"Emo"

Didn't the phrase "emo" come from "emocore?" I don't think this article is accurate at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eightbitriot (talk • contribs) 03:39, 19 April 2005 (UTC)

Redirect

If you flip through the history of this page you'll see it's a bunch of people just trying to put their own spin on what "emocore" is and build a list of their favorite bands. I'm going to redirect this article to the "emo" article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eightbitriot (talk • contribs) 03:52, 19 April 2005 (UTC)

I took out the redirect; I think that people should know that the term exists, even if it isn't a real genre. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.12.134.248 (talk • contribs) 20:12, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

About the emocore definition.

Emocore actually stands for "emotive hardcore" not "emotional hardcore". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blissfreak (talk • contribs) 17:48, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

No, it doesn't. If you can find a period article that references it as such, feel free. But every readily documented source as early as 1992 refers to "emocore" as "emotional hardcore". Do a Google search of "emotional hardcore" and "emotive hardcore" and see which one is the more common usage. And that's certainly been true for at least the last decade-plus. --ChrisB 18:27, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

No, Emocore is the same as Emo (music). Redirect it to that, not Emo in general. --Violask81976 14:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
