The emo subculture [originated] in the late 1980's-1990's. It started off meaning "Emotive" or "Emoticore" refering to a type of [hardcore punk]. The original emo bands were ones such as Rites of Spring (who claim their fans started the term emo), and Embrace. During the late 1990's faded from it's place in the mainstream, but did exist. [One of] this time's signifigant emo conerstones was Weezers album "Pinkerton". From 2000 on emo came back (harder than ever!). When emo came back, it's true meaning was somewhat lost and certain fasets of the true emo culture changed. "Emo" now is said to stand for "emotional" and many bands that emo people listen to are a very washed down, pop, sad version of punk. Such modern emo bands are Dashboard Confesional, and Further Seems Forever. With it's change of meaning modern emo's act very emotional. Often they show signs of [depression], wearing black and having a very pessimistic view of the world.
