sorry ad, I had a lot to say

FC's Bible shouldn't have emo as a genre

The term "emo" (sometimes lengthened to "emocore") was initially used to describe hardcore bands who favored expressive vocals over the typical barking rants

I personally use the term "Melodic Hardcore" but that might not suit the music always

i think one of the things that elicits such an "i don't get it" response from guys like us is that, regardless of what emo originally was, it's become pretty much a wet dream for shy, poetry-writing 16 year old girls. and i think they are the ones responsible for it being so popular. the music is played by trend-hopping pretty-boys who may as well have been playing ska in the mid-90s and who look good in Sassy Magazine type photo spreads (unlike Leonardo Dicaprio or the N Sync guys, emo bands dress so shabby that they look almost attainable), it has all the appearance of being rebellious & independent, but it's totally divorced from the radical politics & shock value of punk. being an emo fan gives a teenager all the indie credibility of punk rock, without asking for a major commitment like buying into far-out concepts like anarchy, nihilism, or avant-garde art & thought. you can put an emo cd on a pink vanity table alongside a Dawson's Creek dvd, an Emily Dickinson book, and a teddy bear, and it doesn't look out of place at all.

i guess you could credit pop-punk bands like Green Day and Rancid with making punk safe for little girls, but emo has managed to do that while still looking authentic (rather than looking like cartoonish sell-outs, the way Green Day & Rancid did), and emo has nailed it down to pretty much an exact science.
