Originally short for emotive hardcore, a subgenre of hardcore punk and post hardcore catagorized by more personal, emotional, and confessional lyrics. It is not a shitty subculture of edgy teenagers who are desperately trying to be unique and different, those are just scene kids. No, chances are if you see it on a shirt at Hot Topic, it is not an emo band (Or a screamo band for that matter). Some examples of emotive hardcore bands are: Embrace, Rites of Spring, Moss Icon, Indian Summer, Dag Nasty Emo more commonly also refers to another genre known as midwest emo, indie emo, or simply just emo. This type of emo is more closely related to indie rock (which is also probably different than what youre thinking). Examples of indie emo bands are: Sunny Day Real Estate, Cap'n Jazz, Joan of Arc, Jimmy Eat World (early), Mineral Both of these types of emo often include shouted, screamed, or occasionally sloppy vocals, respectively.
