Emo and Goth Girls

I hate to ask and show my age, but what the hell is an EMO?

Here's an original emo anthem....

Love will tear us apart again (see the lyrics, classic emo)...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szua7uP6agY

later emo sounds more like this:

One could argue as Lance does that Emo is really just the teenager existential state of mind, but it's more precisely a specifically decadence style of teenage angst that evolved out of the punk scene and rejects all past forms of teenage revolt, in the sense that past youthful rebels, even those without a cause, vigorously struggled for a future.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGfbub3ozmA&feature=related

The main theme of Emo is resignation, surrender and a kind of falling down but having no will to get back up again. In this sense it's very psychologically geriatric, much like the post-modern gestalt of the civilisation that bore it. Without hope.

Thanks. I thought it just required you to have a ring through your lip, as that seems to be the common thread with a lot of the pics.
