my opinion about the word "emo" for me, emo means "emotive hardcore" not emotional...all songs in this world are emotional I know this word is used to label bands like MCR, FOB, secondhand serenade and other bands. those bands i've mentioned above are not emo MCR - alternative, punk FOB - pop/alternative/punk secondhand serenade - alternative/acoustic emo has the essence of hardcore so it's impossible for them to become emo Emo is a dead genre for me. According to my researches, emo started somewhere in the 80�s. The real emo bands� music is very far from the bands which people label as emo today and so does their faces and appearance. The real emos (80�s) doesn�t have one sided hair, studded belts and other things that the �emo fashion� has. And this word, I think, is overused and abused. They�re attaching this word to suicide, loner, one sided hairs, depression, and cutting wrists. i don't actually have a hate on them, i have respect for them...
