sO...What is a "emo"?

emo is the dude i feed krazyking at parties.
 
emos are what krazyking sprayed with a fire extinguisher today downtown for kissing somebodys shoe
 
i'm surprised at the lack of discussion as well...
personally i'd rather not talk about it since a lot of people would call me an emo.
me,i don't care.i look the way i do and listen to the music i do and have done for years.not going to do otherwise just because the media and other people decide to use a word like that as an insult and pidgeonhole people into it.

in short,i'd consider myself more of a post-hardcore/alt rock fan.
emo to me is the likes of Hawthorne Heights...at least for this wave of "emo".

this was taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo_(slang)
The difficulty in defining "emo" as a genre may have started at the very beginning. In a 2003 interview by Mark Prindle,[12] Guy Picciotto of Fugazi and Rites of Spring was asked how he felt about "being the creator of the emo genre". He responded: "I don't recognize that attribution. I've never recognized 'emo' as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever. I know there is this generic commonplace that every band that gets labeled with that term hates it. They feel scandalized by it. But honestly, I just thought that all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional? What - they were robots or something? It just doesn't make any sense to me."
