Emo Fashion And Stereotype
Today emo is more commonly tied to fashion than to music, and the term "emo" is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts (sometimes short sleeved) which often bear the names of emo bands (or other designer shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and sometimes (stereotypically) thick black box-framed glasses. This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad.

When someone says 'emo', the first words to come into your head are usually 'razors', 'suicide', 'depression'. But the fact is, it actually has nothing to do with the genre 'emo'; only the stereotypical type of emos slit their wrists, and only then it's from depression not the fact that you are actually an emo. You cant, say, be a punk and have your wrists and arms untouched and then suddenly change to emo and start slitting because you think its what they do.

Emo is a genre of music that originated from hardcore punk and later adopted pop punk influences when it became mainstream in the US.
It has since come to describe several variations of music with common roots and associated fashion and stereotypes.
In the mid-1980s, the term emo described a subgenre of hardcore punk which stemmed from the Washington, D.C. music scene. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the emotional performances of bands in the Washington, D.C. scene and some of the offshoot regional scenes such as Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party, and later, Moss Icon.
In the mid-1990s, the term emo began to refer to 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, Far and Texas Is the Reason had a more indie rock style of emo, more melodic and less chaotic. The so-called "indie emo" scene survived until the late 1990s, when 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 mainstream style.
Today popular bands like My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco and Paramore are described as emo.
