AT FIRST
Emocore has been subject of much debate since it first
appeared. So...emo is a genre of rock music. At first, the term
was used to describe a subgenre of hardcore punk in the '80s. Later,
'emocore' was used to describe the DC scene and regional scenes
related.
The biggest names of the period are Fire Party, Rites of Spring,
One Last Wish, Embrace, Beefeater, Gray Matter, and
Moss Icon.
The first wave of emo began to fade after the
breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s. In the mid '90s,
'emo' began to reflect the indie scene that followed the
influences of Fugazi. Bands like 'Texas is the reason' and 'Sunny Day
Real Estate' introduced a more indie rock style of emo, less violent than
it's predecessor. "Indie emo" survived until the late '90s. As the
remaining indie emo bandsentered the mainstream, newer bands began to
emulate the more mainstream style, creating a style of music that has now earned
the moniker emo within popular culture.
Whereas, even in the past, the
term emo was used to identify a wide variety of bands, the breadth of
bands listed under today's
emo is even more vast, leaving the
term "emo" as more of a loose identifier than as a specific genre of music.
