when did "emo" start?

[diplodocus]

I always thought it evolved from Emo Phillips who I first came across on the late 80's

Yes. Those damn emos should get over themselves and start posting on porn forums like all of us who do have lives.

True,but The Cure were a Goth band which attracted all age groups.Emo's are basically 17-21 yo's with attitude problems.

A bit like those cunts who follow 'gangsta rap'

Give me Beethoven or Des O'Connor anyday !laugh!Jonone wrote:
