 | | Initially, the term "emo" was an abbreviation of "emocore", itself short for "emotional hardcore", and was coined to describe the music of the mid-1980s DC scene and its associated bands. |
 | | Today, "emo" is often used to describe such wide-ranging bands as Coheed and Cambria, Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line, Brand New, Something Corporate, The Used, A Static Lullaby, From First To Last, Finch, Silverstein, From Autumn To Ashes,Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance, and Alexisonfire. |
 | | Purist punk fans also accuse emo of being too "soft" and sappy, unlike regular punk which is more angry rather than emotional, emo tends to express anger from a more emotional (and one could argue, somewhat childish) viewpoint. |
