Whats all this emo business anyway? Who the fuck came up with that like?

I think it comes from the early nineties, when some American Hardcore bands began making some more freaky, emotional , experimental type of hardcore that became called "emocore" (threadbare, 108, iconoclasm, chokehold). Later on some of those bands evolved in more "emotional" pop punk bands and the core was left away : "emo" (hot water music, at the drive in, boy sets fire...)
