inb4 most posts saying INFP
I like this post, but I couldn't think of a better word. Punk? who knows.Emo doesn't mean emotional other than in a music sense.. it's a style of rock (punk, if you will) music. Its movement started in the mid 1980s I believe and only started getting popular when teenagers decided it would be cool to dismember it's origin by bringing obscene styles into it. (I'm guessing MTV had something to do with that..)
I think it would be degrading to classify any "type" as emo, because the word has lost it's meaning in this generation and is now regarded as attention-seeking kids who think dressing in a certain way is signifying their "troubled lifestyle" they so portray. People who feel actual emotions don't feel the need to dress in the way they do.
I'm not bashing anyone who dresses in the style they do but, do it for the sake of you liking the style.. not wanting to fit in or symbolize your "heavy emotions"
Perhaps a better word should have been chosen before starting this thread ..

Emo isn't and never was a type of person lol, only a style of music (many bands that are existent today that falsely represent what one thinks of what a typical emo band would be, but aren't. They're knock-off bands of when emotive hardcore was actually a style of music and not some sort of wave of whiny, meaningless music ---> Ex: Green Day, Enter Shikari, Escape the Fate, Evanescence, Avenged Sevenfold, Dashboard Confessional, Tokio Hotel ... among others.)
... i like how only the INFPs are mentioning INFP
Personally i dont know, although im slightly curious why it matters what types emo's could/should/might be![]()
I would hardly call Green Day whiny and meaningless. Some of their older stuff may have been...along those lines, but American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown are hardly meaningless. Sure, they are angry and at times anti american, but their intended message is "wake the f*ck up!"
Also...post grunge is not what I was talking about. although I do tend to like it...yes, it is whiny and meaningless. And even though emo started out as a music genre only, it has evolved into a type of person. no one else has questioned that.
