What is “Emo”?
Emo is a style of rock music characterized by expressive, often confessional lyrics. He appeared in the mid-1980s, evolving from the hardcore punk movement in Washington, D.C., where he was known as “emotional hardcore” or “emocore”. The pioneers of the genre are bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace.
Emo became a mainstream culture in the early 2000s, with the success of Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and the emergence of the screamo subgenre. Following this success, many emo bands signed contracts with major record labels and the style became a salable product. [1] Towards the end of the 2000s, emo popularity began to decline. Some bands moved away from their emo “roots” and others fell apart. An underground “revival” of the genre took place in 2010, with some bands using the sound and emo aesthetics of the 1990s.
Subgenres such as emo-pop and emo-violence (a style of screamo and power violence) have also evolved from emo.
The term “emo” has been applied by critics and journalists to several artists, including distinguished performers and bands with multiple platinum, styles, and disparate sound. Emo has been associated with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or anxious. It has also been associated with stereotypes such as depression, self-harm, and suicide.
