How do you guys define emo? (punk, ballad, quote, band)

why define anything? defining would only be limiting it, and putting limitations on music ruins it.

How true. Emo is not a genre. Emo is... a state of mind perhaps. So many bands have emo songs, emo albums, emo periods. The "emo band" does not exist.

emo is NOT music. it is a philosophy, a lifestyle, a belief system, a religion, a set of thoughts and ideals that are based as the archetype for ones community, a culture...

emo isnt necessarily punk, i know ill be shunned for this. however, emo is a broad range of music, a very broad one actually. it can come from, and is more mainstream in the punk/rock genre. however it can be found in R&B and rap, sad as it is, music from usher, tupac and immortal technique have found a way to incorperate emotion into their music, thus making them emo.

a lot of people will say emo is a genre specific to punk/rock but i dont think it is, i think its a genre specific to artists who show their true emotions.
