Emo is a lifestyle for certain people who are overly emotional about things and basically hate life because they think everything in the world works against them. These people normally have dark emotions and contimplate suicide constantly.


From what you are reffering to is the music. Emo music is basically the same thing. The lyrics consist of overly emotional outcomes to situations and also contimplate death or harm to themselves.

Screamo is the same as emo, but constant screaming over the mic.

Screamo, is basicly a type of music genre reffering to emo, just with screaming.

Example- http://www.purevolume.com/underoath

Emo,, is like a lifestyle, such as mob said(Though he said somewhat of the stereotypical version..), and is a music genre, short for "Emotional"

Ex of emo band- http://www.purevolume.com/anberlin

Is there a non-stereotypical version?

If it didn't fit the stereotype, it would be a different lifestyle.

I never heard the word Emo until Weezer got really big. Would they be the ones that started it all ????

I would think that Trivium is Screamo, If that's the case the CD is now being used as a coaster for my beers.
Sorry , I know alot of people like Trivium.........

I play guitar and write suicide notes, I must be emo.
I dye my hair, and polish my toes, I must be emo.
