"emocore" < term ian used in mid 80's to describe a certain music (i.e. the dischord bands mentioned above), a certain "post hardcore" strand of music.
i dont know, i always thought the term was silly. pretty much all music is "emotional" in some sense.

actually i think thrasher used that term and ian mackaye just made fun of it and called it a shit term. it's funny cause the end of the palatka record there's a sample of him saying how it's "all caca". the video is now on youtube. |
actually, the d.c. skinheads, the boston and ny hc bands and others who went to shows in d.c. called it emocore to ridicule how the audience didn't slam anymore and started bringing flowers to throw at the bands and cried when they played. kinda like calling it "softcore" instead of "hardcore."
then thrasher, maximum rock n' roll, etc. started to use that term as a put down.
