what's causing the confusion is that almost nobody is familiar with both definitionsPerpetual Catatonia said:Emo (Old definition) - A genre of music. "Emo" is short for "Emotionally driven hardcore punk rock" or just "Emotional Hardcore".
Emo (New definition) - Now a stereotype/fad. Someone is "Emo" when they act like (yes, "act like") they are depressed, wear certain things, (Girl pants, sweaters, thick rimmed glasses.) and have ridiculously styled hair. "Emo" kids don't necessarily listen to "Emo" music.
