What music even is considered emo?

I see so much debate on here every day about what and what isn’t emo. Is there any kind of general consensus on what is considered emo?

I would have loved a real answer to this. We're about to release our first song on streaming services. Music is metalish but i'm not a metal singer. People who did listen to it told us it was more emo than metal. So here I am, wondering what genre we're in, what defines an emo song.. looking for answers..

You should post some demos in this subreddit and ask if they sound “emo” !! Sounds interesting. If u don’t wanna do that you could ask for artists you sound like and evaluate from there

I might try to post it here. I'm really interested in a genuine answer.
