emotional. emo are the kids that are sad, basically. they listen to sad music, they cut themselves, they usually wear dark clothes but not specifically black.

its been around since the early 90s. its music coming from bands like
the get up kids
american football
sunday realestate
now-a-days its more of bands like
underoath
from first to last
the fashion is more mainstream now. so youll see lots of kids with tight jeans, shirt and either long hair or mediem long hair.

All it is, is that there is a bunch of kids who think that the world is such a bad place. So they cut their wrists and dress like s-hit. Its a moronic fad, but its not all that popular. Most sane kids hate them anyway.

I think it's short for emotion or emotional... and texting made it popular, if you have to write each letter, your text will take forever.
~I had to ask the person whom I was chatting with what they meant.

I'm with you, Brother as I don't have a clue either. guess our slang would be almost as confusing to the younger generation though.
