The story behind “Emo” and what “Emo” really is, so for all you little teeny bopper teens who don’t know what the latest ‘trendy fashion statement’ ‘Emo’ is, read on and I will explain…
“Emo” is only one of the many sub-cultures that have been misunderstood and criticised more so than any other sub-culture and race combined. Study has shown that “Emo’s” are more hated than both the “Jewish and Black” population of the 1940’s and 50’s, who suffered greatly due to their race.
Although the word “Emo” is often mistaken as being a shortened form of the word “emotional”, this is a myth and an incorrect falsity in itself. “Emo was originally the abbreviation for the music genre “emotive-hardcore”.
“Emo” as a social group started in the 1980’s, and it originally did not describe a whiney, depressed dress code. “Emo” was a music genre often credited to the band ‘Rites of Spring’. The term “Emo” was generally derived and used as a form of insult from the more “hard-core” in the music scenes, as they saw and believed that crying/moaning/etc on stage to be particularly weak and pathetic.
Every song, every band, every musical genre has its loyal fans, just as much as they have their opposing dose of criticism. “Emo”, old-school “Emo” was a music genre, so of course the appearance of “Anti-Emo” people was to be expected. What was not however, expected, was that the insult “Emo” would indivertibly create the “Emo-scene”, a hoard of infectious, pathetically irritative group of attention seeking dimwits.
It was these little kids who created a horrific, cheap imitation of the punk/Goth style of clothing, to create their own ‘fashion’ of tight black jeans, (commonly known as skinnies). Tight black retro T-shirts, the stereotypical “emo” hair-cut, (covering two thirds of the face), some badges thrown in for good measure, oh, and why not chuck in some wrist slitting? These little fags created the “emo scene”. Now I admit that not all ‘Emo’s are pathetic little whiney kids cut themselves to pieces to try and gain attention and sympathy from the public because they think they’re life sucks so much. But the stereotypical “emo” you fund clustering around in conforming social groups in the city, sadly enough, often are.
I’ve asked a few numbers of various people what they think ‘emo’ stands for, and what they think that ‘Emo’ is. Some of the answers are far to inappropriate for this article, but some of the other more common replies were, ‘Emo’s sucks, go rip them all to shreds until they’re all extinct’ and others were, ‘emo, is just a form of emotional punk’, ‘Emo is just a music genre that’s it, nothing more nothing less’ ‘Emo doesn’t exist, its not a fashion or a scene, it’s music, so the ‘Emo’s’ you are asking after are just Punk/Goth posers’. ‘Emo’s are deep sensitive quiet people who have a need to be appreciated’.
Everybody has different opinions on what ‘Emo’ is, there are the anti-emo ‘societies’ and then the ‘Emo scenes’, there are the clueless people who have no idea what ‘Emo’ is, and then there is the Emotive-Hardcore music, almost the founder of what ‘emo’ really is.
