Why do they call it emotion when the root word is emo, but emos don't show emotion?

Explanation

Experiment

The humor comes from the contrast between the word 'emotion' which is associated with feelings and 'emo' which is associated with not showing feelings. It plays on the stereotype of emos as being emotionally withdrawn and also on the linguistic connection of the two words.
