   Punk started in the 70s in noth london with bands like the clash and the sex pistols and the damnd. Gradually what people call punk has become more commercial and pop via bands like green day and blink 182. So old school punk was very grubby and u8nderproduced. Emo has opnly been around a few years originally bands such as jimmy eat world were refered to as emo but now iit is more closly associated with the modern type of emo today. i think both musics sound kinda similar now but i guess to know the real difference listen to the sex pistols on youtube followed by jimmy eat world.

   it’s nice to hear from another punk. punks would always be independent as they are. emo’s are sad and depressed

   This may not be what you want to hear, but its true.
   Emo is a type of punk music that came to be in the 1980s. Emo was based on the hardcore punk sub genre so therefore emo is a sub genre of punk.
   Emo is just short for the real term “Emotive Hardcore” and was created to be an insult to the people who listened to it.
   Emo isnt what people say it is. Emo isnt a whiney depressed self mutilating group of kids that wear skinny jeans and have black hair.
   Bands that ARE emo: Rites of Spring, Embrace, Moss Icon, ect.
   Bands that ARENT emo: Panic! at the Disco, My Chemical Romance, Thursday, ect.
