Emo are songs that talk about bad relationships, sadness, how to cry, and how to have a reationship and a good example of an emo band is THe Used, and a good example of a screamo band is Taking Back Sunday. Punk is volume and anger, and most punk bands are Political like Cheap Sex, Crass, and Dead Kennedys which is the opposite of emo. SOmewhere in the 80's somebody Decided to bring and sad emotional songs trough punk, that band is "Rites of Spring" they also decided to use punk rythms making songs without volume and anger thats what we call EMO because their songs are emotional. If you go to an emo concert to see The Used play I guaranteed you will see many girls cry. THe reason for punks hating emo is because lots of emo bands label themselves Punk, and because emo is a rip off from punk and because emo is a whole diffierent thing from punk because punk has nothing to do with sad emotional songs. Emo is everything that stands against punk, and emo has nothing to do with the 80's punk scene. Ok you might also be hearing that Punks beat up emo kids, know why? because emo is everything against punk, and punks hate them. Ok and lastly emo is not punk and emo is neither a sub genre of punk.

OK I AM NOT HERE TO SAY EMO SUCKS AND THIS AND THAT, BUT I HOPE I MADE THINGS A BIT MORE CLEAR, AND SOME PIECE OF ADVICE FOR ME TO GIVE YOU IS TO DON'T TALK ABOUT EMO WHEN YOU SEE PUNKS, AND DON'T DRESS EMO NEITHER BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS WILL THINK YOUR *** AND SO WILL YOUR FRIENDS. AND ONE MORE THING ABOUT EMO, EMO KIDS WEAR GOTHIC GLASSES AND IF GOTH'S SEE YOU EMO KIDS YOU WILL GET YOUR A!SS KICKED I SWEAR.
