Emo（有譯作情緒搖滾或情感硬核）是硬核朋克樂的一個子類別。1980年代中期在華盛頓特區舉行的硬核龐克運動中，它成為後硬核的風格，在當時被稱為情感硬核或emocore，由Rites of Spring和Embrace等樂團所開創。1990年代初期emo經由另類搖滾和獨立搖滾及流行龐克改造，像是Jawbreaker樂團、Sunny Day Real Estate樂團、Weezer樂團和Jimmy Eat World樂團。1990年代中期Braid樂團、Promise Ring樂團和Get Up Kids樂團等在美國中西部爆發式（）場景中脫穎而出，許多獨立唱片公司開始專注發掘此種樂風。同時期更具侵略性的尖叫聲（Screamo）風格出現了，由加州聖地牙哥的Heroin和Antioch Arrow等樂團率先推出。
