Emo is a term which originated as an abbreviation of emotional hardcore, but is now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punks's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage. The abbreviation has increasingly come to stand for emotional, as the links between modern usage of the term and the original genre have become more and more tenuous. There is also an emphasis on fashion and "the scene" amongst people following emo.
