-1. To Metal Heads an emo band is a band that isn't brutal enough to be Thrash Metal or Death Metal. -2. To Punk Rockers emo bands are like punk rock bands that don't spread Anarchy. -3. To Goths, emo bands are "emo" because things like My Chemical Romance are more angsty than The Cure; Goth and emo are both alternative rock but aren't the same music or fashion. -4. Emo is sometimes used as an insult towards anyone with depression. -5. Emo is a subculture with dark clothes, bright accessories (arm sleeves, necklaces, piercings), dyed hair, eyeliner, skater shoes and music that's too expressive to be accepted by other subcultures and doesn't sound Goth.
