| − | ''Emo'' is a slang term used to describe fashion styles and gothlike appearances of a certain group of teenagers. Emo music, derived from emo, is a genre of hardcore punk, known to use emotions, and often, very suicidal messages.

| − | == Pre-Emo Days - Angst and Linkin Park == | + | |
| − | Early sites did not put much effort. The first emo site was made by the user evers, better known for the [[Stapler]] fad. It showed a diagram showing how to cut and arm, with an emo song in the background. Most sites though were relating to Angst (examples: {{link|yu-gi-angst|It's time to A-A-A-A-A-A-ANGST}}, {{link|sbia|Sponge bob is Angst (now Synchronize)}}). These sites used the song "Crawling" by Linkin Park, which was known for the following lyrics:

| − | == Emo and the Rise of Simple Plan ==
| + | |
| − | During the months of Augsut through October of 2005, the emo fad began to emerge. On August 9, the user fendraki created "[[Emo Song|The Emo Song]]", a ytmnd that features the song "The Emo Song" by Adam and Andrew in it's full entirety, accompanied by a collage of emo-looking kids. The collage was originally used for a previous emo site. The site enjoyed early popularity and ammassed a ton of views quickly. Recently though, there has been criticism regarding the site and the song, as the ytmnd holds a 3.93 rating. The Emo Song currently is the 2nd most viewed ytmnd, behind [[Blue Ball Machine]]. Very few fad sites would use The Emo Song.

| − | Around the month of October, an excerpt from the song "Untitled" by Simple Plan showed up. The excerpt was then used for a site by uberwolf called "EMO ORANGES", which showed oranges made with sad faces on them.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Eventually after emo oranges, Simple Plan's Untitled became the #1 choice for emo sites, These sites would show other people feeling sad, or preparing to cut themselves.

| − | == [[Myspace Suicide]] ==
| + | |
| − | On the morning of November 29, 2005, Josh Ballard posted a suicide note on a myspace bulletin and went on to commit suicide. The bulletin was quickly made into a ytmnd and ushered in a massive fast-growing fad. Sites parodized the original suicide note and used Simple Plan once again.

| − | == Criticism and Overuse ==
| + | |
| − | The emo fad has led to the most amount of sites on ytmnd, but it has brought a huge amount of negative feedback. The most common complaint is the overuse of Simple Plan's Untitled, being used in over 3,000 sites (probably the most-used sound asset on ytmnd). Others criticize the lack of originality with newer sites, as the majority use sad pictures or poorly done photoshopped images of people looking sad. The fad has been commonly associated with the group of [[NARV|NARVs]].

| − | ===Emo Music?===
| + | |
| − | Another criticism is that the music used is almost never emo, but usually nu-metal (in the case of Linkin Park) or pop punk (Simple Plan), and on occasion, even black metal. While there have been attempts at using actual emo music on sites, these have never really taken off.

| − | ==[[YTMND Soundtrack]]==
| + | |
| − | All 3 songs are on the YTMND Soundtrack. Crawling and Untitled were included on Volume 2. The Emo Song was included on Volume 5.
