Outside Influences: the following genres and bands are NOT EMO but have had a strong impact on the sound and scene. Emo is decided by scene involvement, history, significant influence, aesthetic, lyricism and musical style. Furthermore, appealing to fans of emo, carrying similar characteristics, citing minor emo influences, and/or touring with emo bands does not necessarily equate to a band being emo. Despite popular misconception, the following bands are NOT emo: My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Pierce the Veil, Black Veil Brides, The Cure, Copeland, Linkin Park, Twenty One Pilots, Green Day, Blink-182, AFI, The Front Bottoms, Paramore, Teen Suicide, Pinegrove, Phoebe Bridgers, Third Eye Blind, etc. To clarify, Emo is NOT a style of fashion, a product, a feeling, or a demographic. Aside from a handful of examples, emo has not experienced much mainstream exposure. Resulting from its punk and hardcore roots, emo has a strong sense of DIY ethics, modesty, and authenticity.

No spam, like-farming, or posting unrelated contentĪ Brief Introduction to Emo & its Various FormsĮmo is a genre of cathartic punk/alt rock music derived from hardcore known for its personal lyricism, loud/soft dynamics, and occasionally twinkly guitar work which all follow a distinct history and lineage.

This includes: race-baiting, race realism, any casual form of islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, or objectification of any kind hate speech or incitement of violence against individuals, use of derogatory slurs, promotion of Nazism, fascism, and other far-right or reactionary ideas use of lazy attack helicopter or 'sexually identifies as' jokes, any form of harassment, engaging in rape/pedo apologia, and simply being a straight-up asshole.
