Emo (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3449 words)
In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe the music of the mid-1980s Washington, DC scene and its associated bands.
Starting in the mid-1990s, the term emo began to reflect the indie scene that followed the influences of Fugazi, which itself was an offshoot of the first wave of emo.
This brand of emo was often referred to as "Midwestern emo" given the geographic location of the bands, with several of the best-known bands hailing from the areas around Chicago, Kansas City, and Milwaukee.
