What is 'emo'?

[Pete]

Emo, which stands for "emotional, is a youth movement based around dark music, dark clothing and a dark view of the world.

It was pioneered in America and emo followers adhere to a host of cult-like conventions to demonstrate dedication to this new wave of pop music and lifestyle.

The emo brand of music sounds much like indie or rock, but it takes its unique name from the emotional lyrics and melancholy themes.

One of the forerunners of this genre is the band My Chemical Romance from New Jersey, America.

While most fans simply enjoy the music and dress, others take their fascination to a sinister level.

They indulge in self-harming and become obsessed with death and suicide.

telling her parents, “I want to kill myself”, when she returned late from a friend’s house.

They dismissed the comment and said “don’t be silly” but an hour later found her suspended an inch from the floor.

Hahahahahah. This is wunderbar.

speaking about “the black parade” - a place where “emos” believe they go after they die.

THIS.

[cobert]

It is clearly a self-harming youth cult which glamorises death.

Who wants to help me desecrate the graves of all the fags who've killed themselves because they listen to faux-emo? I might even burn a church afterwards, I dunno.

You could merge Scandinavian Black Metal with true emo and make a new genre. Blemo or something.

scandanavian black metal is like, the worst black metal, that would be a disgrace to emo

[AllBoutTheBenjamins]

lmao at the article... Its kinda funny. Over in the UK where this article took place only the emo kids like mcr.

Here in the US all the emo kids reject mcr now because their too "mainstream" and have moved onto to bands like saosin and the bled.

[cobert]

Good to see you've kept your finger on the pulse of the US scene.

I think I answered the TS' question.....

[RunAmokRampant]

Most people who 'look' emo, don't even know what emo is, so there's pretty much no chance that the media would know either.
