™Emo`sTyLe(eNgLiSh)™
Emo is a genre of rock music. Since its inception, emo has come to describe several independent variations of music, linked loosely but with common ancestry. As such, use of the term has been the subject of much debate.
In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe a subgenre of hardcore punk which originated in the Washington, DC music scene of the mid-1980s. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the DC scene and some of the regional scenes that spawned from it. The term emo was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and strongly emotional during performances. The most recognizable names of the period included Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party, and, slightly later, Moss Icon. The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s.
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. Bands including Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas Is the Reason put forth a more indie rock style of emo, more melodic and less chaotic in nature than its predecessor. The so-called "indie emo" scene survived until the late 1990s, as many of the bands either disbanded or shifted to mainstream styles.
As the remaining indie emo bands entered the mainstream, newer bands began to emulate the more mainstream style, creating a style of music that has now earned the moniker emo within popular culture. Whereas, even in the past, the term emo was used to identify a wide variety of bands, the breadth of bands listed under today's emo is even more vast, leaving the term "emo" as more of a loose identifier than as a specific genre of music.

In 1985 in Washington, D.C., Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, veterans of the DC hardcore music scene, decided to shift away from what they saw as the constraints of the basic style of hardcore and the escalating violence within the scene. They took their music in a more personal direction with a far greater sense of experimentation, bringing forth MacKaye's Embrace and Picciotto's Rites of Spring. The style of music developed by Embrace and Rites of Spring soon became its own sound. (Hüsker Dü's 1984 album Zen Arcade is often cited as a major influence for the new sound.) As a result of the renewed spirit of experimentation and musical innovation that developed the new scene, the summer of 1985 soon came to be known in the scene as "Revolution Summer".[1][2]
Where the term emo actually originated is uncertain, but members of Rites of Spring mentioned in a 1985 interview in Flipside Magazine that some of their fans had started using the term to describe their music. By the early 90s, it was not uncommon for the early DC scene to be referred to as emo-core, though it's unclear when the term shifted.
Within a short time, the D.C. emo sound began to influence other bands such as Moss Icon, Nation of Ulysses,[3] Dag Nasty, Soulside, Shudder To Think, Fire Party, Marginal Man, and Gray Matter, many of which were released on MacKaye's Dischord Records. The original wave of DC emo finally ended in late 1994 with the collapse of Hoover.
As the D.C. scene expanded, other scenes began to develop with a similar sound and DIY ethic. In San Diego in the early 1990s, Gravity Records released a number of records in the hardcore emo style. Bands of the period included Heroin, Indian Summer, Drive Like Jehu, Angel Hair, Antioch Arrow, Universal Order of Armageddon, Swing Kids, and Mohinder. Also in California, Ebullition Records released records by bands of the same vein, such as Still Life and Portraits of Past, as well as more traditional hardcore punk bands, all having various social and political themes in common.
At the same time, in the New York/New Jersey area, bands such as Native Nod, Merel, 1.6 Band, Policy of 3, Rye Coalition, Iconoclast,[4] and Quicksand[5] were feeling the same impulse. Many of these bands were involved with the ABC No Rio club scene in New York, itself a response to the violence and stagnation in the scene and with the bands that played at CBGBs, the only other small venue for hardcore in New York at the time. Much of this wave of emo, particularly the San Diego scene, began to shift towards a more chaotic and aggressive form of emo, nicknamed screamo.
By and large, the more hardcore style of emo began to fade as many of the early era groups disbanded. However, aspects of the sound remained in bands such as Four Hundred Years and Yaphet Kotto. Also, a handful of modern bands continue to reflect emo's hardcore origins, including Circle Takes the Square, Hot Cross, City of Caterpillar, Funeral Diner, and A Day in Black and White.
Following the disbanding of Embrace in 1986, MacKaye established the influential group Fugazi, and was soon joined by Picciotto. While Fugazi itself is not typically categorized as emo, the band's music is cited as an influence by popular second-wave bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate,[6] Braid,[7] and Jimmy Eat World.

♥История на Емо стила♥
♥♥♥Emo(съкратено от “emocore”, от своя страна съкратено от “emotional hardcore”, използвано обикновено като “emotional”) е термин, който описва почти всяка форма на алтернатив-рок, който изразява емоции извън рамките на традиционния пънк, показващ ограничена палета от емоции свързани с отчуждението и яростта. Използван е също така, за да опише феновете на този жанр, повечето тийнейджъри (Emo Kid). Въпреки терминът, Емо произлиза от hardcore-punk сцената в Съединените Щати някъде в средата на 80-те. Корените на стилът могат да бъдат открити в две групи от post-punk ерата. През 1983 г. албумът VS на Mission Of Burma постига много в отношение – разширяване границите на пънка фиксирайки първичната емоционалност и съдържа proto-emo класиката Thats When I Reach For My Revolver. През 1984г. Husker Du издава Zen Arcade доказвайки подробно какво е всъщност emo: комплекс от сурово китарно звучене с емоционални вокали и завладяващи съзнанието текстове. Понятието emocore навлиза в употреба през 1985г. и е използвано да характеризира убедително групи от Washington D.C. хардкор-сцената, които за ужас на хардкор-феновете започват да бълват много нетипични за пънка емоции в своята музика, включително тъга, надежда, състрадание и дори любов. Две банди се открояват като типични emocore на първо време и това са Rites Of Spring и Embrace. Стилът привлича, банди като Moss Icon, Policy Of Three, Navio Forge и Indian Summer стават като просто наричаното “emo”, стил, който увеличава драматичните аспекти на вокалните изпълнения с идеята за реализиране на голям пробив сред аудиенцията. И успяват, резултатът е смайващ – след края на всяко представление на емо-групи остават плачещи или крещящи фенове. Много ефективно, като отворен екран за емоции това кара хардкор-феновете да се чувстват некомфортно и често има търкания между двата лагера. С голямата масовост на алтернатив-музиката през началото на 90-те, новият вторично-произлязъл стил наречен “hardcore emo” преживява огромни бъдещи успехи с гладките, емоционални вокали. Известните хардкор емо групи са Heroin, Angel Hair, Antioch Arrow, Swing Kids и Mohinder. Много от тези хардкор емо групи, като Antioch Arrow, взривяват сцената на Западното крайбрежие на Щатите. След упадъкът на повечето значими групи в движението, фокусът пренасочва емо на изток. Screamo изпъкват в Европа. По-късно през 90-те групи като Sunny Day Real Estate и Mineral се открояват като по-модернистични форми на емо, които смесват ранното emocore от сорта на Rites Of Spring с post-hardcore иновациите на Fugazi. Първата група претърпяла комерсиален успех е Weezer, които са голяма сензация по MTV през 1994 г. с дебютното си CD. Днес терминът “емо” е доста по-неясен. С успеха на поп-пънк групи като The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World и The Promise Ring, музикалната индустрия си присъединява терминът “емо” като маркетингов трик. Следователно емо-лейбълите предлагат много различаващи се поп-китарни групи като Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional и New Amsterdams и много предимно мелодични, тихи групи с акустично звучене като Bright Eyes♥♥♥
