First off, ignore what all the emo purists say. According to them, emo is hardcore punk with emotive lyrics, and according to them, any band that has long bangs on their hair covering the sides and back or their fans look like that and have lip rings, jeans or something "can't be emo". They also think all emo bands have short hair and look like a hardcore punk band. Even some bands they reject as emo sound like the bands they call emo. (Dashboard confessional sound like 90s emo alt rock; MCR used to sound 80s emo; senses fail sound old school; etc) Emo basically is shortened as emotional. But it usually derived from alternative and punk. Nowadays many bands are gonna sound post-hardcore, indie, alt rock, and stuff. Emos as persons like this music, and also they might express emotion. But emo kids started to come more in 2004 and then started having a hair fringe and hair covering their head (except the face, they don't have to), jeans, band shirts or sometimes lip rings and studded belts and stuff. Screamo, though as hardcore punk influenced but had screaming and was intense. Even screamo gets confused with metal or even certain "Core" genres. Only certain core bands are emo as long as they have roots tracing from like The Used, MCR, or Hawthorne Heights or silverstien or something
