I hear people saying emo
, which I guess stands for emotional
.
However... What is emo music
? People use the phrase as if there exists a separate music genre called emo... Is this the case, or are they just referring to songs that provoke deep emotions like sorrow, loneliness and such?
Also, is there a rather specific connotation to the word emo
in general? Because I see the word is often used in a derogatory context, e.g. emo fag
.
