Emotive, is music that formed around the 80's, & one band most widely used as an example is Rites Of Spring. It doesn't have Anything to do with Style for the most part. Panic! at the Disco, & Fallout boy, Are NOT Emo.

PS. People who cut their wrists, & act Depressed, are not 'Emo'*

I totally agree with you

Ok...

Punk, emo and screamo are three totally different genres

- Punk was about rebellion, fighting both "the man" and the corperate, up-your-own-arseiness of heavy metal, it spawned hardcore which was a fightback to the places that wouldn't give punk it's own places to play gigs and with it came the DIY ethic of "if we can't go to the gig, we'll bring the gig to us"

- Emo grew in the 1980's out of punk's hardcore scene, it became punk and hardcore's emotional, timid cousin and was favourite of kids who didn't fit in and didn't see the upside of punk or hardcore.

- Screamo is a cross between hardcore (well, metalcore) and emo but it fails to be either... It think it's hardcore crossed with black metal but really it's a jumped up child who wants attention.
It's

Moss Icon
Funeral Dinner
Gray Matter
Hot Cross
Off Minor
Indian Summer
Sleepytime Trio

[Luke of Metal]

And Mudvayne invented the term Mathcore it means the time signatures change but add up properly like maths

I did not realize it had been around for so long I thought EMO was a phenomena from the last 3 years or so or at least I had not heard or seen anything about it must have just got popular I guess.

[The-cute-red-hat]

Noppers. i'm emo peoples ! Hacve anything to say say it to me! And I'll give you something to talk about. yes there's good emo bands. And for wanta be emo...get a life. A happy one.

[Luke of Metal]

Emo now may be short for emotive rock but the true definition is "emotional hardcore" which was an offshoot of punk rock in the 80s...

If you don't know those bands, at least get to know what you're talking about before you start hating.
