OK we all know that there are "emo" kids, but was the actuall first intended meaning of "emo"?

[i give you cancer]

People who cry mascara, wear tight pants, and use the phrase "It's too hard" often.

God, it's so hard to keep track of 'emo' definitions...

Emo can either mean 'emotional', because usually emos are saddened and always pessimistic because of a flaw in their teenage life, causing them to write dark poems, cut themselves, or simply complain about life.

Or, it can mean 'emocore', which I think is a type of music, but I don't know the exact definiton of it.

Here comes the flames...

Emotive Hardcore to be exact, think Killswitch Engage.

As for emotional punk, if its not angry and shouty at the government ot at least funny, then odds are its not really punk just some poser smile hope that clears it up.

People who cry mascara, wear tight pants, and use the phrase "It's too hard" too often. Also are worthy of being smacked silly, just for being like that.

Fixed.

Except most of the original "emo" bands have little or nothing to do with hardcore nowadays. No double bass, little screaming, etc. And besides that, further dividing the already dying hardcore genre is stupid as it is.

And by dying, I mean all the bands are going to s**t or becoming traditional metal bands. I mean when only one band (Boy Sets Fire) is in the genre that's existed for a while and not started sucking, you've got a problem.
