Emo, which stands for "emotional, is a youth movement based around dark music, dark clothing and a dark view of the world.
...Emo music is not dark at all, really. Plus, the sometimes dark emotive hardcore lyrics aren't really about the world. I find them to sometimes be very self-centered, not that that is wrong in the lyrical world at all.

The emo brand of music sounds much like indie or rock, but it takes its unique name from the emotional lyrics and melancholy themes.
Holy crap, this is so false I am surprised the person even published it. Not to mention, "sounds like rock" is the most generalized sentence you could use.

One of the forerunners of this genre is the band My Chemical Romance from New Jersey, America.

She said they had been aware of “superficial self-harm” among younger students who had joined the emo clan
LOL

And "The Black Parade" as a dieing place for emos was great too.
