Emo


Question Posted Thursday August 10 2006, 11:30 am

F/UK
I've seen a lot of questions about emo's on this site, but what exactly is this? I don't think it's an expression we use in the UK. Thanks.

EMO MEANS EMOTIONAL
It isnt a fashion statment
It doesnt mean you have to cut your wrists
And dye your hair.
Like Punk its a way of non conformity, but unlike punks you have to be depresse dot be ligitamatly emo, unlike punk were anyone can be punk and you dont know whos a poser or whos a punk

Teen-kids who dress in a punk type of way and are stylishly depressed (if you know what I mean). They are the ones with the black/brightly colored/all over the place hair and mismatched and rather strange clothing. We called them freaks when I was in school.

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 Arrow. The term addressed both the way the band connected with its audience, as well as its tendency to deal more with topics of personal and relationship politics than with the standard themes of rock music.

"Emo" is short for emotional. Recently it has become a steretype for people that look a certain way and listen to certain music. It's all nonsense.

an emo person well it stands for emotional.. they listen to stuff like fall out boy etc and are said to always look sad. and most emo boys where girl pants

also they tend to have shangier hair cuts with bangs that cover their eyes and are sort of punky but not like hardcore
