I thought rap came from rnb which means rythem and blues and then it branched off to rythem and poetry when blues started getting faised out..? Did some music at school ? Never heard of emo music.. So there can be emo pop emo rock and emo rap ?? Or is it just emo bands...? Doesn't make sense to me I only know of pop rock (all sorts) rap rnb goth heavy metal.. If emo wants to take over goth I think that's wrong because at least goth doesn't mean emotional.. There's way more to gothics than that.. J x
What the hell are you talking about? I wrote a comprehensive background of emo, and you still missed it. |  | |

I am the only person to make a legit reply to this thread, a comprehensive reply at that. This guy could not even be bothered to read it before asking the same stupid questions I had already answered.
Whats your beef with me? still butt-hurt? Go take a long walk off of a short pier. | | | |

I thought it was funny when I was reading the Youtube comments of a video of Tonight Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins. It's amazing how many emo kids said that the Smahing Pumpkins where ripping off Panic at the Disco.
That's a riot! SP did heavily influence 90's emo, but rofl @ idiot kids. | | | |

Completely unnecessary.

In response to you...You fail. There is plenty of rap that is music, try some cunninglynguist, or MF Doom. Rap means Rythem and Poetry, and that's what it is, it fulfills all of the criteria to be music
"Vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm."-The American HeritageŽ Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.
As far as what emo is, here it goes. Emo is NOT short for emotional, it is an abbreviation of Emotive Hardcore. Emo was a genre of music LONG before a style,or it's current musical incarnation.
In the late 80's a member of the DC hardcore scene formed Rights of Spring, influencing Ian Makay(of Minor Threat) to form Embrace, the second true emo band. The pace of the music was slowed a little and there a little more focus of melody, and as could be expected, the lyrics became less agressive and more personal. The change in lyrical content was healvily influenced by Husker Du's 1986 hardcore album Zen Arcade, which focused more on personal issues rather than raw anger at society and politics.
By the early to mid nineties there had been a shift in sound in the genre. At that point there was a growing influence from alternative/indie bands Dinosaur JR. and others. Perfect examples of this era of the genre are Cap'n Jazz and Sunny Day Real Estate.
I have no comment to make concerning emo past the mid nineties, because after that point it went down hill quick.
Oh sorry !! Yes it does answer my question. Does it really mean emotive hardcore ? That's a first. If what your saying is true then ok please don't get angry !! I read it and I sort of believe it.. I just didn't grow up hearing emo as a genre.. I was confused about it.. No reason to tell someone to take a long walk off a short pier !! =(

Doesnt really matter to me anymore, there's good music, and then there's bad music.
Good point, a lot of bands are cross genre such as Cake.
can't classify everything, it would take too long 
I just can't stand to leave a field blank.

I suppose, not that I really even care much. Its just id never heard of emo being a type of music before. Just quite interested to know what it was. I thought it didn't mean emotional but then again there is a lot of different views.. So I give up with it lol its not really faising me anymore lol.

Yeah well I just looked up emotive hardcore and all the mainstream "emo" bands are not included in emotive hardcore because emotive hardcore is not all about emotional music so really there is emotive hardcore and emo as in emotional.. So there's 2 one is mainstream crap and the other one is emotive hardcore which isn't very common.
The s*** they call emo now isn't even worth bothering to define, it's crap. | | | |
