I think you're referring to the genre of "Emotive Hardcore" which actually came from the group Rites Of Spring. Although the term "emo" sprung from this, it was never coined and used in the manner it is nowadays until later 90's, since back then it wasn't really used for anything else beyond referring to people that liked Rites of Spring.

And this sums it all up right here. It's just some bastardized word used by crappy scene 15 year-olds that just throw the term around ridiculously since they don't really have a very good vocabulary.

And that's exactly what I'm saying. Sure he's pretty down, but he continues to fight on. Ultimately, he ends up coming to terms with his guilt and accepts things for what they are.

I'm so sick of hearing the bastardized term "emo" that I'm about ready to strangle a kitty cat. Honestly, the fact that this is the only word that people can find to describe his personality only highlights their lack of vocabulary as well as lack of character insight/ability to analyze.

Now if Cloud locked himself in his dark room writing lame poetry all day, playing poor-quality acoustics and singing about how he's going to kill himself and how the life sucks and nobody's worth enough to even live before he goes to dye his hair pitch black and get an eating disorder, that would be different.
