"emo" is most commonly thought of as little 14 year olds in all black, black hair, black everything. Often they will cut but most importantly consider themselves emos as they listen to fake metal bands such as: Pierce the veil Black veil brides Of Mice & Men the list of bands in such "fake poser metal" is near endless and spans from Fall Out Boy style pop rock to Sleeping With Whiners appalling take on metalcore. Emo is used as a half derogatory half label to those who listen to shit; much in a similar fashion to that as the word "nigger". Originally from the 90s who were offspring of the punk tree, the word was used to describe bands who's lyrical were whilst being hardcore with a punk tint overlapping them. As people denied this tree of punk any right to be called emo and began to focus the word on the above description, emocore as such faded out. However in 2010, a revival began, spearheaded no longer by bands such as I Hate Myself and SDRE but bands such as TWIABP and Everyone Everywhere (bands with essentially the longest most obscure names possible) who's style is defined as lyrically soft often with high treble guitars yet still retaining the original screamo segments or rough quality. I'll Get back to you later If I knew, I'd Tell you Deer Leap Everyone Everywhere Empire! Empire! with more screamo leaders including: Caravels Pianos Become the Teeth
