Emotive hardcore (emo) is a genre of music. I think you mean scene, as that is the clothing style and the general name for the alternative subculture that covers indie, hardcore, and any of those other genre*cores. Anyone who identifies as such actually isn't.
It all started a few days ago, I was walking with pride. MY HEAD held up high ya know?! Unfortunately, I WASN'T WATCHING my very step! CUZ in the blink of an eye I had stepped on a Lego causing me to curse like an angry mother. BUT THAT'S NOT IT, a day later I was walking barefoot and I GOT A SPLINTER ON MY TOE AND IT HURT LIKE A ITCH. I once again cursed tha heavens and asked myself "WHY? WHY ME? WHY DOES LADY LUCK GO AGAINST ME?!" So with determination and willpower I decided I would seduce Lady Luck, I would shackle her and make her mines! Long story short: Decided to just wear shoes/sandles. THERE IS A SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM. This is my emo story, be inspired bruhh.
I remember those days supposedly they've turned the music genre into an entire subculture...I think Emo is to Millenial as Goth was to Generation X
But I'm a millennial and think emo as a subculture is a load of crap. ? And goth is so far gone now you have to be in your late 30s to actually properly identify as such. If I were older I'd be able to call myself goth with pride. As I am now, I'm just that creepy kid in all black that works at the library, worships classic literature and Poe, and enjoys listening to Christian Death while I argue the finer points of Star Wars vs Star Trek.
