Emo is the short form of “emotional”. Basically emo refers to two different meanings. One of them is a particular punk style of music. The other one is a label used by teenagers for a style and way of life.Discussing the first meaning of emo, the emo style of music is basically punk rock and the lyrics are about emotional things. This type of music describes several independent music types having similar roots. It originally came from the Indie Music Style called Emotive Hardcore in the 80s. It is a sub-genre of punk. They used themes of sadness, love and angst in their music. As the name indicates, emotionality is the main basis of this type of music. Emos use their music to squeeze out their feelings of being oppressed, to express their frustration and get some relief.
Now referring to the other meaning of emo, which is more attractive and most talk about genre among the teenagers all over the world. People use this label for being extraordinary emotional and extremist. Their point is that they are always misunderstood. They are frustrated because they think that life has not been fair to them. The emo boys wear very tight jeans. The emo girls tend to lean towards late 70’s and early 80’s fashion. This is a fashion among emos to cut themselves, have tattoos on their bodies and they love to pierce their body parts and even faces. They wear heavy eye make-ups. They wear tight band or vintage looking t-shirts or zip-hoodies, studded belts, converse or skate shoes, black nail polish etc. Black thick rimmed glasses are another popular feature. The haircut of emo is specifically distinct. Their hair have awkward sharp irregular edges, brushed to one side of the face or over the eyes, and are dyed and straightened. Emo can be characterized by their rudeness and their moody nature. They are hopeless, disappointed people. Their pale bodies and face has much resemblance to the Goths.
Emo style has reached to its height of popularity since the start of 21st century. People have interest in this class of teenagers and want to know that what are emos. So today I have posted some dashing photos of emos. I hope you like them.Also Visit Optical Illusions.Thanks
The most important part of the emo lifestyle is the MUSIC!
Emo music has been around for years but only in the last decade has it really made a dent in the popular music culture. In the last ten or so years, Emo music has branched out from its post-hardcore roots into the wide variety of genres it has to offer today. Most of today's 'emo kids' don't know emo's roots lie in hardcore music. Read on and learn...
Emo music is best characterized by its heartfelt take on life and how to live it. It mostly consists of bands that sing, or scream, about relationships, breakups and other emotional and personal events in every young adult's life. This vocal styling is usually backed by aggressive rock guitars and heavy drum beats, reminiscent of its post-hardcore background. Emo as a music genre has broadened over the years and now is loosely defined as rock music with emotion-based lyrics and effect.

Early Emo & Description of the General Emo Sound / Style
The history of emo is somewhat less ambiguous than its current meaning. Emo music's history is still highly debatable though.
Emo was born in the mid 1980s, long before alleged-emo group Fall Out Boy hit MTV (or its members were even born) as an outgrowth of the hardcore punk movement in Washington, D.C. The term "emo" itself was derived from "emotional hardcore." Most mark the emergence of the emo genre as being in 1984, when the band Rites of Spring began playing in Washington, D.C formed from members of renowned hardcore bands.
This band and other early emo bands like Embrace (Ian MacKaye, Minor Threat) retained the intense punk-based sounds of Minor Threat, but distinguished themselves from their hardcore punk rock peers by adding an intuitive extreme emphasis on raw emotion. Along with racing punk drum beats and heavily distorted guitars, vocals grew melodic, lyrics became self-questioning and the dynamics alternated between loud/soft extremes. Vocals were dramatic and at climaxes of a song, it was not unusual for a singer to break down into a passionate scream, growl or moan. These emo bands moved away from angry songs of rebellion to more heart-felt introspective reflections, dealing with sadness, love and angst in their lyrics.
The music is designed to be highly dramatic, taking the listener through a series of powerful ups and downs with constant lyrical reminders of the heartbreak and pain the music is meant to reflect. It was a surprising contrast from hardcore punk of the time for bands like RoS producing heavily emotional lyrics, exposing themselves and their personal feelings.
The repeated use of loud-soft contrasts, reflective of the singer's mood changes between heartbreak, anger and confusion are perhaps the most distinct difference between emo and traditional punk music. Before emo, almost all punk music held a steady volume perpetuated by rhythm guitar. Emo often cuts the rhythm guitar suddenly, opting for a more intimate and contemplation-provoking type of sound.
With the introduction of Rites of Spring into the Washington, D.C. underground scene, emo became acceptable and copycats followed. The summer of 1985 becomes known as "Revolution Summer" when a new wave of rock-tempo, melody based bands formed out of the DC punk scene with diverse rock sounds.
Following RoS, the next notable band to make a big impact through emo was Moss Icon who combined Rites of Spring's lyrical heartbreak with traditional punk's energy. Moss Icon strips the "emo" element down to the core, and adds a great deal of intricate guitar melody with a strong focus on loud/soft dynamics. The vocals, too, break new ground by building up to actual top-of-the-lungs screaming at songs' climaxes.
Some consider Moss Icon the starting point for the emo movement rather than Rites Of Spring. Other big names of this early period in emo music's history include One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Still Life, Indian Summer, etc

Early Screamo
Eventually, emo allowed some bands to be wildly experimental in their song writing and intricate, sometimes even delicate guitar-work became a part of the emo sound. As the movement spread outside D.C., many hardcore and punk scenes adopted the aesthetic and emotional focus of emo.
As well as Saetia from New York, bands such as Drive Like Jehu, Heroin and the Swing Kids in San Diego developed their own, more aggressive (even chaotic) version of emo, known as "screamo." However all emo had one thing in common: a guttural, driven approach to self-expression.

Emo's Second Wave (Indie-Emo) Upto Present Day Emo
In 1987, MacKaye and Rites frontman Guy Picciotto formed Fugazi. As meticulous to the art-over-commerce ideal as it was with its cerebral-yet-visceral sound, Fugazi inspired emo's second wave.
The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands and the emo movement turned away from its hardcore roots. By the early '90s, a new crop of melodic punk bands like Jawbreaker and Samiam began to incorporate the heaviness of emo into their pop punk sound.
In the mid '90s, 'emo' began to reflect the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi. Bands like 'Texas is the Reason' and Seattle's 'Sunny Day Real Estate' introduced a more indie rock style of emo, less violent than its predecessor. These "indie emo" bands added the introspective lyrical focus and trademark loud/soft dynamic structure to their heterogeneous indie music.
Somewhere along the way the major record industries took notice. It's around this time that emo started collecting multiple definitions adding gaping contradictions and much confusion. The press of course got a hold of the emo term and bastardised it. Emo developed into a space of tension between independent authenticity and corporate mass media.
Like many other aspects of youth culture though, the music and its associated practices and themes were appropriated for profit and turned into a product for mass consumption. Before long, catchy emo bands such as Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eat World and Weezer entered the mainstream and were on regular rotation on MTV and national radio stations.
Dashboard Confessional especially is the site of separation for many in the rift in Emo culture. The original classic emos see Dashboard Confessional as an insincere bastardization of their subculture and its sentiments due to their mainstream, corporate status, whereas Emo "mainstreamers" of today see Dashboard Confessional as a talented band that provides enjoyment and addresses a difficult time in life.
