| | Emo (slang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While "emo" is often used to describe the dress and attitudes of fans of emo music, it should be noted that "emo" as a musical genre and "emo" as a slang term are largely separate. | | | However, during the late 1990s, as emo music began to emerge from the underground into popular consciousness, the term began to be used as a reference for more than just the music. | | | There is also a common stereotype that associates "emo" with self harm, most notably wrist slashing, mainly due to the song lyrics of popular bands conforming to the image of emo in the public eye, which often speak of suicide. |

| | Urban Dictionary: emo |
| | A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. | | | But since you asked, emo is a subgenre of indie/punk rock music, with a heavier focus on melody and emotional lyrics. | | | Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. |

| | Emo: The Emotional-Punk Movement Music |
| | Harmony is used more so in emo than in punk music, particularly to accent certain words and concepts, and emo music on the whole tends to emphasize melody and lyricism, certainly more so than does traditional punk music, which is designed to anger and move to action rather than depress or emphasize vulnerability. | | | Perhaps the most distinct difference between emo and traditional punk music is the former's repeated use of loud-soft contrasts, reflective of the singer's mood changes between heartbreak, anger and confusion. | | | Emo differs from traditional punk in that an extreme emphasis is placed on raw emotion, which is conveyed through heartbroken and sometimes angry lyrics (as in "screamo") and through emotionally-charged chord progressions and high-energy beats. |

| | Emo music is characterized by its mediocore riffs and border-line homosexual lyrics. | | | Famous Emo musicians include Evanescence, Hawthorne Heights, and Dmitri Shostakovich (who is notable in his being able to convey suicidal intent in music without use of Emo lyrics). | | | Basically you will stick a the suffix of -core on the back of a word to create a genre all your own, this allows you to glorify your lame emo music and let you believe you are actually into a type of music that is mildly respectable amongst the rest of the world's population. |

| | A music genre that features a heavy, guitar-based sound and melodic, emotional tunes. | | | Jimmy Eat World makes "emo" rock, one of those know-it-when-you-hear-it genres that seems as much an attitude as a type of music. | | | Along with the geek-rockers of Weezer, Jimmy Eat World is probably the most popular emo band out there, with a couple of bona fide radio hits and a few critically acclaimed albums to its nonsensical name. |

| | Supersensitive Artists By Mikael Wood |
| | Emo is at root an American music, and, in terms of subtlety, its hysterical twentysomethings are the musical equivalent of Yanks who visit the Vatican in Birkenstocks and dark socks. | | | When a tightly knit group of brainy, literate punk rockers centered around the band Rites of Spring invented emo in Washington, D.C., in the mid 1980s, they had a very specific goal: to reinject punk with some of the emotion and theatricality it had lost during the years of strident Reagan-era political engagement. | | | One encouraging byproduct of emo's mainstreaming is that there is now room inside the big tent for outsiders. |

| | "Emo" music is a rock style of music but there is something distinguishing about the lyrics as apposed to other artists. | | | However, I would have to describe "emo" music as music that has a deeper meaning or lesson in life but doesn't exactly come out and say it in their lyrics. | | | I've seen this term a lot, and I've even listened to music that called itself emo, but different bands sound so different that I can't tell what the distinguishing traits of emo are. |
