emo
A genre of music that began in the 1980s and has had three main waves. The first wave involved hardcore punk bands from the DC scene who's singers would give exceptionally emotional performances. This became known as emocore or emotive hardcore.
The second wave of emo began in the early 90s when the bands began to add indie influences to create a lighter version of emotional punk. This is much closer to the style of emo that we see today.
Sadly, the modern wave of emo has abandoned the strategy of making good music that actually means something in favor of creating marketable music that sells to hormonal teens who feel that suicide is cool.
