Most people have a horribly limited idea of what emo is, simply because the most important records in the development of emo were largely released on vinyl, in small numbers, and with limited distribution. These were however very influential, so nowadays you have the situation that a lot of kids listen to third- and fourth-generation emo styles without even knowing it. I hope to expose such people to a wealth of great preceding music that's getting easier to find all the time...
I'm going to split up the mass of "emo" bands into a few distinct genres. Like any categorization effort, there will be exceptions, crossovers, and tangential relations. That's fine. The intent is only to lay out some general trends, general notes on sounds, musical and lyrical themes, and how to listen for them.
Some notes on nomenclature. There isn't a real consensus on what "emo" and "emocore" are, or if they are even different. It's pretty clear these days what you're talking about with terms like "punk," "postpunk," "no-wave," "hardcore punk," "old-school/new-school," etc (although the difference between "hardcore punk" and "hardcore" is lost on a lot of people - "hardcore punk" is punk rock made heavier, faster, louder; "hardcore" is what happened after the hardcore punks realized they didn't have to sound like punk rock anymore - still heavy, fast, loud, but with a different foundation.) I hope to draw clear distinctions between my categories, assign them names, and use them consistently. That's all that language is.
Rites of Spring, Embrace, Gray Matter, Ignition, Dag Nasty, Monsula, Fugazi kind of, Fuel, Samiam, Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music, Elliot, Friction, Soulside, early Lifetime, Split Lip/Chamberlain, Kerosene 454.
-Starts in DC in 1984/85 and goes strong, spreads to the SF Bay in 1989, then explodes all over the Midwest, Florida, and Northeast shortly thereafter.
-The "emocore" style has become broader over the years. In the beginning, these bands consisted mostly of people who played in hardcore punk bands, got burned out its limited forms, and moved to a guitar-oriented, midtempo rock-based sound with emotional punk vocals (i.e., no posed soulful crooning like pop music). The central alură here is the guitars - distorted, strummed mostly in duo unison, with occasional catchy riff highlights. This becomes known as the classic "D.C. sound," along with the octave chords that show up in later "emo" music. Later bands bring in more pop elements, like catchy-riff based songs, pop song structures (listen to Jawbreaker's "Chesterfield King" to illustrate this), and less-punk, more-smoothly-sung high-register singing (less yelling, straining, throatiness). Listen to Elliot or Chamberlain for an example of how alternative-pop this music has become. Yet those bands are undeniably still emocore. Also note most emocore bands play Gibson Les Paul guitars, with a few SGs, and use mostly Marshall JCM-800 amps.
Moss Icon, the Hated, Silver Bearings, Native Nod, Merel, Hoover, Current, Indian Summer, Evergreen, Navio Forge, Still Life, Shotmaker, Policy of Three, Clikatat Ikatowi, Maximillian Colby, Sleepytime Trio, Noneleftstanding, Embassy, Ordination of Aaron, Floodgate, Four Hundred Years, Frail, Lincoln, Julia, Shroomunion, some early Unwound, etc.
-Started in the DC area in 1987/88 with bands inspired by that area's post-hardcore acceptance of new, diferite sounds within the punk scene. Moves onward to New Jersey and California, then onward to Philly, Richmond VA, a bit in Canada, a bit in Illinois, and not much else.
-Musically there's a lot dynamics between ultra-soft / whispered vocals / twinkly guitar bits and full-bore crashing / twin Gibson SG guitar roaring / screaming vocals. One of the most recognizable and universal elements of emo shows up in the guitar sound of this style: the octave chord. Octave chords give this style a high-pitched, driving urgency and a very rich texture. The Gibson SG / Marshall JCM-800 guitar combo and Ampeg 400 bass amp is the classic emo gear. Solid-state amps are unheard of.
-The vocal style is usually much more intense than emocore, ranging from normal singing in the quiet parts to a kind of pleading howl to gut-wrenching screams to actual sobbing and crying. Straight-edge boys tend to hate that part, and much derision is levelled at emo bands on this point. Most emo bands tend to have some epic-length songs that build up very slowly to a climax where someone cries. If you're receptive to this kind of thing, it can be extremely powerful and moving, since it's very hard to fake that kind of pure emotion convincingly.
-Lyrics tend toward somewhat abstract poetry, and are usually low in the mix and hard to decipher. Record inserts have lyrics, but often so disorganized and haphazard that they're very difficult to read [unless the record was released on Ebullition Records, in which case there are many inserts on small, brightly-colored papers containing poetic writing from the label owner and all his friends about disillusionment, anger, and things that happened when the writer was four. Such writing is known as emo writing, and there are many, many zines just like that]. Said inserts are almost always done with antique typewriters or miniscule hand-lettering, containing no punctuation or capitalization. Often the only information about the band listed is the band members' first names. Another trait of really emo records is to have no information whatsoever about song titles.
-Artwork, too, tends toward abstract black-and-white photographs of rusted/broken things (especially machinery), drawings of flowers, and pictures of old men, little boys, and little girls. Lots of live photos indicates the band is probably from the East Coast, and probably listened to straight-edge at some point.
-Live emo bands tend to play with backs to the audience during the quiet parts. During the loud exploding parts, the musicans have a tendancy to jump and shake unpredicatable and knock things over - especially mike stands. Combine this with the fact that the singers often fail to make it to the mike in time to sing, and decide just to scream at the absolute top of their lungs wherever they are when the time comes, means that often entire shows will pass without the audience being able to hear the vocals. If, however, the band has a lot of screaming during the quiet parts, this can be an extremely powerful tactic.
-The is a particular emo dance sometimes seen in the audience at emo shows. It's known as "the emo tremble." The trembler clasps his/her hands together (wringing them from time to time), leans forward, bounces quickly on the balls of the feet, and shakes the upper torso in time to the music. Once in a while the trembler will grab the back of the head and rock back and forth. The more the person likes the band, the more he or she will double over.
-Commercialism is very much repressed in this emo scene. Few bands make t-shirts. Most records are put out on very small, home-run labels or on the band's private label. Records are sold cheap (the classic pricing scheme was $3 7"s, $5 LPs, and $8 CDs. Inflation has driven these prices up in recent years). Shows are univerally $5 or less, and touring bands often are lucky to get gas money (despite the promoter usually not paying local bands).
-There is also a bias against digital technology within most bands. Emo recordings tend to be analog only, cheaply done, with a tendency toward mostly live tracking with few overdubs. Equipment is heavily weighted toward tube gear. Until recently, most emo records were made on vinyl only. CD reissues of broken-up bands' discographies are becoming common, though.
-Lastly, emo bands tend not to last long. It was not uncommon an emo band's only recording to come out posthumously and much delayed. Obviously, this puts a damper on the distribution of the records since no one in the band puts much effort into promotion.
-a modern perspective: the term "screamo" is used a lot nowadays to describe bands that are based most heavily on this kind of music.
Heroin, Antioch Arrow, Mohinder, Honeywell, Reach Out, early Portaits of Past, Assfactor 4, Second Story Window, End of the Line, Angel Hair, Swing Kids, Three Studies for a Crucifixion, John Henry West, Guyver-1, Palatka, Coleman, Iconoclast, some Merel, some Clikatat Ikatowi, etc.
-Similar to punk vs. hardcore punk - faster, louder, harder, much more intense and single-minded. Most of these bands play extremely fast, and introduce the "chaos" concept to hardcore. This is extremely abrasive music, with vocals screamed at the physical limit of the vocal chords. The guitars are distorted to the point that notes and chords are hard to recognize - although often the guitarists don't even play notes, instead making piercing, staccato bursts of noise, squeals of deafening feedback, or a wash of strummed dissonance. The bass often has quite a bit of distortion as well, unlike straight emo. This is everything emo done more so - sometimes so totally over the top that the band 's songs are not even recognizable when performing live. Antioch Arrow, for instance, thrashed about so much on stage that they sounded less like a band than a giant amplified blender. After each song, they had to retune every string, and usually had knocked over a good fraction of their equipment. These shows tended also to be quite short for reasons of the band's physical endurance.
-All the other notes about emo records, shows, economics, etc. apply to hardcore emo too. It's very much simply a subset of emo. In my eyes, this was the ultimate expression of the form. There was a frantic, primal quality to a band like Heroin that could just reach through your ribcage and squeeze your heart like in the Temple of Doom. I never found that in any of the other types.and post-emo post-hardcore. Sunny Day Real Estate, Christie Front Drive, Promise Ring, Mineral, Boys Life, Sideshow, Get-Up Kids, Braid, Cap'n Jazz, then later Joan of Arc, Jets To Brazil, etc. Lots of Caulfield and Crank! Records bands, more lately a lot of stuff on Jade Tree for instance.
-Anyone that claims to like both straight-edge and emo is probably talking about this kind of emo. Starts out near Colorado and Seattle, explodes all over the Midwest, then onward to New York, etc. In fact an early term for this kind of music was "midwest emo," as these bands seemed to come out of nowhere towns in Missouri, Kansas, Colorado...
-Musically, tends toward a lot of loud/soft interation, but a lot of softly-sung vocals and very little screaming or harshness. Lots of catchy, poppy guitar riffs, happiness or at least melancholy, and a particular fascination with off-key, cutesy boy vocals. This is where the phrase "twinkly guitar parts" comes from - lots of pretty major-key arpeggios, light drumming, and some amount of crooning. It sounds like a recipe for cheeze, and sometimes is. I remember reading a review of the early Christie Front Drive 12" that said, "this is what emo kids listen to when they make love." It was a nice alternative to a steady diet of hardcore.
-There is a valid element of emo in the vocals here (along with occasional octave chord). It's not as easy to identify as the mournful screaming in the original emo style, tending to consist more of greatly drawn-out phrases detailing very emotional lyrics with ironically light and poppy singing.
-Sunny Day Real Estate came up with a very original post-hardcore meets emocore at an indie rock show sound. This inspired a spawn of imitators even more shameless than the Fugazi and Quicksand clones. Which leads one to observe: post-hardcore emerged when the hardcore scene tired of the same seven-year-old sounds inspired by a few innovative hardcore bands. A few innovative post-hardcore bands come out with a totally new sound out of nowhere (Fugazi, Quicksand, SDRE, Drive Like Jehu), and spawn legions of imitators. Basically straight out of Thomas Kuhn's theories...
-By 1999, this type of music had achieved a fan base far larger than any of the autentic emo stuff. In fact, that's what prompted me to write this website in the first place - the glut of info on the web about this and the lack of a historical perspective. Statistically, you the reader are most likely to be familiar with this type of emo. In the years since then, it's only grown far, far bigger. Jimmy Eat World and Thursday are in regular rotation on MTV and many corporate alternative radio stations, and sappy music like this Dashboard Confessional fellow is pulling in a whole new audience. This is well on its way to becoming a major demographic market, soon after which we'll see a lot of new bands with zero real connection to the original underground scene (unlike for instance Jimmy Eat World, who used to open at every emo show in Phoenix way back in 1994).
The "emo" style detailed above has been dead since around 1995, when new emo bands stopped forming and the old ones broke up. Most people in bands nowadays seem to regard pure emo to be overstated and quite cheezy (of course, this opinion has had its adherents all along...). The "emo scene" since has taken a few different directions. One is the ultra-heavy, ultra-fast wall-of-noise attack blending elements of grindcore and Neurosis-style apocalyptic chaos with bleeding-vocal-chords screaming: Jenny Piccolo, Union of Uranus, One Eyed God Prophecy, Makara, Living War Room, Orchid, Reversal of Man, Usurp Synapse, To Dream Of Autumn, etc.
Another trend has been to explore analog synthesizers and mod/goth/new wave sounds - post-emo style-rock? Das Audience / The Vue, VSS, Slaves, Crimson Curse, etc. Mostly a California thing originally, this has ballooned and is one of the vibrant growing scenes in indie music as I write this. The Faint, The Hives, The White Stripes, Milemarker, and even some mainstream music like The Strokes are reviving late 60s/early 70s rock and roll (Lou Reed and Velvets style, maybe a bit of Rolling Stones) with the emo fashion sense and a cynical underground sneer.
The vocal intensity of emo has been very influential on non-emo styles, as well. It has crept into new-school metallic hardcore quite a bit: Downcast, Struggle, Groundwork (AZ), Converge, Threadbare, Unbroken, Guilt, Botch, Fall Silent, Cable, Time in Malta. The chaos, power, and bleeding vocals of hardcore emo have similarly influenced non-emo ultra-hardcore bands: Jihad, Coalesce, Dillenger Escape Plan, etc.
Traditional East Coast hardcore and straight-edge has always been the most derisive critic of emo, befitting the male-oriented macho reputation of that scene. However, a few harcore/sXe bands have integrated emotional lyrics, octave chords, and a softer vocal delivery into their music. For example, listen to the later Turning Point, Endpoint, and early Lifetime records, as well as newer groups like Falling Forward, Split Lip, Shai Hulud. Many people with only a hardcore/sXe background consider these emo-inflected HC/sXe bands to be "emo" bands, but recognize the "emocore" category as detailed above as poppier and more rock versions of hardcore. They also tend to classify straight emo and hardcore emo as simply punk (based mostly on the low production values and the lack of heavy rhythms present in all HC/sXe). "Emo" is a catchall category for this scene - they classify almost all indie rock (Seam, June of '44, Codeine, etc.) and post-hardcore (Quicksand, Shift, Texas Is The Reason, Sensefield) as emo as well!
Screamo - I mentioned this under the "emo" section, however in recent years some bands have sort of re-integrated some diverse emo influences. With the band Saetia, for instance, you'll hear heavy fast screamed hardcore parts, with abrupt starts and stops and guitar focus more from the classic emo side, and quiet, twinkly melodic parts in between. "Screamo" has become sort of a catchall modern category for all of this for the few new bands playing this style, often used by younger fans who weren't around when the screaming vocal thing was new and unique.
Emo - short for "emotional." Emo is a broad title that covers a lot of different styles of emotionally-charged punk rock. This site is intended to introduce the reader to all the common styles, describe them musically, and give ideas about the essential records of all those styles. You will be an expert in emo, in the broad sense, after reading this website.
These are what I consider to be the essential records that define what this genre "emo" is about. Not all of these are still in print, some have been repackaged from their original form, and many are available on vinyl records only. These are simply my picks for the records that were not only great, but original and influential on the development of the emo style. You may disagree about the importance of some, and think others missing from the list.
So this is my attempt to delineate the history of emo into a few discrete trends and geographical hubs. None of this will be all-inclusive, but should give you an basic idea of what happened when, where, and by whom. Under construction.
After Minor Threat broke up in late 1983, the vibrant DC hardcore-punk scene that exploded in 1981 seems to start to run out of steam and fresh ideas within the established DC hardcore sound. The wistful, posthumous Minor Threat 7" "Salad Days" comes out in 1984 and drives the final nail into the coffin of DC hardcore punk. Bands all over the country begin casting about for new things to do : DRI and Bad Brains start going cheeze-metal, New York bands start doing tough-guy mosh, 7Seconds goes jangly U2 alternative, etc. The prevailing change in D.C. is toward melodic rock with punk sensibilities.
1984 marks the release of Zen Arcade by Minneapolis band Hüsker Dü, documenting their new mature sound combining furious, puternice vocal delivery and driving guitars with slowed-down rockish tempos and more-complex, melodic songwriting.
In spring 1984, a new band called Rites Of Spring forms from members of The Untouchables/Faith and Deadline. This band retains a punk speed and frenzy, but brings a totally new vocal approach to the mix. Singer Guy Picciotto keeps an out-of-breath punk style most of the time, at times delving into intensely personal lyrics dripping with emotion and sweat. His voice breaks down at climactic moments into a throaty, gravelly, passionate moan.
The summer of 1985 becomes known as "Revolution Summer" when a new wave of rock-tempo, melody based, sung-vocal bands forms out of the DC punk musician pool with diverse rock sounds - Three, Gray Matter, Soulside, Ignition, Marginal Man, Fire Party, Rain, Shudder to Think, etc. Few bands retain the fast hardcore punk-based sound with the new vocal approach, Dag Nasty being the notable exception.
Minor Threat's singer, Ian MacKaye's, sings for a band called Embrace (compare the band name to earlier DC bands Minor Threat, Void, and State Of Alert) whose lyrics are emotional and deeply self-questioning, but still clear and unambiguous. Musically, the group (formed mostly of ex-Faith members) writes midtempo, somewhat jangly music with a lot of pop guitar hooks. MacKaye's vocals retain his trademark bold enunciation, with only occasional sparks of emotive delivery.
These bands' sound eventually becomes known as the classic "D.C. sound." Some of it is derisively labeled "emo," as shorthand for "emotional." One account has this term first appearing in a Flipside interview with Ian MacKaye. Shortly thereafter DC bands aquire the tag "emo-core."
Slightly later (1986), some bands begin to focus on the "emo" element itself. The Hated in Annapolis (near D.C.) seem to be the first post-Rites of Spring to do this. Shortly thereafter, Moss Icon appears in in the same town. Moss Icon strips the "emo" element down to the core, and adds a great deal of intricate, arpeggiated guitar melody (by Tonie Joy, later of Born Against, Lava, Universal Order of Armageddon, etc.) 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.
Moss Icon, as a relatively well-known band that toured some, introduces the punk scene to music that has core emphasis on emotion instead of punk energy. As such, I consider them the starting point for the emo movement, not Rites of Spring as is more commonly asserted. Later emo bands draw heavily from the Moss Icon dynamics, guitar style, and vocal delivery.
Some pointers about emo fashions (above simple, universal hardcore attire)
the Emo Romulan look - short, thick, greasy, dyed-black hair with bangs cut straight across the forehead, and cut high over the ears. Someone from Time In Malta recently described to me the San Diego Crimson Curse scene as "Spock Rock."
actually, any greasy dyed black hair. Bangs in front and spikes in back is very emo too.
horn-rim glasses, or at least thick black frames.
bald head, furry face (boys only). Goes especially well with horn-rims.
heavy slacks, often too tight and short.
thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children's size t-shirts with random slogans. Button the collar if you got one.
clunky black shoes
scarves
gas station jackets. This has diffused a lot over the years though, it's no longer exclusive to emo kids. Nowadays, you may want to select a nice corduroy denim jacket.
also classic outerwear but quickly diffusing to normality: the famous Blue Peacoat
barrettes on boys
make-up (male or female)
too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters
argyle
anorexic thinness. Veganism helps here.
some submissions I've received:
This is the kind of letter I like getting: "hi. like the fashion page, just one question. what is the correct emo tennis shoe? i must ask this question. for most kids its low top chuck taylors, or converse jack purcells...but some kids get away with some running shoes. thats an odd twist to things if you consider that running shoes are pretty tuff guy like. also common is the low top "old school" vans....but for the vegan kids....its just not possible. i would like to hear some insight in this. also...though i reside in PA now i'm especially an expert in OH fashion......as such i must report on the obvious trend of dark colored sweaters with strips across the chest, not to be mistaken with similar styles available at old navy....the sweaters come in darker colors and are thrift store finds exclusively, like the sports t-shirts with numbers on the back. gotta have those. sometimes you can keep your keys in a big ol' key ring (janitor style) like the spanakorzo guy, as opposed to the more obvious choice of a wallet with a chain. dark denim (remember to roll up those pants at least once, but not more than twice). hooded sweatshirt? try to make it a black zip up one, with a metal zipper please. though stars were big, very big...along with kid like graphics (like the kids playing with slot cars in the cap n' jazz record) in '96 or so...you still gotta' represent!"
Keith wrote: "fashion: you forgot one thing about a lot of emo kids: they usually have their former sxe identity draped at their feet (i wax poetic), a cigarette in hand, and a new-found fascination with domestic beer (bottle often in hand lacking cigarette)...there's also a high amount of metal-related t-shirts (iron-on metallica and iron maiden designs), sheerly for the kitsch in it..."
"emo fashion from el paso: started by At The Drive In and i'm sure soon to be a trend: AFROS"
True, although I think KARP got there first...
The emo jacket is a sort of work jacket that you can only find in army-navy or thrift stores. Usually in earth tones, gray, brown, maybe a navy blue with stripes. All style. The emo jacket is a product of the nineties. Popularized by the kings of cool, Nation of Ulysses and others, Antioch Arrow, Hoover, Rocket From the Crypt. Never overdone. Maybe a patch or two, but placed strategically with the utmost intention. A patch on an emo jacket is not to be ignored.
The emo jacket radiates an underlying assertion, "I'm cooler than you." It's a sublime statement of intuitive knowledge, internal hipness. It whispers, it doesn't scream. It doesn't have to."
emo alphabet
A is for Alone, emos are known for this, but sometimes its just to go free of problems and sway with the music.
B is for Band, many emos are in a garage band.
C is for caring. Emos arent afraid to show their emotions, and they say I love you and mean it. They are much more caring then the modern jock azz.
D is for delicate. Emos are the very rare type of boy that will give you a gentle kiss and be happy, rather then digging into the pants or bra.
E is for emotion, emos show them very well and don't hide them at all. You don't have to go through days to know their personality.
F is for fuckers, all of those people who call all emos 'Gay cutters' Get your facts straight kids.
G is for grand, emos are truly a grand sight for your eyes!
H is for heart. Amazing! Girls listen to this, most emos auctually have one! O_O
I is for intimate. Trust me, emos can be very intimate.

K is for Kiss, and may I mention, they are great at it!
L is for love. Not lust like other guys, but love.
M is for make-up. Some emos wear eyeliner and black nailpolish. This is not gay or bi. Its just hott. Get over yourselves people and accept the truth.
N is for Never. He never hugs to tight, he never walks away when you cry on his shoulder, he never presses you to do something for his pleasure.
O is for only you. If you date one of these rare boys, it is a rare occurence if they cheat.
P is for paper heart. It takes alot for one of these guys to trust a girl, if that girl hurts him, you can almost hear the shredder coming out.
Q is for quest. These boys know their goal in life, and they go toward it.
R is for rain. Rain plays a big part- often they write poems when it rains. Also, their beautiful hair looks complet in the rain.
S is for she. There are also such a thing as emo girls, some people don't understand.
T is for true. Forget Rihanna and her songs for a moment people. Emos are very true, and loyal. Kindof like a trustworthy dog. O_o
U is for unknown. Most of the 'real emos' are unknown, as there are way too many posers out there.
V is for Vishue, and many other bands that you never heard of. These boys find the unknown, and they treasure it.
W is for Why. Why yet another label? And where. Where did it all start?
X is for XXX. Emos make a new much more modern and better definition for XXX.
Y is yum. Just... yum.
Ce inseamna emo pana la urma?
Desi unii nu cred ca stiu…majoritatea cred ca emo vine de la “emotional”..dar de fapt emo vine la de un gen de muzica numit “emotive hardcore”
Muzica “emo” si cei care cantau acest gen muzical erau destul de dramatici,
Pana la urma porecla de emo ..a fost adresata de punkeri altor punkeri care erau mult mai sensibili.
In fine…muzica asta emo a murit acu o 100 de ani..si a fost inlocuita de tipi cu mult eyeliner care au venele taiate sau se saruta cu alti baieti.
Toti cei care asculta acest gen cred ca sunt mai sensilbili..si neintelesi de cei din jur…gen my life is no meaning..so hai sa ne taiem venele.it’s fun:|
Cei care critica acest gen..spun ca daca esti emo ori esti gay…or fuckted up..si ca emo e o prescurtare a “stupid self-absorbed attention whore who listens to bad music” or “”walking failures at life” or simply “looser”
Ideea e ca au inceput sa apara si prin Romania “emo kidz”..numai k unii habar nu au de unde vine “emo”..ei sunt asa doar pt ca e la moda..
Cum arata un emo?
-Deobicei par drept…cu bretonul pe ochi..uneori se ajunge chiar la :
(omg)
-imbracaminte gen punk: colorat,conversi,bentite mari si ,margelute etc
-baietii emo=fags (well mai mult astia din afara ca la noi nu prea am auzit..dar cine stie(!)
Btw look at this…un grup cu emo boys..kissing
-Au o obsesie sa-si fac poze in baie..daca nu ai o poza in baie you’re not emo..
-Altceva la moda..cum sunt suparati tristi (like all the time-ok am inteles esti adoloescent ..traiesti anumite chestii ….uneori triste dar lasa domne venele alea in pace ca nu ti-au facut nimic..chiar crezi ca rezolvi cv facand asta?)
-Considera lumea-stupida..like no one understands me
-Duc o viata grea..prea numeroase griji ( ok nu sunt optimista nici eu ..dar incerc sa vad si partea plina a paharului cand paharul se intampla sa fie gol)
-Se machiaza.se dau cu oja( mai ales baietii)-se pare ca eyelinerul e f la moda printre baieti
Pana la urma ca o mica concluzie: Nu am nimic cu acesti pusti.Multi tineri sunt in cautare de identitate..si incearca sa copieze…dar asta numai ca sa ii accepte societatea.Pana la urma anturajul te educa,situatiile prin care treci,oameni pe care ii cunosti pe parcursul vietii.
Depinde mult acest tip de educatie…poti deveni ..dunno..rapper,houser,manelist..rocker..punker..etc
Intre-un fel sa privim si partea pozitiva:ar fii fost mai bine sa se izoleze in mulțimea lui?clar nu…pt ca intervin alt fel de probleme.
cand apare ceva nou pe piata ..toata omenirea critica..nimeni nu incearca sa inteleaga..
Pana la urma e doar o perioda prin care treci acum cand esti adoloescent..
Timpul asta trece..conteaza cu ce ramai pe urma..conteaza echilibrul..sa nu exagerezi
Si dupa cum zic mereu” stop being normal u scare me”…nimeni nu e normal..toti avem comportamente unice si ciudate..tampenii sau nu…fetisuri..ticuri .vicii..suntem dependenti de ceva..unii au hobby-uri ciudate pt tine, dar”normale” pt el:dunno unuia ii place sa stea non stop pe mess..altu e obsedat de soții si masini..altul ii place sa bea…..etc
Crezand ca esti normal..te inseli..e decat o chestie sociala..te face sa te simti bine..cand stii ca te incadrezi in societate..ai un plus de incredere
incepem cu o parere generala, a la carte: Wikipedia spune ca emo e un termen prescurtat din emotional (derivat din genul muzical, știut ca si emotional hardcore) si este asociat cu moda si atitudinea emo. Adesea el este folosit cu sens periorativ pentru a descrie starea melancolica si nefericita, deprimarea, (dorinta de suicid) etc a celor care asculta acest gen de muzica. Totul a inceput prin anii 80, cand Rites of Spring au fost aclamati in timpul concertelor cu “emo”. Dashboard Confessional au fost dintre primii care au utilizat versuri in melodii catalogate ca “emo”, cu impact major asupra adolescentilor confruntati pentru prima data cu viata si dragostea. Dar trupe ca si My Chemical Romance sau Panic! At the Disco au fost cele care au generat stilul de imbracaminte si machiaj. (Ceva in gen: ochelari cu rame negre, machiaj cu negru si par care sa acopere cel putin jumatate de fata… conform urbandictionary )
unii sunt de parere ca n`ar trebui sa`i bagam pe toti in aceeasi oala..adica bun, sunt emo care chiar nu mai au limite, au ajuns sa`si mutileze corpul si sa nu`si mai distinga sexul dar sunt si emo “normali”, in limitele rezonabilului. Bine, eu nu fac parte din categoria anti-emo nici din cea opusa ei. Multi au prieteni emo si spun ca sunt niste persoane extraordinare; nu sunt asa, cel mai bine ar fi sa invatam sa ne acceptam asa cum suntem si sa nu mai facem discriminari, ca astea sunt pana la urma replicile de 2 bani pe care le tot vedem la adresa emo`kids…sa fii emo nu inseamna neaparat sa te imbraci in negru, sa porti converse sau sa te tunzi asa cum sunt majoritatea…sa fii emo inseamna sa fii EMOtional…
“emo person” este cineva atent cu emotiile sale, sensibil, timid, introvertit, broken-hearted, inchis in sine, fara un scop anume, cu tendinte de suicid si adesea tacut.
personalitatea Emo este adesea legata de a scrie poezii pe tema depresiei, confuziei, singuratatii, furiei, toate rezultand din neputinta lumii de a intelege autorul. Poezia Emo foloseste o combinatie de : ton foarte emotional, constiinta scrierii, rima alba sau simpla,referinte la adresa carnii, in rarisim a inimii, folosirea accentuata a cuvintelor intunericului, negative, de o puternica presiun legate de timp si dragoste, neatentia pentru gramatica sau scriere. Tema vietii in durere este cea mai comuna. Multi au tendinte de a`si face rau, taindu`se sau arzandu`se, mutilandu`se. Emo au de întocmai nume pe Internet continand linii de x`uri si aluzii la sensuri poetice, ironice sau clisee.
Bineinteles, ființele emo pot fi asa de dragalase si simpatice, incat nu`ti dai seama ce inseamna pana la urma a fi emo. E un fel de a fi, e o cultura. Sunt discriminati la fel ca punkerii, manelistii etc. Fiecare cu stilul sau….oricum. Fiecare are componentă sa buna si partea sa proasta. Tu ce crezi despre fenomenul EMO?
