Emo stood for emotional hardcore, i.e. bands like Rites of Spring, Moss Icon. It's only recently become a term for "emotional", which is the stupidest thing ever, but that's just the way it happened.

Hardly, considering the "Emo" scene trend that so many people bash only came in during the late 90's which was long after emotional Hardore was around, the Emo style was an attempt at mixing Goth and the dreaded "Scene" look but due to it's popularity with teens it eventually overtook Goth as the typical "dark" stereotype. While i'm more of a goth/rocker myself I really dont sympathize with "Emo's" because half of them are a bunch of idiots and quite bluntly, posers.


Regardless, the "Emo" style needs to stop being confused with Emotional Hardcore because it's giving alot of good bands a bad name.

That's actually pretty much what I was saying.

From my perspective you seemed to contradict yourself, you said it was always Emotional Hardcore which is true but then you said it only recently became "Emotional", thats where I got confused since only a few words back you said something different.

Unless when you said "Emotional" you actually meant the "Emo" hate stereotype, in which case your right and I agree with you.
