Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics.

Most music is emotional so it actually makes sense.

Does Dashboard Confessional and My Chemical Romance sound similar? Yeah, didn't think so. This genre is horrible for classifaction.

I'll like emo more once the fad factor dies out. I love the music, but hate 99% of the other people who do because I get the impression that most of them are more concerned with their image than the music.

I love how nobody who listens to 'emo' will admit that it is 'emo'. According to 'emo', 'emo' doesn't exist; yet these are the bands which people who self-idenitfy as 'emo' are listening to.
