Since joining this and another "Emo" guild, I've noticed that there seems to be some confusion over what it really means to be Emo (like I have mentioned, I'm still practically a n00b). There seems to be two main types of Emo:
Emotive - Emotive Hardcore, which is a none political hardcore punk
and Emotional - Emotional Punk, poetic in terms of heartbreak, regret and hopelessness
To help better define, from what I have heard from everyone, the musical tastes of these two different Emos are as listed for examples:
Emotive - Rites of Spring, Hot Cross, Orchid, Transistor Transistor, La Quiete, pg.99, Amanda Woodward, Envyand, and Circle Takes the Square.
Emotional - Taking Back Sunday, Silverstein, The Used, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds to Mars and My Bloody Valentine.
Not only are the two different in terms of musical choice and ideologies but behavior as well. The Modern Emo (Emotional) seems to be pre-occupied with negative feeling and, in some extreme cases, have developed a habit of cutting themselves.
Looking at this like an outsider it seems that the Emo Culture is divided up into two sub-groups that are completely different from one another.
What are your thoughts of this? Is one type of Emo better than the other? Should we give the Modern Emo a different name so they will no longer be confused with the Emotive Emos who share the 1980's scene?

finding emotive They did, in a way. There is a real emo, the original emo wich is Emotive Hardcore. We come into these kind of guilds to try educate people, wich normally doesn't work because people dont like to listen.
that's because you're telling them "I'm right, you're wrong. End of story." and you have no space in your mind for compromise.
Emo is Emo. That is that.
That's why i decribe emo in a way that it involves both sides of the matter.
Emo is just music that has lyrics about any emotional situation (; any situation that pulls at your emotions: anger, depression, heartache, turmoil... whatever) and then put to a musical sound that pushes their message and presses every bit of their emotion into it.
Whether they do it in forms as Haste the Day, Dallas Green, or sometimes (my personal un-favourite) Bright Eyes, or Armor For Sleep.
It doesn't matter how "hardcore" it is that makes them "emo". It's just a genre derived from punk. That's where they get the pressing of emotions and soul. After that emo came to be people tried stretching it through other sounds, such as Emo Hardcore/Screamo.
So stop trying to "EDUCATE" people. Just enjoy what you like about whatever bands. If you want to share your opinion on what emo is, go ahead. Don't do it in a way that says "I'm right, you're wrong."

Accepting this new emo genre to be level with the original is as bad as if I was to accept country to be emo, it has alot of the new emo characteristics. But country has absolutely nothing to do with emo, and what you call emo now has next to nothing either, if the general percent was close enough I would have reason to accept it.

-Fueled.By.Ramen- Remme I think the reason why people who listen to real emo get pissed at people who listen to nu-emo is for the same reason why people who listen to old school punk get pissed off at people who listen to pop punk like blink 182 or whatever - it's just seriously irritating to be associated with them. hmm i've got friends that listen to old school punk, and pop punk, and i do too (along with emo too) i can't really give myself one specific lable example (i guess): my two most favorite bands in the whole entire world, are, the ramones, and from first to last It would make more sense if FFTL was emo or punk.
