EMO Music


The roots of the emo music goes back to the 80's. The emo genre is a subdivision of the punk, wich is a subdivision of the goth. The popular hardcore punk rockbands were the first emo bands. After that they called it emocore, a word mare up from the emotional and hardcore words. The first breath of the emocore was the first part of the emo story, the first period. Just to mention them: Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, etc... They were really cool until the beggining of the 90's, after they split up, we can say that the first period was over. In 1994, in the garden of underground indie the emo music style just reborned, cause of Fugazi and the Dischord records. The second wave or period was still just inside the USA. But the third wave was sentenced for world popularity! It caused by the record companies that tried to made up a lot of emo formations, and bands, and bulid emo communities all around the world. We are still in this period, and that is the hottest little fashion on the streets right now. From nowdays, just to mention some bands: My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, AFI, etc... But that is the point when you can't be up to date, cause emo bands going down, and coming up every week, so just keep looking on the web for emo music, or emo bands and listen'em!

There's nothing wrong with the emo-culture or the emo-music. And why people discribe them as suicidal and all that stuff with cutting themselves, isn't necessary true.
I just hope that people will, some day, respect the emo-culture that you say has become popular.

well...i live in greece...emo-style caracterises more and more teens...they "adopt" the emo-hair,emo-clothes,emo-music....but the most of them don't know even what "EMO" means....they just pretend to be sad...they cut themeselves...all these people cause my pity...and they also really get on my nerves...because they try to support a whole psychology through just their appearence...maybe,they have never experieced not even "a piece"of the real emo-feelings...personally i support and accept only people who indeed feel emo...these people lead a life plenty of loneliness and pain...and this not always their choice...maybe the situations that have experienced have made them feel the rejection,deception,pain...that feeling of being psychologically naked and this need of being introvert,shy,lonely...as for cuttings,just no comments.....so.....there are some people in this world thay don't believe-for many reasons-that we have to enjoy every single moment of our life because it's too short...we MUSTN'T fight this opinion...because we don't know the reasons for making such a choice...let's become open-minded....we cannot deprive anyone of the right to live...all of us we have the liberty to lead our life as we want...so we MUST respect the uniqueness os some people....we don't have to insult and treat the emo people violently....all people have to be accepted...because,in fact,nobody differs absolutely from us...we just make them to seem soooooooo different....to sum up,i think that we have to ignore all these labels...we are all humans....that's almost all i wanted to say...sooorry for having made mistakes in the text...english isn't my first language as you see...
