Emo is a genre of music, also known as "Emotive Hardcore", which was created in the 80s by a band who uplifted it all known as Rites of spring. Emo is a powerful and passionate style of genre that features powerful musical build ups, Vocalists screaming passionately, and Very Instrumental. Emo is NOT in anyway linked to how a person dresses or looks like, Emotions, or the action of one cutting themselves. Emo Is Legit! Check it out boiz and gurlz! GOOD emo bands I listen To: Snowing, La dispute, Pianos Become The Teeth, Algernon Cadwallader, Touche Amore, Loma Prieta, mewithoutyou, Weatherbox. Bad/Fake: Bring Me The Horizon, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Blessthefall, Brokencyde, Bullet For My Valentine, Escape The Fate, Taking Back Sunday.
