Actually I think all we've prooven, is that there is no fully agree'd history of emo, there are too many anomalies, to actually define what it is, though its possibly a combination of both our versions.

Emo originated from punk in the 80's from Rites of Spring (or something like that)

My parents don't know wtf emo/punk/goth/scene are, so I just don't even try to explain to them. They keep asking why I'm goth, and I just say "I don't know, mom" even though I'm not goth...I'm emo...

Didn't Emo start in 1983 with bands like "Jaw breaker"?

And with your mom, just look up "emocore" in a online dictionary thing, or get the book "punk rock, teenagers, and emo:nothing feels right."
That guy gives good definatilns, and examples, plus history.

Gives you tons o' information.

heheee, about my new vans:
mom: but honey, they're so GOTH.
me: um no. vans originated as skate shoes.
mom: but honey, you don't skate.
me: yah, now they're just a fashion statement.
mom: but they have SKULLS on them.
me: *trying a different tact* haven't you seen the celebs with the skull scarfs? skulls are sylish right now."
mom: but they're so DARK. I don't want you to be some gothic creep.
me: THEY AREN'T GOTH.
mom: oh well, they're gothic enough for me *ditzy giggle*

later in the day....

*we drive by some goth metal-head looking people*
mom: ew, look at those people. they just want attention.
me: um no, their expressing themselves.
mom: hey look rachel, they're wearing your vans!
me: WTF. NO MOM, THEY'RE WEARING BOOOTS.
mom: oh, but they look like they'd wear your vans.
me: k, mom. those people would SCORN my vans.
mom: really?
me. YES.
after that she sort of left me alone. ^^
