This is a paper i wrote for the newspaper about what emo is:

Omg! Did you see the singer of “Riding over a bloody river on broken wings”? I loved his makeup. It was like the caked on eyeliner effect is like really hot!! And his jeans. . .how can he fit into a size 0? I can’t even do that. These are commonly heard phrases from so-called “emo” kids. I’ll let you in on a little secret. EMO KIDS DON’T EXIST. I bet you all are thinking, are you blind? No my friends, emo indeed doesn’t not exist. 
Emo is a type of music, not a type of person.  [Ignorant people] who use titles such as “she’s so emo” should be corrected. The proper terminology is “Scene” which is a type of fashion that emulates the current fashion in Indie, and Hardcore music, considered Passé  by most people who are involved within each genre of music stated above. For instance people who listened to those types of music originally wore “mosh hats”, Vans Slip-ons or Chuck Taylors, Corduroy blazers, and tight jeans. Soon there after, caricatures of these trends pop up on people trying to fit in by displaying these articles of clothing. 
Contrary to popular belief, “emo” doesn’t mean emotional. If it did, every single song ever created would be considered “emo”.  Starting with the break up of Minor Threat (a straight edge hardcore band) in [Washington D.C] during the 80’s, some [hardcore bands] took a turn to a softer side of music. This became “[Emotional Hardcore]”, not to get confused with just emotional. This is where “emo” came from. Emo is short for [Emotional Hardcore]. Bands from the late 90’s to today, are not “emo”. To call them such would be an insult to hardcore music. If you want to know what real “emo” music is, download Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is the reason, Jawbreaker, and Fugazi.
