I thought it was a kind of music. Like Fugazi, and Rites Of Spring, and Promise Ring. I feel so out of date.

Punk was also "a kind of music".

Is it just me or is does that post not make any sense? I keep trying to work out what you're trying to say and I just don't get it.
Jimmy the Squid:
The dude is saying that at one point the term "emo" did refer to a style of music, and still does when used correctly, but now also refers to a social subculture that is mainly defined by unattractive girls and effeminate boys trying to look like unattractive girls.
Also something of a pirate fixation with the way they style their hair into a makeshift eyepatch.
a pack of wolves:
I get that's basically what Emaline said, I just didn't see what snalin's post was all about. I still don't get it.
Well, everyone wants to be a pirate at least a bit.
Jimmy the Squid:
Ah, sorry I forgot the connecting part.
The term "punk" also refers to a style of music but also refers to a social subculture, one that is way too varied to describe (or at least, I'm too lazy to describe it) but includes things like mohawks, leather jackets and being kind of dirty (there's other stuff too but I'm being slightly irreverent).
I read Snalin's post as pointing out, probably unnecessarily that the words "punk" and "emo" can refer both to the style of music and the social scene but that "emo" probably refers more to the scene now than anything else.
I could be wrong though.
