  Emo (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe the music of the mid-1980s Washington, DC scene and its associated bands.
Starting in the mid-1990s, the term emo began to reflect the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi, which itself was an offshoot of the first wave of emo.
This brand of emo was often referred to as "Midwestern emo" given the geographic location of the bands, with several of the best-known bands hailing from the areas around Chicago, Kansas City, and Milwaukee.

 Decoymusic.com - Definition of "EMO"
Emo (an abbreviation of "emotionally-driven hardcore punk" or just "emotional-hardcore") is a term now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punk's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage.
Today, the term "emo" is increasingly ambiguous, and is often used disparagingly to describe something that is overly sentimental or melodramatic, and is used in a similar way to the usage of "gay" as a derogatory adjective.

 The next generation of emo. By Mikael Wood
When a tightly knit group of brainy, literate punk rockers centered around the band Rites of Spring invented emo in Washington, D.C., in the mid 1980s, they had a very specific goal: to reinject punk with some of the emotion and theatricality it had lost during the years of strident Reagan-era political engagement.
