emo是什么梗？
不知道你有没有发现，最近朋友圈、微博开始频繁出现emo这个说法，比如「我emo了」，有点跟不上时代的步伐了，就连张杰也发出了疑问，emo到底是什么梗？
直白来讲，你可以理解为“我网抑云了”、“我颓了”、“我抑郁了”、“我傻了”、“我太难了”......
据百度百科，EMO，全称Emotional Hardcore，中文名称情绪硬核。最初是从硬核朋克（Hardcore Punk）中派生出来的一种有着艺术家气派的音乐。后来Emo融合了其特有的世界观、生活方式和衣着风格成为了独树一帜的亚文化现象。

What is Emo?
From: soEMO
EMO means "emotional"...
Emo is a slang term known to be short for emotional, but that doesn't make much sense really. If you claim "emo" were to mean "emotional" it then becomes an all encompassing word. It becomes extremely vague and it has no limit as to what it can describe. Emo when wrongfully used to mean "emotional" describes every living thing, every song, every word, every breath, every statement.
EMO is a subculture...
The term emo is used to describe a subculture which has evolved dramatically over time so the emo of yesterday and today will be discussed.
Emo of yesterday...
Emo was created as a shortened term to describe a specific thing, in this case "emotive hardcore" developed out of the D.C. punk scene in the 80s. In its original incarnation, emo was short for emocore, or emotional-hardcore. The name was applied to hardcore punk rock bands who distinguished themselves from their peers by adding an emotional element to their music. Themes of sadness, love and angst were dealt with in their lyrics. The music was also characterised by particularly dramatic vocals which left the audience in an emotionally charged state, crying or screaming. Real Emo was manly and hard. This genre is still alive today, although very obscure and unknown to most.
The history of emo is somewhat less ambiguous than its current meaning which is detailed next.
Emo of today...
The emo culture continued to develop through the 90's and into the new millennium really kicking off around 2003 and reaching the height of its popularity to date. The word has been adopted by a whole generation of teenage music lovers for whom a melodramatic attitude and style of dress is just as important as musical taste. It's now seen as one of the more consumer-driven subcultures.
Initially defined as a genre of music, nowadays the cultural phenomenon that is Emo is much more than that encompassing its own set of fashion, style, behavior, and perspectives on life within the definition. The music is also significantly different to what was once classed as emo. These changes/evolution obviously are the subject of debate and anger the true emos of the past.
Punk which can be described as Emo's predecessor also evolved to encompass a diversified set of lifestyle suggestions above and beyond the kind of music, including certain behaviors, fashion imperatives and identity traits which are indicative of an emerging new culture. Emo still has its roots firmly planted in music with "emotion" is at its core though.
The behaviors, attitudes, and values expressed through the music involve emotionally turbulent themes often associated with adolescence such as despair, nostalgia, heartbreak, hope, and self-loathing. The various and sometimes conflicting social practices associated with Emo subculture contain valuable insights into what it means to be an adolescent today. For many youth, Emo subculture facilitates identity formation, social interactions and emotional involvement. It is a place where many adolescents share their experiences about the world and express their feelings about life through music.
Emo Music
These days, emo (inc. screamo, etc) music has been popularised and sent into the mainstream through bands like Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, MCR, Aiden, Atreyu, Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein, Funeral For A Friend, etc...
