Emo is a somewhat ambiguous slang term most frequently used to describe or refer to the fashion, style, attitude or overall subculture linked to post-hardcore fashion and its subculture. Emo may also describe emo music or a general emotional state (as in to "feel emo". It is also, sometimes pejoratively, used to identify someone fitting a particular emo stereotype or category, or of being overly-emotional.The term's definition is the subject of debate.

Music

Main article: Emo (music)

The term emo originated in the 1980s to describe a genre of music stemming from the emotional punk scene in Washington, D.C. Early bands labeled emo (or sometimes emocore, short for emotional hardcore) in this scene included Rites of Spring and Embrace. The term emo as a music genre has become more broad over time and now is loosely understood to define rock music with emotionally-based lyrics or effect. It is used to describe a broad, poorly defined group of bands that might include nearly any popular (or unpopular) rock band. Arguable examples of bands labeled as such are Hawthorne Heights, Innovator, AFI and My Chemical Romance.

Personality

When referring to a person's personality and attitude, most definitions of emo hold that an emo person is emotionally candid, sensitive, shy, introverted, glum, and quiet.Depression and broken-heartedness are sometimes used to describe the emo personality. The factuality of broken-heartedness as a personality trait stems from the opinion that emo music contains multiple references to unrequited love, emotional and relationship problems.

Poetry

Emo personality is also often connected with writing poetry that addresses: confusion, depression, loneliness, the futility of life, and anger, all resulting from the world's inability to understand the author. Emo poetry usually combines a highly emotional tone and stream of consciousness writing with a simple (ABAB) or nonexistent rhyme scheme, references to the flesh (especially the heart), heavy use of macabre or depressing adjectives, and concern over the mutability of time, love, or both. A common theme is the author's feeling of emotional pain, or how misunderstood the author feels.

Fashion

By almost all current definitions, Emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straightened hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands (or other designed shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and, if they wear glasses, they will often be thick, black horn-rimmed glasses. Emo fashion has changed with time; early trends included haircuts similar to those worn by the Romulans and Vulcans in Star Trek, tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets (often called gas station jackets).

Criticism

In the years since emo music's rise in popularity, it has attracted severe criticism. Emo has been characterized as a fad that will be discarded and forgotten in the near future.] Critics cast the fashion as "embarrassing," and the people as imagining or pretending that they lead harsh, painful lives when they actually live in comfortable homes.

Members of the emo subculture are portrayed as melodramatic, self-pitying teenagers who pour their efforts into writing depressing poetry. The current emo subculture has been called a "sad caricature" of what it once was.Some have accused emo of celebrating self-injury or suicide, which those who do usually refer to "helping ease the pain". However, physical trauma triggers the release of beta-endorphins, which enhances relaxation and reduces physical pain. Some assert that within some emo circles, many pretend to be suicidal and self-harming as a way to gain acceptance, regardless of whether it is true or not.

Most people have a horribly limited idea of what emo is, simply because the most important records in the development of emo were largely released on vinyl, in small numbers, and with limited distribution. These were however very influential, so nowadays you have the situation that a lot of kids listen to third- and fourth-generation emo styles without even knowing it. I hope to expose such people to a wealth of great preceding music that's getting easier to find all the time...

I'm going to split up the mass of "emo" bands into a few distinct genres. Like any categorization effort, there will be exceptions, crossovers, and tangential relations. That's fine. The intent is only to lay out some general trends, general notes on sounds, musical and lyrical themes, and how to listen for them.

Some notes on nomenclature. There isn't a real consensus on what "emo" and "emocore" are, or if they are even different. It's pretty clear these days what you're talking about with terms like "punk," "postpunk," "no-wave," "hardcore punk," "old-school/new-school," etc (although the difference between "hardcore punk" and "hardcore" is lost on a lot of people - "hardcore punk" is punk rock made heavier, faster, louder; "hardcore" is what happened after the hardcore punks realized they didn't have to sound like punk rock anymore - still heavy, fast, loud, but with a different foundation.) I hope to draw clear distinctions between my categories, assign them names, and use them consistently. That's all that language is.

"emo." Moss Icon, the Hated, Silver Bearings, Native Nod, Merel, Hoover, Current, Indian Summer, Evergreen, Navio Forge, Still Life, Shotmaker, Policy of Three, Clikatat Ikatowi, Maximillian Colby, Sleepytime Trio, Noneleftstanding, Embassy, Ordination of Aaron, Floodgate, Four Hundred Years, Frail, Lincoln, Julia, Shroomunion, some early Unwound, etc.

-Started in the DC area in 1987/88 with bands inspired by that area's post-hardcore acceptance of new, diverse sounds within the punk scene. Moves onward to New Jersey and California, then onward to Philly, Richmond VA, a bit in Canada, a bit in Illinois, and not much else.

-Musically there's a lot dynamics between ultra-soft / whispered vocals / twinkly guitar bits and full-bore crashing / twin Gibson SG guitar roaring / screaming vocals. One of the most recognizable and universal elements of emo shows up in the guitar sound of this style: the octave chord. Octave chords give this style a high-pitched, driving urgency and a very rich texture. The Gibson SG / Marshall JCM-800 guitar combo and Ampeg 400 bass amp is the classic emo gear. Solid-state amps are unheard of.

-The vocal style is usually much more intense than emocore, ranging from normal singing in the quiet parts to a kind of pleading howl to gut-wrenching screams to actual sobbing and crying. Straight-edge boys tend to hate that part, and much derision is levelled at emo bands on this point. Most emo bands tend to have some epic-length songs that build up very slowly to a climax where someone cries. If you're receptive to this kind of thing, it can be extremely powerful and moving, since it's very hard to fake that kind of pure emotion convincingly.

-Lyrics tend toward somewhat abstract poetry, and are usually low in the mix and hard to decipher. Record inserts have lyrics, but often so disorganized and haphazard that they're very difficult to read [unless the record was released on Ebullition Records, in which case there are many inserts on small, brightly-colored papers containing poetic writing from the label owner and all his friends about disillusionment, anger, and things that happened when the writer was four. Such writing is known as emo writing, and there are many, many zines just like that]. Said inserts are almost always done with antique typewriters or miniscule hand-lettering, containing no punctuation or capitalization. Often the only information about the band listed is the band members' first names. Another trait of really emo records is to have no information whatsoever about song titles.

-Artwork, too, tends toward abstract black-and-white photographs of rusted/broken things (especially machinery), drawings of flowers, and pictures of old men, little boys, and little girls. Lots of live photos indicates the band is probably from the East Coast, and probably listened to straight-edge at some point.

-Live emo bands tend to play with backs to the audience during the quiet parts. During the loud exploding parts, the musicans have a tendancy to jump and shake unpredicatable and knock things over - especially mike stands. Combine this with the fact that the singers often fail to make it to the mike in time to sing, and decide just to scream at the absolute top of their lungs wherever they are when the time comes, means that often entire shows will pass without the audience being able to hear the vocals. If, however, the band has a lot of screaming during the quiet parts, this can be an extremely powerful tactic.

-The is a particular emo dance sometimes seen in the audience at emo shows. It's known as "the emo tremble." The trembler clasps his/her hands together (wringing them from time to time), leans forward, bounces quickly on the balls of the feet, and shakes the upper torso in time to the music. Once in a while the trembler will grab the back of the head and rock back and forth. The more the person likes the band, the more he or she will double over. Also, a reader submits: "i think you forgot the "emo chest tap" or just "the chest tap". this goes on a lot in the northeast...i particularly remember lots of chest tapping occuring at shotmaker shows."

-Commercialism is very much repressed in this emo scene. Few bands make t-shirts. Most records are put out on very small, home-run labels or on the band's private label. Records are sold cheap (the classic pricing scheme was $3 7"s, $5 LPs, and $8 CDs. Inflation has driven these prices up in recent years). Shows are univerally $5 or less, and touring bands often are lucky to get gas money (despite the promoter usually not paying local bands).

-There is also a bias against digital technology within most bands. Emo recordings tend to be analog only, cheaply done, with a tendency toward mostly live tracking with few overdubs. Equipment is heavily weighted toward tube gear. Until recently, most emo records were made on vinyl only. CD reissues of broken-up bands' discographies are becoming common, though.

-Lastly, emo bands tend not to last long. It was not uncommon an emo band's only recording to come out posthumously and much delayed. Obviously, this puts a damper on the distribution of the records since no one in the band puts much effort into promotion.

-a modern perspective: the term "screamo" is used a lot nowadays to describe bands that are based most heavily on this kind of music.

Emo Music

Emotional-punk music evolved out of the punk movement spreading throughout the United States in the 1990s. The same "shun authority& approach applies to both emo and traditional punk music, and both share the high energy level characteristic of punk and post-punk material.

Emo differs from traditional punk in that an extreme emphasis is placed on raw emotion, which is conveyed through heartbroken and sometimes angry lyrics (as in "screamo" and through emotionally-charged chord progressions and high-energy beats. The music is designed to be highly dramatic, taking the listener through a series of powerful ups and downs with constant lyrical reminders of the heartbreak and pain the music is meant to reflect. Harmony is used more so in emo than in punk music, particularly to accent certain words and concepts, and emo music on the whole tends to emphasize melody and lyricism, certainly more so than does traditional punk music, which is designed to anger and move to action rather than depress or emphasize vulnerability.

Perhaps the most distinct difference between emo and traditional punk music is the former's repeated use of loud-soft contrasts, reflective of the singer's mood changes between heartbreak, anger and confusion. Before emo, almost all punk music held a steady volume perpetuated by rhythm guitar. Emo often cuts the rhythm guitar suddenly, opting for a more intimate organ, bells or other softer, more contemplation-provoking type of sound.

Emo Fashion

Emo dress is characterized as distinctly non-fashionable, keeping with the movement's theme of showing little to no interest in all aspects of society. Emo individuals perceive themselves to be outcasts and dress accordingly so as to avoid any appearance of attempting conformity and falling short.

Girls tend to have short, dyed-black hair with the bangs cut straight across, usually done by the individual herself or by a friend, shunning the processed, rubber-stamped appearance of mainstream hairstyles. Jewelry, including facial and other body piercings, is quite common and is kept as natural as is possible -- wooden and hemp accessories are extremely popular, and are, again, often homemade. Clothes follow suit, ranging from thrift store finds to handsewn skirts and shirts, often comprised of multiple fabrics combined into one article of clothing. Vintage articles are trendy for members of the emo subculture, including 1970s-style shoes and jackets.

Emo boys often sport shaggy locks, although for males less emphasis is placed on dying the hair black. Men tend to wear too-small t-shirts and baggy pants, often with a studded black belt. The same preference for thrift goods applies, and jewelry still tends to be all-natural and as tight as is possible.

Girls and boys alike wear thick or horn-rimmed glasses and often carry backpacks or messenger bags littered with pins from assorted emo bands or bearing anti-establishment, pro-underground slogans. Emo dress tends to follow lines of nonconformity almost without exception, but individual styles may vary as long as they continue to emphasize secondhand goods or a general expression of indifference toward current fashion trends.

Emo Tips

� the Emo Romulan look - short, thick, greasy, dyed-black hair with bangs cut straight across the forehead, and cut high over the ears. Someone from Time In Malta recently described the San Diego Crimson Curse scene as "Spock Rock."

� actually, any greasy dyed black hair. Bangs in front and spikes in back is very emo too.

� horn-rim glasses, or at least thick black frames.

� bald head, furry face (boys only). Goes especially well with horn-rims.

� heavy slacks, often too tight and short.

� thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children's size t-shirts with random slogans. Button the collar if you got one.

� clunky black shoes

� scarves

� gas station jackets. This has diffused a lot over the years though, it's no longer exclusive to emo kids. Nowadays, you may want to select a nice corduroy denim jacket.

� also classic outerwear but quickly diffusing to normality: the famous Blue Peacoat

� barrettes on boys

� make-up (male or female)

� too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters

� argyle

� anorexic thinness. Veganism helps here.

� good source to get EMO T-shirts Punk Emo T shirts

� also Alternative T-shirts

Description of "Emo Girls"

That's what emo style is supposed to look like. Well, if that's true, then all boys and girls at school are emo, because, really, jeans, jackets, shirts and t-shirts with random slogans are all we teenagers wear. As for the so called emo hair styles, many boys at school have longer hair and since there's no definition for emo girl hair cuts, all non-blonde girls could be classified as emo! I wonder why people take the time to attack a fashion style like emo that is neither too revealing or too eccentric, just a bit pretentious, that's all, instead of letting it go.

Genul si subcultura Emo au devenit ceva greu de definit, din cauza acestui lucru e greu sa ii depistam radacinile.
Multi oamenii care pretind "ca stiu" citeaza scena D.C. harcore/punk si mai specific formatia Rites of Spring ca fondatorii Emo, dar istoria ne-a aratat ca e pripit sa acordam formarea unui gen unei anumite formatii.
Uitandu-ne la scenele muzicale de la sfarsitu anilor '80 si inceputul anilor '90 putem determina mai bine radacinile si influentele care au dat nastere si inca influenteaza genul si subcultura emo .
Inainte de a intelege de unde vine "emo" trebuie mai intai sa intelegem ce este astazi.
"Prefer sa ma gandesc la el (emo) ca un punk rock care e mai melodic si introspectiv/depresiv decat hardcore,dar totusi cu tendintele de energie primara si furie" (DeRogatis 1).

Acest gen de muzica a creat o subcultura si de atunci a crescut continuu adica de la inceputul anilor '90.Majoritatea copiilor arata ca tocilarii:poarta ochelarii negri,taioare lungi si haine ieftine.
Este foarte usor sa stereotipezi un pusti emo,desi ironic nu poti defini muzica emo. Cel mai bun mod de a descrie muzica emo este prin arpegiile usoare ale chitarilor cu vocalize usoare la care se da drumu intr o orchestra de chitari distorsionate si aduse dupa aceea din nou la partea usoara.Verusirle emo sunt in general foarte poetice si au o arie de la iubirea pierduta la credinte religioase sau alte subiecte emotionale,totusi, emo acopera in zilele noastre o mare varietate de formatii,de la melodii usoare a celor de la "American Football" la melodii hard de la "At the drive in" . Cum poate un gen asa de larg sa fie legat de ceva?
Problema e ca ce o persoana defineste ca muzica emo nu este aceiasi ca a urmatoarei,totul depinde de punctul tau de vedere.
Jason Gnewikow de la "The Promise Ring" zice foarte bine "As putea valida punctul ca suntem o formatie emo dar as putea trece si pe partea cealalta si sa il invalidez.Totul depinde de cine intreaba si perceptia lor despre asta" (DeRogatis 3).

Perceptia de fatada provine de la formatia "Sunny Day Real Estate",aparuta in Seattle in 1992,SDRE au combinat radacinele hardcore cu vocalize meloddice si un sentiment "rasarit".Lansarea in 1994 a albumului "Diary" avea sa schimbe pentru totodeauna scena emo.
"A aparut de nicunde si a schimbat vietile oamenilor" (Kurland 2) zice Jeremy Gomez,basist pentru formatia "Mineral" .
"Cei mai multi oamenii cand se gandesc la emo azi se gandesc la formatiile The Get UP Kids,Mineral,si altele ca provin din SDRE".
Multi oameni au zis ca Sunny Day nu ar fi emo deloc,ei sustin ca emo ar fi provenint din genul D.C gardcore/punk si ca formatia "Rites of Spring" a fost un grup hardcore melodic,dar ceea ce a diferentiat-o a fost subiectul cantecelor sale.In loc sa cante despre revolutie si manie,Picciotto canta despre iubirea pierduta si amintiri uitate.In timp ce ROS a facut mai melodic hardcore/punk, sigur nu au fost primi,si sigur nu au fost prima formatie harcore/punk care sa concentrat pe versuri de acest gen.
Tot curentul hardcore/punk mergea in aceasta directie.Un articol Rolling Stone din 1985 citeaza trendul crescand "Punkul primar a trecut..au invatat cum sa cante la instrumente,au descoperit solourile de chitara melodica si versuri care au un mesaj politic evident".
Formatii ca "Husker Du" au pionierat noile ramuri din hardcore/punk.
"In ultimii 2 ani,Husker Du a confundat punkul razboinic si liniile in principal de rock cu rapida evolutie a gunoiului,recombinat cu structuri de pop,si versuri cu sentimente speriate"
ROS a scos un album si un EP;au rezistat mai putin de 2 ani si au cantat in 14 concerte.Liderul trupei Guy Picciotta a facut dupa aceea formatia "Fugazi",care a preluat din ceea ce a pornit ROS si a dus mai departe.
Totusi doar "partial Fugazi a mostenit ROS si au continuat mai departe desi muzica lor nu a mai fost asa de sentimentala.Acest lucru va cadea in sarcina viitoarelor formatii care au adus curentul emo la ce este astazi".
Chiar daca influenta pe care "Fugazi" si "Washinghton D.C." asupra emo au fost substantiale,emo asa cum il stiam azi nu a derivat numai din hardcore.Ceea ce este mai deranjant este faptul ca cei care incearca sa ii faca o istorie curentului emo lasa o mare groapa in istorie intre "D.C. Dischord sound" care erau la jumatatea catre finalul anilor 80 si SDRE care erau la jumatatea anilor '90.
Dar cum a ajuns emo acolo?
Presupun ca a fost o casatorie intre hardcore si indie rock iar grunge-ul ( gen muzical ) pe post de tatal miresei,platind pt toata nunta.
In timp ce formatii ca "Rites of Spring" si "Hüsker Dü" explorau noi teritorii pe scena hardcore,o formatie numita "Sonic Youth" transforma scena indie/underground.
"Sonic Youth a folosit pe post de momeala acordurile de chitara,dar a combinat melodicitatea si structura conventionala cu luni pasaje de pauza,acorduri stranii de chitara si atmosfera infricosatoare".Releasul din 1987 a lui Sister va avea o mare influenta asupra albumului.

"Pe acest disc au folosit sunete calde si placute ca baza si din fiecare cantec curg sentimente. Efectul este recomfortant si primar,ca o mama care isi adorme copilul.Apoi dintr-o data ca in "(I got a ) catholic book",chitarile se dezlantuie si dau un alt sens termenului de pace in sentimente de frustrare distructiva.Versurile si tempoul se unesc creand un abis de sentimente. pacea se reduce;chitarile nu se mai aud incet pe masura ce dispar sentimentele..." (Neumann 1)

Sonic Youth a continuat sa redefineasca cantecul rock previzibil creand albume progresive in anii '80. scotand dupa Sister capodopera Daydream Nation
.Influenta lor asupra muzicii rock este aproape fara precedent,mai ales pt o formatie care nu a avut un hit in top 40.Totusi recunoasterea lor deplina nu avea sa vina pana la albumul Nirvana - Nevermind care a avut un mare efect in comunitatea rock.
O alta formatie care a redefinit scena indie in acest timp au fost "The Pixies".S-au format in 1986 cand liderul Charles Thompson a pus un anuntz in ziar in Boston pt "un basist pt Husker Du si Peter,Paul si Mary band".
Odata ce Charles a avut toti membrii necesari a format trupa The Pixies si a inceput sa scrie cantece si sa cante prin zona Bostonului.
Muzica lor este definita prin chitarile care pornesc si se opresc sub vocea lui Thompson el trecand "De la o soapta la urlet"
Cantecele celor de la The Pixies,scurte,incarcate,extrem de dinamice si subversive culturii pop-ului sa dovedit a fi un hotar in rockul alternativ a anilor 90.Dar mai important,The Pixies a pus baza pt exploziile alternative a inceputului anilor 90.Au fost una din primele formatii indie care au spart topurile pop dand sansa mai putinelor cunoscute formatii din acel timp sa se afirme.

Odata cu trecerea din anii 80 in anii 90 tineretul American cauta o noua directie in muzica. Copii erau obositi de toti asa zisi canteretii de pop dornici sa faca si ei un ban.A fost o reintoarcere la muzica buna,afisarea de putere bruta ca dovada a sinceritatii si adevarului a artistului.
Generation X au vrut muzica care sa le oglindeasca sentimentele.Au definit muzica anilor 90 cu un nervos metal/punk si rap,care reflectau sentimentele lor,frustrarile,disperarile,sperantele. Din nevoia de emotie,sentiment, muzica adevarata a devenit scena urii si in final cea emo.
Formatia din Seattle "SUP POP" a fost promotorul din spatele urii si mediilor emo.
"SUP POP a inregistrat primul succes cu Soundgarden". Au inceput sa cante si alte melodii asemanatoare in ani 90 si intr-un final au dat peste o formatie locala numita "Nirvana".Scena din Seattle si "SUP POP sound" a conturat o explozie globala de blugi rupti,tricouri cu lacrimi pe ele.La sfarsitul anilor 90,Sub Pop a ajutat la crearea unei imagini despre Seattle ca fiind un centru al scenei muzicale contopite si la moda.

Nirvana a fost formatia care a deschis lucrurile in Seattle. Dupa primul lor album, "Bleach", pe Sub Pop Records, Nirvana a mers intr-un tur european cu Sonic Youth. Sonic Youth a prezentat Nirvana lui David Geffen, proprietarul DGC.
Geffen a platit Sub Pop si i-a pus pe Nirvana sa semneze cu DGC. In 1991, Nirvana a lansat albumul lor cel mai cunoscut, Nevermind. "[Nevermind] a fost exprimarea perfecta a atitudinii muzicale punk, clasice, rock si pop - combinatie care nu a mai fost folosita, sau auzita pana atunci" (Gulla 1)

"La inceputul lui 1992, Nirvana a ajuns in varful topurilor. Intr-un an, formatia a vandut 10 milioane de copii a debutului lor" (Szatmary 328).
Nirvana a fost materializarea unei povesti de succes venita peste noapte, dandu-le caselor de discuri si formatiilor de garaj de peste tot, un vis pe care l-ar putea gasi si implini ca urmatorul lor "mare lucru".
"Peste tot, criticii de muzica au vorbit despre cautarea "urmatoarei Nirvana". Case de discuri mari au cautat in tot Seattle-ul pentru formatii care inca n-au semnat cu nimeni" (Bertsch 1).
Acum, industria muzicala a avut o ureche pentru "subteran" si formatiile "subterane" care aveau acum o platforma pe care sa stea.

Dupa ce Nirvana a plecat de la Sub Pop, au continuat sa caute pentru un talent nou. Au descoperit in Seattle o formatie, "Sunny Day Real Estate"> si au lansat primul lor album in 1994.
"Pe "Seven" si "In Circles", primele doua piese de pe albumul de debut, Diary, Real Estate practic a scos schitele intregului gen rock" (Cohen 1).
Cu acest album "emo-ul a inceput sa faca valuri in afara comunitatii hardcore" (Kurland 1)
"Sunny Day Real Estate a dat "start-ul" pentru frenzia emo cu Diary" (Cohen 1).
Vocea puternic falsetto a lui Jeremy Egnik cu vastele sale schimbari dinamice si versuri adanci a tipizat sunetul revolutionar a lui "Sunny Day Real Estate".
Influenta lor asupra comunitatii emo a fost imensa, luand in considerare ca nu au fost titrati, dand doar un interviu si ne tinand un spectacol in California. In 1995, inaintea lansarii celui de-al doilea album, "LP2", Sunny Day Real Estate s-au despartit, dar impactul era deja lasat.
Genul emo-core a fost deja lansat si mergea. Cu formatii ca "Mineral", "Texas is the Reason", si "Christie Front Drive" au urmat genului "Sunny Day Real Estate", care a inceput sa-si planteze radacinile in toata tara.
Astazi, emo-ul a evoluat in diverse stiluri si sunete care-si lasa amprenta in felul lor genului. Din cauza diversitatii acestor artisti, nu as fi surprins daca multe alte genuri ar evolua din imensul gen emo.

Muzica este ceva care nu se schimba peste noapte; evolueaza incet dar dramatic. Muzica avanseaza deoarece artistii imping limitele in mod constant, incercand sa fie diferiti, incercand sa fie originali.
Nici un muzician adevarat nu vrea sa fie catalogat, sau pus intr-o cutie si de aceea cateva formatii vor stereotipul "emo".
Faptul este ca scena underground/indie evolueaza in ea, chiar inauntrul unor genuri diferite, etichete si subculturi.

Pentru a urmari aceasta evolutie, trebuie sa ne uitam la scene si genuri in general care au contribuit emo-ului. In timp ce unele formatii devin tot mai populare decat contemporanii lor, alti artisti mari sunt trecuti cu vederea.
Este important sa ne axam pe grupurile si artistii mai influenti, pentru ca un consens general sa fie atins.
Sunt mult prea multe formatii care au influentat genul emo, dar, uitandu-ne la artistii principali dintr-un gen, cineva poate sa prinda un sentiment general de ceea ce se intampla in acel gen la timpul dat.

Rites of Spring si Sunny Day Real Estate nu au dat startul genului emo. Ele au fost doua din cele mai influentiale formatii in evolutia genului emo.
Emo a fost culminarea dintre multe formatii si genuri puse la un loc la locul potrivit si la timpul potrivit. Multe formatii au fost nevoite sa construiasca poduri pentru ca artistii "subterani" sa fie auziti.
Multe alte formatii au adus sunete noi si idei care au ajutat formarea sunetului emo. Cu toti acesi factori intr-un loc, o formatie sau o casa de discuri a fost nevoita sa puna in miscare formarea genului emo.
