On the other hand, there are plenty of sources from late 80s and early 90s that demonstrate usage of the term "emotional hardcore" and "emotional" as it relates to "emo". Please do not alter this definition without providing a primary source. |

The origin of the word ''emo'' itself is unclear. In a 1985 interview by ] in '']'', members of the band noted that some of their fans in DC were starting to call them "emo", arguably because of the state of emotion that the band displayed during their shows. In later years, the word ''emo'' was viewed as a contraction of "emotional hardcore" or "emocore", which was the popular designation of the music genre. (One contingent of the scene insists that ''emo'' is a contraction for "emotive hardcore". However, no primary source has been found to confirm use of that term prior to the mid-1990s.) |

In recent years, as its use has come to define more than just the music, the word ''emo'' has more often been viewed as simply being short for "emotional". |
