"but now I am hearing teens being called emo."
Well, it's from the 80s, but became big when I was in high school (2000-2004).
I still remember this emo girl I dated for a few weeks... lots of Dashboard Confessional. As in that's all she listened to.
Ugh... "My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill meeeeee! So why don't you killlll meeee, so I die HAAAA-PPPPPPEEEEEEEY."
It's been almost 10 years and when that song "Hands Down" is mentioned I can't get it out of my head. No wonder my friends (a jock, a goofball and a D&D-playing goth) came to save me with billiard cues, a wooden training katana and other implements of destruction from the "basement troll."
True story.
