There is no such thing as "emo bands". there is only "emo-hardcore".
emo
Older emo bands were more of an underground sort of sound. Bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, The Promise Ring and Texas Is The Reason were considered emo bands. Bands that are considered emo now are Alesansa and Silverstein.
Whatever they want
Emo was A Genre before it was a Label And/Or A way of life, when A Band is called Emo, It would only be because of the style of their Music. Some Bands may Cut, but that's just up to them. Examples of "Emo" Bands; Hawthorne Heights, Fugazi, My Chemical Romance, Thursday, Automatic LoveLetter, Mest. Etc.. Not all of these bands neccessarily Cut, but their Music is Emo, As a Genre :P. =)
Yes, screamo is a sub-genre of emo (which itself is a sub-genre of punk).
Escape the fate: smooth
The history of punk is longer than emo. Punk started in the 1970's The Ramones which influenced other bands like The Clash The Sex Pistols and The Casualites to name a few popular ones.Most emo bands like My Chemical Romance and From First to last were influenced by bands like The Misfits other goth,heavy metal bands and punk.
The term "emo" is short for "emotional" or "emotive" and originated from the emotional and expressive style of music known as emo, which emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. It was initially used to describe a subgenre of punk rock that focused on personal expression and introspective lyrics. Over time, "emo" also became associated with a particular fashion style and subculture.
It is said than most if not all heavy metal music (avenged sevenfold, evanescence, slipknot) is emo, especially screamo. But please check the definition of emo people!!!!
my chemical romance ( they are not they just have been labeled that )
No, death metal is not for emo's such bands as "Hawthorne Heights" and "Madina Lake" are emo bands death metal is more advanced and for more hardcore people and FYI everyone Joe Gardner has an egg dick. It's pretty simple. Emo music wants to kill itself, death metal wants to kill other people (the more, and the more brutally, the better).
