A Quote by Tony Wilson

Even though the hero of emo is Morrissey, the great song of emo is 'Love Will Tear Us Apart.' An emo soundtrack would introduce Joy Division's music to a whole new generation.

My musical style changes with every song that I make. I jokingly referred to it one time as 'emo thug', and I think that kind of stands because it's got equal parts of the aggressive confidence of the Dre beats I grew up listening to, and the emotion of like... emo music!

The Last Skeptik

I'm not emo. I've never been emo.

Trippie Redd

They call me Good Time Emo. Because I love a good time! And my name is Emo.

Emo Philips

If I'm too old to be Emo, how do you account for the very Emo and very old Edgar Allan Poe? Checkmate!

John Green

It's ignorant! The stereotype is guys that are weak and have failing relationships write about how sad they are. If you listen to our songs, not one of them has that tone. Emo is bullshit! If people want to take it for the literal sense of the word, then yes, we're an emotional band, we put a lot of thought into what we do. People always try to stereotype us, but we don't fit the emo stereotype.

Brendon Urie

Emo means different things to different people. Actually, that's a massive understatement. Emo seems solely to mean different things to different people—Like pig latin or books by Thomas Pynchon, confusion is one of its hallmark traits.

Andy Greenwald

Pop music is getting so emo. It's great. Emotional girl for life. I see myself in the centre of that.

Charli XCX

Future's Pluto is my favorite album of the year. It's so emo. Future is the number one dude I'd love to produce for - every time I listen to the song he did with Rihanna, "Loveeeeeee Song", I'm like, "I should have produced that."

Ryan Hemsworth

I hate the term 'emo.' It turned into this genre of music, when all music, if you connect with it, is emotional.

Sharon Van Etten

Granuaile looked terminally depressed when she emerged from the bathroom with raven hair and, as a result rather Goth by accident. She didn't want to get her picture taken. "Aughh!" she said miserably, looking in the vanity mirror in the truck of the cab and fingering a wavy curl near her temple. "This sucks more than anything has ever sucked before. You know what we look like? A couple of emo douche bags." "Well, look at the bright side, Granuaile. Emo Douche Bags would be a great band name." [That's brilliant! It's already the unofficial name of more bands than I can count.]

Kevin Hearne

I think early on I was really into ambient music and like American original Emo.

Matthew Healy

The music that I will continue to make will certainly draw upon those experiences of being a loner, of being an emo goth kid, of being a New York City aficionado, of being a witch, a feminist, a brown radical woman.
