| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Originating in the mid-1980s on the East Coast of the U.S., "Emo" music has come to be associated with melodic tunes with confessional lyrics. Emo music hit mainstream in the early 2000s with big names hitting the radio waves and being marketed heavily by record labels. This book looks at the origins of emo music and culture, the record labels who saw its potential in popular culture and the most influential emo acts.
