Emo

Emo is a genre of rock music that originated in the mid-1980s. It is characterized by emotional, often confessional lyrics and melodic, often distorted guitar-driven sound. Emo music often deals with topics such as heartbreak, self-loathing, and insecurity. It is often associated with the punk and indie rock genres, and is often seen as a more melodic and emotionally charged version of punk rock.
