What is the EMO culture all about?

What are the origins and is there a purpose?
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Wikipedia's actually pretty good on this one.

Apparently it started in Washington D.C. from the hardcore scene. Many Emo bands, like Dashboard Confessional and Jimmy Eat World cite Fugazi as a major influence, though Fugazi themselves aren't considered emo.

So it's basically like a popularized, fashionable version of hardcore. More of a fashion statement than a way of life.

I would say that the Emo thing, is really just to be different from other people, um it could be possible they go to this Emo thing because there depressed, feel shuned, or possibly just a rebel, the whole cutting your wrist thing, could be cultural but I wouldn't count on it.
