Emo is Hardcore Punk music with sensitive and emotional lyrics. The music is epitomized by post-Grunge, edgy rock with explosive energy mixed with sensitivity. Emotional lyrics about sadness, love and even anger are common lyrical theme.

Thanks, theusername. I got into the "dream pop" branch of punk in the 1990s. Stuff like Lush and My Bloody Valentine. Some people would put Cocteau Twins and Curve in that category too, but Curve's early stuff was more like techno with heavy guitars, and Cocteau Twins had been doing their own thing much earlier.
