Emo is just the new trendy term for whiny, self-loathing teen angst.

Music that expresses emotion. Generally, bands that put out song after song crying out about how life has wronged them get stuck in this "genre".

emo = emotions, emotional

a way for musicians with no vocal talents to sell records.

Emotional.

Essentially, all music is emo. But, the music labeled as "emo" is ******.

New? I knew about emo when I was 12 and I'm 25 now. Not that I ever liked emo though. It's just lame whiny music that is trying to be as feminine and weak/self loathing as possible. It's fans are people with gender identity issues. They're pretty much called hipsters these days though. The term emo is sort of dated.

Also 90% of myspace.com is full of these hipster douche bags.

Way off-topic, I know, but I like your name. I wish I could learn that style.

so...is Arab Strap considered emo? because they have one heck of an album (The Last Romance). If it is indeed, then not all emo music sucks....
