emo comes from a branch of rock/hardcore music qualified as more "emotional" ; i think emocore (emotion[al]-hardcore) was the strain that made this genre most widespread. usually, the singing is rather tense and more or less cried out, with generally sad or depressing lyrics... take a look at the band Thursday, for example.

the look/style and attitude representing this genre looked kinda like the guy in red in the middle : [ www.emostar.de ]

then, as becoming a widespread trend, it became associated with overstyled youngsters, sometimes also looking like the other guys on the pic, with an exaggerated crying/complaining habit and teenage angst pride in sadness/despair...

now i think it's mostly associated with that kind of haircut : [ x2e.xanga.com ] and that kind of behaviour : [ www.youtube.com ]

How come people always make fun of suicidally depressed people while trying to diss "Emo's" (sic)? I don't find suicide very funny, it destroys communities when it happens, and I'm still torn up about two friends of mine who did themselves in a few years ago in horrific ways who were by no means emo... wrist-slitting is not funny, it's horrific... people fucking spray the walls, and if they survive it they have the ugliest scars ever. These particular people didn't do it to get attention, they were at the end of their ropes. Man, it feels like shit trying to figure out what the fuck happened, and sometimes it's not selfishness, it's just that your good friends have completely lost their minds. I once saw a woman in a psych ward who had slit her wrists the wrong way many times, one under the other, and literally had a series of bumpy scabs along each cut up each arm. I'm really tired of everyone posting this fucking along the road shit. It's getting old and I really don't get the point. I know I joked about it on another page because this new wave of emo kids is totally pathetic and I also want them to die... but something really creeps me out about correcting people on how to slit their wrists. Even if it's a joke.

I used to love Emo when it still meant Fugazi, Snapcase, and Quicksand. The people doing it weren't depressed or anything, they just got really into their music and put on good shows, and it didn't even have any semblance to this Good Charlotte crap. And it was often pretty tight shit which didn't sound wussy - good dynamics and weird time signatures. In fact it was closer to what they now dub screamo, but not bullshit like Alexisonfire... the whole thing about it was sounding completely tortured by something while singing, not whining about "how could this happen to me". It got associated with crap like Sunny Day Real Estate by the record industry and then it slid downhill... SDRE btw were some sort of Seventh-Day-Adventist indie group, man did I ever despise them.

Now that said I've never been a big fan of the original emo look either but it was a hell of a lot cooler than this appropriated pop nonsense that involves all the eyeliner and gel and crap. And I still think the black shirt/red tie combo looks bad-ass, as long as it's not some douchy kid pulling it off. EC8OR used to dress like that for their shows and they were far from emo - look em up, DHR, Alec Empire's label. There was a hell of a lot of decent music in that category and now it means something else... sound familiar? Think of the following:

What does R&B mean today? What did it mean back in the 60s?
What does House refer to today? What was it back in 1988?
What does Hardcore refer to today? What did it mean back in 1991? (This one is ok though, we know why it evolved)
What does Electro refer to today? What did it mean in 1985?

YOU ARE BEING LIED TO. The new Coke doesn't taste anything like the old Coke. In fact there's something missing, it used to have that kick and my grandfather couldn't stop drinking it.
I'm feeling old and crotchety right now..

Since when did the record industry even use the word emo? I thought people hated them cause they called themselves or were called punk, casting a shadow over the real punk scene for people who don't know any better, while their music doesn't(but perhaps at some point did?) sound like it at all except for three chords and they don't care about politics or world affairs. I didn't realise they had ever actually called themselves Emo.

The emo movement was created at the end of the 80's mostly around the hardcore/punk scene.What's is wrong today is that this movement became a *Fashion* thing, or a *great opportunity to look metrosexual*. It's the sane things for the *actual* candies.When the 1st candy kids appeared,people dunno how to call them.Looks like punk but not really at the same times.THey invent the actual *plastic jewelry* because they went somewhere and all the chains were forbiden.Was people who were designing or buying their clothes for cheap,dollorama acessories etc.. Using imagination for everyone look different.TOday,you can actually buy your phat ( in funfur ) or not,the cutted socks for the hand etc...SO in my opinion ,when a movement turn into a fashion thing ,the movement die by itself.
I'm feeling ecornifleuse right now..
