Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is an independent style of rock music that describes several variations of music with roots style. As such, the floor has been the subject of much debate. In mid-1980, the term describes a subgenus emotional hardcore punk of which originated in the Washington, DC music scene. In subsequent years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore" or, sometimes, "severe emotional," is also used to describe the emotional performances of bands on the scene in Washington DC and some the scenes of that branch regional As Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party, and later, Moss Icon.

Since the mid-1990, the emotional expression began to refer to the indie-pop scene that followed the influence of Fugazi, which in turn is a subsidiary of the first wave of emotional. Bands including Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas Is The Reason has a more indie-pop-rock style of emotional, more melodic and less chaotic. The so-called "emotional indie-pop" scene survived until the late 1990, as many of the bands either dissolved or modified to incorporate styles. Like the rest of emotional indie-pop into the mainstream of the bands, the bands began to emulate newer style primary. As a result, the term "emotional" became a vaguely defined identifier instead of a specific genre of music.
