1. (Emo) (63330↑, 20015↓)
Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

::sniff sniff:: "The Demise of the Siberian Traintracks of Our Rusty Forgotten Unblemished Love" sounds like it would make a great emo band name. ::cry::

An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this: 1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie) 2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands". 3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie) 4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team. 5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues. This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about\!

When she sees how sensitive and emo I have become, she'll definately go out with me\!

[Punk] music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer's feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the '80s, the name "emo" is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as [Dashboard Confessional] and [Taking Back Sunday], and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands.

"Emo" is not short for "Emotional." "Emo" does not mean Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional, despite what MTV has lead you to believe in the last few years. "Emo" is not sidebangs, tight pants, and male vocalists who sing like little girls about their failed relationships. "Emo" is not the use of diluted, meaningless metaphors and similes such as "My arms are like pinecones," and most definitely is not the rampant use of words such as "autumn," "heart," "knife," "bleeding," "leaves," and "razorblade." I just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands." Now, onto the real definition. In the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as "Emotive Hardcore," spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term "Emo" as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of "Emotive" Hardcore bands. That's right, "Emo" was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Black And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there's still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records' roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don't quite follow that philosophy. Often, more recently, this gets intertwined with post-hardcore, and understandably so - that's nothing to make an issue of, since well shit, at least it's close. Since the late 90s, though, bands have been emerging in the vein of Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the thousands of their clones. As far as I can tell, some lazy journalist somewhere, writing an article about them, decided "Well, fuck, no one knows what emo is anyways, so I'll call these bands "emo" - sounds more appealing than bubblegum pop rock..." and the spiral continued downwards into the current amalgomation of bands MTV has told everyone is "emo." Somehow, people decided that "emo" meant "emotional," which is obviously bullshit, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make "emotional" a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap. Hope that helps.

Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, and My Chemical Romance falls under the "horrible pop rock" genre, not the emo genre. Rites of Spring is emo.

12. (Emo) (2449↑, 1283↓)
Normally a 15-17 year old teenager. Considers themselves to be much more in touch with their emotions than anyone else; whereas they really just feel sorry for themselves. Most emo's will claim to be depressed, or simply misunderstood. They think they are unique, and fail to realise that they actually look like half the teenage population of south england. You can recognise an emo by looking for these general characteristics: SKINNY JEANS (both boys and girls) The tighter the better. If an emo can hardly walk because of their jeans, then they've reached optimum emo status. STRIPEY JUMPERS. Normally black and grey. If you're a boy, this should again be worn as tightly as possible. Breathing comfortably is a luxury you may have to sacrifice. TATTY CONVERSE. Usually drawn on, as most emo's regard themselves as artists. BLACK LONG HAIR COVERING ONE SIDE OF YOUR FACE. Vision can be compromsised for style as an emo. Try and make it as greasy as possible. Finally, emo's MUST look down on everyone else, accuse them of being uncreative, judgemental, and the sole cause of their 'depression'. If you're a hardcore emo you'll cut yourself occasionnally. If you're not, then you at least have to pretend you do.

EMO: I wouldn't expect you uncreative facists to understand my art. It's a statement. I'm all alon in this world, all I have is my poetry and my paintings. I am destined to travel through the misty and cold fog of existence alone and cold. My heart has long ago turned to stone, and now your harsh words simple hit the surface. The depths of my soul can no longer be tarnished by your small minded and stereoptyped views... ME: CHEER UP EMO KID\! :)

There are two types of emo's. 1. You have the fake, trendy, bullshit emo. These are the people that force themselves to be emo, try to dramatize their life, and think wearing black and cutting your wrists is emo. 2. The true emo, some who is overly emotional. Thats right, emo's can smile and be happy\! Many people suffering from manic depression are labelled emo, because they can't help feeling like life fucking sucks. Alot of them also cut, hence people labelling other people who cut 'emo' ((Also, to all the people who say emo is shit, and say 'dont become emo' then label people emo when you decide they are, you are a bunch of tosspots who can go shoot yourself in the face.))

1. Fake emo: Oh my god, I saw how awesome emo's are on tv, I so have to be one *two days later* *is wearing fully black clothes, make up, and is carrying a razor with them.* Fake emo: My parents don't get me. Nobody gets me... 2. True emo: *is being hyper and dancing* I loooove life *20 minutes later* God...I fucking hate this...dammit..

"They aren't punk, they're emo. Punk is Ramones, Social Distortion and Rancid. If you think MCR is punk, you don't know what punk is." Emo is punk rock music. There are many sub-Genres In punk rock music. "Emo is a subgenre of hardcore punk music. " Wikipedia "Early Emo's Influence In California, particularly in the Bay Area, bands like Jawbreaker and Samiam began to mix the DC influence with pop punk to come up with their own take on the classic DC emo sound. On Jawbreaker's album Bivouac, singer Blake Schwarzenbach evolved from the traditional hardcore vocal sound into a more melodic crooning, which displayed a more emotional feeling of loss than the desperation and frantic nature of MacKaye's voice. Other bands soon reflected the same sense of rough melody, including Still Life and New Jersey's Garden Variety. The style continued to evolve into the 2000s through bands like Avail and Hot Water Music. Also in the early 90s, bands like Lifetime reacted in their own way to the demise of youth crew styled straight-edge hardcore and desired to seek out a new direction. While their music was often classified as emo, it was also considered to be melodic hardcore. In response to the more metal direction their hardcore peers were taking, Lifetime initially decided to slow down and soften their music, adding more personal lyrics. The band later added a blend of speed, aggression, and melody that defined their sound. Lifetime's sound, lyrics, and style were a virtual blueprint for later bands, including Saves The Day and The Movielife." "The Second Wave (1994–2000) As Fugazi and the Dischord Records scene became more and more popular in the indie underground of the early 1990s, new bands began to spring up. Combining Fugazi with the post-punk influences of Mission of Burma and Hüsker Dü," Wikipedia Here is a list of all Punk genres Proto punk forerunners Anarcho Punk Anarcho-Skinheads Anti-folk Cassette Culture Christian punk Clockwork punk Cowpunk Crust punk Death rock Dance-punk Eeriecore Folk punk Funkcore Garage punk Glam punk Gothcore Grindcore Grunge Hardcore punk List of hardcore punk genres Post-hardcore Queercore Rapcore Thrashcore Horror punk Nazi Punk New Wave No Wave Noise Rock Oi\!

Emo was once a negative connotation on the new style of music created by such bands mentioned already (Fugazi, Rites of Spring, etc). Now it is an overly-hyped money making process, and has flooded the mainstream radio/tv stations. Trend following kids everywhere have adopted the "emo lifestyle" because it is the newest fad.

(Noun, Adjective) - A word of many uses, emo generally describes: A) A genre of music B) Style of fasion C) Lifestyle/subculture (NOTE - The following may be just slightly biased) Emo music (short for Emocore or Emotional Hardcore) is a derivitive of the mid 80's hardcore scene. Born in Washington D.C., early emo was a mix of hardcore punk with both emotional lyrics and performances, dominated by bands such as "Rites Of Spring" and "Embrace". By the late 90's, most original emo bands had disbanded or changed direction. From 2000 onwards, many bands have unwillingly or unrightfully been labled as emo, such as "Dashboard Confessional" and "Taking Back Sunday". Many "classic" emo fans and outsiders view modern emo music as warterd-down punk rock. Emo fasion or "the emo look" has a number of simple characteristics. For males, hair should be black (although dark red/brown is acceptable), greassy, have a long fringe and a bang covering one eye. For females, although dark hair is prefered, any colour is acceptable. While hair may be cleaner, it must still cover a large portion of the face. Black shirts and jackets are worn, although on rare occasions an emo may wear a grey or white hoodie. Jeans are the clothing of choice for the emo, although for males anything out of their sisters closet is fine. Footware is typically any sort of skating shoe. To complete the look, apply excessive amounts of eyeshadow (males and females), put on a pair of black horned glasses and start listening to your eyepod. Emo culture, dominated by middle to upper class suburban white teenagers, is characterised by weak music, self loathing and melodrama. After listening to some emo music (generally, but not always shite), emo-boy will log onto myspace to talk to his emo friends. After blogging about how shit life is, how he fucking hates his parents, and how the whole world hates him, he'll have a look at emo-girls myspace page. A quick look at the 17,000 photos she's uploaded (either of her looking into the distance, her looking up at the camera in a confused and drugfucked way or her at an emo gathering), emo-boy and emo-girl will chat to each other. The conversation quickly turns to how they are both alone and nobody understands them. Emo-boy has had enough of myspace (for a few minutes at least) and decides he is depressed. He writes a "deep and meaningfull" poem, before deciding to end it all. A quick slash of the wrists and it's time to sit in the dark and wait for the end to come. Unfortunately, he only drove the razor 2 milimetres into his skin, so there's a pretty good chance he'll be back at school next week, trying (not very hard) to hide his fresh scars and emotions.

A stupid trend. Followers of this trend, often referred to as [emo kids], think they are "alternative" (how is that possible when MTV stirred it all up?), when infact they are just as much sheeps as the preps. All emo kids look the same. They share the exact same values. They listen to the same horrible bands. Is that to be an individual? Is that unique? No. Most don't even know the origins of emo. Many of them claim they are "non-conformists". These days, "non-conformist" has lost its true meaning and is just another synonym for poser. How does supporting major clothing lines such as Hot Topic make you a non-conformist? You are the antithesis of that. Wake up. The emo trend is like hair-metal; in a few years you'll burn all pictures of yourself, being so ashamed that you had such an ugly haircut.

The third-wave emo movement is a testimony on how MTV (Manipulating Teenage Views) is able to pick up just about anything and mold it into a trend in order to make money, even if this results in mindless teenagers who can't think for themselves and destroying what's left of the real music scenes.

How to be emo: Wear only skinny jeans or old, crappy, tight, cut-up jeans. Wear tight shirts that you can barely get over your head. If after getting dressed you can't breathe and look like a hobo, you've done it right. No shoes but low-top Converse or slip-on Vans are acceptable. Anything out of Hot Topic will do. Dye your hair with the cheapest, least-convincing black dye you can find. Nothing over 99 cents. Fix it so that you look like you just rolled out of bed then walked through a hurricane and lost a fight with a lawn mower. Peirce everything you can reach, and put in the largest, ugliest rings you can find. Dark, thick makeup is key in the emo world. Never leave the house without putting on globs and globs of badly-put-on black eyeliner. Extreme amounts of bright pink eyeshadow is optional. Now that we've covered the emo look, it's time to teach you to act the part of an emo, so the others won't think of you as a poser. Flip your hair vigorously every ten seconds. If your neck is broken at the end of the day, good job. Whine about your pathetic life every chance you get, (twice as much if your parents are divorced) but never reveal that you live in saburbia. If asked where you reside, say something emo like, "The depths of living hell", "The home of sorrow", or some other pussy shit like that. Always have your MySpace mood set to "apathetic," and make sure to have about 986730865734567349576 pictures of yourself with extremely emo captions that have plenty of X's. It is necessary to be a MySpace whore, and to beg for picture comments in a bulletin every ten minutes. Only listen to emo bands such as Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance, ect. If there is an extremely popular emo band at your school, say that you like them even if you don't. Make it widely known that you cut yourself every night with a razorblade while listening to emo music. If ever asked why, say something stupid like, "I cut myself to stay ALIVE\! You would NEVER understand\!" Then run away crying, even if you are not upset. Finally, always deny that you are emo. Claim to be scene, goth, or a "non-conformist." But always keep in mind that you are, and always will be, a pussy little emo fag.

Emo kid: My life is a big black whole of sorrow and nothingness. My razorblade is the only thing that lets me know I am still alive. Normal kid: Fuck you, emo. Emo kid: Oh em gee\! I'm not emo\! I'm SCENE\! Normal kid: What's the difference? Emo kid: You don't UNDERSTAND\! Why does nobody get me\!?\!?\! *Runs away crying and cutting himself, preparing to post this event on his blog.*

I looked at the other definitions, and there seems to few people on here that actually know what they're talking about. So I thought I'd add mine, with a bit of history and background information... 1976 saw the birth of punk, bringing with it many sub-genres, sub-sub-genres, and sub-sub-sub-sub-genres. In the early 80s, punk had branched off into several different styles, and ways of taking the genre. In 1981 there was a large amount of "hardcore" bands emerging from the D.C. scene. One of these bands were called "Minor Threat", who had a very vibrant, and melodic sound. Nearing the end of 1983, the band "Minor Threat" broke up, after the band seemed to "run out of steam", and their last 7" single "Salad Days" in 1984 finally killed the band, and the DC hardcore scene. After that new bands emerged, taking the genre their own way. 1984 showed the release of "Zen Arcade", an album by minneapolis band "Husker Du". This interpretation showed much more powerful, intense vocals with slow, melancholy and more melodic song writing. In Spring 1984, D.C. Hardcore band "Rites of Spring" emerged, taking inspiration from the earlier hardcore scene. The band brought a totally new vocal approach to Husker Du's original style. Summer 1985 became known as the "revolution summer" when a whole wave of hardcore bands emerged from the D.C. scene such as Gray Matter, Soulside, Ignition and Dag Nasty. Few bands retained the original fast paced, hardcore style proposed by "Rites of Spring" and "Husker Du" but took a much more droney, melodic approach to the genre. These bands were then labelled the "D.C. Sound" or "D.C. Hardcore", and some of them were labelled "emo". It was never suggested by Rites Of Spring that the term "emo" was short for anything. Although it has been proposed that emo was short for "emotive hardcore" or "emotionally charged hardcore punk" in a 1985 flipside interview with the band they claimed they were "not a punk rock band" and it was never mentioned in the text that they were "emotional" or "emotive" although the term "emo" was used several times. Again, people took the genre several ways. Some people took an "Indie-rock" approach to the genre, while others retained a "post hardcore" style. Many emo bands were poorly paid, underground, and rarely heard of, and few records were ever released around the genre. Which is probably why today it is so easily mistaken and misunderstood. The "D.C. hardcore scene" grew, and with it, a stereotype fashion. People with a "Mop-top" haircut, skinny t-shirts and old trainers became a classic "D.C. hardcore scene" cliche. However, not all of these were "emo fans" nor were they in any way "emo's". It is suggested that this idea was taken, and progressed through the nineties to a much more "geeky" look nowadays. However, emo is a genre of music, argue all you like, your still wrong. Saying "I am an emo" is like saying "I am a jazz", which is not possible. Emo has been heavily marketed by magazines (Kerrang etc.) and a totally wrong idea of the genre is now being spread across youths. The early 90s saw a last breath for emo, with a much more softer, "Indie-rock" take on the genre. After that, the rest is history. It's a shame the genre was dragged through the gutter like that.

1) An emotional person. They are not [depressed] all the time and some are acually very happy at times. They do smile, they don't sit in a corner crying all day. Some are actually quite [popular] and laugh and joke around lots. NB: Emo does not mean the person cuts themselves, they might but that is not why they're emo. 2) A style. Quite similar from emo to emo but they try to make it quite unique. Some common features of emo's are: -wristbands/bracelets -long hair that covers their eyes -jackets/hoodies -skate shoes -skinny fit jeans -dyed hair NB: Not all emo's wear this style and just because you see someone who has one or more of the above features doesn't mean they're emo. 3) A genre of music. Some people find it depressing, but generally emo's listen to it because it describes something that has happened/happening to them perfectly. It's like the band has taken their memories and found the perfect way to describe it. NB: Just because a band isn't very popular doesn't mean it is emo and some emo music is very cheery and consoling.

1) I have lots of friends and we all joke and mess around but we are very [emotional] (emo's). 2) You see big groups of emo's in town wearing that style, but still managing to look cool and different. 3) Some people say [My Chemical Romance] is emo and depressing, but they have some cheeryish songs and their lyrics mean something to some emo's.

Emo kids are mostly seen with acoustic guitars and My Chemical Romance attire, as well as black hair that simply screams "kick me in the balls as hard as you can". High-pitch nasally voice can often be heard uttering the words "You just don't understand", followed by the sound of slamming door, then muffled whimpering as the individual proceeds to scratch their wrist, hoping you'll take notice of their weak and futile efforts to portray suicide and/or self-mutilation. But most notably, Emos keep records of thier so-called "problems" in diaries. These records mostly include pointless whiny rants:

"Dear Diary, those stupid jocks at school think I'm gay. Why can't they understand that heterosexual boys like me just like to kiss other heterosexual boys once in a while. They're so mean, and it depresses me... They say I'm Emo, even though I'm just misunderstood." *sniff* *scratch* "They just don't understand" "And Karen dumped me today. She says I'm the perfect guy, and that I'm always there for her, just like when her Chimichangas were too cold, and she ended up cutting her wrist out of shear depression. She says it's not me, it's her. She says I'm too good for her. I love her so much... I think I'll express my undying love for her by throwing my pillows and crying... and perhaps I'll write a love song and sing it off-key..." *sniff*

Dear Diary, Mood; apathetic. My parents are squeezing me tighter than my little sisters jeans...which look great on me by the way...people call gay cause like make out with dudes...or four dudes sometimes...but can't a guy be in touch with his emotions and make out with a dude or like four dudes and not be gay? well, I guess you wouldn't understand..no one ever does...where the hell are my candy cigarretes?

What is emo? What is existance? you wouldn't understand.

The other definitions of emo are all made by wankers. I'm tired of seeing entries either saying all emos are self harming and self obsessed bastards or that they're perfectly normal and all a bunch of fucking lovable people. Fact is, they're just like every other sorry-ass clique; some of them are cool and some of them suck more dick than a gay pedophile in a preschool bathroom.

Emo: We're normal\! Emo Hater: Emos all suck\! Person with common sense: Some emos are pieces of shit, and some emos are perfectly alright\!

a) short for the term emotional...in a musical sense b) music derived in the 80's... with such bands as Rites of Spring, Texas is the Reason, and more. c) can be used to describe a person who listens to emo, can relate to most of it and then cry because they can relate to it and not just because its emo. emo music is not punk. emo music usually contains lyrics which have a desperate side to them. written usually about a past girlfriend or experience.

This word has lots of meanings, but it is mainly used as a negative term for a fashion and music style that though perfectly acceptable is considered bad. This term has been used to stereotype people and deindividualise them(in particular teenagers) as something that in reality does not represent them at all. Many people claim to hate "emo's" meaning they hate people they stereotype as emo. This makes very little sense, as it means they hate someone for the way they look and the music they like. This does not reflect their personality. Basically, if used seriously emo is a term used by pathetic narrow-minded losers who just have no respect for other peoples tastes and seem to think they know what everyone is like by how they are dressed. They are also stupid enough to think a fashion trend will make someone self-harm. Most people who use the term emo negatively and seriously are people who can only see the surface of anything as if they actually thought about it they would realise that maybe emo kids are teenagers who were originally generally more emotional/thoughtful/sensitive than most and found the emo fashion and music to fit their taste. If thats what they like wearing and thats what they like listening to then let them and bugger off\!\!\! They wear it because they like it. Same reason you wear what you wear and you listen to what you listen to, you emo haters are not supreme beings who can decide what is and isn't good taste so get lost you socially conforming arseholes\!\!

Boy 1: Urgh look it's an emo fag Boy 2: What makes you say he's a fag? Boy 1: He's wearing makeup, how gay is that? Boy 2: He's allowed to wear makeup isn't he? Doesn't make him gay, just means he doesn't conform to his gender stereotype. Boy 1: Duuuh, what? Your gay... uuur i'm cleffer Boy 2: Yeah... ok mate, bye\!

A large subculture of mostly middle to high class(the poor can not afford the prices sadly) white teenagers that started in England,after the introduction to punk, when people started wearing black converse, thick rimmed glasses,long sweeping hair,and wrote songs with mostly melancholy lyrics.Today it basically describes anyone that does a broad mixture of these following things: wearing heavy amounts of eyeliner whether being girl or boy, wearing black nail polish, wearing black tight clothes that are usually bought either at hot topic, listening to what is labeled as emo music, being depressed, wearing converse, cutting themselves as a form of release, having hair that covers one eye, having a sad and anti social(accept in like groups of course) personlity, being obsessed with death and the thought of death, etc. Both genders are labeled as and are usually bi but i believe that this stage in many teenagers lives, including my own, where they become experimental and let their emotions take hold of them. Most of the time this is just that, a stage, and will probably pass before high school graduation. Most teens start this fad because they are socially outcast so they say and do things they wouldnt normally to try and fit in,much like any gang member. Sometimes these actions result from past traumas or any other countlessly possible things. Most emos are posers in the first place though,they do it to fit in,not because they actually like any of it or they just thought it was cool. Because of this and the fact that most of them are all too aware that they themselves are posers, the term has become an insult and can lead to confrontation in the group. If any other kids read this,than just remember that not all emos are posers in their little clicks where each of them is 'misunderstood'. Look for one that is willing to talk to all walks of life, you never know, you may actually like them.

Emoboy1: dude, your eyeliners smearing,let me fix it. Emoboy2: thanks.......i love you *kiss* Emogirl1: hey guys,look at all the cuts i made last night *shows the trophies for all to see* Emogirl2: oh that is so bad ass,look at mine.

In the late 1980's Goths & New Romantics would meet in nightclubs, have sex and produce babies. The resulting spawn of these two hideous fashion disasters would then grow up to become Emo's. Combineing the worst possible aspects of it's parents emo's are lving proof that two wrongs not make a right. Because of their love of Hitler-esque extreme side partings, sullen expressions and men wearing make-up crowds of emos generally resemble Neo-Nazis at a Motley Crue gig. Emo is a shortened version of Emotional & used as a name becuase it is thought describe their sensitive, thoughful state of mind, although a moore accurate name would 'Twats'.

A softer genre of rock music that is marked by its excessively melancholy trappings. This extends to the heavily overwrought song lyrics, the persistence of the "Emo Kids" to appear brooding, mysterious and tortured, and the bands' very names. "Emo Kids" are, to put it bluntly, constantly in the pursuit of the complete self-obliteration of any sort of perspective. Evident from the idolized paragons of emo culture(songs, that is) Emo kids dwell incessantly upon their emotions, usually of love, regret, heartbreak, and/or internal torment. To be frank, it seems that they simply cannot concentrate on anything other than themselves, while failing to realize that their dilemmas are not, in fact, very unique, and that everyone else in the world learns to deal with life...without forcing themselves to conform to some sickening subculture that only breeds self-imposed misery. Which leads us into the next aspect of the emo lifestyle--the cult of emotional angst. Emo Kids are known to be cutters, which, sadly, has cheapened such a dangerous habit. Before, shall we say, the Emo Era, cutting was not flung around as "street cred," of sorts, it was (and still is, to those who truly suffer from it) a psychological problem that needed addressing. However, the emo culture has warped this harmful practice into something rather glamourous, a sort of rite of passage. This, along with many other rituals, are self-inflicted, for the most part--that is, Emo Kids brainswash themselves into believing they are deep, dark, and mysterious because they cut themselves/write, for the most part, amateurish poetry/take trite, black-and-white photographs to put on myspace/etc. Emo Kids are nearly always teenagers, and though they do not like to admit, fill the stereotype of self-possessed adolescents to a tee. Frankly, Emo is a phase--a highly annoying one, but a phase nonetheless.

Emo is marked by an highly aesthetic element as well--tight pants, band T-shirts, argyle, and black-rimmed glasses are commonplace.

Emo was first a music genre, but now it is sometimes accepted as a social clique. What most people think it is, is someone that wears mostly dark clothing, guys that where eyeliner, and they all cut themselves. What I have found it to actually be is people who might not have the hardest of lives, but just enough problems to make them think they do. They are not as sad as people think though, they only want other people to think they are. It is just the same as someone who over uses jokes because they have a low self esteem, except sad instead of glad. They might write poetry, where make up, skinny jeans, and stuff, but most "emo" guys are straight. And emo's who are not faking it do not like to be called emo. they are just whoever they are, without labels. the conception that they cut themselves is wrong. some do, but I've met a few preps who take out a razor, to. emo's are just as conforming as all the rest, and the real ones will admit it. they aren't trying to be abnormal, they just like how they look.

-wanna be: hey look at me scars\!\!\! im emo now\!\! :D -real thing: no your not. your just a poser and your stupid.

Emo = Emotional Hardcore Contrary to popular belief, Emo is not about being depressed or cutting, it's not short for emotional, it has nothing to do with teenage posers who follow the trend of pretending to be bisexual, depressed, and wearing all black. It's not a fashion. The fashion that's commonly referred to as "emo fashion", is actually called "scene". And MCR and Fallout Boy are NOT emo. In actuality, It's a branch off of hardcore punk that started in the mid 80s with the punk band, Rites of Spring. They hated the glorified violence and restrained music that infected the D.C. hardcore scene, and took hardcore to a greater level of experimentation with more emotional lyrics and more melodic instruments. Soon after, a surge of new bands started forming and creating their own adaption of the style that Rites of Spring innovated. The summer of 1985 became known as "revolution summer". Good emo bands from "revolution summer" include: Rites of Spring, Embrace, Moss Icon, Dag Nasty, Gray Matter, Nation of Ulysses, and Fire Party. After the disbanding of Rites of Spring, Ian MacKaye (from Embrace) and Guy Picciotto (from Rites of Spring) formed the post-hardcore band Fugazi in the early 90s. who influenced bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, Far, Braid, and Jimmy Eat World. In my opinion, Sunny Day Real Estate are to mall emo, (the music that's commonly referred to as emo today) as Rites of Spring are to emo. They started the whole movement of mainstream "emo" bands. Happening at the same time, was the the unground movement of screamo. Screamo sounded similar to emo, but louder and with a lot more screaming and slightly different song structures. Screamo started with bands such as Antioch Arrow, Palatka, Portraits of the Past, and The Swing Kids. The music comprised of brutal yet somewhat melodic guitars, loud, fast drums, song structures that switch from quiet to loud, and obviously, screaming vocals. One thing that's not true is when people say real emo is a dead genre. because, while mainstream "emo" has taken over MTV and the radio, an underground emo/screamo scene still exists. Circle Takes the Square, Raein, Daitro, Haram, 1905, and ...Who Calls So Loud, City of Caterpillar are all examples of emo (and screamo) bands from the last eight years, most of them are still existing. It's not a dead genre, you just have to look for the real deal.

Please note that i'm referring to current emos. Emo, emotional, "emotive" (emotive is no longer a current term though). I know many current emos who describe themselve as emotional- finding "emo" to be an incorrect term (seeing as "emo" is a music genre, not a subculture). Clothes: Normally tight shirts and jeans, hoodies/jackets at any size (I prefer a mixture of tight and baggy hoodies), and Converse or Vans (I love my Converses). A lot of black and bright/light colors such as pinks, purples, and light blues. Makeup: Heavy dark makeup. Your eyes must show how dark of a person you are...lol, don't take it too seriously. Dark makeup around the eyes, making the eyes stand out, but sometimes with a bit of color as well (color optional). Sometimes little shapes like hearts, stars, or even tear drops can be drawn near your eyes with eyeliner as well. Nails? Black is a given, but many people like to mix it up; 10 different finger nails, 10 possible colors. Facial piercings are optional by the way. Google "emo pics" or something for a better understanding on makeup. Hair: Big bang swooped across the face. Again, goggling "emo pics" would give you a better understanding. Possibly a few spikes, lightly teased, and a little color, I believe it ends there. Too much further and you're in the [scene] territory. I love scene hairstyles, but i'm not scene so I shouldn't try and steal from them...even though they are a sub-sub culture of us. By the way, emo styles WILL very. All of those things above? You don't have to do ANY of it to be emo. The reason why most real emos would rather be called "emotional" is because it's the feeling that counts. To be honest, if you follow this kind of "emo code" to much, you'll just look like a poser...emos hate posers. Me? I mess up my hair and a little eyeshadow in a funky color, but I don't even do the heavy black eyes thing; I don't have enough time in the morning to put on that much makeup, lol. And no, black isn't mandetory. I do wear a lot of dark colors, but I don't always wear black. Two weeks ago I wore a mixture of white and tan colors, and i'm not any less emo for it. Mood/Style: While stereotypically, we are supposedly depressed, sucidal, cut/harm ourselves, write dark poetry, and cry 24/7, not exactly true. Maybe for some of us, but my emo friends and I certainly don't. I'm often depressed, rarely suicidal anymore (thank god), I have burst out in tears for no reason a few times but not regularly, and i've only thought about cutting; i've never done it. As for poetry, I write happy and gloomy poems, but most of the ones I write are love poems. My point of view? Emos are indeed emotional, but many...or at least some of us, aren't just "whinny babys". We tend to be quiet, passionate, loving people who are just damaged or bruised. More Mood/Style: Some of us tend to have a thing for stuffed animals/plushies/etc etc. Could be a dinosaur, hello kitty, [anime] plush, or a regular stuffed animal your aunt Lue sent you, lol. I don't carry stuffed animals around 24/7, but some days I can't help but take an anime plush to school with me. Myspace: Having a Myspace page is currently one of the latest non-fading emo fads. Get a lot of members, take a lot of photos, have an emo/depressing/dark layout, and be on often. Emo music: *sigh* I don't even really want to mention emo music. Too much controversy. "That's a emo band\!" "No it's not\!" "There's no such thing as emo music\!" I've heard them all. But, i'll list a few bands that i'd put in the emo category. You don't have to agree with me. Panic\! at the Disco, Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Head Automatica, Cartel, Fallout Boy (before they hit it big), 30 Seconds to Mars & many more. By the way, many emos wouldn't be caught dead without their mp3 player/music device. Conclusion: "So whats emo really?" A music genre. Emotional, or Emotive is the subculture. We are dark people, but not as dark as goths. We are similar to punks mainly in style, but are attitudes tend to differ. We are dark people, but loving people, full of passionate emotions. We look sad on the outside, and feel better to be able to admit our pain to the world- making us feel better on the inside. We're not all sucidal or cutters; I know quite a few emos who think it's uncool to cut. We think it's dumb, just like you, to cut for no reason especially. We are full of emotion, we are emos.

"I show my dark emotions through my clothes, poetry, attitude, and the music I listen to. I'm not a bad person, i'm just darker and more in touch with my emotions than you."

-Emos reach the peak of their agony, the resulting tears throw the world into flooding for 40 days and 40 nights. Iron Age: -Roman businessmen went bankrupt when people preferred seeing emos beat up rather than watching gladiatorial fights. Middle Ages: -The Mongols flipped out and started killin everybody because their tribute of concubines from china turned out to be a bunch of emos (guys and girls, the senders couldnt tell the difference) who broke every time a mongol tried to hump one. -buddhists went celebate after deciding that relationships with emos were too much of a pain in the ass since they kept whining about how they "wont call the next day", how they didnt say "i will love you forever" back and how the buddhists didnt show much interest when they tried to make them read the dark poetry the emos "poured out my emotions for you" into. -Aztecs decide to use emos exclusively for their sacrifices since they were more fun to watch, the gods, also enjoying the spectacle, reward their subjects with unparalleled riches. Renaissance: -Emos illigitimately infiltrated the samurai bloodline, and thus spread the habits of not being able to fight for shit, being afraid of christians, and killing themselves when the going gets tough, they popularize the term "harakiri" for the aformentioned activity coz it sounds more poetic than "seppuku". the resulting pussiness renders the country so weak it is conquered by foreigners and decimates the samurai bloodline (the contrary could be the reason for ninja superiority and kick-ass ways of life...lesson: never mix with emos, its true they're easy but come on...is it really worth it). -Spanish conquistadors render native americans helpless by showing them emos, emos are just too fucking sorry a sight... Imperial Age: -The Marquis de Sade discovers the full use of the emo. Modern Age: -The united states embarks on the largest and most brutal cleansing operation in history, they launch a massive campaign on europe and japan, especially the latter, in the hope that they will kill all existing emos, the campaign is covered up and an excuse of their actions is sold as "World War II", the campaign failed miserably as americans had not realised that the largest emo concentration lied in their own lands. 21st century: -With accusations that emos could be close species to humans, emo hunting goes down and they begin to thrive. Future speculation: -Due to increasing emo populations, and increase in being annoying fucks, people grow more impatient to their existance (except emo sympathizers, pussies who claim that emos are blessed with being in touch with the emotions of the universe, a.k.a. my ass) people speculate that a new world order will rise to rid humanity from their revolting existance...and all their pussy bullshit.

A group of kids who happen to like the same type of music as is 'in' at the moment. It is possible that they liked these bands before many others heard of them, and will continue to like them after the phase has passed. Ditto clothes. They have only been labelled 'emo' since the word came into popular culture, and is not one they would give themselves. They do not all self- harm (there is a difference between 'emo' and 'manic depressive') and do not all wear thick- rimmed glasses or wear all black.

Poser: What you listening to? 'Emo' Kid: *names band not many have heard of* Poser: Who? Two months later, the band have made it big and everyone knows them. Poser: OMG, I love this band\!

The emotional side of punk; the sad/dramatic side of punk rockers. People who wish to announce they are emo may cut hair so it covers (at least) one eye and wear eyeliner and layer their clothes [note: this does NOT mean that all people who dress like this are "emo"] Emos look at love and life through black-covered glasses and may occasionally smile if among other emos. Emos are known for hating "preps" [group of people who hate black and pop their collars]. Emo is also associated with cutting of wrists -- emos may do this and they may not, but if they do, they're just gay because that is something stupid to do. BE WARNED OF EMO WANNABES -- people who cut their hair, wear the makeup, pretend to cut, and generally act like a-holes. They are not emo. They are WEMO - wannabe emo. Also be aware (but friendly) to the ELMOs - they dress emo but they are happy outgoing people and love to laugh and be normal with their friends -- they are ELMOs (they try to be Emo but come off more Tickle-me-Elmo)

They make friends just like everyone else but tend to only feel really comfortable around others like themselves. Contrary to popular belief, Emo kids do not ALWAYS want to kill themselves. The cutting is actually an action from form of depression and many non-emo people do it also.

Emo is genre of hardcore punk music started in the mid eighties by a band called Rites Of Spring. Their lead singer had been a big fan of the band Minor Threat, and after their breakup, had decided to start his own band. It was similar in the musical sense, however the lyrics were different. Instead of spitting about politics and anti-capitalist themes, the lyrics were more personal, and hateful towards themselves. This new music managed to drive away many old punk fans, and attract many new ones. The DC emo scene exploded and became excessively popular amongst the underground. However, it fizzled out almost as fast as it had begun. In the early 90's, two new bands, Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbreaker, started the new wave of emo music. SDRE started the "post indie emo" genre. Bands that can be categorized under this genre could be Texas Is The Reason, Taking Back Sunday, Mineral and other music following those lines, that are often confused for emo. Jawbreaker were the new wave of emo revival, although still remotley underground, the music continues to be popular with the people who can search it out. Thanks to MTV, the perception of what real emo is has been completely changed and most people do not understand what it is, automatically assuming that DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL or anyone else with an acoustic singing about breakup is emo. Emo isn't pussy music, it's heartfelt, and hardcore at the same time. An angry emotional release of self loathing and self depreciation.

The style of music that band played was pretty similar to the emo stuff that Rites did.

According to popular websites and shows emo kids are depressed low lifes who cut themselves and want to die, when in reality we/they are usually happy people who are in a music obsession and want to be unique. Though to some they all look the same there are vast diffrences. One main similarity though, is the long bangs. However the bangs are still all diffrent ranging from coppy and angular to strait across and smooth. **SCENE AND EMO ARE TOTALLY DIFFRENT\!

When a kid, whose life is relatively good, acts like he hates himself for attention. Some of these little bitches cut themselves because they want someone to talk to them about their problems, but then they act like they don't know what you're talking about. Emos are so caught up in their little pathetic act that they think that their being different from everyone, when in reality they are joining an even bigger phenomenon. Can be identified by a shit load of eyeliner, black clothing, black nail polish, and listening to shitty music. Emos are becoming to the 2000s what grunge was to the 90s, and what hair bands were to the 80s.

My friend just became an emo, he used to be such a happy person but, ever since he started listening to My Chemical Romance, all he does is cut himself.

An oversused clique. the word "emo" is around because society made it. today everything is "emo"... we get called emo if we like the color black, or wear converse and skinny jeans. We get called emo if we arnt happy 24/7. we get called emo for having hair in front of our eyes. we get called emo for wearing eyeliner. the list can go on.. it is thrown around like no other lable. most people are too ignorant to know that emo is just a genre of music.

we are all guilty of using the emo clique. even those of us who bitch about it. hippocrits..

People usually become emo when a lot of stress is in their lives. They cut themselves. The most common place they cut themselves is their wrists. It could also be anywhere else though. They find it pleasurable and they think that this physical pain will cover up their emotional pain. Emo people usually wear black or gray clothing. Skinny jeans, eyeliner, skeletons (not always but mostly)and baggy sweaters are common for the typical emo person. Their hair is usually black also. Side-bangs that cover most of one side of their face is very common. An emo person tends to not talk to a lot people. They keep to themselves most of the time and are usually VERY skinny

Jamal: Did you see Jake today at school? Mariposa: Yea. When he asked me for a piece of gum today, I saw his wrists. Jamal: What did they look like? Mariposa: There was blood stains and scars everywhere. Jamal: O well that's nice *sarcastically* Mariposa: I think he's emo. Jamal: No duhhh

Something that very few people are. The style has mind-fucked every teenager into thinking that they are depressed.

Noun There are 2 possible variations of this word. 1. A person who due to circumstances, more often than not out of his control, is in a depressed state wherein the person can be happy and outgoing one moment to depressed and distant the next. Doesnt always have to dress in dark colors or have dark hair but is sometimes a sterotypical characteristic than may or may not be true in said case. 2. A person who actually has little wrong with their life but tells everyone they do as to attract attention. It is thought that by doing this they may be 'cool' or 'in' but in reality is not being who they are and is closely related to 'scene'

1. "Hey guys, you wanta hang after school today?" After school "Sorry guys, i just cant hang out right now... i dont even want to talk to anyone." 2.

It is a following of emocore, hardcore, or scremo music. derived from the 80's typically there kinda geeky scene kids, but instead of being shallow and self centered they prefere to stick to things that are more important and meaningful.

its basically described by society as a type of person or is basiclly a insult all together but in real cases its a type of music evolved from punk rock just like many other that evolved from punk rock as well. In Standards emo is dead well not nesicarly dead but lets just say is not so "easy" to find a REAL emo band now a days. If you people didnt know before Hawthorne Heights isnt emo and all the other bands out there such as like my chemical romance and what not are also not emo MCR is post punk or pop punk so is HH basically because most/all of there lyrics are sad or deperessing were in real life emo is about the instrumentals yes there a some emo music with no lyrics yes i know its ODD\emo\emo\emo\emo the genre of emo orignated in the 1980s time period 1986 is basically the most accurate time period and died out in the early 1990s and pop punk is suppose to be there so called "resurrection" the whole clothing thing has nothing to do with emo. Emo was basically all about the music they basically did have a clothing to go with it but it was basic and not focused on the clothing was basically solid pocket tees and no brand clothing with earth colors black ,white, brown ect. Now a days what you see tellum haircuts and multi colored hair and skinny jeans and stripped leggings and billions of more other things people call "emo" are actually "scene" Scene is a type of fashion that again originated from punk and has some of its aspects and like i said is called EMO by stupid people that have no knowledge at all and try to make people feel low and bad about them selfs. Emo is also a stereotype which is not a true because a music can not be a person or anyother thing cause its impossiable. The Stereotype is that most of people that are apart of 3m0 are typically sad all day hate there life are gay cross dress and so on when in real life all this is untrue people just make up these fibs to make people or mad or just because they dont like the style or w.e and try to cause other people to hate that w.e thing it is and other people to harm it. Some people actually try to make emo w.e a cult or something thats just stupid it is the real ordeal is its music that has died out and some other thing ressurected from and is totally different i think its wrong to separte your self from sociey yes it good to be different but separting your self or trying to be in a cult is wrong because with or with out the clothes or hair or acsessories your still a human being. i personally like some real emo bands and i have my share of pop punk bands that i like i like all kinds of music i think theres good in all music but im just sick of these little groups or w.e that are trying to be created trying to dress in a particaller style and listening to only one type of music or w.e gets boring, limits your you fun intake ability and everything there are no phiscal border that says NO DONT GO INTO HOT TOPIC YOUR NOT LIKE THAT OMG ITS SOOO WRONQ people made clothes to sell they dont give a shit if you it likes right on you they just sell it to get money and if you think it really looks wrong on you then dont fucking wear it all clothes are the same just the fabric and design and how you wear it is different and creating group and such are ruining peoples choices and basically life because they are limiting people clothing choices and mixing clothing is bascially POSERISSHHH :| come on thats stupid im just really pissed off and amazed how this is a big fucking deal wear what you want and talk to the people you want listen to music you want and stfu if you want to be cool you wont waste fucking 600000000 dollars on clothes just to talk to angelina or micheal or just to be cool its just pointless. For all you stupid people out there get your shit straight before you start talking and care about yourself and other fucking stuff that matter, and posers if being cool is fucking importaunt and following fashion and stuff is a need go ahead and waste 90343254235323255 dollars your just wasting your time

Once apon a time the term 'emo' was actually used in context. Meaning a genre of music, linked to underground bands and sometimes known as a sub-genre of [punk], [rock] or [screamo]. Now the word 'emo' is often used as a stereoype, which is insulting to one if not self proclaimed. Emo is now also seen as someone who is 'depressed' or self mutilates themselves, or someone who wears black. When infact they are just a normal person who dresses differently, doesn't like the whole gangta scene, and would rather listen to worth while bands than listening to 50cent all day round.

1. REAL menaing- "I saw this band playing emo last night, at that underground rave". 2. stupid person insulting someone they call 'emo': "God, your so emo." apparent 'emo': Why? stupid person: Coz, you listen to MCR, HIM, and Hawthorne Hieghts, not to mention your wear too much black and are individual". Apparent emo (indivdual kewl person): "Whatever, I'm going to go have a life."

Emo is an identification, usually used by [suburban] white teenagers. However, emo is a paradox that defies everything it supposedly stands for. An emo will tell you that they don't conform and remain individuals, but they all act the same, dress the same, have the same hairstyles, listen to the same music, etc. They [conform] within their own group, just like nearly all suburban teenagers. Emos claim to be depressed and angry all of the time, but they are in fact fundamentally happy and joyous. Emos say that they reject the values of the [preppy] kids, but still hold the core beliefs- denying those who do not conform, sleeping around, experimenting with drugs, and overall being suburban [wannabes]. Anyone who identifies as an emo simply cannot be in practice- they are instead "[wannabemo]s", somebody who strives to be an emo, but cannot.

Justin, Jessica, and Chrissy all claim to be emo. All three listen to My Chemical Romance, have hairstyles like the ones they see on Gaia Online, and contradict themselves.

Emo is a common word used to describe a group of nice, friendly people adhering to these standards (typically): -Long, usually straightened hair, flipped to one side of the face. -Tight skinny jeans, usually black, grey, reds, or certain neon colors. -Black horn rimmed glasses -Band shirts, striped clothes, checkered patters, all black shirts, etc all can be common apparel for emo kids. -Slip on Vans are a favorite for emo kids shoes. Typically any kind of skater shoe may be worn as well. In conclusion, I myself have been called "emo" and im your typical emo kid. i have cut before and do wear skinny jeans etc. i feel just the same as any other emo kid. i get picked on, made fun of, and called names because of who i am. Deep down inside ALL emo people are really friendly people. You dont even need to look deep down inside. Haters just need to stop judging us for who we are. I love EVERY emo person on the face of the planet. We are all here for each other, us emo's. Emo ppl RULE\!\!

Emo kids are dark, sensitive, and scary looking people but beneath all that there is a person who has a heart and truly cares.

Many People Think That An Emo Is A Person That Dresses In Skinny Jeans And Black Morbid Tops. Many Of You Also Think That An Emo Is Someone Who Has Dyed Their Hair Darker Than It Originally Was. This Is Untrue Lets Get Some Background Into This Shall We? Emo Was Originally A Type Of Music - Emotive Music - In The 80's And 90's I Suppose. BUTTTT Some Saddos In The Late 90's Early 2000's Decided That They'll Make Up A Meaning For The Word 'Emo' Which Is Commonly Used For Emotional People. EVERYONE IS EMOTIONAL. We All Get Sad We All Get Happy We All Get Exited We All Get Depressed We All Get Angry We All Get Bashful We All Get Undecided We All Get Bloody Emotions K?

Emo is a term that is short for emotive hardcore. Most people these days think that emo is strictly short for emotional, but this is false. If emo just meant emotional, wouldn’t it encompass all musical genres, because all music has emotion in it? If you only pick one thing out of this article, be it that emo stands for emotive hardcore, not just emotional. Many kids have the complete wrong sense of what emo is. Many earlier emo bands only released their songs on vinyl, and they were distributed minimally, so the origin of emo is lost among most people. This is my attempt at tracing it back to the start, in hopes to educate you. I’m sure there is going to be a lot of important bands and years missing, but hopefully it will give you a vague idea of how it all started out. With that said, let’s move onto the history of emotive hardcore. Heres where the term emo came from: When Minor Threat broke up in 1983, the hardcore punk scene was getting pretty stale. In 1984, Husker Du released “Zen Arcade,” which somewhat set the blueprint for emo bands to follow. This album had the rough vocals, but it had more melody, and was a bit slower than their previous works. Many people give credit to this as the first emo album. In the spring of 1984, a band called Rites of Spring was formed, containing members of previous hardcore bands The Untouchables/Faith and Deadline. This band kept the speed and stylings of hardcore punk rock, but the vocals were a lot more emotional, and at times even broke into a throaty moan. The lyrics also strayed from politics, and took a more emotional/profound look at life. Rites of Spring gets a lot of credit for being the first emotive hardcore band. Ian Mckaye, formerly of Minor Threat, got into a band called Embrace. Definitely different than Minor Threat, Embrace took a more emotional side to the lyrics as well, and were a lot more melodic. These bands, and much of the other bands on Dischord Records are now labeled as “The Classic DC Sound.” This was the first wave of emo bands.These bands focused more on emotion, than punk rock energy. Legend has it that while Rites of Spring, or Embrace, or Moss Icon were playing a show, someone from the crowd shouted “You’re emo\!” and that’s how the term got started. The show where it happened, and which bands were playing always differ with whoever you talk to, so I have no idea how true it is. Don’t take my word on it. From there, more and more emo bands started forming around North America. Moss Icon, which formed in 1986, started the loud/soft alternating twinkly guitar parts, and crashing distortion side of emo. Indian Summer and Native Nod, who were around 1995-96 are good examples of this, and focused more on the emotional part of the music, rather than the hardcore part, but were still hardcore. Emo was now a bit broader. Bands like Heroin(1992), Angel Hair(1997?), and Antioch Arrow(1995?) on Gravity Records focused more on the hardcore part of the genre, but were still very emo. The music is pretty chaotic, with just enough melody to pullthings through, and the vocals are usually hoarsely screamed. 1997 marks the release of Saetias fist 7” record, and the debut of level-plane records. I highly recommend that you pink Saetias “A retrospective” cd. At any rate, Level-plane records is probably the most famous emo label out there, and is still going strong today. It has released many important and influential albums, and is a huge part of todays emo scene. A lot of bands are getting called emo by the mainstream, when in fact they are not. The term emo has leaked into the mainstream, and a lot of emo kids see this as the end of the emo scene, somewhat like what happened with punk rock, and bands like simple plan. I used that example because mainstream bands i.e. Simple Plan get called punk, when really, they’re not punk at all. Emo is completely distorted from it’s original meaning, and the media is calling many bands that have no relevance to emo whatsoever, emo. Take Dashboard Confessional for example. Chris Carraba just plays acoustic ballads. There is nothing hardcore about it. The music may be very “emotional” and heartfelt, but even so, it is not emo. The same goes for indie bands like Death Cab For Cutie, and Bright Eyes. Conor Oberst is a brilliant songwriter, and I love his work, but again, there is nothing hardcore about his music. Another common misconception about emo, is that bands like Taking Back Sunday, and My Chemical Romance are emo. To me, these bands are strictly pop punk, although their lyrics may seem very emotional at times, but emo doesn’t stand for emotional, now does it? Another false interpretation of emo is the term “screamo.” I’m sure you’ve all heard this rant before, but I figured that I’d include it anyways. The media has used the term for bands like Thursday, and The Used. Because people call Dashboard Confessional emo, they interpret emo as “whiny watered down music for depressed kids who cut themselves.” With that as their idea of emo, it’s no wonder that people call The Used, or any other “whiny emotional band” that screams here and there “screamo.” With emo standing for emotive hardcore, the way I see it, screamo would stand for:Emotive hardcore + screaming, right? Wrong. Emotive hardcore contains screamed and/or whispered vocals in it already. Screamo = Emo. Just leave it at that. Even so, bands like The Used that are being labeled as “screamo” by the media aren’t emotive hardcore, so the term “screamo” is completely misused. The term “screamo” can be used for a band like orchid, although emo works just as well, but not for something like The Used. Screamo is made up by the media to sell bands like The Used, Poison The Well, and such, to people who don’t know any better. As I said before, with people calling Dashboard Confessional emo, it’s no wonder that they call any band that screams “screamo.” Alas, this is false. In summary, Emo stands for emotive hardcore, not emotional. Emotional lyrics do not make a band emo. Dashboard confessional, Bright Eyes, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, From Autumn To Ashes, and Atreyu are NOT emo. Screamo does not exist.

Some real emo bands are: Rites of Spring Indian Summer Native Nod Heroin Antioch Arrow Saetia Orchid Hot Cross Transistor Transistor City of Caterpillar Wolfsheim A Textbook Tragedy Takaru Louise Cyphre Boa Narrow The Mock Heroic What Price Wonderland Utarid Danse Macabre Zann Am I Dead Yet Dasein Cease Upon the Capitol June Paik A Fine Boat That Coffin SL-27 La Quiete Shikari Daitro Yossarian Is Drowning Raein

1. A music genre. Emotional Harcore, Emotive Hardcore, Emocore. A type of rock music origionated from hardcore punk. characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s. Emo broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000s. In recent years the term "emo" has been applied by critics and journalists to a variety of artists, including Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance. (wikipedia, for onece, it's true) 2.A steroetype that many people believe. It tells us that 'emo kids' cut their wrists, write poetyry/songs, lock themselves in their rooms, whine, cry, and most importantly, they are though to be posers. Yes, there are 'emo' posers, but there is, every so often, a true 'emo' I'm my opinion, 'emo' just means different and slightly more emotional at times. Not all 'emos' cut or write poetry, yada, yadam, yada, blah, blah, blah. There is also the style, which is more colourful, 'scene'. Also...give them a break, you don't know why those people have no friends or cry. You don't know what situation they're in.

Emo is short for emotive hardcore: a sub-genre of punk that came about in the 1980s. Since the eighties, the meaning has changed a lot. Many think that emo is just a fashion. It is true that emos have developed their own fashion - skinny/girl's jeans, tight fitting black t-shirts, make-up, and even a hair-style consisting of a long fringe sweeping over one eye and spiky at the back - but this is not what emo is about. I see emo as a state of mind. Emotional would actually be a good term, as emos are quite emotional, their mood swinging all over the place. This makes it easier to become depressed. EMOS ARE NOT ALWAYS DEPRESSED. ---some say that all emos cut their wrists. This is FAR from the truth. I will not go into why some do. I have never cut my wrist and I don't want to.---- Emos find roots in both goth and punk culture. It is like goth, but goth is darker, and emo is harder to fake. It is a fashion, a type of music, a state of mind and a way of life. Opposite: Chav Similar: Goth

Fake emo (poser): Emos are cool. I'm an emo. I don't think this make-up is dark enough, do I look emo enough? Real emo: I don't think I can live life much longer... (after five minutes) Woo this is great. Life rocks. (gets to school) Oh gawd, I wanna go home. *gets home* Oh, I wanna go to school.

Emo is a fashion for young white people Bought on by Low Self Esteem. Teenagers sometimes get low self esteem, and they don't understand why, Because it is Sub Conscious. Instead of figuring out how to Love Themselves again, and be happy, They cover themselves in a Modern, Young Goth Fashion. They hang with people who have the same self esteem issue, Thinking they are the only people who "Understand" them, They don't even understand themselves. Emos don't want you judging them (Even though they demand perfection with their make up and hair, Spending hours in the mirror making it look perfect.) It's hard to not judge an Emo, When they are labeling themselves, And when they want to be "Individuals", Even though they all listen to the same music, They all dress the same, Do their hair the same and talk the same way. And when they want to be "Non Conformists", even though they all act the same way, They Non Conform by Wearing Black and Make Up, But When It Becomes The Point of a Fashion, Then you're conforming all over again. When You "Judge" an Emo, They are hurt on the inside, And they feel that if they wear black, That can somehow protect them from being labeled, But nobody is easier to label than an Emo

"I'm an Emo, I'm not a boy, I'm not a person, I'm an Emo, so I'm judging myself but you mustn't judge me.

Emo is a lifestyle that is stereo typed by many people who truley don't understand. Emo the stereotype is people that are depressed and who cut themselves. Those people are called self harmers. Emo means emotional so as an example if you are emo you aren't sad you are realy sad(where the stereo type comes from which is a lot of the emo people so you see where the stereotype comes from), You aren't happy you are realy happy (Many people dont notice this as emo), you aren't angry you are realy angry,Etc.. Emo means you feel your emotions to an extreme. Most emo's wear all black and listen to rock music(usualy screamo). True emo people have real problems they sometimes look like normal everyday people without the hair styles, makeup, and all the hate. The fakes are middle class-upper middle class kids who think they have real problems when in reality they dont. They take and dye their hair, start wearing black, and listen to screamo or metal, and "hate" their lives. Emo people use music, the way they dress, and look to express themselves.

Emo people are milder than [goth]. Emos are usualy the opposite of [preps].

Emo is a genre of music, also known as "Emotive Hardcore", which was created in the 80s by a band who uplifted it all known as Rites of spring. Emo is a powerful and passionate style of genre that features powerful musical build ups, Vocalists screaming passionately, and Very Instrumental. Emo is NOT in anyway linked to how a person dresses or looks like, Emotions, or the action of one cutting themselves. Emo Is Legit\! Check it out boiz and gurlz\! GOOD emo bands I listen To: Snowing, La dispute, Pianos Become The Teeth, Algernon Cadwallader, Touche Amore, Loma Prieta, mewithoutyou, Weatherbox. Bad/Fake: Bring Me The Horizon, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Blessthefall, Brokencyde, Bullet For My Valentine, Escape The Fate, Taking Back Sunday.

Man Pianos Become The Teeth is my favorite Emo Band\! Drop Dead Gorgeous on the other hand...... FAILS.

How to be Emo: - Make a MySpace page, don't put ANYTHING in the 'about me' section except depressed graphics you can find online, and make the background something like bloody roses or just all black. Add a whole bunch of Apps that look evil, even though you know you'll never use them. Don't take any pictures yet, we'll get to that. Put all the other emo kids in your top friends. - Go to the book store and grab a couple of vampire books, since they're the only thing you'll be reading (that is, if you're FORCED to read). - Go to the music store and buy a bunch of CDs from My Chemical Romance, The Used, and more. If you need some ideas, go look at the band shirts at Hot Topic (and pick up a couple of those while you're there). - Now, not ALL 'emo' kids cut themselves, but the true ones do. Because they are emotional (emo) and that's where it comes from. But they are really depressed and messed up. Don't think that you have to cut yourself to be emo. Then again, if you're not depressed, maybe you should go for [scene]. - The emo look is something pretty much easy and expensive to pull off. First, only buy your clothes from Hot Topic or any place that has clothes similar to that. Never step foot inside Abercrombie, Hollister, Aeropostale, etc. Buy the band shirts (as stated earlier), a bunch of checkered jackets, and other weird patterned clothes. Your shoes have to be Vans, Converse, or those skinny, checkerboard ones. Speaking of skinny, you have to have a bunch of skinny jeans if you really want to look emo. No boots unless they're spiked, same goes for belts. You have to die your hair at least two different colors, preferably hot pink and black (girls) or red and black (guys). Your hair has to be short and choppy, preferably cut by you. Wear tons of eyeliner, no matter what gender you are (lots of emo people are bisexual, anyways). Some girls like to put bows in their hair and have a bunch of Hello Kitty stuff, it makes you look even more emo, acutally. - Make your screenname/MySpace display name something with at least four 'x'es in it. Make your statuses and away messages some depressing quote or song lyric. - Cry. - Date more than one person at once, preferably one guy and one girl. If they're emo too, they won't care if they're cheated on, because that's one of the reasons they're emo. - Write sad poetry and songs and sing them to yourself at school and when you're home alone. - Take a lot of MySpace pictures of you smiling and looking happy (some close-ups, some from weird angles, and don't take a bunch in the bathroom), and one or two of your 'real' face. Make sure the captions are depressing quotes\! :) - Hang out with people, but only in secret. Don't tell everyone what happens in your conversations, and NEVER SAY 'LIKE'. Act normal around your family. - Make out with someone of the same sex. - Look down on the populars as they look down on you, and never make eye contact with them. - Frequently dissappear. Like don't show up at school, or make yourself practically invisible. - Don't go to dances or parties. - Make your room painted all black, with pictures of strange things on the wall and candles burning usually. If you read this whole thing thinking it will help you be emo, then you're a stupid asshole. Emo people create themselves, they don't read GUIDES to be emo\! If you read this for fun, make another one just like it\! :) It's fun, trust me.

Well, emo people are like this, but who would actually read these things?

Most emos are fake, poseur losers. Often hang out with groups of other 'emos'. May or may not be homosexual. Wear skinny jeans and guyliner. Whine about life, write dark poems on [LiveJournal], and cut themselves. It is scarce you will ever see a real emo. Youtube search '[The Emo Song]', to learn more about stereotypical/poser emos.

I'm an emo kid, non-comforming as can be. You'd be non-conforming too if you looked just like me. I have dye in my hair and makeup on my face, I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs. ...Cause our dudes look like chicks, our chicks look like dykes, because emo. Is one step.

emo has alot of definitions on urban dictionary most of them make fun of what they THINK is emo. so i felt compelled to write what it really is. most people would define emo: fag dark clothing poser hot topic self mutilation sad skinny jeans myspace whore black rim glasses loser but the real definition is far from any of these things. what people are discribing is POSER emo. real emo kids dress however they want and dont really care what people think about them. they are themselves, sometimes they might take their emotions too far, but that is with any emotion. emo kids ,contrary to popular belief, are not always sad,sometimes they show signs of being bipolar. one minute they will be happy, the next they might be sad or mad.(schitzophrenic behavior might also be displayed)they depend alot on their friends to to bring them up when they're down, but most of them love life to an extent. THAT is the real definition of emo.

poser emo 1:oh, im so depressed\! poser emo 2:yeah, me too\! lets go to hot topic and buy dark clothing and more eyeliner. poser emo 1:then we could go to wal mart and buy some razor blades\! poser emo 2:yeah\! when we come back we could sit around and play that new hawthorne heights cd and write sad poetry on our myspace blog. ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* emo 1:dude, what do you want to do today? emo 2:whatever is fun emo 1:nevermind i just got sad all of a sudden emo 2:oh come on, lets go over to emo 3's house, you know she can always cheer you up emo 1: yeah you're right. lets go have some fun\!

Usually teens that have serious problems in their lives. They don't just make stuff up for attention, they all really have problems unless they're just posers. All of them don't cut themselves, actually most don't. Guys usually wear tight jeans and shirts and thick scarves. They also have black hair that is usually pretty long and covers most of their face, which is extrememly hot\! Also they are mostly seen wearing black, although they do wear other colors as well. Emo girls can have mostly any color hair but it also usually covers most of their face. They usually wear some kind of striped shirt and fairly tight jeans. Any way you look at emo it's pretty cool and they don't deserve to be treated any differently than anyone else. They can't help it if they have problems in their lives.

emo kids are cool\! No they don't all cut themselves so don't think that\! It's wrong\!\!\!

An Emo is a slang term that is enforced on someone by people who claim to be "cool". Real Emo's do not go round saying how much of an Emo they Are. There are Three types of Emo.

Type.1. Normal Emo. some one who listens to music because they enjoy it and not because they think its cool. they also dont stop listnening to music just because the band has been "discovered". this type of emo does not go on huge shopping spree's at the most expensive stores to "buy" their look. they wear what they feal like and are comfortable to wear. they are not DEPRESSED, they are happy and normal human beings, they see the world as a wonderful place. its just inhabited by lost and depressed people. Type2. Fag Emo. This is the type of emo that gives Emo's a bad name. they go out and max out their daddy's credit card on the most expensive clothing, they find the most underground music. they can and dont even listen to it. they wear band t-shirt's even if they dont even know 3 songs or cant name the people in it. Type3. Emo. This type of Emo is The least common. this type of Emo is one who rejects society all together and refuses to talk or co-operate with anyone who isnt an emo. they stand around and "look cool" they do things deliberatly to piss of comformists. this is the sort of emo that slits their wrists just so they can show it off.

Emo (an abbreviation of "emotional") is a term now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional rock's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage. It is also used to describe fans of this genre, most commonly teenagers. (e.g., emo kid). The actual term "emo" originated in the mid-1980s D.C. scene, with the band Rites of Spring. The term addressed both the way the band connected with its audience, as well as its tendency to deal more with topics of personal and relationship politics than with the standard themes of rock music. History: The roots of the emo style can be traced to two seminal bands of the post-punk era. In 1983, Mission of Burma's album VS did much to expand rock beyond its original constraints while still retaining its raw emotional punch. There are still emo bands around today, but most of them take on a full-on screaming approach (hence the name Screamo) like Circle Takes The Square and Saetia. In 1984, Hüsker Dü's album Zen Arcade established what is widely considered to be the definitive blueprint for emo: simple, raw guitar-oriented music with intense vocals and deeply introspective songwriting. As the style caught on, bands such as Moss Icon, Policy of Three, Navio Forge and Indian Summer evolved the form into what became known as simply "emo", a style which intensified the dramatic aspects of vocal performances in order to achieve a cathartic breakthrough with the audience. Done well, the result was powerful emotional release that often left emo bands and their audiences crying or screaming at the end of performances. While effective, such open displays of emotion made many traditional rock fans uncomfortable, and caused much friction between the two camps. With the mass-market acceptance of alternative music in the early 1990s, a new derivative style variously called "chaotic emo", "screamo", and "Emo Violence" emerged featuring a blend of the more aggressive parts of bands like Rites of Spring, mixed chaotic rock music and with abrasive, emotional screaming vocals. The record label Gravity from San Diego, California was a major influence in releasing many defining records of the style in the early 1990s. Significant emo bands include Heroin, Angel Hair, Antioch Arrow, Swing Kids, and Mohinder. Many of these emo bands, such as Antioch Arrow, were significant to a blossoming scene on the west coast of the United States. After the decline of the significant bands in this movement, the focus on emo has shifted to the east coast instead. Focus on Screamo has shifted to Europe. Later in the 90s, bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, Elliott, Christie Front Drive, Get Up Kids, Cap'n Jazz, The Promise Ring and Mineral explored a more moderately paced form of emo that mixed the early emo sound of Rites of Spring with the post-hardcore innovation of Fugazi and Quicksand. This style is sometimes referred to as "midwestern emo", due to many of the bands coming from midwestern American cities like Chicago or Kansas City. Today, the term "emo" is increasingly ambiguous. With the success of such power pop bands as The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World and The Promise Ring, the music industry has eagerly appropriated the term "emo" as a marketing tool. Consequently, the emo label is now wrongly applied to a wide assortment of many diverse guitar-pop bands, such as Thursday, Senses Fail, Hawthorne Heights, the New Amsterdams, and more recently to quieter, acoustic-driven bands such as Dashboard Confessional. Bands such as Bright Eyes are often mistaken for emo but are not. Recently, as emo has edged its way into the public consciousness, non-fans of the genre (and even some ironic fans) have taken to using the term as a condescending insult, representing the stereotype of the angst-filled and overly-dramatic teenager. Examples include "cheer up, emo kid" or "I hate emo-fags". Emo fashion: "Emo fashion" seems to be directly derived from pre-existing rock fashion and retains staples from it, including the tendency for dyed, flat matte black hair and multiple piercings; in particular, labrets and ear "plugs" are prominent. Rolled-up (and often times form-fitting) jeans and t-shirts displaying sarcastic slogans or images of old-time cartoons are popular as well. Also band t-shirts, buttons for bands, and converse all-stars tend to be worn. More recently, many aspects of emo fashion have become mainstream and are regularly sold at stores like Hot Topic. Emo fashion, according to its proponents, is deeply rooted in a "being proud of who you are", anti-consumer subculture. Critics of the fashion point out that it has become so mainstream that it has become shallow and antithetical to this notion. To this extent, various websites and magazines have taken to poking fun at "emo kids" and stereotypical emo fashion, some offering guides to "making yourself emo".

Just to clarify all emo's DO NOT cut themselves, cry, want to die, listen to soft rock, they aren't all depressed and normally dont have high voices because of a little thing called puberty. These are all stereotypes that pathetic people make up. The term emo came from a band called Emotive Hardcore. There you go now you don't have to listen to people's bullshit and can shut them up in 1.

A word that has been tortured and mutiated by disgusting and repulsive bands like Blessthefall, Drop Dead Gorgeous, And Bring Me The Horizon. Emo does not stand for some kid that cuts himself or dresses like a fag with black straightened hair and skinny jeans. Emo originally started out as a genre of music where bands put passion and EMOtion into their pieces of art. Wait a sec? they put what? -emo-tion, EMOTION. that is what it stands for. Emo stands for a genre of music where lyrics and music are emotional. Bands like, Snowing, Algernon Cadwallader and La Dispute. Listen to them guys, they are good jams with alot of emotion into them. So dont kill the word emo with your adolecent scene bullshit. BMTH sucks, plain and simple. Emo kids, arent "EMO" kids, they are just kids dressing like fags. Emo = Emotional genre of music.

Right: Person1- Man La disputes genre of style is emo\! Person2-I listened to them and they are actually so emotional\! the lyrics are powerful\! Wrong: Person1 -Man I love emo bands like bmth\! Person2- I know\!\! Oli Sykes is so emo\! its HOT\!

A stereotype used by teenagers to try and classify other teenagers, like [prep] or [goth]. A major part of a closed minded way of thinking that prevents people from making real friends and really getting to know each other. It's perfectly appropriate to use if you're fine plodding along with the rest of the herd and don't want to think for yourself.

(kid 1)-Hey, look at that kid in the black band shirt, he must be totally emo. freak (me)-Have you ever even talked to him? Don't classify people who you don't know, because you don't know what you're talking about\!

okay...for all you haters out there...emo is not a guy/girl who wants attention. emo is not wearing skinny jeans, eyeliner, having black hair, and carrying a razor. most emos are the happiest people around. if you think emo stands for "emotional" you are somewhat right. if you think it means someone who is always depressive, you are wrong\!\! emo is when you can be extrememly happy and extremely sad. so for all those people who hate emos, who dont have enough courage to be themselves,who are afraid of a color (obviously black if you all make such a big deal out of it), THINK what you want. but KNOW that youre wrong.

guy-yesterday she was so happy. today shes so sad. other guy-shes just emo.

Emo may refer to: A genre of rock music A slang term used to describe a wide range of fashion styles and attitudes somewhat affiliated with emo music The music: Emo is a genre of rock music. Since its inception, emo has come to describe several independent variations of music, linked loosely but with common ancestry. As such, use of the term has been the subject of much debate. At first, the term 'emo' was used to describe a subgenre of hardcore punk which originated in the Washington, DC music scene of the mid-1980s. In later years, the term 'emocore', short for 'emotional hardcore', was also used to describe the DC scene and some of the regional scenes that spawned from it. The term emo was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and strongly emotional during perormances. The most recognizable names of the period included Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater,Gray Matter, Fire Party, and, slightly later, Moss Icon. The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s. Starting in the mid-1990s, the term 'emo' began to reflect the indie scene that followed the influenes of Fugazi, which itself was an offshoot of the first wave of emo. Bands including Sunny Day Real Estate and Teas Is The Reason put forth a more indie rock style of emo, more melodic and less chaotic in nature than its predecessor. The so-called 'indie emo' scene survived until the late 1990s, as many of the bands either disbanded or shifted to mainstream styles. As th remaining indie emo bands entered the maintream, newer bands began to emulate the more mainstream style, creating a style of music that has now earned the name 'emo' within popular culture. Whereas, even in the past, th term 'emo' was used to identify a wide variety of bands, the breadth of bands listed under today's emo is even more vast, leaving the term 'emo' as more of a loose identifier than as a specific genre of music. There were three main waves of emo music, the first involving bands like: Embrace, Rites Of Spring, Moss Icon, Nation Of Ulysses, Dag Nasty, Soulside, Shudder To Think, Fire Party, Marginal Man and Gray Matter. The second wave involved bands like: Sunny Day Real Estate, Boy's Life, Cap'n Jazz, The Promise Ring, Braid, Elliott, Bright Eyes, Cursive and The Get-Up Kids. The third wave of emo (current) involves bands like: Dashboard Confessional, AFI, Alexisonfire, Brand New, Bright Eyes, Coheed And Cambria, Death Cab For Cutie, Fall Out Boy, From First To Last, Funeral For A Friend, Hawthorne Heights, My Chemical Romance, Panic\! At The Disco, Senses Fail, Something Corporate, The Starting Line, Story Of The Year, Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, The Used and Underoath. My opinion is that the majority of these third-wave bands are influenced by emo, but they are not completely emo in themselves. I refuse to get into arguments with anyone over this, so don't even think about it. The slang term: Emo is a somewhat ambiguous, controversial slang term most frequently used to describe a fashion or subculture which is usually defined to have its roots in punk fashion and subculture, as well as some attributes of gothic fashion and subculture. By almost all current definitions, emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe often brushed to one side of the face, dyed black, straightened hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rockbands, studded belts, belt buckles, Converse All-Stars, skate shoes, or other black shoes - often old and beaten up - and thick, black rimmed glasses. This is NOT my opinion of what emo is, but this is the 'stereotypical emo kid', so to speak. I believe very firmly that you don't need to look exactly the same as the person mentioned above to be considered 'emo'. When referring to a person's personality and attitude, many people think that emo people are honest about their emotions, sensitive, shy, introverted, broken-hearted, glum, and often quiet. Some definitions of emo hold that typical emo people are likely to inflict self-injury, most often by means of cutting, burning, or otherwise mutilating themselves (well that just has BULLSHIT written all over it, doesn't it?). Emos are also stereotyped (so, therefore, not my opinion again) to use depressing Internet screen names that sometimes contain straight-edge X's, often using ironic sloganry, a poetic sense or cliché. In the years since emo music's rise in popularity, both emo music and emo subculture have attracted sometimes severe criticism. The term 'emo' itself is sometimes used pejoratively, to suggest that the target is "overly emotional." Emo in general has been characterised as a fad which will be discarded and forgotten in the near future (OK, maybe it's a fad, but it's a frickin' AWESOME one while it lasts...I \<3 it). Don't come whining to me if you disagree, 'cause I couldn't care less. I am sick and tired of hearing people say things like "Oh that's so emo" or "She's such a poser". I've had it. People can dress and act however they want, and they can listen to whatever music they want. If you still refuse to see the truth and carry on with your incredibly ignorant point of view, fine, think what you want, but you can't change us. Thank you for your patience.

We are who we are. If you have a problem with emo people, but don't have the guts to say it to our faces, I suggest you shut your mouths right now. Just remember that every time you criticise us, it won't make any difference. We're too far gone, and we never gave a damn about what you thought anyway.

Usually self-indulgent losers who mistake artless public descriptions of their "emotional depth" and "suffering" for genuine sophistication. If they really are that miserable, they could try listening to The Smiths. At least they were witty.

Emo (or emotional punk) is a subculture of mostly teenagers from white middle class suburbia, who claim that their life is hard and nobody understands them. They wear mostly black but will often wear other stange items such as elmo backpacks (whilst crossing out the 'l'), or spiderman keychains. Emos often style their hair in rediculous fashions that can take hours to create. Emo's constantly whinge and whine about how hard their life is and how everyone looks down on them but don't realise that they make their lives hard by acting this way and dressing like that makes people look down on them. Emo's need to wake up to themselves and realise many people have it so-so-so-so-so-so much worse. I'm sure half of the Congo would give all 4 limbs to be in white middle class suburbia.

Emo is NOT short for emotional and it has nothing to do with how you dress or wear your hair. It is, in FACT, an insult word created by punks in the 80's to call the guys in emotive hardcore punk bands. Unless you are in one of those bands, you are NOT emo, and never will be. Emotive hardcore music wasn't even just about being sad and depressed and hating yourself. Sure, some songs could be about that, but they could also be stupidly happy. The difference between emotive hardcore and regular punk is that emotive hardcore had more feelings incorporated into the music. The only reason why some people think that wearing eye liner and side bangs or cutting yourself makes you emo is mainly because of stores like Hot Topic, but guys in emotive hardcore bands wouldn't be caught dead dressed like that. If you cut yourself, then you have a problem and you should get help, but don't call yourself emo. Cutting and other forms of self-mutilation have nothing to do with the word "emo". Just because you have problems in your life and you cry a lot doesn't mean you're emo either. Also, don't tell other people that you're emo because A: you're not and B: you just make yourself look like a whiny and ignorant person who can't handle your own shit.

Stupid person: I'm so emo\! lol I have sidebangs and I wear wayyy too much eyeliner :). I also rawr and think I'm a dinosaur\! My pants are hella tight and I cut myself with sharp things because I hate myself :O Smart person: Fail.

There are too many stereotypical definitions for an emo on Urban Dictionary, so I'm going to try to clear this up for those who don't know what they're talking about. Emo stands for "emotionally challenged", yes, but that's not a synonym for "melodramatic, cutting, freaks who over dramatize everything", because not every single emo on the planet is like that. Usually, the over dramatic ones are the fake ones trying to get attention from everyone. Emo people are usually those who have very difficult lives at home or in general, constantly facing problems that effect them emotionally, and drive them into a self panic. They usually think there's nothing really anyone can do for them, they feel very alone in the world. Its true, nobody knows just how much they go through in a day, with people criticizing, bashing, and labeling them alone. Most people are too dim or self absored to see through their thick skull and realize the pain these people go through everyday. When people start shooting off their mouth about how emos are black dressing, cutting, eye-liner wearing, melodramatic, freaks, that's only because it's what society has labeled them as. And maybe, they do wear eyeliner or dress in all black, but does that give you the right to bash them? Does that make them any less of a person? All they need is for you to walk up to them and give them a compliment and maybe even become friends. Because, if you do that, you could really really realllly make that persons day. Emos are NOT a frkn subculture, so STOP saying that, they're humans like you and me.

Random Dumbass: "Hey, look at the freakish [emo] over there, bet he just finished cutting himself, the dumb shit\!" Random Guy: "DUDE\! Wtf is your problem? He actually looks like a pretty [nice] guy. I think we all know who the REAL dumbass is..." *random Guy \#2 proceeds to go over and talk to Random Emo*

And they all say you cut your wrist for attention. That is not what "emo" is. Nor is "emo" short for emotional. Emo is a stupid sterio type all kids use because they think if your diffrent your emo.

There are two kinds of emo: 1 - Fake emos - "Fake emos" think they have to wear tight clothes and have black hair to be emo. 2 - Real emos - "Real emos" have real problems and dont always look how fake emos look. Real emos dont try with all their might to get attention for their problems but, pretend to be happy with the occasional cry for help.

Fake: O.M.G. My life SUCKS.(Lieing) Real: Aw, cheer up emo kid.:)(Dying inside) Fake: My life is a black abyss.(Drama queen) Real: Its a twisted world, my friend.(Still dying inside) :) Fake: No one understands.(Overreacting) Real: Hmm ..

the definition of temporary. Emo is the belief by adolescents that covering your face with dyed-black hair, wearing skin tight pants, a pink belt and a purple hoodie will help you fit in at school and make more friends. Emo is a concept so ridiculous and immature to anyone no longer in high school that it inevitably fades away after graduation and the so-called emos take on normal adult lives. Can anyone picture emo finance man on his way to work on wall street? or emo grandpa at the nursing home? or emo dad taking the kids out to a baseball game? Does any emo reading this really think that he's going to dress and act that way for the rest of his life?

Little Suzy Bjorkman, age 5, visited grandpa emo at the nursing home last sunday. Still sporting dyed black hair covering half his face and talking with an extremely nasally voice he spent the entire sunday spurting out random blobs of nonsense which annoyed the mature nurses incredibly. This was a combination of alsheimers and a lifetime of being emo. Come on, can any of you actually picture a grandpa emo doing that?

Someone who normally wears a lot of black, most times has heavy black eyeliner, and has a lot of misconceptions about them. The emos that most people think of are depressed people who keep to themselves and sit in their rooms all alone listening to MCR and cutting themselves. This is not true for all emo people. Many are tons of fun, smile a lot, and are extremely hyper one minute, and sad the next (sometimes, the second part is just cut out completely). Many people who are emo are actually ADD or ADHD.

Woah, she seems totally emo. Yeah, but she's still fun. O_o? She's like, ADD or something.

Emo isn't about the look at all, it's started to be now but many are just posers, emo is an old music genre-an offshot of punk/post hardcore. But since some lazy reviewers have started calling pop-rock emo it's got worse. Self expression features heavily and is a good thing to do esp. through art, poems and songs. The "Self-harm" can be for various reasons; a common one is distraction from emotional pain because for all physical pain emotionally it can be so much worse. Others, due to a fragile state of mind need to be reminded that the're still alive in a droning and all-to-painful world. But if you really think it's about fashion (well the streo-typed fashion); i'm a guy with long blonde *curly* hair, not emo, i wear whatever i feel like and never vans etc., not emo, i hate streo-typed emo music,not emo. So yeah, after all that i'm known as an emo, i don't label myself as due to stereo-types i am many things-none of which are emo.

Look around. Emos may not look how you look just accept society.

EMO - is more fashion than anything else, the fashion is mainly wearing black, jet black hair (covering half the face), lip piercings, eyeliner. Sadly emo get stereotyped to being kids who sit and cut themselves which is crap. That is NOT emo thats just a sad thing called depression (get help\!) and infact many "emos" disagree with self mutalation completely. Emos are said to be moody, dark and have bleak outlooks on life but most are happy and comfortable with their own styles. Many bands are also considered to be emo such as My Chemical Romance, From First To Last, Hawthorne Heights, 30 Seconds To Mars etc as they sing on moody and sometimes death related themes. Last note, dont judge or stereotype "emo" people especialy if you dont know them. You wouldnt want someone to judge you.

An "emo" guy might wear - black skinny jeans, black "band name hear" t-shirt, hair in his face, eyeliner.

A "non-comformist" who believes that in his/her half-million dollar home, no one under him/her. The non-conformist idea comes from the illusion that if they dressed uniquely, someone would understand them. It's 2010. Nothing is unique. For some reason, they keep believing in this submissive, depressed way of life. The Emo subculture generally consists of high school age kids, and the age group thins out as puberty stops. This usually coincides with the realization that cutting your wrists and having holes in your ears that could fit tennis balls is a bad idea. Emo is never to be compared in similarity of goth\!

I am neither Emo nor Goth, so do not mistake me as such, but I have realized this: If you call an emo a pussy, they will say you just don't understand, and maybe write some pathetic poem. If you call a goth a pussy, he will pull out a knife, and cut you one. Now, if you have any insults for me, well, I really don't give a damn.

Any one of any age. Does not neccesarily mean depressed (like Goths). Don't want to kill themselves. DO have dark hair (not greasy) and are often pale, from not going outside much. They like bands like Green Day, Good Charlotte and White Stripes (I would know). Only a very small percentage of emos kill themselves. Emo is also a genre of music, like Good Charlotte sings. Some people think Emos are hated by everyone. I get bullied at school for being one.

When you do kill yourself, don't expect anyone to come to your funeral. We all hate you. Let's see your wrists, see if you cut them. (grab hold of wrists) Emo Girl: No, leave me alone\! Horrible Teenage Girl 1: Why?? You HIDING somethin? Emo Girl: No\! Just leave me alone\! Horrible Teenage Girl 1: I think your hiding something. I think you DO cut your wrists.

i believe that the deffinition of emo is a person not afraid to express themselfs. not affraid to be different. doesnt care what other people think. will dress however they want. personaly, i believe that generally, emo people tend to be more attracting...in an odd way. normally emo's tend to either have black, brown, or multicolored hair. some emo's have bright blonde or white hair. they have scene hairstyles, dark eyeliner, and lots of makeup (normally). there is another deffinition to emo (i think) that is people who are really depressed & cut themselfs. they tend to dress darkly and dont talk much. when they do, they bite your head off

Emo is ONLY an insult given by Punks directed towards the avid fans of Emotive Hardcore Punk & the genre itself. Emotive started in the mid/early 80's in the D.C. Hardcore scene. Emotive is essentially watered down Hardcore Punk. This type of music wasn't accepted in the scene, thus the term Emo was born. 2 of the most noted bands to take this form of Punk in a new direction, was Rites Of Spring & Embrace. Guy Picciotto, the lead singer of Rites Of Spring; most famous for his work in Fugazi, paved the way for what we now know as Emotive Hardcore Punk. Ian MacKaye, most famous for his Hardcore Punk band Minor Threat & the creation of Straight Edge; was also was a defining band. Emotive in the '80's resembled it's parent genre, with more emotionally charged lyrics & a new tone. But in the '90's Emotive took a totally different feel. Emotive in the '90's took a more Indie feel to their music. More commonly known as Post-Emo, it was bands like Cap'n Jazz, Jets To Brazil, Joan Of Arc, Sunny Day Real Estate, etc etc... Cap'n Jazz helped transform emo from a deeply underground Punk sub-genre, into a more widely accepted subset of Indie rock. Emotive in the '90's also gave birth to what we now know as Screamo (Skramz). Screamo (Skramz) is somewhat of a misnomer. Though the genre often had screaming vocals, it wasn't the focus of the genre. Skramz is a more chaotic way of playing it's parent genre.

Rites Of Spring is Emo. I Hate Myself is Emo. Dashboard Confessional is NOT Emo. My Chemical Romance is NOT Emo. After School Knife fight is Skramz. Toru Okada is Skramz. Avenged Sevenfold is NOT Skramz. Bullet For My Valentine is NOT Skramz.

All and all they are pitiful excuses of their own species and are disgraces to humanity.

An Off Shoot Of 80's Punk, emo is basically a more femine version of punk. the word emo comes from the word emotive NOT emotional as most people seem to think. Emo fashion is generally tight jeans, long fringe with the back short, the fringes vary in colour (common colours being red, blue and blonde) but the short spikes are 90% of the time black the rest of the time they have long plantinum blonde hair. band tshirts and stripy clothing are the norm in emo fashion as is normal shirts that have been modified by them. in general emos are either christian or athiest though there are a percent who like to fancy the idea of being satanist (but fail miserable as satanism fails) emo music is made up of many good bands and also many SHIT bands...shit ones being hawthorne heights, the used and underoath. good emo bands are escape the fate, from first to last and atreyu. emo has been around for ages but it comes and goes, each time slightly different. a large percent of emo's claim to be bisexual, around a third of the time this isnt true they just think it makes them seem cool. scene emos are annoy little twats, who piss me off endlessly. true emos..not scene that is..are usually cool people once you get to know them and soem of my closest friends are emo.

A relatively new form of douchebaggish behavior (sometimes, a complete lifestyle) where usually well off teens ignore the fact that they can be an individual without having to look stupid to get attention. The "look" can involve multi colored scarfs which don't match a damn other article of clothing worn, even leg warmers have been seen, multiple piercing's seem to be a must, the ever enlarging earlobe hoops which can get so big you can stick an erect penis in them, dyed hair of any color, and once again, it won't even match the scarf, and it's only part or parts of the hair, usually the front or top. Then the hair is cut in different ways, almost always it is combed to an angle across the face, sometimes covering an eye. Goofy glasses, men with makeup, women without, lots of black outfits, wristbands that actually may match the scarf, but seriously doubt it.

I have a bunch of fun telling random "emo kids" over the interweb that their clique is in fact a lie. It seems as though nobody cares though, because they'd rather wallow in their ignorance and fake depression. Well, I've decided to just post a blog since I've posted this rant all over the interweb plenty of times. First of all, "emo" DOES NOT stand for "emotional." Emo stands for EMOTIVE HARDCORE PUNK. Emotive hardcore punk is 99% a dead genre. It lasted from the mid 80s-90s and wasn't very popular. Ian Mackeye (my hero) was a huge part of both the punk and emo scenes, and the punk and emo scenes weren't too different. Emo bands= rites of spring embrace texas is the reason saetia(violence) jawbreaker circle takes the square\<(violence) fugazi sunny day real estate (post) (There's plenty more, but you get the point) Lastly, PEOPLE CAN NOT BE EMO. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BE A PART OF A DEAD MUSIC GENRE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO ANY OF THE MUSIC OF THE GENRE. Emo came and went, and no, it didn't evolve. Listen to any of those bands then listen to an mcr song. They're wayyy different. Face it, emo is dead. If you call yourself "emo," you're probably a miseducated scene kid, and if you call yourself "emo" and you've never been to a show, you're not a scene kid... you're just a kid dying to fit in. (I personally don't like scene kids in general) Just stop slapping labels on yourselves, and get on with life.

Emo stands for 'emotional' and it shows that you're not afraid to hide your feelings. A lot of the reviews I've read are extremely negative about emos. I find this extremely annoying and prejudiced, I mean, how can they say that when they don't even know the person? The situation is generally "Oh, look its an emo, get her/him" and then you're in extreme pain even before youve had time to hitch up your trousers to run for it. Believe me, emos don't dress the way they dress for attention-they express how they hurt inside. (And the fringe is probably to hide the black eye from yet another beat-up) Why, why, why do emos cause such an effect on people? What have they ever done to THEM? And just what is the point of hating ALL emos? Emo bands are widely feared/hated too, and some newspapers even tried to turn parents against their own children, sying 'oh emo this and emos that' but emo doesnt really have anything to DO with self harm. Self harm is not a trend or a style-its a disorder. (listen to My Cheical Romance-Its not a fasion statement, its a deathwish)

Originally started as a type of music genre, emo has evolved into a type of style for young teens. Many emo people are considored posers by people not in their cliques. Many people who considor themselves as emo are in fact not emo, but just favor the style. Posers who get a little carried away tend to cut themselves to show off how emo they are. People who considor themselves emo are most likely not emo, unless you count what their friends say. People who do NOT considor themselves emo are probably more emo than the other type of emo, who considor themselves emo. REAL emo people most likely have depression disorders and mood problems.

Ex 1 (Poser Emo): Emo \#1- Hey dude, your cuts make you look so emo right now. Emo \#2- I know, right? Ex 2 (Emo): - Guy \#1- Hey dude . . . are you emo? Emo \#1- I don't know . . . I don't really care. I'm just kind of depressed.

short for emotional the opposite of being emo-less -they were traumitized as a kid -they cut themselves to feel pain, because they were sheltered all their life -they blow things out of proportion, to see if anything will happen -they are too poor to afford nice shiny clothes so they wear cheap black clothes -they like things they can relate to, its very hard to come by -like music with "emotion" in it, not shallow music or slow paced helpless music -the solitude makes them deep -poser emo's are idiots that need to get shot on sight -someone who stops being emo has a greater understanding of critical depressing situations, after they stop being emo they either become normal-or very active, or become emo-less, that actually don't care about most people posers are scene kids, goth kids, punk kids, but if you want to make someone emo you just have to traumitize them and make them feel like shit, so they don't lose it and kill everyone including you then commit suicide, idiots at virginia tech -.o the younger they are the greater the success rate methods of causing traumitization are... stuff...

Emo is ONLY an insult given by Punks, directed towards the avid fans of Emotive Hardcore Punk & the genre itself. Emotive Hardcore Punk started in the mid/early 80's; with Hardcore Punk bands that added more emotional lyrics to their songs. Since they did this, they were no longer considered Hardcore Punk. Emotive is essentially watered down Hardcore Punk. That being said; Emotive is still Punk. It's still a sub-genre of Hardcore Punk. They still follow the same DIY ethics as Punks, & still have the same mindset. The most noted bands to take this form of Hardcore Punk in a new direction was; Embrace & Rites Of Spring. Ian MacKaye the lead singer of Embrace; famous for the Hardcore Punk band Minor Threat, the creation of the subculture Straight Edge, & Dischord Records. Guy Picciotto the lead singer of Rites Of Spring; famous for the Emotive band Fugazi & creator of Emotive itself. (Arguably) Started the genre in the mid '80's. Emotive in the 80's resembled it's parent genre. In the '90's it took a different feel. Cap'n Jazz & a few other bands took a more Indie feel to their music. Cap'n Jazz with their only album Shmap'n Shmazz; took Emotive from a from a deeply underground Punk sub-genre, to a more widely accepted subset of indie rock. Which is why Emo is widely known, & respected in the Indie subculture. Skramz (screamo), a sub-genre of Emotive; was Emotive with a more chaotic playing style. The name of the genre is a misnomer. Though the genre often had screaming vocals, it wasn't the focus of the genre. Skramz was just a way of playing more chaotic music, as most Punk was. Skramz started in the early '90's & lives to this day. Emotive, along with Skramz, were underground genres. With underground labels. They're not widely known, or heard. You won't hear them on the radio, or find them in your local commercialized record store. This is the backbone of all Punk music, & it's sub-genres. Common misconceptions of Emo; Emo is a style, Emo means Emotional, Emo is depressed, or people who self-mutilate themselves. All these are false\! The media has bastardized the genre. In 2003 an article called The Dashboard Confessional Emo. Since this happened, other alike bands have been given the same assumption. You're practically pawns of the media for believing them. It is now widely believed that this style, which is actually FashionXcore a fashion stole from Visual Kei; closely related to J-Rock, which has been played upon by corporations like Hot Topic. They only plan on making money, & don't care what they ruin, or put in it's place. I've heard recently that Emo died in the '90's. This is also false. Fugazi, a monumental Emotive band that both Ian MacKaye, & Guy Picciotto were both in; were touring & creating records till '01, with their 6th LP. Emotive will still live on with Skramz. In no way is Emotive dead. As long as people still listen to the genre, there will be Emo. You're not emo unless you either listen to Emotive Hardcore Punk, or you're in an Emotive band. Simple\! I will leave this with some Emotive, Skramz, & some Indie/emo bands: Evergreen, I Hate Myself, Joan Of Arc, Joshua Fit For Battle, Mass Movement Of The Moth, Violent Breakfast, Suis La Lune, Circle Takes The Square, Saetia, Raein, Get Fucked, American Football, Jeromes Dream, Yaphet Kotto, Neil Perry, Amber Inn, Funeral Diner, Harriet The Spy, Cowboys Are Indians, City Of Caterpillar, etc etc...

your typical faggy guy at your school that acts like his life is less desirable than anyone else that tells him/her otherwise. these guys/girls fashion sense is just a knockoff of every other punk/goth kid you know. the guys would shop for girls jeans before they started making fag jeans for them to wear so they didn't feel so pussy about shopping in the women's macy's. the girls are attracted to the guys because they're really dykes in the closet who just can't come out until college when they join a sorority. so for the meantime they date dudes that look like them because either way the emo guys have pencil dicks so it's more like rubbing pussies when they fuck. these pathetic souls couldn't find their clique in high school or middle school so they felt a need to make their own faggy clique and act like they're too good for everyone else, ironically how almost every clique in hs is. if you try to fight these social retards it's not even fun since they won't even lift a finger. plus they just want a real reason to bitch about their life and cry about it on their myspace blog. all in all, these kids act like their all unique even though they all wear girl jeans and spend 2 hours doing their hair so it perfectly covers one of their eyes. evidently they all are just a mass produced fagboy/girl that even the nerds at your school don't want to hangout with. it's hard to tell how long this fad/trend will last but only time will tell. it's up to the music labels to get rid of trash artists like fallout boy and chemical romance so these musically handicapped souls can't find any jams to mutilate their bodies to. there is no such thing as a poser emo because every single one of them is a poser yuppy in the first place. this might be why it is so difficult for these people to not take offense to the "emo" label. fuck you lame ass emos take off the fag jeans and get a psychiatrist you whiney pussies.

Ted: so when did xxskylarxx become so emo? Brian: i dunno i thought he was trying to sleep with one of those dykes but it looks like he hit rock bottom. Ted: nah i think he's just being a whiney lil bitch cuz his rich daddy didn't buy him a car for his 16th bday. Brian: well that explains why he dresses like a transvestite. he must be trying to punish his parents by trying to look like a fag Ted: i think you're right. what a lil emo cockboy. seriously can his dick even breathe in those fag jeans?

Emo culture in england.. Its subculturial plagiarism. A cancer of social uniques. Absorbing its favourite bits of symbolic social groups, creating a mainstream mash-up thats easy to follow with mass appeal. Its prime targets will be "cool" underground scenes or movements. These are discovered, expoited, they quickly become commerical, thus ruining the appeal of feeling "different" while still being apart of something. It's the lust to be unique, but at the same time feel apart of a group that fuels this popular social tend. It seems appeal mainly but not exclusively to middleclass white boys with no clue about pussy or music.

skinny fit jeans from the 70s, flat peak caps from hip hop, bright luminous colour from 90s house/rave/dance, gloth/grunge jewelry and make up, converse/indie shoes, jock checkered shirts, metro/indie hair cuts. blokes wearing make up. Someone that likes pendulem or chase and status or says they like dubstep but didnt know what it was 3 years ago. They like "nu rave" which isn't even a real genre.

Emo people have low self confidence, and are usually sensitive. Many of them are easily upset and are sometimes depressed at small matters and overreact. They many times wear out-of-the-ordinary clothing much as skinny ties, tight jeans, hoodies and sweaters, horn-rimmed glasses, studded belts, bands shirts, and much of the clothing is either very dark or brightly colored. Some clothing have stripes, stars, broken hearts, skulls, or checkerboards. They often have friends who are also emo, goth or punk. Popular Emo Rumors: 1. All emos cut. No, not all emos cut themselves. Some like self-inflicted wounds, while others prefer to express themselves through other things, such as poetry and songs. But if an emo cuts themselves, that doesn't mean they don't write poems or songs, as this is not uncommon in an emo. 2. Emos worship Satan(Or the devil...W/e) No. Simply no. This was most likely sterotyped from the fact that they wear dark clothing, and some have anchany symbols or skulls on clothing. 3. All emos are depressed ALL THE TIME. No. Emos can laugh and love others like anyone else. Emos are simply get depressed more easily than most people. They are often NOT as depressed as everyone thinks, and really, well, ya.

Emo's listen to unimaginitive music and dress in tight clothing and ridiculously stupid hair styles. The cure for Emo is a stint in the army where they will get shipped off to the mountains of Afghanistan and discover that now they really do have something to feel bad about.

Contrary to popular belief the term 'emo' actually rooted from 'emotive hardcore,' a genre of music arising in Aberdeen, WA in the late-eighties-early-ninties. A group of kids were inspired by [Kurt Cobain] of [Nirvana]. However, their music had a much more emotive edge to it than grunge does, hence creating it's own genre 'emotive hardcore.' The majority of the fanbase seen at these shows seemed to fit into a certain category of people, becoming known as 'the emo kids.' Somehow emo developed into a stereotype commonly mistaken to mean 'emotional,' but that's WRONG.

"So who's playing at the show tonight?" "Uhh like [Senses Fail], [Saosin], [The Number Twelve Looks Like You]...." "So basically a bunch of emo bands."

Like its sulky teen predecessor, [Goth], this is a style movement pretending to be a musical movement. Emo "music" (characterised mainly by whining) is completely secondary to the Emo image (hilariously badly-cut dyed black hair, distressingly tight trousers, black nail polish, etc).

Cutter would be the term for cutting yourself. Okay?

The other 1200 definitions explain the term itself and its origins better than I can here, but it is important to note that the music and accompanying culture currently labeled "emo" by the press and popular media (as well as by the kids themselves) is essentially the same music and culture we all would have simply referred to as "alternative" a decade ago, and which has been shoveled into the media-created pigeonhole formerly occupied by the (arguably artificial) subgenre of "alternative" music known as "grunge" back in the '90s.

Emoism a sexually transmitted disease commonly found in angsty teens and preteens. This disease is characterized by poor taste in clothing, too tight pants, too small shirts, retarded scarves, and hair that needs to cover at least half the face. This disease is usually spread in suburbia but can also be found elsewhere. This disease is usually spread during the emo mating ritual(See Emo def \#3). Unfortunately this STD cannot be stopped by any known STD blocker (condom, abstinence, etc). Care should also be taken when their music is playing due to the high risk of brain damage and/or complete stupidity.

Emo is a music type and sub-culture. This will cover the sub-culture. Emo is short for emotional. People who are "Emo" tend to wear tight jeans and a black T-shirt or colourful T-shirt. Their hair is usually just past shoulder length, dyed black or white blonde and covers one eye. A common belief is that emos are severely depressed suicidal homosexual melodramatic attention-seekers. This is not the case. It is true some are depressed/suicidal/homosexual/melodramatic/attention-seeking, but a lot of them aren't. They are usually down to earth, easy to talk to, get along with, non-threatening. If your going through something tough in your life they are good people to talk to because they aren't judging, understand life and are able to keep secrets. So don't be an [emo-hater] just because they're not "Mainstream" like you. They are just more deep, friendly and understanding then you.

The best known definition for 'emo' is a fashion movement among teens (usually 13-18) involving things like skinny jeans, band tees, wristbands, studded belts, horn-rimmed glasses, eyeliner, and black, choppy hairstyles, often with exotic colors like red or pink. It also brings to mind sort of a whole attitude. And I am not going to say that emos are whiny, self-centered little brats who only cut and act depressed because they think it's cool. That is a common and insulting misconception. The more correct definition is that emos are teens who are more emotional and sensitive than most. They're pretty dark and tend to be very thoughtful and deep. Many have been diagnosed with depression and even more do self-harm. The brats I mentioned before are the POSERS. The total fakes and wannabes that give the subculture a bad name. Most emos are very sensitive, and are also often artistic and like writing songs and poetry that aren't always necessarily about death and darkness. I believe the posers are more common than the real thing, so most non-emos are left with the impression that emos are whiny, angsty teens that think they're oh-so-unique. This is not true of all. Emos are greatly misunderstood people who have been negatively stereotyped. I just wanted to clear that up.

poser 1:Dude, I totally got these new skull earrings at Hot Topic\! I'm sooo emo. poser 2: That's awesome. I wrote a poem about how life sucks and everyone should die, and how no one understands me or loves me. How emo is that? poser 1: That's way emo. Let's go to the bathroom and cut and cry about our awful lives. real emo 1: So how was art class? real emo 2: Pretty good. I'm drawing a charcoal picture of a rose. I'm planning to write a little poetry on the border. real emo 1: That sounds really cool. Wanna hang out sometime this weekend?

Emotive Hardcore is an offshoot from hardcore punk which formed in the late 80s and was played throughout the 90s. The term "emo" was coined to such bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace and other bands with a more melodic hardcore sound and expressive lyrics, although some later bands experimented with a softer indie alternative sound as well. You can also say it was a term to describe the "sound" of the DC area of the time. However, if you ask any of the members, they would highly disapprove of this term and most likely mock it.

Emo is not dying your hair black, piercing your lip, and it's certainly not cutting your wrist, that's just a trend. Emo is a music genre that started in the 90s and ended in the 90s. Emo bands: -Rites of Spring -Embrace -Fugazi -Gray Matter -Cap N' Jazz -Jawbox

Most of them have fun by getting high or drunk because they dont know how to do anything else with their lives. These kids usually cloth themselves in black and ripped up skinny jeans and cake there eyes with black liner. Do not ever befriend an emo for they will do nothing but bring down your mood and drag you with them through their shitty lives.

Emo is known as different things for different people. Most people see it as people cutting themselves. Most definitions have been complaining about "emo people complaining". When a person cuts themselves, they don't advertise it to the world. they hide it. People who advertise it are not in pain, just seeking attention. People often mock people who do cut, because they don't understand. You will never understand until you feel it for yourself. Burning yourself is another common self inflicted pain. People should really stop labeling each other and mocking what they don't understand.

someone who is different and doesn't give a f**k and they want to express it to everyone, they like screamo bands, which can now be infused with rap (examples of this on youtube) they also like real hardcore rock, they dress in bright colours to stand out, they want to show a darker side of themselves by colouring their hair with a black base and wearing black band t-shirts of more hardcore rock groups, they are pretty nice people once you get to know them, usually if someone is an emo society has driven them to it. Emo girl's usually look innocent but threatening, and Emo guys usually look stick thin and depressed. Most emo's are usually bi or bi-curious.

Society:that person is different lets mock them Society Agrees Emo gets s**t off society Emo then realizes how different they are and decide to try to be normal like society. It fails. Emo creates a cool band. Emo guy meets Emo girl. Fall in love. Emo's win, Society FAILS\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!

Someone who doesn't realize a lot of people have worse lives than they do. Usually spoiled, and are attention-seeking pussies. When their pissed, they go and cry in their rooms and write poems.

I saw this emo kid and got really pissed off. He was fucking crying, probably because his parents took away his razor. He doesn't realize some people his age have no parents to take care of them, and others his age are starving.

People who cut themselfs because they hate their life or are sad. Being emo is a serious medical issue and shouldn't be joked about because people actually do cut themself when they're in a stage of depression. If you see cuts on someones wrists try to help them and if you're emo please seek attion because people love you.

Being emo makes you think a knife can relieve pain.

Emo kids can generally be spotted and identified by their awful taste in clothing, music, and shitty haircuts. They are also known to hang out in small groups, known as a gaggle after the silly N. American fowl they often sound like. Thinking themselves to be original and artsy, they often try to form bands, which will die out in the next ten years just like every other trendy social niche ever has. The best, and most entertaining way to kill an emo, is to get them slightly buzzed, provide them with a sharp razor, and then berate them for hours on end. (i.e. describing in detail the lewd sexual acts you performed on their respective family members, favorite bands, or generally telling them how much they suck). They will usually respond by crying, trying to hit you and almost always failing, and eventually cutting themselves to ribbons, even after the blade has become dull from trying to penetrate the dense armor plated skull they all seem to have; through which no logic or creativity can possibly penetrate.

Punk: I'm shit faced Goth: I'm tanked Punk: Let's fuck and make a shitty baby together Goth: Sure, I'm bored and I can whine about how bad the sex was later Punk: That's cool, I just want to hate fuck your fat ass anyway Ten months later... EMO BABY IS BORN\! (And the world suffers)

a small flightless bird from the darkest corners of hot topic. Standing at just below 3 feet, the cry of the emo sounds suspiciously similar to My chemical romance songs. local orithologists believe the reason they are flightless dates back to ancient fossils of emos found with scarred wings, suggesting that they used their claws, which resemble, and still do, razorblades to cut at their wings...even the bones believed to have been the legs were found to be equally as scarred. rare is it to see an emo out during the day. several teenagers around the world have adapted the depressing plumage into their everyday clothing, as if making the emo their mascot

Emo stand for Emotional, so they are sensitive type, most are shy as well Emo Started from a band in the 80's. by some1 yell "your emo-core" in a concert of Washington D.C. to Ian MacKaye with the band Embrace on the stage. Emo are mainly people who have long hair on the side of their eye(usually dudes) or banes/chop like hair (usually girls). Wear mostly black hair, tight pants small t-shirt, belts(optional), some piercings,(optional) Some girl wears everyday clothes with emo hair. both gender wore eyeliner as well. Listen to emotional/screamo music. Theirs hair is mostly dye black (guy/girl) some can be blond or red (usually girls). Have highlights in their hair (girls mostly). NOT ALL emo cut themselfs\! the reason why is either they feel trap/ blame themselfs or they just want to feel something. They write peotry, or play music Talk about how their life is unfair. Have somewhat a subborn attitude sometimes. Yes, emo do have fun in their way. They also have their own type of friends. Most are about middle and rich class that are emo. due to their parents doesn't care about them or thing doesn't go right. Most Emos are Posers, some are not. What I think Emo true definition if it by characterist, it would be the people who are the Outcast of the Outcast by society itself, even the weird reject them as well. basically they are a shadow that almost no 1 can see them. Besides, they didn't chose to be emo, fate made them. Not GOD\!

How to be emo: Go out to the drugstore and buy some cheap hair dye. You're gonna need black, and if you want to look more emo, buy dark purple or dark red. Or maybe a neon color. Put streaks in random as hell places. There's the color. Now, cut your bangs into a long diagonal fringe, covering about 1/3 of your face on that side. make sure your fringe is longer than the rest of your hair if you're a guy, and if you're a girl, your bangs should be at least half the length of the rest of your hair. There, now you've got the hair. Now, go one to make-up. You're gonna need eyeliner. A lot of it. Now, put it on. When you think you have enough, you will need more. then for eyeshadow, choose either a dark color, or a bright color. For clothes, you're going to need a studded belt. You need skinny jeans, skin tight. Or tighter. Then, go to Hot Topic, buy a few band shirts, and while you're there, look at other band shirts, and write them down. That's what music you'll be listening to until you get over whatever you're sad about. Make sure you have converse\!\! Then, the attitude. Obviously, you have to be sad all the time. Don't eat, and cut yourself. ... Now, if you think I'm serious, you're ridiculous. I guess I'm classified as emo, and I do few of these things. I streaked my hair neon orange, it's naturally black. I do usually wear dark clothes. But Seriously, don't be a poser. Emo's aren't always fucking depressed.

Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid 1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the style. Emo has been criticized for its androcentrism and the tendency of most emo bands to relegate women to the role of muse or heartbreaker in their lyrics

An abbreviation for emotive rock, a genre of music. Some also consider it a social group/fashion like [goth] or [prep]. Actually, emo does not really exist, people who classify themselves as emos are [scene]/[posers] and people classifed as emos by others are usually normal, yet quiet people who have smaller circles of friends and like alternative music.

Poser: Nobody understands me, my past five girlfriends broke up with me so now I have to go cut myself to show I'm a nonconformist and not a poser. Then I'm going to go to [hot topic] and buy zebra striped skinny jeans to compliment the darkness of my personality. So called "emo": look at that asshole over there in his skinny jeans and dyed hair. His whole life is constructed only for his image. I'm not surprised he can't keep a girlfriend for more than a month. He's so shallow, I can't believe other people think I'm like that guy.

being emo doesnt mean that your fake or a pussy. being an emo means you suffer depresion brought on by a medical disorder. the most comon of these being bipolar. suffering from depression clouds your thoughts and causes you to act or dress like an emo. people who are emo actualy believe that things like cutting and smokeing help eas the pain. dont make fun of them because it actualy does. their pain is in their mind so if they believe it helps it does.

While emo is a form of punk, and used to be a music-based culture (emo stands for 'emotive,' not emotional, you morons) this definition is depicting the two types of modern emo: 1. Mainstream emo: Your typical annoying, greasy-haired whiny teen who thinks that their life sucks, when they honestly don't know what they're talking about. A freaking cult- all of them are obsessed with being unique, and yet they are sucked up by the enormous wave of conformity that MTV created to enslave the stupid ones. Often times will cut themselves for attention, or do something of the like. They feel unappreciated, and 'find themselves' in art and their supposed 'darkness.' Myspace is life for some of them. 2. Other: Just that- a truly depressed person who doesn't fit in, possibly because of mood swings, or trauma in early life. Tries not to fit the aforementioned definition of Mainstream emo; they know it's fake and not really them. These are the people with real artistic skills, and actual talent. Someone with severe Aspergers who refuses to take meds, for instance.

1. Anonymous emo boy digs into his wrists with a razor in the closet, darkly musing on darkness. He realizes later in life that he had made a terrible mistake, being an MTV-slave/ carbon copy with no real identity. But, he's already screwed up his life; taking those anti-depressants that he didn't need got him hooked, and he's in a ward. Now he knows what it's like to be all alone... and he hates it. 2. Anonymous 'Other' is strolling along, hands deep in her pockets. She hums a few bars of a song she can't remember the words to, and rolls her eyes at the group of Mainstreamers, all dressed in black and dark. "What a bunch of f*ckheads," she whispers, traipsing away.

1. [Fake Emo]: see [Female Emo Poser], [Male Emo Poser], [Fake Emo]. They like to wear black and say they hate themselves and no one understands and wear thick eyeliner and have black hair all over their face. They pierce themselves and they cry and they think they are artists and everyone who is not emo cannot express themselves, and is just a cookie cutter of every other human being that fake emos used to be. They are not actually emo, but they take typical bad situations and turn it into "My Life Sucks, Can I Kill Myself Already?" although you know they never will. 2. [Real Emo]: These people probably appear very happy on the outside, not wearing black all the time with thick heavy eyeliner. Most real emos, although not all, suffer from an unfortunate psychological problem like [depression]. One minute they can be the happiest person, and the next, crying hysterically and wanting to commit suicide. The fact that people throw around the term 'emo' is very upsetting, because REAL people with REAL problems like [Megan Meier] (look up Megan Pledge on Google Search) can't help themselves and need love and care. Emo isn't a word to describe these people, but because of today's idiocy, you can't get someone to just treat them regularly, but treat them as 'emo', which I doubt can help them at all. The real definition of emo should stay as it should- someone who is just following a stupid trend. 3. [Emo music].

An emo is one that wears tight jeans, long hair covering a third of their face, cries and cuts themselves cause everyone else in their dark corner does. They are a sub-race of human kind, which is noticeable by the lack of gender difference (the males have no genital). Rather, instead of reproducing, they tend to be parasitic and infect other normal humans with their faggotry. Emos are very parasitic and MUST be avoided at all times. Normally this is an easy task, as they tend to hang out only in places people don't go (under the staircase, corners of rooms etc.) but sometimes they will urge you to wear those skinny jeans, or cut your hair so it covers half your face. YOU MUST SAY NO and repeatedly punch the emo in the face to knock the evil emo parasite out of the host.

Probably the most stupid and soft form of punk. (NOTE that other punk genres kick ass ). Songs are usually themed with depression, teen angst and suicide. Also emo music has developed its own form of fashion : Scene. Scene or Emo kids always cry around for how about their lives suck and how nobody understands them. Another also annoying and totally wrong thing about emo is that they think are brutal or hardcore. 1. There is nothing brutal in emo songs. Songs structures are with crappy guitars, almost unnoticable drumming, and singing that really sounds like crying. 2. There is nothing hardcore about emo. HARDCORE is a type of punk, and is fast, agressive and totally kickass. And emo has none of that. The emo songs are depressive and slow.

Emo is not brutal. If you want brutal, go listen to some good death metal. OMFG \! My life sucks, I'll go cry and slit my skinny wrists \!

Originating from the [DC Hardcore] scene as well as the midwest, emo was a form of [hardcore] that has now been turned into [pussy] kids screaming and whining about girls. Scouted out by [Rites of Spring] and [Embrace], which now have to be resorted to being called [hardcore] bands due to [taboo], the [emocore] music was filled with angst and frustration expressed with more creativity than the then-dying hardcore movement. Sadly, "emo" kids, bands and fans are now nothing more than a pathetic offshoot of the 90's faux [goth] movement with gender confusion and resorting to whiney music for their outlets of "sadness". It's been said the term emo has roots to the [NO WAVE] scene of NYC. Some emocore fans carried on to like early "[indie]" bands like [Cap'n Jazz], [Sunny Day Real Estate], [Jawbreaker], early [Jimmy Eat World], [Braid], and [Mineral]- all ranging in musical style and subject matter. Now days the only thing close to emo is [skramz] and the "[emo powerviolence]" likings of the United Nations (band/supergroup). Originally, emo (emocore, emotional hardcore) was very anti-fashion, as opposed to the bastardized verzion of the 2000s decade. Any hardcore listener circa 1980s who was into bands like Embrace would have kicked all of your [pansy] asses for calling them emo then, so why do you think they'd like being called what you've fucking turned it into now. i've got a better term for you: [SHIT] CAUTION, IN CLICKING THE EMOCORE LINK, YOU WILL FIND A [DIPSHIT] WHO (the first definition) LISTED A BUNCH OF THE 'EMO' BANDS I AM REFERRING TO AS EMOCORE BANDS, WHO ARE IN FACT JUST THE OPPOSITE; PUSSY BANDS OR HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EMO\!

a post-Gothic subculture characterized by neuroticism, detrimental narcissism, a desire for self-mutalation and self-inflicted agony--of the mental and emotional variety. People categorized as "emo" tend to transcend gender roles, develope obsessions with fashion, hair covering the eyes, black makeup etc. Most memebers of the emo community enjoy thrash music, break up songs, eyeliner, tacos, and old school nintendo. Most also claim that no one understands them, except of course other emo people--which seems like a hypocritical cry for attention.

A fuckin' poser. Someone who thinks they're punk (Apparently crying your eyes out and slashing your body is a good way to rebel, according to these idiots). When the "emo" trend started, punk started dying. Same with metal and Pantera's unfortunate departure. Actual emo is a form of music, stemming back to the early 90's as a type of hardcore (emotive hardcore). I wear slim-fit jeans that are black or gray and black band shirts (Only color band shirts come in really), and some Fallen shoes (I skate, yes) but people confuse that with being emo, now, thanks to MTV and mainstream "culture". I would wear white but other than skate tees, I like band shirts and they most commonly come in black so, *shrug*. I'm a metalhead. Plain and simple. Now it's "punk" to become vegan and starve yourself of perfectly good meat that's important for a healthy body, when in reality, the animal you "care" so much about just died for nothing when you refused to eat it. But yeah, that's a whole different subject all together. Stop being so depressed, if you really are. Don't make your depression some "style" cuz it's not. Get over your depression. Metal has always been there for me in rough times. You'll get through it, just stop trying to capitalize on it, then you just come off as someone with no self-respect.

Emo kid: I wear tight black jeans and eyeliner and paint my nails and cry at night. I give metalheads who dress similarly a bad name. Someone help? Anyone else/Metalhead: Go listen to Hatebreed or Pantera. Hell, go pop in some Children of Bodom.

These days, I'm not even sure what the hell emo is. Apparently it used to be a subgenre of hardcore punk, later became emocore (emotional hardcore), and somewhere within the last twenty or so years of its existence it changed into some damn stereotype or fashion style. Nowadays, its just whovever wears skinny jeans, old school or skater shoes, black rimmed glasses, tshirts of bands, and the jet black straight emo haircut. Have any or one or two of the following and some fool will come up to you and ask, "Are you emo?". Seriously..it's getting really ridiculous. You don't even need to cut yourself, just dress up like one and call yourself one. There, I just stereotyped emo and cutting (which I am clueless as to when did cutters become emo? aren't cutters just potentially suicidal people who just need help?) Emo people are shy, sensitive, and emotional people. That's not how I see it at my school..maybe because all this stereotype stuff is brainwashing me. Or my highschool is messed up with all the "emo wannabees" lined up. Probably both, but I'm forever confused on the real meaning of emo. Give it another decade or two. Let's just wait and see how this emo will keep changing.

How does supporting major clothing stores, ex.Hot Topic, make you a non-conformist? Also there is no difference from the, so-called "real" emo's from the "fake" emo's, it looks like shit, smells like shit, you know the rest. It's all the same. Attire Top: tight black horizontally stripped sweater w/ a scarf, i guess the luxury of breathing is something they're willing to sacrifice. Jeans: as tight as they can get, usually from their little sisters closet or the women's department, funny because their's 2 emo's at my school who have developed testicular cancer..think they need to loosen up their jeans. Hair: Long black asymmetrical greasy haircut covering the left or right eye, the ability to see is compromised for "style".

To me, it's a label. A stupid steriotype. Emo's ARE NOT wrist cutters. Wrist cutters are wrist cutters. Emo's can laugh and smile. It's not a bad damn thing\! Some of my best friends are emoish. I don't see why people like to make fun of them. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS NOT EMO\! Not all emos where tight pants. We dont go and cry every time we get made fun of. Some of us can beat your ass :] And that is my definition of emo. If you don't like it, then screw you :]

Prep: Fawking emo\! Emo: ...-Punches the prep right in the face- HA\!

first off: the most fought over term in teenage fucking history. emo is thought to be someone who wears tight pants and cries and blah blah blah. (see 46,000,000,000 other definitions) emo isn't a fucking kid who cuts him/her self. that would be a mental person. stop bashing people who simply like to wear darker colours or think that sometimes his/her life doesnt go quite according to plan. they have lives like you. let them do whatever the fuck they want with it. oh, and ignore the kids that call themselves emo and try to cut themselves for attention- they'll get over themselves.

friend one: OMG look at that emo kid over there with the tight pants and black long hair\! friend two: eww... i'll bet nobody likes him and he goes home every night and cries and cuts himself. friend one: come on, lets go to buy some more clothes and talk about how special we are\!

Emo is a genre of music. It tends to be simalar to Rock/Punk/Metal. Emo isnt about being sensitive or anything, emo's are just people who listen to this music. Emos are not gay, depressing, suicidal, or stupid as people say they are\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\! Emo's are actually decent people\!

EMO is music. A type of Music. look it up. [music] Not a label. Sorry to inform you all of that sad fact. Grow up and get a life. Stop labeling people like they are cans of soup. Just becasue you cut yourself your 'emo' what about the others who do it? The Girly girls? No Black insight? What about the 'emo' kids who have pink rooms? what about all the innocent people, you hurt with one word?

Random kid cyring. Someone automatically calls them emo, and yet there's a cheerleader cutting herself in the corner.

A depressive manic who is usually this way because of a tragedy in their life. Often will perform strange rituals that causes harm to themselves. These types most often need professional counseling and the aid of drugs. A whiny fucking bitch emo fag however, is usually a white teenager of rich descent but still think their lives are tragic even though they live in a rich, sheltered surburban neighborhood. Will often spend time to monitor online social websites (e.g. MySpace, Facebook, ect.) and write shitty poems. If encountered with these types, stay away.

Real Emo "I fucking hate life. I've been abused, my parents are drunkards that don't acknowledge my existence, and I just slashed my torso with a kitchen knife. I'm going to go crucify myself while I set myself on fire." "Dude, get help\! There's alternatives\!" Whiny Fucking Bitch Emo Fag "MY MUMMY WON'T LET ME SEE THAT MCR CONCERT\! WAH\! I'M JUST GOING TO WRITE SHITTY POEMS ON MYSPACE AND PRETEND TO CUT MYSELF WITH A PENCIL\! LET ME JUST BOOT UP MY NEW $4500 COMPUTER AND MY CUSTOM $1200 IPOD THAT MY PARENTS BOUGHT FOR ME LAST MONTH\!" "I hope you die in a fucking fire."

There are loads of definitions for Emo, And everyone has a different opinion of it. Emo is a form and style of music, generally bands such as My Chemical Romance, Fugazi, and such. But this is no reason to say that the emo stereotype doesn't exist. Because if it didn't exist, we wouldn't have the emo kids. Generally, when Emo comes to mind, people think of band logo t-shirts, tight skinny jeans, and assymetrical black hair. But emo is not about the look, nor the style. It's a lifestyle and way of thinking. Not depression. Not suicidal. You have many people classified as preps and jocks and other labels that can be depressed and have suicidal thoughts. Many of the emo friends I have are cheery and artistic. And, oh get this, their emotions are quite in check.

Emo 1: S'time to go to the concert. Moshpit\!\! Emo 2: Fuck yeah\! *grabs tickets* Emo Kid: *jumps up and down* Normal Kid: What are you doing?? Emo Kid: I'm celebrating the anniversary of my rubber duck's birth. Normal Kid: Wtf? Emo Kid: *mocks an emo poser* You.. don't understand\! *laughs*

Quite possibly the most ridiculous concept ever concocted (emo shouldn't even be classified as a music genre, as "emo" doesn't actually exist). Definition: A genre of music that was constructed under the pretense that "Pop Punk" (Pop punk being a complete paradox) was not faggy enough. Suburban teenagers who wanted to be "different" by crying and looking exactly like everyone they cry and hang out with (i.e. dyed black hair, jeans so tight that your tiny balls actually retract into the cavern from whence they dropped, the ever present "non conformist" Converse all star, piercings, scarves and anything purchased at a "Hot Topic" store), needed something else to cry about instead of their upper middle class "depression".

QUOTE: "I was soooo distraught yesterday... My dad wouldn't buy me tickets to the Dashboard Confessional show and I was so depressed I slit my wrists... Well, not all the way, I just wanted to show my parents that I don't want to live but I don't really want to die, I just want attention. That's why I wear this scarf in the summer and these black framed glasses even though I don't even need them to see. Anyway, I got blood on my new super tight girl jeans that I just bought and that depressed me even more? I was in such a dark brooding mood that I sat in my room and wrote poems about how hard my life is. Then my brother told me emo is for fags and pussies who don't know who they are then left with his girlfriend. What an asshole, he doesn't know how hard life is."

The word Emo doesnt mean Emotional because if it did then Everybody could be labeled emo for the fact everyone has emotions. It originated from 'Emotive Hardcore'. Not all emo's are depressed and cut themselves. Alot of emo's are happy and proud of their quirky free dress sense. They tend to get alot of stick from chavs [who really have no place to talk] They support there favourite bands by wearing their merchandise. Emos get slated alot and its unfair because they are just people living their life how they like it. Alot of Emo's listen to My Chemical Romance so they then get mistaken as an emo band when they are actually Rock. Much respect to the Emos.. \\m/

Some comments Emos face: Go slit your wrists you fucking emo. Go back to your corner and cry. What do you look like? I feel sorry for your mother.. Well dont feel sorry for their mothers becasue the majority of Emo's are very intelligent and actually try to make something out of their lives.

white kids, in the middle to upper class of society, ussualy between the ages of 14 - 17 who wear tight pants for guys this ussualy means girl pants and often pants borrowed or taken from a female related to them such as a sister. Emo kids often live in a suburban enviroment. They have hair that comes down to about the length of their cheek bones and is covering one eye. emo kids almost always are heard arguing with their mom or dad and most of their converstions end with a door slaming. "No one understands me" is their favorate line because they want to feel unique. (what they fail to realize is by being emo they are joining an entire subculture of people.) Emo kids often make up a small melodramatic story for every tiny imperfection they find in their fairly normal lives that is rarely different from the average kids life. emo kids travel in packs and pairs and prefer to hang out with people who have sympathy for their made up problems.(mostly other emo kids) emo kids sometimes take depression medication to treat their alleged depression that does not exist. They spend hours on myspace either making their page look sad, adding hundreds of either the same picture from different angles they took minutes ago or poorly edited pictures where eithr hue has been altered or the paintbucket tool has been used to fill most of the picture with black paint. Emo kids hang ussually go out with girls who ussually dump them within a month at the most. (ussually because the girl is tired of having two pussys) some emo kids take it to the next level and cut their wrists to gain attention because by about the hundreth time if they were trying to kill themselves they would have succeded by now. for all intensive purposes emo kids (ussually boys) are like a gay man who cant come out of the closet. Also emo kids are often heard asking for a hug from random people when they go somewhere because they want attention.

"can i have a hug" "No your emo and all you emo kids want hugs\!" "booooo-hooooo"

emotive hardcore- what emo stands for. emo is NOT short for emotional. An emo does NOT sit at home all day slitting their wrists. It is a following of [emocore], [hardcore], or [scremo] music. derived from the 80's typically there kinda geeky scene kids, but instead of being shallow and self centered they prefere to stick to things that are more important and meaningful.

someone who is emo is someone who are what they want to b and dnt care they get shouted at my chavs

Alright, here's the REAL definition of emo. It will be broken up since there are two definitions. There's the style of music, and there's the lifestyle. 1) Emo music is a sub-genre of punk. It is often characterized by high-pitched male vocals and lyrics in which emotion(hence the name) is expressed. The lyrics often have to do with betrayal, lost loves, "broken hearts", suicide/SMB (self-mutilating behaviors), and depression. Bands such as Dashboard Confessional were thought to have created the emo genre. See also: [screamo]. 2) The emo "lifestyle" has changed somewhat over the years. It started off with kids who were pretty much the outcasts. The guys were thought to be in touch with their sensitive side and they would wear rectangular framed glases, scarfs (much like those seen in Harry Potter), tight t-shirts, and occassionally tight pants. They would listen to emo music, and often be depressed. However, this has changed. Now, emo boys can be distinguished by their long (usually black and sometimes with a streak of another color) hair, which is cut in such a style so that it covers one eye or half of their face, and their skinny figures. They also wear eyeliner(not always), tight t-shirts, girl pants(sometimes), usually some sort of hoodie or hooded jacket, and usually sport black fingernails. Emos are usually depressed and are fragile with strong emotions. Some misconceptions about emos are that all of them want to commit suicide and all of them cut their wrists. Though many emos do this, not all of them do. Another misconception is that all emo guys are either bisexual or gay. This is not true as there are many straight emo boys and sexual preference has nothing to do with it. If you think that all emos have made-up problems, you are reading the wrong definition and should look at [emo poser].

1)Bands often considered to be in the emo genre include My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic\! At The Disco, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, and many others (most of them are rather obscure). 2) GirlA: The other day I took some totally emo pictures with my fingers pointing at my head and eyeliner streaming down my face. I'm like, such a camera whore. Then, I cut my wrists. GirlB: You're a poser.

A person who is truely depressed and usually cuts themselves. Not just their wrist; legs hands fingers cheast, anywhere. There can also be emos mixed with a goth; A person who hates themeselves, everone else, usually hurts themeslves anyway weather its cutting, scratching until you bleed, choking, burning, anyway really. A person who is truely ''fucked up'' and who wants to watch the world burn, and then light themselves on fire to burn with everyone else. Not an actor truely has problems.

Emo can mean a lot of things, & as with any label, it is just one word trying to desribe something much bigger, so it's not strictly one thing or another, & it's meaning changes over time. Originaly, emo was a music scene in the 90s & short for "emotive" now Emo is more generaly accepted to be short for the word "emotional" which is not to say one is more correct but that the word "emo" has changed over time. 1. A music genre of a typicaly melodramatic, not always depressing but often emotional rock genre, or a softer version of hard-core rock. Describes bands like MCR. 2. A type of indavidual, generaly a teen, who is very emotional. They may or may not listen to "emo" genre & may or not follow the "emo" style (black hair covering one eye, tight dark clothing, wrist bands...) they typicaly wear alot of black but don't have to, but are troubled indaviduals, often with a mood disorder &/or alot of abuse in their past. Some emos cut themselves or self-mutilate, but not all do. some are suicidal, but they don't have to be. Alot of people would classify someone as "emo" who really is more "poser," or trying to "be" emo, or any other subculture, in order to get attention. (pretending to cut, making a point of wearing "emo" clothing...) This does NOT go for all emos. 3. Anything particularly dark or emotional. Any writing that is particularly anxty or talks about loss, depression, feeling of being alone or differant. The same goes for any form of artistic expression.

1. I like to listen to alot of music; i like metal, emo-rock, and some alternative. 2. I have been acting alot more emo since i got into high-school, becasue i have had alot more anxiety, and i find myself wearing alot more black. 3. This poem about my dog dying came out sounding really emo.

1. Someone who cuts themself. It's a pretty stupid term used by middle-schoolers and idiots in general. The correct term is a "self-harmer", or a "cutter". 2. A style of music, loosely linked to Dashboard Confessional, Fall Out Boy, and Alesana. Mostly comprised of high male vocals and screaming. Can also be associated with punk. 3. Emotional or sad. 4. A person usually between the ages of 10 and 25 that listens to "emo" music and occasionally you find one that is a cutter. A typical "emo kid" wears skinny jeans, band t-shirts that are often tight, and flat-bottomed shoes like Converse and Vans. Their hair often obscures one or both eyes, and can be dyed different colours. Hair is usually straightened, but can be natural. Emo kids usually are pretty introverted, but are SUPER nice and they won't give you shit for no reason. Their life depends on music and their multiple friendships. Emos are generally really in touch with their friends and their emotions. Some emos cry a lot and are very sensitive. FURTHERMORE: Emo kids are NOT attention seekers. They are not bitchy (for the most part). And they do not like being called "fags". While some emos are in fact homosexual, there are also bisexual, pansexual, asexual, and heterosexual people in the emo category.

1. Dumbass: Are you emo? Emo kid: Da fuck ... are you asking if i'm a cutter? o.o 2. Awesome person: Hey, you like emo music? Me: Hell yeah\! Awesome person: Yay :D Bro, Breathe Carolina rocks.\<3 Me: You are now my friend, whether you like it or not. c: 3. Sad person: Ughhh, i'm feeling so emo today \>\emo\< Friend: Awh, cheer up man. Have a cookie. 4. Random girl: Holy shit that guy's hot\! Other random girl: Wow, i didn't know you were into emo guys. Random girl: Of course\! They're only the cutest, sweetest guys ever, and they know how to dress for sure :P

Emo is not based on how often they cry or cut themselves. To be honest, most of the definitions of emo on urban dictionary are not true and they do hurt. They are mainly made by judgemantal people who have no idea of what they are writing about and just like to be super critical for no reason. They honestly don't understand how it is like to be in my shoes, so why should they judge my lifestyle. In fact, most emo kids don't cut. They prefer to have an awesome haircut which consists of side bangs, black hair and occasionally another random colour. Sterotypically, Emo's listen to emo music. Saying all emos listen to emo music isn't necessarily true. They have quite a varity of music because there is more music out there than just one genre. You know which I love to hear? Emos are hated. Well, emo's do have friends, and they can be friends with whoever they want to be friends with. Just because they look a certain way or might act a different way occasionally doesn't mean they are hated. What I don't get is that there are so many rumors about the emo sterotype. Yes there is a certainn way to be emo, but you cannot act emo. To be emo you have to legit be an emo. One thing I have to say, is most of the urban dictionary definitions for the way emos dress are pretty true. They generally wear tight black clothes with a spiky belt and wear converse. Also piercings are very common with the emo culture

Often used to describe a person. There are two definitions to this word: emotionless, and emotional. The belief that "wearing dark clothes, having the hair covering an eye or both, cutting ones self, having little to no friends, and wearing eye liner/makeup despite gender" is a false concept.

"Happy Birthday kiddo\!" (dad) "and your point is...?" (emotionless kid) Emotionless ^ "I heard that he's going to break up with you soon\!" (friend) "what\!?\! but.. but why?\!?" (girlfriend) *starts crying a lot* Emotional ^

I want to set the record straight of SO MANY PEOPLE being TERRIBLE to the stereotype of emo. Emo does not mean you cut your self. It doesn't mean you wear skinny jeans, or tight shirts, or messed up shoes or greasy hair. There are certain people in the world that don't care what others think of them too much, truly. They actually do like the color black, and while other people might not see their issues as important, somethings are backed with painful memories that are very important. just because their hair is black, or covers their face, doesn't mean they do it just for the sake of having it. A lot of people truly like the style. A lot of emos ARE artistic, because most commonly being emo is when you're more in touch with yourself then other people your age. In fact, most of the people who are emo don't even classify themselves as emo becuase labels are not necessary. If you cut yourself, it doesn't mean your emo, and if you don't it doesn't mean you aren't. The two things have nothing to do with each other\! Emo was originally short of emotional, in a musical genre sense. As it developed into a 'label', it means the same. A lot of emo people feel extreme emotions whether they be happy or sad. I will admit there are emo posers, who cut themselves and dress for the sake of seeming badass, but some people seriously like the style\! Don't be mean about it, because what if I constantly stereoptyped and made fun of you? How would you feel?

Fake: Scratches wrists to make it look like they have scars, reads definitions on urban dictionary to find out how to be emo, goes around saying they're emo Real: Dresses how they want, acts how they want, aren't influenced too easily, very in touch with who they are, a lot are very artistic and have real issues that are very important to them. or maybe the don't have issues, they're just a very in touch, artistic person

“EMO" It's a word commonly misunderstood as a modern stereotype,which is used day after day again and again. "emo" is actually referred to a specific sub-genre of punk rock known as "emotive-hardcore" which has been around since the 80’s Emotive-Hardcore has branched off of other similar genres such as "Hardcore" and "Post-Hardcore". Emotive-hardcore is the true meaning of the word "emo" and has been twisted to refer to something far from what originally intended. In fact, “emo” has kept its original meaning and now its new meaning causing it to become an ambiguous word. Most however just use it to make their lives less boring (haha) However these people, although most listen to “emo” music, cannot possible be referred to as “emo” because they are not a sub-genre\! It is not only wrong to label someone as “EMO” but also degrading because of the numerous stereotypes. the most common misconseption: CUTTING. These do refer to a minority of the “Scene/HxC” society. Although scene kid’s clothing may represent a state of depression it has nothing to with being a cutter. Scene kids and cutters are two separate types of persons. -Remember that if everyone were the same, it would be a pretty boring, bland, and monotone world. The need to be different is necessary in order for one to express their inner feelings and thoughts, as well as share common interests with others. So Stop the hating\! :D (this was found On "Alert: Emo awarness"- facebook group) (edited to make shorter)

*Emo can be considered a noun, verb or adjective. 1) A person that can usually be identified by loads of dark clothing, side-swept bangs that often cover an eye (or both), Chuck Taylor sneakers that may be written on with sharpies, and often times dark eyeliner and facial piercings for both genders. Can also refer to someone that is depressed or has resentment to society, or even inflicts harm upon themselves. 2) A load of bullshit. 3) Simply a name given to music (that is generally angst-y and may contain screaming and crying) so that it may be sorted. 4) To act in such a way that is appalling due to its depressing nature. ((Or even a mixture of any of the above))

"That girl looked so emo\! She was wearing a lot of black, and her eyes were hidden behind loads of eyeliner." "Emo is bullshit\!" "**Insert band name here** is an emo band." "Don't be so emo."

I see how many of you judge 'emos', and I'm sick of it. I mean, yes, some of them are just attention thirsty teenagers, but some are not. "Emos" are people who would rather feel physical pain rather than emotional pain. I know it sounds stupid, but as a teenager, we all grow up differently and feel things in so many different ways. To one person, fumbling over a sentence for a moment is nothing, but to another...it could be something they think about all day, full of regret. I agree, that that is overly sensitive, but it's just they way some people are. There is no reason to hate on them. Just let people be who they are and don't stereotype.

Not goth. It's a style for kids who got rejected from that whole society because they whined too much to be goth. Often, they DO listen to the same music. However, that doesn't make the goth a poser. It makes the emo have a good taste in music. They still today try to fit with goths, but fail because us goths can't handle this: "My life sucks\! Why can't I just fit in with everyone else like those goths do? I'm going home to cut myself now, GOD\!\!\!"

emo: "Can I hang out with you to cut ourselves together?" goth: "What? Why do you want to cut yourself? Honestly, you are SUCH a poser\!" emo: "That's why I want to. No one understands me\!" goth: "Everyone understands. You wear too much makeup, and you're a poser. Now excuse me, I'm getting ready to actually deal with my life." emo: "I wish I could, but I can't get the black abyss of tortured souls out of my mind.

Emo is a subculture that enveloped around a musical style known as Emo that is derivative off both the 80's punk and teen angst mentality of the Punk Rock/Metal musical scene and the 90's Gothic Rock/Hardcore, and is more ever some thing leached on to by the 21st century teenagers who, seeking to ether be cool or vent frustrations and express their own pseudo-Originality developed what you see as Emo, musically much like the other two, culturally taking the rebel Teen Angst from Punk and the hatred for self and others from the Goth underground, it is now what you see today, a mess of culturally cliché stereotypes in a deprived time in cultural modern history.

Emotionally Angst Teen is told NO, Teen, because his mother wouldn't attentional to her son's emotional problems or father doesn't see why his son won't play sport like kids of his age, Becomes Depressed and create emotional poetry, Emo shares poetry, Others feel sorry, and thus promote this. This catches on, and now you have a subculture.

Emo is NOT a genre of music, or a grop of pissy fags. Emo is the way they dress, they act, and their perspctive on things. the way they dress: usually choppy, long, "swooshy" hair. Either Black, bleach blonde or brunette. they have lip, ear, and nose peircings and where black eye make-up. the bangs cover the face and they wear a assortment of rubber band braclets from hot topic or spencers. The way they act: known to be very romantic, sensitve, mysterious, and shy. But once you get close to one they open up to you and are always there fr you no matter what. so to all them bitchy preachers who think if we wear chains and such, that we are devil worshipers (which some are) fuck you. it's who we are. its what we want. If we gived a fuck what other people thought, we probably would try to fit in with them. They call us clones, have they looked at themselves??? all kakie shorts and abercrombie bs clothesthat cost 50 dollars for clothing that rips when you put it on?? at least our clothes last. we also really enjoy music. we love music. it gets us going and gives us this feeling in our chest that makes your heart beat fast and moves you.

A style of clothing and music that includes black along with accents of neon, skinny jeans, long hair and bangs that fall partly or completely over one or both eyes, usually angled. Some emo guys wear eyeliner. Emo music can includes screaming, along with singing. It's a type of metal. Emo music can be screamo, death metal, emo-core, alternative, etc. False Stereotypes: NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE ARE DEPRESSED. There are plenty who are happy with their lives. NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE SELF-HARM. Self-harm and emo style have nothing to do with eachother. There are preppy people that self-harm, as well as emo people. Self-harm is a serious problem that should not be laughed at or looked upon as wierd or crazy. NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR ATTENTION. Of course some are. But not all of them. Some preppy people look for attention too.

Well, there are two types of emo. There are the people who really appreciate the style, then there are the people who try to act emo to be cool or something. These people who pretend to be emo are called posers, and have now ruined the name of being emo, and a lot of other things. No, emo people are not depressed. Depressed people have nothing to do with being emo.

Emo is a state of mind, or the modern term for depressed. What people say is emo, long hair, guyliner, converse, raccoon eyes, ect. is all called [scene]. Scene people are bubbly but deep. Emo on the other hand, is where something in ones life seems to have scarred them. They beleive there is no-one to run to, so they bottle stuff up, and or use self harm.

Scene kid: "YAAY\! I bought a new Tu-tu and some new liquid eyeliner\! VICTORY IS MINE" Emo kid: "There is that side of me where im sad...but happy enough to fake being happy...then there are those days where i cant even bring myself to be happy"

emo is well, many things from many different points a view so thing they are just "fags" who dress weird. some look at the root of the word emo emotive hardcore/emocore, a type pf music. some branch off from the root of the word emo, they see it as a way to dress which came from the "emo" bands and their fans way of dressing. their there are those who see it as people who cut themselves or hurt themselves in some way. then there the people on the other side of this, the people who preform the music, dress in tight clothing and band t-shirts, and the people with emotional problem of some sort. the band just are taking advantage of the new emo crowds growth. the people who dress emo see it as fashion or a way to express themselves. the people with emotional problems vary widely from have a self esteem issues depression personality disorders excreta. these are often caused by people judge them in some way, no matter how lard the judgment was.

The term "Emo" is used as counterculture; it is an abbreviation of the word "emotional". Emo it's defining not only an attitude, but also a fashion that are coming from emocore (emo music). Emocore is a combination between hardcore and punk music which was very popular in Washington DC in the late 80's. The emo culture continued to develop between '90 and '00, reaching the height of its popularity today. Emo is also a popular type of fashion now a days. The society thinks emos are failures; they are not strong enough to hide their emotions. You don't have to be emo to listen to punk/hardcore/post hardcore music. Also having black hair (natural or dyed) can't label you as an emo (unless you want to). Emo is used as an insult these days to label people with high emotions and/or people who wears black clothes. Emo is not as bad as the society sees them. Why would people discriminate or judge emos when they have done nothing wrong to the society but all they have done is having their hair painted/naturally black, listening to rock/punk/hardcore music, or wearing black clothes. People shouldn't be judging anyone just because of what they do or just because of the music they listen to. Everyone has different tastes and no one should be discriminating others just because of those reasons.

THE REAL DEFENITION THE MUSIC- [emotive hardcore]- was an offshoot of [hardcore] music charegterised by lyrics with deeper darker emotions/ topics. People who enjoyed this genere of music were called Emos THE LIFESTYLE- Today we have people who call themselves emo- The music created the emo lifestyle- thus [emo kids] Emos are people who listen to emotive music and embrace a specific style- Usualy envolving- wearing all black/darker colors- side swept hair over 1 eye- Heavy eyeliner- and expresion via music writing songs poetry ect. There are no specific guide lines to emo. (Emo Myths) 1-All emos cut/ [self mutilate]? Not all emos cut- there are always crazies in the mix but not all emos cut themselves- cuting has nothing to do with emo 2-Emos are always sad? Emos are usualy more sensetive than average and express their emotions in their own way. But emos are not always sad Hapyness is an emotion 2 Emos can smile laugh and have a good time like evrybody else Most are just shy 3-Emos are all just [posers] seeking atention? Emo is a steriotype- people runing around showing you their cuts, crying, saying "im so emo" Are posers trying to fit a steriotype to be cool But there are people "[Real emos]" who live the lifestyle, love the music, and expres their emotions bechause its who they are the way they are these people are not posers- they dont try to be anything other than themselves and are great people/ loyal frends

Real emo-"RE" vs Poser emo-"P" "P"-*siting in corner sobing* T_T "RE"-whats wrong? O.o? "P"-My girlfrend dumped me so im carving her name into my arm... im so emo. T_T "RE"-Um...Why...? shees just a girl- there are more? its not the end of the world? O_o? "P"-She was the only one for meeeee\!\!\!\! *cries histericly* there is nothing left worth living for\!\!\! I need to cut her name into my soul so when i hang myself later she will see what a horible person she was for breaking up with me.... i will write about her in my suicide notes- and tell all the people i hate how much i hated them\! like how my parents made my life miserable by trying to make me happy\!\!\! im so emo. DX "RE" Dude i dont blame her for breaking up with you- your crazy- you need to get a life and probably some therapy? plus your a strait up poser... \>_\> *walks away listening to ipod* "P"-Kills self Later listening to Dashboard confesional...

A term created to give pre-teens and teens an excuse to behave poorly. Stolen almost directly from the [Goth] kids of the the early eighties, these teens and early 'adults' apparently pride themselves on being original while looking and behaving exactly the same. Emo is short for emotional, but we all know that those early years are a mess of predictably unbalanced, insecure histrionics and this label is just another way of glorifying it. As with other cultish groups, the emo subculture has attached whiney, cry-baby 'music' to its hapless [existencialism] that literally screams "why me." There seems to be virtually no way to combat this behavioral anomaly as attempts to do so only catapult the teen into carrying his/her angst even further. The ultimate color is black, with white and pink being thrown in for girls as contrast. The boys wear more bland colors with fashion statement [Bed-head] hair and a blank stare. Girls have a new version of big hair; long and puffy in the back ; styled in the front so that the bangs run the length of one side to the person's neck, covering a single eye entirely, giving the impression that the individual is hiding something. Easily bored and quick to depressive behavior, you'll rarely see them involved in activities that involve anything more than standing or laying around. Incessent eye-rolling and texting are the preferred exercises for this narcissistic cult.

A [whiney] teenager who is 'in touch' with his/her feelings. The mast majority live in the [suburban] life-style, but refuse to admit that they actually have a [postive] life. Please, for the sake of humanity, get over yourself. You see that homeless man down the street? He has more reason to be an angsty emo than you ever will. You see that child in the burn hospital? He/she has more reasons to be 'emo' than you ever will in your entire life. Emos DON'T know what true pain is. Don't give me that, "Don't label me, I'm human\!\!", because you can just stop, right there. The majority of these 'emos' will cuss out a 'prep' in an instant. They cringe or are enfired with rage when they hear the word. Please, for the sake of humanity, get over yourself. Emos obviously DON'T know what true pain is. "No one understands me"- trash.

You CAN'T forget to complain about your horrible life every chance you get, you get to do this twice as much if your parents are [divorced]. Idiot, almost half of American's population in marriages are divorced, suck it up. Don't forget to hate your life, and deny being emo. Say you're a "non-comformist" *which is complete trash, because dressing the excact same way and having your hair block at least a 1/3 of your face sure looks like the guy next to you*. As for girls, you can't forget to have to ratty-tatty hair that looks like a rat's nest, oh, and the chewing on the gold-chain fetish.-Don't forget to also write some cheesey-ass song lyrics that are the complete opposite of your life, and strum a cord or two on your guitar. There, now you're getting it\! Also, make sure whenever people ask where you live, since they'll be SO concerned on why your life is, "hell", be sure to say, "the cracks of hell in which the light of life does not shine", "in a world where love and acceptance do not exist, only pain and hatred," or something along the lines of that. -Swoop your head around every five seconds, considering the fact that you won't see; because sight is something that you will have to sacrifice in order to be a 'non-comformist'.

Contrary to popular belief, "Emo" does not mean the cutting of one's wrist, nor is it a style. It doesn't represent someone sitting in a corner, crying, or [angst]-filled teenagers. It was originally a style of music, known as "Emotive Hardcore" or "Emotional Hardcore". Modern society has turned it into both a way to dress and a stereotype, sadly. Many people think it means emotional. That is slightly correct, but it really stands for "emotional" or "emotive" hardcore. If "Emo" really was Emotional, everyone would be "Emo", considering we've all shown emotions before. The word Emo shouldn't even exist, considering its past.

An example of how modern society uses "Emo": "Emo fags, cutting their wrists." "Go cry in a corner, Emo."

mo was originally a nickname for "emotive hardcore" (type of music), but has evolved into meaning "emotional" because it was misinterpreted, since fans of this music were ususally known for being a bunch of depressed-self-harming-teens with too much free time. It's all stereotypical. But this is what it's known for now. An emo person (like I said stereotypical) would be very depressed, hate the world, including themselves and probably cry all the time. They've even stereotyped and emo style. Usually "emo" kids dress in skinny jeans, dark colors (but not all black), band tee shirts, and chucks. But, like I said about 5 or so times.

In this day and age, "emo" is now the definition for numerous things such as the way someone dresses; certain genres of music; the way people act; a mood and also someone who feels the need to self harm. Emo originally derrived from the sub-genre of punk known as hardcore punk in the late 80s and lived on from there. "Emo" music as it is commonly called, is typically music filled with long high pitched screams, continous off beats, a guitar riff that is usually on 3 string and at one side of guitar. And all of this for the Teenagers who want to be someone they are not and want attention from their peers as they believe their life is far harder than anyone elses and that no one understands them or how hard their life is.

Emo is someone who is too skinny, poses and listens to other peoples music about how "bad" their lives are.

A person who has a lot of emotion and likely cries over issues that most people would shrug off. A person who can also be angry at many aspects of their life. Being a true emo person has absolutely NOTHING to do with clothing style, hair style, the people they associate with, or how they talk. You are not an 'emo' or acting 'emo' if you think that being an 'emo' means wearing black, having some multi-coloured or crazy hairstyle, cutting, talking about death, or wearing tight clothes ECT. In other words, a true emo could be viewed as a person who is overly sensitive on the sadness/happiness spectrum.

Emos are people who wear super-tight skinny jeans and tight T-shirts, like Converse, and have long hair that they CONSTANTLY flip out of their eyes, which can get really annoying. Most emos are fake posers who act emo for attention, but there are some who like the music, which is mainly metalcore and screamo. Real emo never existed. Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance are simply pop-punk bands, which suck save fore a few songs. The there are people who are really depressed, but most don't dress emo. In short, emos are annoying pretty boys/girls that are trying to be different by conforming. In the social chain, they are right below everything else and are preyed upon by punks, Goths, headbangers, metalheads, gangstas, poseurs, Nazis, straight-edges and hippies alike.

A punk bumps into an emo in the hallway. Punk: Sorry man. Emo: Why?\! Why do people have to make me want to KILL myself\!? I'LL KILL YOU\! The emo attacks the punk and proceeds to get the shit beaten out of him.

Emo is a social movement entirely ripped off from other social movements that came before. Some would argue better movements, because it could at least be claimed it hadn't been done before or was an improvement upon established social movements.

Goth: Already did the dark clothing, makeup, hair, chains, jewelry, sad, poetic, down beat, quirky, artistic, (You get my drift)... Punk: Edgy, angst, angry, political, emotional, DIY, anti-establishment, hard, loud, aggressive, Mod: Tight clothing, jeans, shirts, sneakers, haircuts, upbeat, fast, angst ridden, New Wave: The Flock of Seagulls haircut, black and white striped clothing, dark, angst, unrequited love, pop, emotional

An emo is not a well off teen that puts on a fake personality, when emos say they are misunderstood it is interpreted in entirely the wrong way, when emos say they are misunderstood it does not mean that they are depressed beyond what you could imagine, it does not mean people could not possibly understand the tough times they are going through, when an emo says they are misunderstood they mean people think they avoid having fun, self harm, are antisocial, and are essentially drama queens. These stereotypes are not true, what people dont understand about emo is that it is purely a fashion sense and taste in music, it is an alternative style, such as indie, goth (which also generalized blindly), punk etc. It is time people realized that emos are sociable and just tend to enjoy socializing with others who share their taste in music and fashion. Any emos that do happen to be depressed, it is due to the fact that they have been bullied senselessly by people who have no idea what they are talking about.

One day Johnny discovers that he enjoys alternative music, he starts listening to it more and ends up wearing darker colours, tight jeans and hoodies etc. Many people see what Johnny is becoming and instantly think he is depressed and self harms 'oi Johnny you emo cunt' is one of many offensive comments Johnny recieves on a regular basis, and slowly get worse, which makes him feel down, and he does end up feeling depressed like any other bully victim would, emo or not.

They wear a lot of black and their greasy hair is always covering their face. Most emo kids cut themselves......most of the time for attention, as previously stated....because mommy and daddy "just don't understand". 2)Emo sumed up is goth with no balls(maybe if emos didn't wear castratingly tight jeans they could grow the balls to realize they are being completely ridiculous and that nobody cares.) 3)Posers with bad taste in music.

1. Someone who is overly-emotional, usually in a negative way 2. Chronically and outwardly depressed Someone can be called emo if they have at least two of the following qualities: always dress partially or fully in black (because it "reflects the color of their soul"); wear very tight and restricting clothes (constantly in contact with the skin, because they are usually deprived of any physical contact with other people such as hugs); seem to talk mostly about how sad, unfair, or hopeless their life is; cut their own wrists; or attempt to express their emotions through excessive amounts of boring dark art or poetry (also includes music).

Listen, I just want to start out by saying, emo is not a way to get attention. Emo is not a brand of music. Emo is not skinny jeans and ripped converse. Emo is not dyed black hair covering the face. Emo is emotional. Emo people aren't doing it for attention (well real emos don't) they do it to see if anyone cares. If there is anyone who gives a crap about their life. If no one is there then they commit suicide. Emo is a way of dealing with problems. The pain of cuts distract the pain from the rest of the world as The blood washes it away. So the next time you call someone a poser or drama queen, think about what they are going through.

Emo means emotional, not skinny jeans and black dyed hair.

There are a few types of Emo, 1. A fake, poser, of someone who cuts because they are going through a hard time I.g, Someone important dying, or something. The poser wants to seem cool. ( But your not. ) 2. A person who actually does cut because they actually are going through a hard time so they express their feelings through what they feel like wearing or listen to. 3. Someone who isn't emo at all, maybe into alternative stuff. They are labled emo, because maybe they have a bunch of hardcore band shirts or have died their hair RED and it turned out PURPLE\!

Idiot eleven year old: Oh my god, You are so emo. Your hair is PURPLE\! Me: No, its not, you blueberry, its RED. Idiot Eleven year old: No, its purple. Your so emo. Me: Do you even know what emo means? I don't cut myself, retard. Idiot eleven year old: Sure you don't. Emo. Me: Blueberry. ( He was wearing a blue sweatshirt, and he's fat. )

Emos officially suck. Why? 1 - They normally have well off lives, but tend to find small problems and pretend they're huge. 2 - Think they're not conformist, even though they look like all other emos (half the teen population \>_\>). 3 - They label themselves emo just to look cool to other kids, not because they like to. 4 - They act like they're so creative, but really they're just trying to show off how "deep" they are. PFF\!\!\!

Emo Guy: My typical high school GF just left me. Life is pain. Ima make a poem about how roses have thorns. Emo Girl: I miss him. I say "rawr" a lot because I think it's cute. Ima make a poem about curdling milk, because I'm just deep like that.

Being emo doesn't mean being depressed, suicidal or hating the world. It just means that you're more passionate than most other people. The word itself comes from the word 'emotional' and is used to describe someone who feels more passionately than most other people do. All of us are emo at least some of the time.

emo is short for emocore short for emotive hardcore a genre of music that started in the mid 80s it was started by punk bands who added more emotion into there music it started around the Washington D.C. area. it has been associate with crying for the fact that it makes you think and lets you express your self and let out emotions. there are many emo bands out there ranging from much screaming to little or non at all from i am ghost to fall out boy. also in the subculture metal nu rock or nu metal band have also become popular such as slipknot and linkin park also there r small secs of emo such as screamo since then it has taken on a role as a way of lie a hair style and a fashion though what you wear does not make you emo the preferred cloths are tight band T shirt black skinny jeans black hoodies also fingerless gloves and spiked wrist bands can also be add but remember that doesn't mean you are or aren't emo. also the preferred hair style for boys is bangs over front spiked in the back normally a little pass the ears for girls highly teased and layered. make up for girls and boys are eyeliner and black nail polish. it has also been associate with cutting this again is stereotypical while some do cut not all do and just because you do doesn't mean your emo also no not all emo boys are gay. they have been made fun of because of their differences but there actually is nothing wrong with being emo.

Many people have pre-judgements about Emo's. Alot of people will see an Emo and start bitching even though they don't know the person. There are many different reasons for people to want to be emo. Some people just like the fashion statements, some feel that it is the perfect way to express themselves, some feel they have been driven to it. But, unless you actually know the person, you really can't say anything bad about them. People often tag Emo kids as 'Rude, Anti-social, Freak and many more 'obscene' words' When infact most Emo's are actually really great people, they are fun, sensitive and they are so easy to be around. There is nothing wrong with being Emo. The typical 'Emo Stereotype' is wrong in many cases. The main point of being Emo is that you can express yourself freely, in whatever way you want to. Emo kids often look like the scene kids, there are a few tiny differences between the two but they are quite alike really. The Emo community is a fast growing and increasingly popular style among the younger generations. In other words what i'm trying to say is; Emo is THE SEXX\!\!\!

1) A derogatory term for any demographic of people with attitudes, beliefs and taste in clothes and music that the speaker thinks he understands better than they do. Use of the term 'Emo' will almost always preceed a lecture about 'Emo's in a way that grossly underestimates the number of demographics that there are. It is incorrect to use the term for any demographic that the speaker already has a name for. 2) Any young person who dies their hair an unnatural colour 3) Any young male with a Lisa Stansfield hairstyle. One of only two demographics to call themselves 'Emo's but they have, fortunately, been mostly killed now. 4) 'Emotive hardcore' music or a fan thereof 5) Over the top whinging in any work of art. 6) A name now adopted by a variety of people that couldn't come up with a better name for themselves than 'Alternatives' in the late 1990s. Frequently accused of conformist hypocrisy, most consciously intend to conform to their peer group and have never pretended otherwise. The only consistent characteristic of such an emo is that they dislike sportswear. Some look good but most have no idea

1) "Are you an emo or a goth?" "Eh? I'm wearing a Metallica T-shirt" 2) Nah you can't get in the cafeteria; there are bloody emos sat all over the floor 3) Kill that fuckin' emo faggot 4) I like 'emo' actually, yeah, but it's like, not what you think...

Emos have been stereotypicalized as ppl that cut themselves. If u took a moment to actually see how these "emos" are feeling then maybe u would understand why they cut if they do. Some ppl might do it but this does not make them "emos". Music wise, "emos" are seen to only listen to heavy metal and stuff like that. Have u ever thought that maybe they just like this music?? No. Because of all stereotypes that have been made, ppl that like this music immediately fall into the "emo" category. These "emos" just dress like they do because they maybe want to stick out and not go with the crowd. This is perfectly fine to understand if u could be open minded but u r just so closed off in your little fantasy label-ridden world that u cant take a chance to think of these reasons. So in future before u class anyone as an "emo" because they cut and/or like heavy music n wear dark clothes, at least get ur facts straight. If someone classes themselves as an "emo" then its obviously because they are sick of being talked about and labelled that they have chosen to believe this as truth. At least have a bit of thought about these "emos" because theyre still ppl with feelings n stuff so at least have a thought about how u could be affecting them. Some ppl go through a lot of shit in their lives and need ways to get it out. Dont judge them on how they do this, just go with it n try n actually help them.

Q:Oh he's such an emo V:Naah.Maybe he's got some shit going on Q:As if mann. Thatll be his excuse.If u look at his arms i bet theyll be cut V:Gee mann.You shouldnt just judge ppl on idiotic stereotypes Q:Whatever dude

Emo is, in reality, a subgenre of 80s hardcore punk, created by bands like Fugazi, Rites of Spring and Embrace. Later, in the early 90s, it was furthered by bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate and Jawbreaker. Pop-Rock bands commonly mistaken for "Emo" [My Chemical Romance] [Fall Out Boy] [Jimmy Eat World]

People who follow the emotional hardcore music scene. Emo is a shortening of emotional and in most cases refers to the style of music. Many people beleive that all emos cut themselves, this is not true. Yes, some emos cut themselves but so do some goths, punks and people who don't follow a particukar trend. Admittedly self harmers do seem drawn to the emo scene but this doesn't mean all emos self harm, most just dress and listen to music to try to seperate themselves from the herd. Self harming is an act commited by people who either beleive they need punishment, find some releif from emotion through physical pain or suffer from low self esteem. I used to be emo, I cut myself once or twice but only as a response to the constant ridiculing I was subject to.

Chav: Hey, emo kid\! Do you slit your wrists? Emo: Not all emos do ya know *shows wrists with no cuts* Do you see anything? Chav: Yeah, I see you're an emo\! Chavs group: Emo\! Emo\! *Chav and large group of friends laugh hysterically and emo leaves*

The male species wear tight pants and tight shirts that show their out of shape arms. 95% of the time you can only see one of their eyes because they have hair over one of them. These are referred to as "cyclops emos." All of them deny their emonallity. The female species are very bitchy and will snap if you call them emo. they generally all cut their wrist to "relieve their eternal pain and suffering." All emos say people don't understand them and say they have had a crisis happen to them such as molestation and or rape. Emos are usually born nerds who can't seem to mutualize with anybody as friends so they join the emo clan. Emoism usually begins for rejects at around age 13 and usually ends around age 17, but can last much longer.

If you heard the emo song thats all just a bad strioetype. Emo isnt like goth. Emo isnt a cult. Emo started out as a type of music and developed into a style. Emo is short for emotional. And next time you see an emo dont judge them right away get to know them first. If your child is emo. Leave it alone it may be a phase and they WILL grow out of it. Though it take a while support them and it will be be okay.

emo:Black clothes. Eye liner. Makeup.

A group of fucking people that want other people to feel bad for them. Go ahead and wear black become an outsider to society. If you want to be that person that everyone stares at go ahead. No one feels sorry for you for cutting your damn wrist. Get over your life. Life is not meant for sadness or black. It's meant to be happy.

a HORRIBLE label for a group of people with a sense of style that is obviously too much for society to take without saying mean things, are generally sad and may or may not cut themselves. Some things to know about emo kids: -they typically do not go about declaring themselves as "emo," people who do that are what you would consider "posers." (posers suck.) -they DO NOT ALWAYS CUT THEMSELVES\!\!\!\!\! plenty of people of all ages cut themselves, emos are just most stereotyped for it. -they are usually very nice people, and good friends to have because they do care about what you have to say. they're awesome listeners. -they are very open and accepting of people outside their own "social cliques" exempting preps/ghetto-ass wannabe gangster trash kids. they are also some of the least homophobic heterosexual people i have ever met. -they can be drama queens sometimes, but unfortunately, they usually do have some major life issues that go on at home that the rest of the world doesn't see, making them seem more whiny and pointlessly depressed than they actually are. -they are more often than not very intelligent and intellectual, and are more concerned about deep matters than other people. -they typically have darkly colored, straight hair that covers one side of the face, sometimes wear eyeliner, skinny jeans, tight novelty or emo/indie band tees, scarves, wristbands and vividly colored bracelets, and usually just wear as much black, grey and other dark neutral colors as possible. -many emo kids have the tendency to obsess over gir from invader zim. i don't know why or how it started, but it did. i think it's kind of like an emo fad or something. (i don't blame them however, gir is pretty damn rad.)

(p.s. sorry i would have done links here but the damn linkblocker wouldnt let me do them so just search cute emo boys/girls in google and voila your cute emo kids m'kay?)

I write poetry, but not all of it is sad. Actually most of it is relativily happy. Emo is short for "Emotional".

ok, lets quit dissing the emos. emo stands for emotional. many of them dont know how to cope with the many hard obstacles of life(like me) and many of them turn to cutting themselves. it helps release everything that is being held inside. not all emos have black spiky hair and tight jeans etc. an emo person can look like a prep. it doesnt matter, fact is, is that emo means emotional. it can also be a style.

Emo does have to do with emotional. Mostly teens are emo. If their life is depressing, and they cut themselves (especially in wrists), they are considered emo. Just because someone wears black, dark make-up, has hair in their face, and wears skinny jeans does not make them emo. Emos are people too. They are not always depressed, they don't listen to all hardcore music, and they don't cut themselves 24/7. They do have lives. Emos usually only tell very close friends that they cut, they don't blab it to everyone to make everyone feel sorry for them. So if someone is telling everyone that they cut, then they are just doing that for pity.

A teenager that gets sad and cuts sometimes, which is considered emo.

"Emo" Is just a genre of music, although people use it as a label. Just to let you guys know.. You can't really be emo... i think the style you are looking for is "scene". Emo music includes bands like 'Hawthorne Heights' or even 'Portraits of the past'. If you call youself "Emo" You are probably a poser, sorry.

A subclass of music that is overly emotional (and not really emotional i.e. "posers"). The members of the band dye their hair black, wear extremely tight girl-jeans, comb the hair over one eye, wear wool scarves, and wear shirts with very stupid designs. Known for their emotionalness, extraordinary ability to think their life sucks no matter what, hairstyle, and wearing all black. EMOS ARE NOT ROCKERS/METALHEADS/GOTHS IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. They are often confused simply for wearing band shirts and all black. [goths] hate everyone, emos hate themselves. [rockers] listen to rock, emos listen to emo crap [metalheads] beat the shit outta people and have long hair, emos hurt themselves and have gay haircuts SO DON'T CALL THE LOCAL ROCKER GROUP AT YOUr SCHOOL EMOS

A word whose definition has been so butchered by so many people that most people just make up their own definition of the stereotype, which is usually complete bullshit. If ANYONE wants to know the REAL, ORIGINAL definition of the word, here it is (otherwise, fuck off): a genre of music which branched off of 80's punk music to create a soft, unique form of rock. NOT to be confused with punk, metal, screamo, or alternative rock. NOT to be confused with angsty teens, boys who wear tight pants, people who are depressed, cutters, goths, or a combination of all six. I know lots of people will disagree, but I KNOW I'm right.XD (Yes, I already know that I'm a stuck-up bitch who thinks she's always right, so don't even bother telling me something I already know)

well, emos are often confused with goths and people most people think that just cuz they have black hair with long bangs and cuts themselves but this is very, very wrong. emo people hate life, cut themselves and usually have great hair. true emos don't cut themselves for attention, like those fucktard preps who cut themselves, they cut themselves because if they don't, their world will turn upside down and there life will suck. another thing about emos is they aren't pussies like those stupid metalheads think they are. all the emos i know are just as freaking hardcore as any metalhead. and emos are usually way cooler and less dark than everyone thinks, cuz if you actually get to know them they will never hurt you, only themselves and don't even try to make them stop hurting themselves cuz they won't.

AS the meaning of the word used in modern times. An Emo is GENERALLY a extremely depressive person who broadcasts these feelings in extreme ways to grasp for attention. The majority of "emos" wear your stereotypical tight black clothing with a mix of dark cold colors like purple and blue and on the off occasion red and pink. Also sporting the current hair style of bangs over one of both eyes with longer collarbone length hair for males and long hair for the females. Also usually darker tones, presumable dyed if the natural coloring wasn't dark enough. Accessories usually include some kind of music device. (CD player covered in stickers and black marker, small oddly brightly colored mp3 players with ear buds so as to not interfere with their hair.)A personal journal and some kind of form fitting hooded zipper jacket. Some also wear makeup. nothing too drastic usually sticking to the dark colors again, eyeliner and mascara mostly, for males and females. Some go as far as to use glitter to draw attention to the eyes. A moderate amount of "emos" cut to "show the world their inner pain." This would sometimes be the skin scraping enough to scab, *supposed "Posers"* Or to the depth that stitches may be required. *Authors personal opinion, these "cutters" should be locked up in a safe facility.* Some "emos" may be expressive enough about their feelings to show them as expressively as the prophets of ancient times. Screaming, rantings, crying, sobbing, and so on in the negative and angry emotions. The combination of all the things said above make "emo" an easy target for modern society to scorn. which seems to be the ultimate goal of most "emo" people. *Side note: Emo's do not have a set age, height, weight, or race limitation. The author in fact knows a family of "emos". though it is odd that the mother has followed the vast majority of "attention Trends" for the past ten to fifteen years. since the birth of her first child. "Country Girl", "Harley Enthusiast", Feminist, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, and now "emo/cutter". TO which she posted bulletins about the last three changes on her myspace. Could be something to that.*

EMoSOlja : I'm into dark stuff man. It helps me show my pain. Commoner: Like the a Goth? Goths are Dark but pretty heartless. EMoSOlja : NO I am NOT a GOTH\! I have feelings\! I WANT you to feel my emotions like I do\! *sorry horrible example. I'm out of descriptiveness. yeah I'm not sure that's a word but it covers my meaning nicely.*

Emo. A sub culture of well off, white, middle class, suburbanite, teenage/twentysomethings, that don't have any real cause for stress in their lives. As this is seen as unacceptable in societies where self proclaimed victimization is seen as a cause and excuse for any possible act. Emo's hence resort to bemoaning their predicment (Otherwise known as emotional masterbation), when 95% of the worlds poulation would quite gladly kill them for what these little twats have handed to them. They also find/express their individuality by dressing and acting like all the other twats which call themselves emo.

A label coined by the media to define a new soft core punk rock tendency and its followers. Even when false, it is nowadays used to define a new teenage generation with dense emotional interface. Very soon they found themselves antagonized and unaccepted by many groups and creeds. A curious phenomenon given the fact that they are mostly concerned with their own matters and pose no threat to anyone else. Much like the hippies in the sixties, who also suffered heavy discrimination despites their peaceful and non-violent tendency, emos have borrowed only more notoriety from the criticism and developed into a modern era phenomenon.

Josh: People in school are saying Peter is emo... Gary: Thats so gay. Josh: Tell me about it. Did you buy tickets for the next show of Monstertruck Madness? Gary: Sure did. I never miss the chance to see fuel burning and metal grinding. Josh: Now THATS something manly... poor Peter. Gary: ... poor Peter.

As Is The Word Goth, Emo Has Become Something Of A Stereotyping Mainstream. A Stereotypical Emo Would Cut Themself, Cry All The Time, Cover Their Face With Hair, Wear Tight Clothing And Listen To Rock Songs About Depression And Heartbreak. But In Reality Emo Is Just A Word So That Some People Can Feel Like They Belong, While Others Use It A Tool To Place Someone In A Catagory (Which May Or May Not Even Be Correct). Emo, Along With [Goth] And Also [Skater], Is Just A Subculture Of [Punk], Mainly Looking At How Hard Life And Love Can Be (Especially When The Word "Love" Is Thrown Around So Much, It's Meaning Is Lost). But Today, All These Cultures And Subcultures Can Easily Be Faked Just By Wearing Certain Clothes, I Could Quite Easily Put A Pair Of Tight Jeans And Converse On, And People Would Say I'm Emo, But Then I Put Baggy Trousers On, Big Boots And Some Black Lipstick, And I Am Seen As Goth. But It Is Annoying When You Get An Emo Who Wants Everyone Else To Know It, Same Goes As Some Goths.

Emo Is Short For Emotional, But You Most Probably Didn't Know That (Note: I Am Not Seen As Emo, More Like A Goth, But I Go For Individualised Alternative Human Being) Also Look Out For My Definition Of Goth

First things first. Emo does NOT mean emotional. People who are emo are NOT always depressed. They can be happy and hyper too. They do NOT always cut themselves. These typical stereotypes are NOT true. Get it through your head, mkay? And the music that is labeled as emo, is not really emo at all. If everything that was sad was labeled emo, "Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston would fit into that catigory. Jeez, people. Secondly, emo boys(or girls, depending on if you're a boy or girl) are the sexiest people to ever grace this earth. Anyone else just won't measure up. Thirdly, emo boys/girls are NOT all gay. Just because a guy wears tight jeans or puts on eyeliner doesn't make him gay. Actors wear makeup all the time. And the pants look extremely hott on guys. And the dyed hair doesn't make them gay because people dye their hair all the time. So what it isn't super bright green or pink or red? Their just colors, get over it. Its called expression.

A person who is tounch with their feelings and inner self. Most have a finge that covers 1 eye. but so do i and im not an emo. Someone who is fun loving but enjoys sitting down and talking about the important things. Most "emos" are intelligent people and dont speek because they do not want to waste their breath on pointless conversations. And spend alot of time writing music or poetry witch is deep and meaningfull. EMOS ARE NOT SUICIDLE THEY DO NOT SLIT THEIR WRISTS\!\!\!\!(not all of them)

An Example is half the musicians in the rock seen.....like Ian watkins-in the rooftops video the guys who did the song dirty lil secrets and the stero-type emo Hortine heights or what ever their called.

emo is when a teenager is overly emotional or very sensitive. the majority of the definitions on this websites that have to do with emos are only making fun of them.one thing to know is that not ALL emos cut themselves. they are children approximately from ages 14 through 18, that are unstable with their own emotions and become depressed. they tend to cry alot, read alot of books, write poetry/ stories/ lyrics, & dress in a certain way. Emos usually have on almost all black or other dark colors. for example, navy,crimson,brown, and rarely neon.an emo always has a pair of converse/vans that looks like it has been worn for years. they can have lyrics written on then or drawings.their hair need sto be jet black and covering one eye & soemtimes spikey in the back.they wear mostly band t shirts or no name brands, mostly from Hottopic.extremely tight clothing is a MUST. NOTE: many people think emos are bitter, retarded,etc. but actually ive met alot who has been very thoughtful ,sincere, and respectful. unfortunately, they get judged by stereotypes & the way they dress.

this is one type of stereotype : john is prep & he is talking to alex, another prep. john: wtf ?\! look at that emo fag\! he wears tight ass jeans & looks like a fucking girl\! Alex: i know right? dude, lets got beat him up\! emos take alot of shit from preps, goths, skaters, punks, etc.

emo kids fucking suck at life. just because someone is depressed, have suicidal tendencies, or cut themselves does not mean they are in the emo scene. emo kids have have tainted everything for people who actualy suffer from depression and do cut themselves. they do not self-mutilate for enjoyment they do it as a control issue as they feel they have no control in their life and the physical pain is all that they can feel at that time as they feel empty inside. they don't do it for attention as emo kids do or to fit into a scene that has some of the most god awaful music(ie. blood brothers). fuck emo kids up the ass with the knife they use to cut themselves with.

emo - verbalize that they are deprssed, hate life and try to show their cuts to the world with a saddened look to their face depressed person - don't verbalize anything, hide their cuts and act like nothings wrong

Emos are those aloof and alienated people who express their sentimentalities (usually dark) well in their art, may it be poetry, painting, music etc. It's not about the hair, the look, the thick eyeliner nor the failed relationships (ok, sometimes it is).

That kid you don't usually talk to, has tried to commit suicide twice, has cuts on his wrists and has a collection of disturbing poems and drawings under his bed. He's emo.

A genre of music that appeals to most people, even though some people try to hide that they like it because they are afraid of expressing themselves as emos do. This music is semi punk music but of a softer tone, some popular groups are Taking Back Sunday, Death Cab for Cutie, and Hawthorne Heights. Also, a "group" of people who tend to dress dark, simalar to goths, but their clothes tend to be tighter and sometimes have more color, though mostly black is worn. They wear eye-liner and some wear eye-shadow, be them guy or girl. People like to make fun of these people but usually this is just a sign that they are insecure with themselves and who they are so they tend to lash out at those who are comfortable with expressing themselves, and lack these problems because they do not try to be something they are not. Emos hair styles are usually very odd, but nicely so... like mine. ^_^ Emos tend to cover their eyes or face with their long, beautiful bangs and usually keep it at an angle. This is very popular and for good reason. Emos rule, and one day they will rule YOU\!

Emo is just another stupid stereotype. Emo does not mean you listen to [MCR] and [Fall Out Boy] all the time. Emo does not mean you cut yourself. Emo is just another label. Apparently, it has become cool to be uncool. So many people out there have labeled themselves emo, even though so many others call emos "fags". The vast majority of people that label themselves are just [poseurs]. Both boys and girls that are eventually going to be labeled emo usually have: -tight jeans -hair that covers at least one eye -a playlist containing either bands that others have labeled emo, or bands that few have ever heard of -tight tee shirts, probably a band shirt -eyeliner -Converse or Vans In my world, these kinds of things are perfectly normal, even the tight jeans and eyeliner on guys. But some people choose to label these people emo. Emo does not actually mean anything. Emo is actually just another stupid label given to people that don't fit someone else's version of normal. OK, rant over.

Tight jeans and eyeliner on a guy doesn't make that guy emo. Labeling that guy emo makes him emo.

The other 1200 definitions explain the term itself and its origins better than I can here, but it is important to note that the music and accompanying culture currently labeled "emo" by the press and popular media (as well as by the kids themselves) is essentially the same music and culture we all would have simply referred to as "alternative" a decade ago, and which has been shoveled into the media-created pigeonhole formerly occupied by the (arguably artificial) subgenre of "alternative" music known as "grunge" back in the '90s.

Wrong: I'm feeling so emo because my girlfriend left me. I think I'll cut myself. Right: I wanted to go in the pit at the show but the last band was emo and some chick started kissing me.

Emo is not what lots of people think it is. Emo is purely a form of punk music. The topics covered in it, such as cutting, depression, suicide, etc, are often taken by fans of the music, and they end up wearing black, cutting, hating themselves and eventualy even killing themselves. It is sensless. Emo is music, right? Not a bloody subculture\!

Emo is music\! Don't get me wrong though, I love emo music.

The word Emo refers to either: 1. The Emo (Or Emotive Hardcore) Modern Music Genre, a subdivision of Hardcore Punk. 2. The Emo (Or Emotive Hardcore) movement: a subculture of western, middle to upper-class young people. Note: Not to be confused with [Goth] The Term [Emotive Hardcore] began with the band [Rites of Spring] in 1985 who took a more personal approach to punk. Their songs were about personal problems and negativities they experienced in life and the term 'Emo' was coined as an insult to describe the followers of the band. Modern Emo bands are difficult to pick because whether or not a band is emo is very subjective. Many people consider Pop-Punk bands such as Good Charlotte and Taking Back Sunday as Emo, others do not. Bands most widely excepted as emo include [Dashboard Confessional], [My Chemical Romance], [Panic\! At the Disco] and [Lost Prophets], though even these arguably fall under the genre. Emo music is often avoided by non-emos simply because it is emo, but not always. Just because someone listens to an emo band, does not mean they are emo. The Emo subculture is a group comprising practicaly entirely of teenagers from a middle to upper-class society. Emos are generally people from well-off homes who consider themselves depressed and distraught. They disapprove with modern ways of thinking and seek not to [conform] to Pop-Culture. They dress usually in black and thier hair is almost always straight and dark, often covering part of the face. Emo's often have modified sexual preferences and are open to sexual experimentation whereby they consider themselves homosexual and bisexual however considering the young age of many such emos, the actual accuracy of their sexual status is often arguable as many believe such people are still growing and thus have not been able to make a proper decision as yet. There are two types of Emo's 1: Try-hard Emo's: As named by true Emo's (see below), try-hard emos are people who believe themselves to be emo. They dress like emos and openly advertise thier self-proclaimed Emo status. These types of emos are unlikely to have been through any sort of emotional turmoil and simply dress as they do for social reasons in most cases. 2: True Emo's: Often an evolution of a try-hard emo, but not always, a true emo is a person who genuinly considers themselves depressed. True emo's will never call themselves emo but may use terms such as [Scene Kid] to describe each other and will often openly advertise their depression. The transition between the two types of emo is often the result of a relationship break-up whereby the emo considers themselves wrongly done by and depressed as a result. Sadly, true emos will often hurt themselves either in self-pity or as a public display of thier depression. This stereotypically involves slitting of the wrists whereby an emo attempts sucide (though purposly does not follow through) but can often incude other forms of self-destruction. Emos rarely sucide without an outside force such as drugs or alcohol having an effect on them The parody from the emo subculture is obvious and along with their somewhat anti-social behaviour almost always leads to their outcast from other social groups (which in turn they may consider to add to their depression). The Emo Parody: 1. Emos disagree with modern pop-culture and wish to separate themselves from modern society – they seek to be individual, but in doing so they actually simply group themselves into another culture, and a negative one at that. They fail to be individual at all and instead are just another group of people. 2. Emos believe themselves depressed, though clinically almost all emos are perfectly healthy mentally and their self-proclaimed depression is an insult to truly depressed people. Emos are well off people who draw attention to themselves by, and perhaps even gain pleasure in, attempting to lead others to believe they are depressed by past experiences. They truth of the matter is, everyone experiences the issues they face, and many people to a greater and much more damaging degree. Emos are depressed about nothing and if they spent half the time they spend wallowing in self-pity as they did happy and fulfilled, the world and their world would be a considerably better place.

Non-Emo: Those Fucking Emo kids are such a pack of cunts. Try-Hard Emo: I am so depressed man. Nobody gets me. I wish i wasn't an emo. True-Emo 1: Nobody gets me man. I am so depressed. True Emo 2: Man, you cut your wrists. Why? True Emo 1: The world just doesn't get me *sob*

Emo began as a music style in the '90's, and has become associated with bands like My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy etc. It became a style that mostly (NOT ALWAYS) focuses on the vintage-look (retro brand names etc). Being emo myself, you're all gonna think 'OMG IT'S AN EMO, SHE'S, LIKE, GONNA BE, LIKE, OMGWTFBBQ MY LIFE SUCKS EMO'S RULE THEY'RE SO HARDCORE OMG LMAO' or something like that. (I'm not taking the mick out of anyone, I swear. Sorry if I offended someone.) I'm not depressed all the time, I'm not always writing dark poems about life, and I'm not anorexically skinny (I laugh about that). Why is emo associated with self-harm? Just because some people decided that any depressing self-destruction music MUST be emo? Emos are usually, as far as I know, into the retro emo bands that began the emo craze, and the more modern bands like Panic\! \@ The Disco etc. The most common feature of emo is the hair with a side-parting. The bangs are NOT always covering one eye, NOT always dark, NOT always straight, NOT always shaggy for boys and NOT always short for girls. The thing I've noticed that made me laugh about people's descriptions for emo boys was that they all wear trousers fitted for girls. WHAT A CROCK. I've never seen an emo boy dressed in trousers that are fit for girls. It would look a bit dumb, I mean, with the hips and all. So what if the trousers might be tight? It doesn't mean they're for girls\! SERIOUSLY STRANGE. But if there is an emo boy who wears girls trousers, SORRY. Another big thing for emo is the gloves/bracelettes and scraves. NOT everyone wears them but it's pretty common, from what I've seen. I AM NOT AN EXPERT. This is my opinion and it's not always right\! Emo is a fashion sense that may have stereotypes but not all emos follow them. Who can tell me they know EXACTLY what the emo fashion is? Anyone? I don't think even emos can really tell me.

Emo is term used today to describe mostly anyone. Its used to desribe people from [jocks] to [nerds]. It is often confused with hardcore or scene. If someone takes a picture of themselves on myspace that involves a mirron, real close up, or from an odd angle, its considered emo. Most people that desribe others as emo usually dont understand what emo truly is. Some common misconceptions are with the trends [emo kids] follow. They usually wear tight pants (not girl pants) only black t-shirts, studded belts but white sometimes if they know much about the [scene] lol, and often have hair covering one side of their face. What is sad about these characteristics is that they desribe many other stereotypes as well, such as scene, [goth], nerds, wanna be goths, ex-nerds, and well mostly anyone. The people that make fun of emo are even worse. Emo kids follow trends just like everyone else. Is a preppy person not following a trend by shoping for clothes at aeropostal or a store of that sort? They just are insecure about themselves and feel a need to pick on someone that may be more open with their feelings or someone who fits the stereotype. If people are to continue making fun of the emo fad, they need to actually take a look at people who call themselves emo, and see them for who they really are and not just some stereotype.

an emo IS NOT as some people seem to think a cross between a punk/skater/goth. they are their own person\! some people seem to think they are emos because of the clothes they where but that is not true. and emo is someone who wheres that certain type of clothing, listens to a certain type of music which is of a soft rock genre and are often depressed , make their lives out to be really bad and horrible and often self-harm. although i must make this clear\! it is not only emos who self harm anyone can do it and be suicidal\!

In my personal experiance, most "emo kids" either a) have a genuine reason to be depressed, b) like the clothing style, or c) like the music... they aren't just the whiney bitches you all make them out to be. Sure, there are the few whiney ones here and there, but face it, there are whiney people everywhere. also, for the record most emo kids I know arn't the snobby rich kids that cry over the little BS and only one person I know cuts herself, and god forbid someone come to the conclusion she has a mental disorder... I'm not an emo kid, I make no claim to be, infact I like baggy clothes and like my hair short. And stop dissing the music\! it doesn't suck. well some of it does, but most of it doesn't. Look, I wouldn't give it five stars, but it sucks less then lotsa stuff I've heard on the local hip hop station, and I do infact like hiphop-just not all of it, some of it does suck. just don't go there with the hater crap... it's getting old, just "shut up and smile"-Bowling for Soup

1)Country and blues music for the punk generation 2) Mature artistry that is overlooked by people who prefer misogynic music like gangsta rap, pop-rap, hardcore rap, most hard rock, certain R&B, and pop that only cares about sex

1)Emo is considered country and blues for the punk generation because it talks about the same things country and blues talk about--your lover leaving you and you think you can't go on without them-- yet it gets dissed while country and blues don't. What is wrong with this picture? 2) Anybody who claims emo is overwrought hasn't truely listened to it and are just hating on it because they're told it's cool to not express your emotions.

Emo does not stand for "emotional" as many people think, nor is it a stereotype of whiny kids with stupid fringed hair. EMO = EMOTIVE HARDCORE. IT'S A MUSICAL GENRE. READ THIS: After Minor Threat broke up in late 1983, the vibrant DC hardcore-punk scene that exploded in 1981 seems to start to run out of steam and fresh ideas within the established DC hardcore sound. The wistful, posthumous Minor Threat 7" "Salad Days" comes out in 1984 and drives the final nail into the coffin of DC hardcore punk. Bands all over the country begin casting about for new things to do : DRI and Bad Brains start going cheeze-metal, New York bands start doing tough-guy mosh, 7Seconds goes jangly U2 alternative, etc. The prevailing change in D.C. is toward melodic rock with punk sensibilities. 1984 marks the release of Zen Arcade by Minneapolis band Hüsker Dü, documenting their new mature sound combining furious, intense vocal delivery and driving guitars with slowed-down rockish tempos and more-complex, melodic songwriting. In spring 1984, a new band called Rites Of Spring forms from members of The Untouchables/Faith and Deadline. This band retains a punk speed and frenzy, but brings a totally new vocal approach to the mix. Singer Guy Picciotto keeps an out-of-breath punk style most of the time, at times delving into intensely personal lyrics dripping with emotion and sweat. His voice breaks down at climactic moments into a throaty, gravelly, passionate moan. The summer of 1985 becomes known as "Revolution Summer" when a new wave of rock-tempo, melody based, sung-vocal bands forms out of the DC punk musician pool with diverse rock sounds - Three, Gray Matter, Soulside, Ignition, Marginal Man, Fire Party, Rain, Shudder to Think, etc. Few bands retain the fast hardcore punk-based sound with the new vocal approach, Dag Nasty being the notable exception. Minor Threat's singer, Ian MacKaye's, sings for a band called Embrace (compare the band name to earlier DC bands Minor Threat, Void, and State Of Alert) whose lyrics are emotional and deeply self-questioning, but still clear and unambiguous. Musically, the group (formed mostly of ex-Faith members) writes midtempo, somewhat jangly music with a lot of pop guitar hooks. MacKaye's vocals retain his trademark bold enunciation, with only occasional sparks of emotive delivery. These bands' sound eventually becomes known as the classic "D.C. sound." Some of it is derisively labeled "emo," as shorthand for "emotional." One account has this term first appearing in a Flipside interview with Ian MacKaye. Shortly thereafter DC bands aquire the tag "emo-core." Slightly later (1986), some bands begin to focus on the "emo" element itself. The Hated in Annapolis (near D.C.) seem to be the first post-Rites of Spring to do this. Shortly thereafter, Moss Icon appears in in the same town. Moss Icon strips the "emo" element down to the core, and adds a great deal of intricate, arpeggiated guitar melody (by Tonie Joy, later of Born Against, Lava, Universal Order of Armageddon, etc.) with a strong focus on loud/soft dynamics. The vocals, too, break new ground by building up to actual top-of-the-lungs screaming at songs' climaxes. Moss Icon, as a relatively well-known band that toured some, introduces the punk scene to music that has core emphasis on emotion instead of punk energy. As such, I consider them the starting point for the emo movement, not Rites of Spring as is more commonly asserted. Later emo bands draw heavily from the Moss Icon dynamics, guitar style, and vocal delivery.

Emocore bands: Rites of Spring, Embrace, Gray Matter, Ignition, Dag Nasty, Monsula, Fugazi [kind of], Fuel, Samiam, Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music, Elliot, Friction, Soulside, early Lifetime, Split Lip/Chamberlain, Kerosene 454 Post-emo indie rock [the kind most people mistake to be true emocore]: Sunny Day Real Estate, Christie Front Drive, Promise Ring, Mineral, Boys Life, Sideshow, Get-Up Kids, Braid, Cap'n Jazz, then later Joan of Arc, Jets To Brazil, etc. Lots of Caulfield and Crank\! Records bands, more lately a lot of stuff on Jade Tree for instance.

ok ya emo is a type of music that is usually refered to as screamo... but the word emo has a different meaning..... to be emo means to cut ur self.... its not always on ur wrist... it could be anywhere on your body. if you think som1 is emo... talk to them DONT judge them.... usually somthing is going on and they have no one to talk to... so they cut... some cut because its a pain that they can see, feel, and control unlike the pain they r prolly feeling inside. emo people will occasionally wear tight pants, black, scarfs ect. but not all. bottom line: DONT BE STERIOTIPICAL

Girl 1: hi... i noticed ur scars and how u always seemed depressed... do u wanna talk about it Girl 2: no(she starts crying) Girl 1: r u sure... c'mon... cutting is bad for you... its not going to solve anything... u need to talk to som1... u can start by talking to me Girl 2: ok... ill tell u.... and she goes on with her story and girl 1 finnaly understands that all this emo girl needs is a friend

406. (emo) (0↑, 1↓)
Emo is a music style. Some describe it as teenagers who are always depressed and cut themselves. To call someone emo would be saying that they are music. To say, "Hey you emo kid" would be improper. The correct way to use emo in a sentence would be, "I'm into this emo music" Emo is none other than a style of music. To say otherwise would be rude. Using emo as an insult is stereotypical.

Word to the wise: If you want to help your emotional friend stop cutting, Don't: Threaten to tell someone, Tell them to stop cutting, Say that it makes them ugly. Do: Be there for them, Hang around with them a lot and let them know you are there for them, Say how much you care for them, & Rather than saying to stop cutting do something about it.

Emo means 'emotional.' It does NOT mean that the person cuts themself; they might, but lets not jump to conclusions. Emo is also a genre of music. Also, Punk. For example: -Hawthorn Heights -Amber Pacific -Cute Is What We Aim For -My Chemical Romance -Mayday Parade -Taking Back Sunday -Panic\! At The Disco -Paramore etc. Personallly, I like them all (: ** You are not emo if you call yourself emo. ** -People who take pictures of themselves and put 'emo' as the caption are called '[posers].' -Posers are people who act emo to be cool or to be in the social scene as emo, they only want attention. -Emo people do not complain about EVERYTHING and they are not LONERS. -When people cut their wrists it normally happens as a teenager and it will not happen as an adult, the person usually grows up and realizes they shouldn't be hurting themselves because of someone else.

*Goes on myspace and updates status* xHIxIMxEMOx: " Im such a depressed emo kid, im gonnnna go cut myself. :'( " ^^^ That is called a poser(: They want attention. (and comments on their status because its sooo dramatic) hah ----------------------------------------------------------------

A style of music relating to mostly underground bands, or music not popular to the self proclaimed 'in crowd'. Common listeners follow trends set by the lead singers of these bands, including skinny jeans, horn-rimmed glasses and band t-shirts. Incredibly false accusations of the term 'emo' include the opinions that people who listen to this style of music have mental disorders such as depression or bipolar depression, and that most all of them SI, or self injure, meaning they cut themselves. Bands who produce 'emo' music include Fall Out Boy, Flyleaf, Suicide Silence, Bring Me The Horizon and several other bands listed under the categories of 'screamo' or 'punk'. People often think the teens who listen to this music mimick the lyrics to the songs, which created the steryotyp that anyone wearing skinny jeans, horn rimmed glasses, black skin tight tops or have the 'emo hairstyle' (layered and teased, mulitcolored) go along are instantly emo.

"Like my skinnies?" "Wow, you're emo."

Depressed teenagers who often cut themselves 'to feel alive.' They typically have black hair, and thick rimmed glasses. They generally carry a black rain cloud of depression around, and they sigh a lot. They read books about cutting themselves, drug addictions and vampies, and enjoy movies with the same subjects.

an over-thought style with more haters then barrack obama. "emo" today contains people who cut themselves (cutters), people who are sad, people with choppy hair, and people who dress a certain way. SHUT UP\!\!\! emo is basically a group of people who show their EMOtions in public. Despite popular beleif, they usually have a reason: abuse rape heartbreak and feeling trapped are common in my own friends. ANOTHER type of emo is the music, although it doesn't sound good to most people, they are lyrics emos can relate to. because if you are very sad at the time, "i HATE everything about you\! WHY do i LOVE you?" (3 days grace) sounds a hell of a lot better than "there's a she-wolf in the closet" (shakira) or even "baby are you down, down, down, down down?" (jay sean) its basically a point of view where most try to cheer themselves up, emos will try to forget when they were happy so when they're sad it doesn't seem so bad.

Apparently there's been a lot of discussion throughout Urban Dictionary about the word 'emo'. I hope this will clear it up. I define emo as someone who is emotionally and/or mentally depressed. Not every person who is depressed is emo, but the ones who grow their depression and problems to 9000 times the size that they truly are and then tell other people about said problems so they can people to feel sorry for them. In some ways, they are alike geek and nerds, for I can see some geeks and nerds becoming emos if they are bullied repeatedly or thrust away from the real world. Emos usually keep to themselves as much as possible but would converse with other emos if they have to. They wear darker clothing and/or articles of clothing that sticks them out from a crowd of people. They try to attain positive attention this way, or recognition from others that they are 'emo' and should be feared because they are different. In this way, emos can be compared with scene people. Emos think negative thoughts most of the time, viewing the glass half empty and much smaller. They believe themselves to be different than any other human being, and so they decide on acting differently. They will act out in public, scare people, carry weapons, wear clothes no one else wears. In this way, they are like goths, but goths are more violent and hatred in their ways, actually going farther than any emo has. Emos destroy themselves from inside out from beginning to bully themselves mentally and verbally, then they work on to mental pain through real events in their lives, then physical pain and suffering, and after that its not impossible that they will commit suicide or go completely insane and think like only few people do. Perverted thoughts fill their heads; ones of killing people they have been hurt by, killing people in mass numbers, and the death of loved ones to give themselves pain every now and then. It sounds like a television show where the main character obtains certain powers and then tries to save the world/destroy it, and figure out someone they loved or a relative of a loved one is dead because of said main character's actions.

Hey Fred, what's with the long face? Well, George, my whole family is into being Catholic, but I totally disagree with their religion. And they won't stop hating me for it\! They can't just hate me because I want to live my own life the way I want to\! I just don't fxxxing understand why my parents hate their youngest son like this\! I really wish that....(A while and lots of moping and wallowing-in-one-self's-pity later) You see, that's why I decide to be emo and to cut myself and bleed over the Holy Cross. Oh, well won't you look at the time\! I have to get going\! See ya later Fred, hope you fix out the kinks with you parents\!

"Emo" is another word for "faggot" in which angsty teens dress up in black and pretend to have it bad while they live in their nice surburban home in a gated community so they can generate attention. Beyond contrary belief, emos come in two colors: white and pale. Each having to do with how long one is an emo.

Life is either what you make of it or what you do not make of it. IF you're happy going thru life sad and that's your thing, OK...BUT there is a lot more out there if your attitude is that "the glass is half full" - be positive. Just cause bad stuff happened to you, don't internalize it to the point where you cannot see the good stuff all around you. Personally, I find most emo's a downer who work hard at exuding bad vibes.

[emo] - Trying to exude no perceptible positive emotion, trying to be sad, and internalizing their feelings. Spending time writing in a journal, creating poetry, etc. Not trying to make a contribution to the world, only themselves (ie: vanity and self-centered behavior). Ask a question - "Where does this get me...where does this help me grow as an individual?"

Emo people usually stick together, yet are known to have very open fights on social networking sites, usually with other emo people. Emo people have been known to group together and attack people who insult the emo culture. Almost all emo people are afraid to become [goth], and some emo people deny the horrible truth of being emo. Those who recover from emo are ashamed of the past. It has been determined that they never show anyone pictures of them with the sickness. Sadly, with modern medicine, we have found no cure to this horrible sickness of thousands of people.

Here's a REAL, NON-STEREOTYPED definition of the word "Emo". What is emo? Most people view emo as a type of person. Someone who cuts themselves, hates the world, and wears tight clothing. Others view emo as a genre of music including bands such as [Fall Out Boy], [My Chemical Romance], and [Panic\! At the Disco]. Most people use emo to describe what is really called [scene]. What does the word emo mean? Most people believe emo is short for [emotional], as in an emotional person or emotional music. Others believe it’s short for [emotional hardcore]. Emo cannot mean emotional because then everything would be emo. Everything has emotions- all music, all people. Emo would become an all-encompassing, very vague, word that could be used to describe many things. The term emo is short for [emotive hardcore]. It was first used by the members of Rites of Spring in a 1985 interview in Flipside Magazine. Emo is not popular, and there are no mainstream emo bands. You will not hear emo on the radio. Hopefully this will set everybody straight. **Source\!: www.emotivehardcore.com**

Puberty-ridden attention-starved teenagers. They call themselves non-conformists, yet all they do is follow trends. They cry alot and act like pussies (due to further attention deprivation) whenever in public. When not in public, they spend their time taking pictures of themselves in mirrors looking like bitches. Nobody really wants to see that anyway. They all wear tight clothes and excessive amounts of makeup (boys and girls) and write droll and mundane poems about their "horrible" life. You know, the life in which they have food, shelter, and rich parents that love them. That life. Pretty horrible, eh? I personally feel a strong urge to drop-kick them on sight due to the unbearable amount of faggotry they expell.

Typically an "emo" is a stereotype surrounding most tweens-teens who dress in an alternative style. Their makeup, hair, and clothes mostly define their look, as "scene" or "emo". This "alternative" fashion they conform themselves to is derived from the "in" styles most preppy and or popular females tend to wear. Along with the basic designs for the clothing "emo" symbols are added onto the clothing in order to make it appear alternative. Emo, is mostly used as an insult, or a joke. Although the term doesn't derive from the word Emotional, it infact comes from Emotional/Hardcore music. (typically where most of today's stereotypes and subcatagories origionate) Most emo children tend to hold up some arguement that states, "Emo is a way of life..." They continue with meaningful definitions that support their arguements. However most of the filth we encounter, in life, chatrooms, schools, and websites, are just conformist vile kids who claim to be different. In all actuality these are the "preps" of the alternative world. They claim to be different and unique. They all look the same, how does this defend their arguement? Now for the definition: These confused children are ones who are usually middle class-upper middle class. They like to complain about their supposibly horrible lives, and about how noone could possibly understand them. They create problems and overdramatize even the smallest situation, for the purpose of fabricating a world of terror for themselves. Which typically ends in self-mutilation on small scales. They don't accept anyone unless they look, dress, act, and present themselves the way they do. They are usually annorexic or bulemic. Even though they are usually underweight they tend to think they are fat. Also they have turned a choice of sexuality into a fad.. These are the reasons why gays, lesbians, and bisexuals will never have the rights we deserve. To sum it up. They are posers, filth, attention whores, sad excuses for human beings, a trend, a fad, worthless and meaningless, and should be shot so we didn't have to hear their pitiful cries.

*flips hair* Omg guys we r so lyk unique. Emo is a way of life\! Oh em geee lets write depressing poems that don't make sense about our "horrible lives". Good idea then we can slit our wrists\! YAY\!\!\! My girlfriend just dumped me\! I'm going to kill myself\!\!\! We were only dating for a couple days, I barely knew her, but we had such a deep connection\! I want to die *cries* I'll probably just slit my wrists to My Chemical Romance seeing as I have no will to die.

Nobody knows what emo is. Ive seen people who are depressed get called emo. If i could choose what emo is, it would be a depressed kid, but theres a whole lot of stuff on here saying that its about music and people that cut themselves and wear black. So, I dont think anybody really knows what it is. I agree with the things that say that being a non-conformist is being emo now. Being different is being the same.

Despite many of the other definitions on this site, the term 'emo' is actually used to describe people who have trouble controlling and handling their emotions. not all emos cut themselves, and not all emos listen to 'emo' music, though admittedly a lot of them do...

Emo is a genre of music which has been around since the 1980s or so and started with Emotive Hardcore or something. Apart from a) in relevance to fans from that time period, or b) the musical history perhaps found in Kerrang\! magazine or Wikipedia, the term "emo" is no longer widely used to describe this. In definition the word "emo" is mostly heard on the streets, especially in "Great" Britain to define: a) a style of music involving Dashboard Confessional or My Chemical Romance -- and sometimes used prejudicedly by others who term anything containing a guitar and singing together as "emo" music (despite that what music is "emo" or not has become yet more blurred with the introduction of High School Musical which is supposed to be some mainstream form of pop or hiphop music but has been latched onto by "emos" as has it by "chavs") b) a style of fashion which can include black or neon coloured skinny jeans, Vans or Converse trainers, black eyeliner and sometimes lipstick, black dyed hair, and fitted band-logo t-shirts/cardigans etc/band-logo hoodies, or any combination of these c) a term used cheerfully by people who are involved with one or both of the above, to describe themselves, others and it d) a derogatory term used disapprovingly by people who do not consider themselves or their style of music/dress "emo", perhaps because they are disgusted that others categorize things they like as "emo" and they personally do not know enough about the definition of "emo" to realise that this could be wholly or partly true, so they acquire a prejudice In truth, people should stop being so offended about the use of the term "emo" because at the end of the day it's like when black people used to be referred to as "nigger" and besides that they still find this offensive but many happily refer to themselves as "nigger". On that basis, it should be understood that if somebody does NOT refer to themselves, their style of dress, or their band or bands they like, as "emo", they will not appreciate somebody calling them as such - as also stood in the 1990s with "grunge" and has done with "goth" and "punk". If somebody DOES refer to themselves as "emo", they are emo and proud because they say so. It is not something like sexuality that people generally hide from; usually teenagers are happy to express what they like. BASICALLY SOMEBODY IS NOT ACTUALLY EMO UNLESS THEY SAY SO, WHATEVER EVIDENCE OTHERS MIGHT PROVIDE THAT THEY FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY. So note to people who have found the other above definitions of "emo" offensive - just quit worrying about it because people ARE going to call you "emo" for those above reasons, and if you call yourself "emo" then you have to prepare for people to carry on like that. It means they are small-minded and don't know what it connotates to. I know that sucks, but it's the sad truth. The gift of free speech in places such as Urban Dictionary is a brilliant thing; the fact that people use the anonymy of the internet to say abusive things from a safe distance holed up in their boring homes, when it proves they have nothing to do, is an unhappy truth in itself, but being offended by any of that just means that they have got what they hoped for - and proves their point about emo stereotypes. If someone bullies "emos" about being "emo" then that shows what an idiot the person is. If the "emo" cries about it and gets all messed-up then the bully wins. Hope that helps a lil. :)

"My Chemical Romance is an emo band" (example of opinion) "Kerrang\! magazine is only read by emos" (example of small-mindedness) "That kid is an emo" (example of stereotype) "That kid SAYS he is an emo" (example of justification, which is needed before somebody makes a comment like "That kid is an emo")

To me, emo is a word used inappropriately too much these days. Everyone has their own definition on emo, but really emo can mean alot of different things. Emo - A kind of music that originated from [Hardcore] [Punk]. But what i think an emo PERSON is, it is someone who is emotional, someone who is emotional about what is happening and what they do, they are a person, not a creature from outta space. They use very touching and "emotional" words, and they care. Emo, does not mean "wrist cutter" a wrist cutter is someone with problems, someone who has to figure out their life. Most people judge others they have never met, rather it be they see them in the city or at school if they wear wrist bands, have a side fringe with black hair and they wear lots of black and make up they instantly think "Whoa look at that sad emo\!" then go and tell their friends, without even knowing the person. I know alot of people that dress like the above and they are the happiest people ever and i can not imagine them slitting their wrists to "hawthorn heights" or "Dashboard confessional", It's all just a big label. If you wanna know what emo is, its basecly a word used too much to describe people that other people have never met.

Judgmental person: "OH MY GOD\!\!\! LOOK AT THAT EMO OVER THERE\!\!\!" Judgmental persons friend: "Do you even know them?" Judgmental person: "No" Judgmental persons friend: "Then how do u know their lifestyle?" Judgmental person: "I don't" Judgmental persons friend: "Then why did you call them emo?" Judgmental person: "Because they are" Judgmental persons friend: "Do you even know what emo exactly is?" Judgmental person: "...No..."

The emo subculture originated in the late 1980's-1990's. It started off meaning "Emotive" or "Emoticore" refering to a type of hardcore punk. The original emo bands were ones such as Rites of Spring (who claim their fans started the term emo), and Embrace. During the late 1990's faded from it's place in the mainstream, but did exist. One of this time's signifigant emo conerstones was Weezers album "Pinkerton". From 2000 on emo came back (harder than ever\!). When emo came back, it's true meaning was somewhat lost and certain fasets of the true emo culture changed. "Emo" now is said to stand for "emotional" and many bands that emo people listen to are a very washed down, pop, sad version of punk. Such modern emo bands are Dashboard Confesional, and Further Seems Forever. With it's change of meaning modern emo's act very emotional. Often they show signs of depression, wearing black and having a very pessimistic view of the world.

Basically, NO ONE knows what emo is anymore. Some say it's people who want to kill themselves/hate life/etc., but those are just people who, plainly, are depressed and upset with life. Doesn't mean they're emo. And there's also the emo dressing style. Seriously, what the hell? Just because you wear skinny jeans and black-rimmed glasses doesn't make you emo, either. As for me, I say that emo is a certain type of music, with meaningful lyrics about past mistakes and failed relationships with others, and emotions (any kind of emotion) Happy, sad, angry, jealous, etc. But hey, who's right about the "word" emo now-a-days?

Emo is defined by a group of 14-17 year old suburban highschool students who complain about how hard they have it. Emo followers complain about how their parents make them grow up in an upper middle class enviornment. To be emo you must listen to emotional garbage pop artists such as Taking Back Sunday, The Killers, and other lame bands of that sort. An emo person will also have a myspace page set as private so they can feel like they are depriving someone from being their friend by their choice. Emo people always have extremly tight clothing mainly in the color black. They have 1/3 of their face covered by their greasy flat hair. This is believed to cover their eye so nobody can see into their tortured soul or some b.s.

An example of an emo is that loner who sits in the corner with his group of homosexual looking goths. Emo and goth are completely seperate catagories and are not to be confused with one another. Goths usually have some substance to their being and do not want approval from others. Where emo's want to act like goths but will never get the slitest amount of respect from anyone.

Ok, I really want to get this straight. The ORIGINAL definition of "emo" can be broken down like this: "Emo" is short for "emotive hardcore," or "emotional harcore." The word "hardcore" is referring to hardcore punk music. Emo is a form of hardcore punk music, although after different "waves" of emo coming and going through the years, there are still some bands that differ from the original emo music that can still be defined as emo. NOW- the word "emo" is being used to describe the current sub-culture of the supposed genre of music that is emo, although this current subculture is often found not to listen to real emo music. It is actually true that the original subculture of emo looked completely different from what our perception is now. Just because somebody dresses or looks "emo" doesn't mean that they cut themselves and act sad all the time. And if they do, it's not always necessarily to get attention. Depression is a real thing and should be taken seriously. "Emo" kids should be given the same respect that is given to any other kind of person, because we are all people and deserve equal treatment, regardless of how we look and what music we listen to.

Depends on who you ask and what year you are talking about. In 1996 or so when I was in high school we used the term emo to refer to bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Remnant, and more well known bands like the Smashing Pumpkins. Now it is used to describe an entire MAINSTREAM culture of kids who think that they are going to get somewhere in life by being stupid. They usually talk about how counterculture they are unaware that emo is a manufactured image sold to them so that industries can make a dollar off of them by selling them records, hair products, clothing, and concert tickets.

A state of mind in which the person usually feels hopeless and alone. It is not a fashion statement, although many 'emo' people tend to dress in skinny jeans, black hair, etc. because they know it will differntiate themselves from those 'abercrombie-wearing'kids, so that they will likely never have to deal with them. A common myth is that most emos cut themselves. This is a stereo-type. Self mutilation is caused by depression. One does not have to be emo to cut, but one who cuts is likely to choose to dress 'emo', to express themselves. The 'emo' genre of music is generallytypes of rock, such as screamo, punk, etc. examples: Children Of Bodom, Senses Fail, The Rocket Summer, etc.

1) For whatever reason, a highly controversial word in youth culture and popular culture circles. Probably the definition that can be the most agreed upon is that side of [post-hardcore] which is melodic and accessible enough for mainstream pop audiences to enjoy. It should be taken into account that most bands who play this type of music are divorced from the [art punk] tendencies of many of the pioneering post-hardcore bands from the 1980s and 1990s. 2) "Emo" can also refer to the youth subculture that is centered around the particular niche of post-hardcore described in definition 1, which, much like the [punk], [goth], and [hippie] subcultures that preceded it, is identifiable by a particular fashion sense (in this case often straight, dyed black hair combed to one side to the point of being asymmetrical in appearance, also horn-rimmed or rectangular eyewear). Unlike the punk and hippie subcultures, at least, there are really no identifiable political or ideological concerns of the Emo subculture, and it is primarily defined by music purchasing habits and outward appearance. However, many members of the Emo subculture, often referred to as emo kids, are often seen as suicidal or suffering from other psychological problems, regardless of whether or not they actually are. 3) Archaically at least to some degree, "emo" is sometimes used to describe nearly all post-hardcore, particularly that which derives stylistically from the sounds pioneered by a number of bands from Washington DC and Maryland in the mid-to-late 1980s. It should be noted, though, that "emo" (then "emocore") was a derogatory term applied to the earliest of these bands by their detractors.

1) It is disputed by few that Jimmy Eat World and Braid are emo bands. 2) In some regions, the emo subculture is cause for moral panic. 3) Guy Picciotto, of pioneering post-hardcore groups Rites of Spring and Fugazi fame primarily, finds it upsetting that he is considered one of emo's founding fathers.

Okay. Apparently no one even knows what emo is anymore. So let me straighten that out for you. Emo is a genre of music. Yes music. It originated in the 80s with bands such as Gray Matter or Fire Party. There are several waves of emo. So no, Emo is not the kind of shit that you can find nowadays on any teenager dressed in black. It is not MCR. It is not FOB, and it is not Hawthorne Heights or Dashboard Confessionals either. The term emo has been mutated and twisted into something that anyone should be ashamed to call themselves. Since when is it allright to mutilate yourself so that you may appear "cool" or fit a certain stereotype. Whatever that is, it is not emo. The fact that emo is now a certain stereotype, makes me want to puke. No. What makes me want to puke is what being labeled as "emo" entails. It's sick. It's just sick.

I hardly think there is such thing as 'emo' anymore.

Black jeans, black hair and side finges have been previously worn by non "emo's" so therefore they have nothing to do with being emo. Example, the band The (International) Noise Conspiracy. Cutting yourself is not compuslry if you wish to be an "emo".

Kid 1: I havn't heard of that band... are they emo? Kid 2: No... actualy their not. More Punk/Alternative if you ask me. Kid1: But the lead singer has black hair? Kid2: And...? Kid1: Only Emo's have black hair. Kid2: So I'm guessing your mum's emo then.

E-mo Emo (or "emotional hardcore" 'e-mo') originated in the mid 1980's and has evolved in present day (2008) as a shadow of its former self. It was born in Washington (USA) as a subgenre of hardcore punk which overlaid typically aggressive, political, rebellious music with introverted and personal lyrics which was reflected the persona of the bands. Emo began its passage into mainstream music in the mid 1990s with the Indie movement which was exemplified by the likes of Fugazi. Emo then accelerated its progression away from its hardcore punk origins towards 'mainstream' pop culture. The genre upheld the introverted lyrics which distinguished it from the hardcore punk movement of the 80s, and replaced its thrashier, more aggressive tempo with a blend of 'mainstream ' pop-punk and soft-rock. Emo's hardcore roots are the central derivative of many post-hardcore (or current hardcore/metalcore/scream o etc) bands, which have taken the central hardcore thrash tone and introverted lyrics and combined them with metal, pop-punk and other 'mainstream' influences. *The term 'core has also undergone a similar passage where it has been adopted as a suffix for a musical or cultural icon associated with emotional hardcore (eg metalcore, fashioncore, emocore).

Rites of Spring, One Last Wish, Fire Party, Beefeater, Gray Matter,Moss Icon, Fugazi. 'Post emo' includes Good Charlotte, Funeral for a Friend, Sunny Day Real Estate, My Chemical Romance, Junction 18, Something Corporate.

There is no pure definition for emo kid. Hard to believe? Well, take this from someone who has a heart and a mind. Leave people who may fit this description the fuck alone. Not all people who "dress" or "look" like an emo is one. If we choose to look the way we do, that's just fine. Growing our hair out or wearing tight clothes, studs, stripes, scarves, what-the-fuck-ever doesn't mean we are trying to set a trend or be part of a group (UNLESS YOU ARE A [POSER]-WHICH CAN BE PICKED OUT VERY EASILY.) Our appearance is part of how we define ourselves and it's just based off of what we like. We all encounter a source of pain in our lives, regardless of how terrible or abusive it may be, but that doesn't mean that the people who are hurting look emo or act emo. Depression is not a joke and anyone is suseptible to it, even a bitchy little prep. All people have problems and make their own choices on how to deal with them.

I wear black, my hair is long and in my face, I can't leave the house without darkly lined eyes, my pants are deathly tight. How can you bill me for an emo kid when people in the 80's did the same thing? Does that make them emo as well?

Emo is someone who has a fringe that covers one of their eyes, wear a T-shirt with a logo, tight jeans and wears eyeliner. They often listen to bands like Lostprophets and My Chemical Romance. Many people think that they want to die, and that they cut themselves, cry in dark corners etc, but they DON'T\! Emo's are the nicest people that you can talk to. All of my friends are emo, and they do dress like an emo, and so do I but there is nothing wrong with them. Emo is also a genre of music.

Emo 1: Hey I just got the new Lostprophets album\! Emo 2: Oh they rock\! Friend of emos: Yeah I like them too. *chav walks by and laughs* Emo 1: Let em get on with it, we can look how we want. Emo 2: Yeah, we are *really* gonna go and cut and kill ourselves. Emo 1: Pff.... Life rocks\! Friend of emos: Yeah\!

(generally)middle-class bored teenagers who are morbidly attracted to concepts of misery, suffering and death and who wear black or dark coloured clothes to reflect their ethos that 'life is so very depressing when you think about it'. They often have pierced lips, dark makeup, and invariably have long hair, mostly straightened and black, covering part of their face, perhaps to aid their introspective tendencies. They try to stand out but ironically have formed a taxonomy of emos (who all look the same.) Male emos are often bisexual, or pertain to be,kissing each other, because it shows the extent of their perceived emotional scope. They listen to special emo music of which the lyrics concern self-hatred, complaints against the shallowness of other people etc. etc. However, there are varying degrees of emo-ness as some peole (semi-emos) like the dark dress sense, but can't be assed with the whole 'cut me now' syndrome, and these are emos a non-emo could probably have a conversation with.

A stupid trend. They think they are "alternative" (how is that possible when MTV stirred it all up?), when infact they are just as much sheeps as the preps. All emo kids look the same. They share the exact same values. They listen to the same horrible bands. Is that to be an individual? Is that unique? No. Many of them claim they are "non-conformists". These days, "non-conformist" has lost its true meaning and is just another synonym for poser. How does supporting major clothing lines such as Hot Topic make you a non-conformist? You are the antithesis of that. Wake up. The emo trend is like hair-metal; in a few years, you'll burn all pictures of yourself, being so ashamed that you had such an ugly haircut.

The new-wave emo movement is a testimony on how MTV (Manipulating Teenage Views) is able to pick up just about anything and mold it into a trend in order to make money, even if this results in mindless teenagers who can't think for themselves and destroying what's left of the real music scenes.

Goth: Word of advice: cutting yourself isn't gonna help your pitiful helpless pathetic and selfmutilated soul. Get a life...Oh, wait..You're already trying to be like me\! What a sick puppy\! 3) Emo: It isn't fair\! Why are all of those people talking to the Gothic girl and not me?\! Maybe if I cut myself, they'll all come over and try to help me quit bleeding. (Emo cuts itself, and yells for help, while standing 5 feet away from a group of people talking to the Goth girl........Nobody cares.......) 4) Fags who wear plastics bags to hide the lines beneath their sags. Hey that rhymes\! Cool....... Post Script: I'm a Goth, and I dress like a Redneck, prep, Goth, or whatever.

Emo is just a word. It loosely describes a group of people that are inspired by music, have an alternative dress sense but cannot be called Goths or Punks. Emo is a new sub-culture of fashion and being that draws influence from predecessors' best bits whilst retaining its individuality. Usually it's only parents that mistake an 'Emu' for a Goth. Emos are similar to punks in that they are not apologetic about dressing differently, although you're probably less likely to get headbutted for offending one. One aspect of Emo culture is the friendships between them and the way they appreciate one other. Whilst some peer groups condemn someone for daring to change or look different. Emo can be casual but bright; with contrasting colours and prints like a Nu-Punk Contrast, or can be darker, smarter and more sophisticated but with an elaborate edge. The people involved in it didn't wake up one morning and think 'I want to be an Emo'. Emo isn't any particular fashion trend; it can be everything and nothing - its an attitude. Taking risks isn't without its risks though, obviously, Emos are marked as targets of abuse for being different. Some people have to stereo-type things to understand them, others want to bring it down to its base level and others want to destroy what is different.

Stereotypical Emo - A person who wears skinny jeans, different shirts, and usually have black hair that is swept-ed across the face, or hair that covers or hovers over one of the eye.

Emo, as it is called, ranges from types of music to a slang word used to insult people. 'btw, that is very immature.' Music---- All throughout this area, you will find out where the genre got started. But this is a brief explanation for it. Back in the mid 80's, punk music had a branch off, or 'sub genre' in its group that came out. It came out as 'Emotional Hardcore'. Time has changed its meaning and stance in society. In, what i think was the mid 90's, it was a blend of Pop Punk and Indie Rock. In the early years of 2000, screamo became a subgenre of Emo Hardcore/Emocore, which also had become known as simply 'Emo'. The definition for this music is bipolar and hard to explain, it can range from anything anger, to sorrow, and even happiness. Lyrics that talk about crying in despair after a death in the family are Emo. The second lyrics do not leave the listener to wonder what is being expressed. The desert could be a reference to drying out from alcohol abuse or it could be a metaphor for death or bareness. Because there are different styles of Emo music such as emocore and screamo, what is Emo music is an ambiguous definition. Loosely defined, Emo music is music that is highly emotional and very straightforward in the expression of that emotion.(emo-corner) Emo in society------ Emo is normally used as an insult on someone who dresses in the ways listed below or who listens to 'emo' music. Its a stereotypical and a very misunderstood on the parts of the people who do insult someone in this way. They seem them as people who don't wanna deal with relativity or who like to bitch about how much their life sucks, when in all honesty they know nothing about what they honestly do or think. People who consider themselves emo, for a good part, usually are more connected with their emotions, or have a lots of emotional things that puts an intense amount of stress upon that person. An emo person is a person who usually just wants someone to understand them and has a lot of pain that goes on inside of them. Emos are usually the outcasts and rejects of scoiety, and are looked down upon because of the stereotypical outlook upon them. They are often loners, or are in a group of people who are more understanding of their circumstances then the rest of the population around them *which also explains why they tend to hang out with other emo people*. This group of people also is emotional connected to various forms of art, mostly which include music, poetry, and many forms of theater arts. Art *Music/Poetry* is the form of outlet for over-emotional people, and is the area in which they excel in. These people are also more or less accepting group in the typical high school groups, and are also the most made fun of, or beaten up on group. *in a lot of cases, the people who are considered book worms and even the people called geeks are treated better* Depression, death, and nostalgia are what most people that that emo people are feeling. But the part that most people miss is that emo people are often Bi-polar, or even manic-depressives. So, in saying that, i must also say the other most important thing to know. Emo people are not simply sad, they are also very enjoyable people, and have happy and anger feelings of their own. It is also stereotypical to think that emo people cut themselves to fit into the emo group. If they do, they are a poser. But a true emo person does not have to. If someone does cut them self for any reason, it has to do with an overwhelming feeling of sadness. But cutting them self, they feel they are taking away emotional pain, by covering it up with physical pain. But in actuality, when 'cutting' is being preformed, it releases Endorphins into the blood stream, which is a pain reliever of the body, and also release (analgesia), which gives a sense of 'well-being'. And the stereotypical idea that emo people simply want attention is completely ridiculous. If anything, they don't want people to come to them, they want to express who they are, and want someone to understand them. Emo Fashion-------- Emo is not only a classification or a type of music it's also taken over the way one expresses themself by dressing. It includes the tighter fiting pants to the dyed-black or dark hair with it covering your face. The longer hair in front with the spikes in the back is also a more Emo- or emotional look to dressing. For both genders, the same usually applies to both when it comes to hairstyle. Straight hair in the front with one large bag of hair in the face covering one of the eyes, and spiky and messed up in the back. Usually dyed black, but can also be dyed with darker colors like a midnight blue, or even a blood red. Its also common for it to be dyed in more then one color. But the difference in between the genders is more then simply color and tight clothing. It also has a lot to do with who you are, more then just what the scene calls for. Guys- From what i hear everywhere, its the usual thing. Tight jeans, tight and dark colored clothing of your favorite band, black eyeliner...etc....It can also include arm bands, arm warmers, Tripp pants, and even belts. Converse are also widely worn, but any skating shoes will do. There are many examples out there, so take a look for yourself, its more then i can help you with when styling. Girls- Again, its consists of tight clothing, usually black or in dark colors. Dark rimmed glasses *aka Harry Potter Glasses*, and fairly heavy eyeliner are also fairly common. Usually have bags that also have buttons with their favorite bands on them. Converse are *again* common, but and skate shoe will work. Knee high socks are often warn is an array of colors, but also leggings in an array of colors are also common. Dark skirts also can be worn and are a normal in this genre. True Fashion for a True Emo------------ The things listed above are what is the usual wear of a typical emo person, however there is one truth you need to know... ITS NOT TRUE\! None of that is required. Your style is how you want it to be. It can consist of colors and is not restricted to any form, its all about you. Your feelings are the most important thing about this. If you don't want to wear black, then don't. It might ruin your ok, or even good mood. If you don't like tight jeans, don't wear them. I don't wear them, its not a part of who i am. In what is its truest form, its you. I like Twilight, for example in this, and i wear my twilight tee shirt, and i even wear CAMO paints from time to time. Your never restricted to what it is.

In other words, Emo is not "i hate myself and want to cut myself or fit in. I'm going to go and kiss girls/guys like me, and write in my journal about how much my life sucks and go and put on my emo clothes and sit at the mall and cry and hope to get attention." Emo people are a people who love music and poetry, connect well with their emotions, have ways of expressing who they are, and have problems just like everyone else.

emo's are people how like to express their feelings through song or poetry.We dont hate the world, we just want to feel loved by others, we're just a little lonely, and confused, (thats perfectly normal, anyway, like, who here doesnt get lonely or confused about something?, i dont get why people see as as freaks\!) We're perfectly normal, we're just a bit more emotional than others.Not all emo's cut them selves, you dont need to cut yourself to become emo, yeah we do cut ourselves, but we seldomly do that, we just cut ourselves sometimes because it helps us feel something but again you really dont need too if you dont want to.Emo's are very affectionate, and actually very nice, we dont listen to music because its different and probably wierd to you haters, we listen to music because we can relate to it, because we could see the meaning in the lyrics.When emo's want something , we go for it, we dont care if others dont like it as long as we're happy with it. Emo's are not lowlifes who do nothing but lock their selves in their rooms and cry every night. we can have fun too, we can laugh and make jokes too, we have our own lives too\!Maybe if you haters get to know us better you'll probably like us alot.Being emo is my own way of expressing myself, and its my own way of solving my problems.Any way thanks for reading this and i hope it helps you understand a little more about emos... Oh, and almost forgot, EMOS DONT OVERREACT TO EVERYTHING\!OKAY? well see yah........ BYE;)

people who listen to emo music, even if they dont want to,just so they can get noticed-POSERS\! people who cut them selves excessively and display their scars to others-DEFINITLEY POSERS\! people who dont care what people say,as long as their happy, write emotional songs and poetry and cut themselves(rarely),NOT TO GET NOTICED, they just do it when they feel like it- now thats an Emo...EMOS DONT NEED OTHERS SYMPATHY, AND WE DEFINITLEY DONT WANT OTHERS TO PITTY ON US, so when some one tells you their emo just to get your attention that person is a M**********n' poser.

here are the MAIN steps to being an emo be Mad at youself for cutting yourself for being mad at yourself Always listen to gay annoying music and hang out with chicks and never ever sleep with any of them Insist on wearing makeup and flipping your neck even though there is so much grease in your died black hair that even wolverine claws would break if they came into contact with it Never get laid with women and Never ever wear any colors other than black unless its something gay like a scarf or girls belts that are never needed because you tight pants are already cutting of the circulation to you legs.

A word that, long ago, was used to define a genre of music which was 'emotive'. Now taken to be little girl scene kids who like to compete to be the most depressed and twisted. They have fucked up, ridiculous hair, wear a shitload of black eye make up and wear pants that are too tight. 'Emo' kids have stolen styles of clothes/footwear that used to be penned as normal. Converse, vaguely skinny jeans, eyeliner and thick rimmed glasses are now classed as 'emo'

The worlds biggest group of whiny emotional pinpricks that never shut up about how much their life sucks, then they drive away in their Benz with My Chemical Romance blaring and start wailing along to the music. The natural enemy of Metalheads, Goths and regular people. (Take into account that some emo chicks are hot and just dress as emo. if you see an emo chick, ask a question, and if the words, life, sucks, misery or unfair come up, then RUN LIKE A MOFO\!)

Emo is a genre of music. Emocore is a type of rock music, originating from [punk]. It often describes feelings of love, and sometimes sadness, which is why people always stereotype 'emo kids' as constantly being depressed. Emo does not mean emotional. It's true that this was the word used for the genre, but music besides emo can be emotional. An 'emo kid' is not an emotional person. Everybody has emotions, and people of any music taste and fashion style can be sensitive to emotions. Emo is not a person, or a type of person. At the very best, an 'emo kid' is someone who is a dedicated fan of emo bands. It has nothing to do with wearing [skinny jeans], bands shirts, tight sweaters, or thick-rimmed glasses. That's just a modern style that tons of kids (whether they like emocore or not) wear. YOU ARE NOT EMO IF YOU CUT YOURSELF. If you cut yourself, you have problems, no doubt. [Self-mutilation] is a symptom of bipolar disorder, chronic depression, and schizophrenia, along with many other mental conditions. Cutting yourself solves nothing. Some might think it helps, but it's just a useless coping mechanism that will only cause more problems in the long run. If you cut yourself for attention, you are pathetic. There are other, healthier, less painful, less idiotic ways to get attention than drawing your own blood. And as for all the people who think they know everything about emo kids, and that they're so very superior for making fun of them, you're full of bullshit. If you can't find anything better to do with your time, or at least anyone more guilty to make fun of, you are about as pathetic as those attention seekers who cut themselves to get bitched at by you.

Best case scenario 'emo kid': Smiling to my friend, I walked over and handed him an earbud so we could listen to our favourite band, Brand New. After we'd picked our song, I put my mp3 player back into the pocket of my baggy jeans and walked into school, talking to my friend. Worst case scenario poser 'emo kid': I shifted uncomfortably in my skinny jeans. They were way too tight, but I was pretty sure I saw some girls looking at me and giggling out of the corner of my eye. Maybe. I took out my iPod and turned up Dashboard Confessional as loud as it would go. As I saw what looked to me like fellow emos, I rolled up my sleeves inconspicuously to reveal a few cuts. They walked past quickly, not sparing me a second glance. Dejected, I turned my music back down in time to hear kids chanting none too quietly behind me" E is for emotional, ruins everybody's day. M is for miserable people. O is for on the dark side, 'cause we have some fresh cookies\! COOKIES\! "

A person usually an albino white kid with dark hair. They cry and complain about how life sucks but really they just need to smoke a joint once in a while. They wear tight jeans because they think everyone is gay like them and likes looking at their disgusting tight bodies. They wear tight shirts too because they are fucked up. They sometimes wear glasses, retarded shoes, and they listen to stupid bands like Coldplay and Slipknot. And then they got their whole ear pierce bullshit, and emo tatoos. Also if you want to be emo you need to follow a specific guideline. 1. Be an albino middle class white kid 2. Act all cool on a skateboard. 3. Be sad and bitchy all the time. 4. Have a small 2 inch dick. 5. Be a fucking faggot. 6. Worship Satan 7. Cut your wrists Follow those steps and you're an emo.

Josh: I cut my wrists last night. Nick: Nice, I was just jacking off to Slipknot vids and then I went boardin' on my sick deck. I can do a neat trick on my skateboard\! Josh: I can do sick tricks too. Nick: Yeah. Decks are sick. Tyler: My girlfriend dumped me and I cut my wrists. Josh: Oh my Satan\! Tyler: Yeah it's rough but im an emo punk so I can handle it with self mutilation. Nick: Let's go cut our wrists and suck eachother's dicks while watching Slipknot guys\! Josh,Tyler: YAY\!\!\!

Emo is a music sub-genre within rock that has been reduced to an over-populated fashion statement of a lack of identity and want of more meaning to a pathetic life. Contrary to popular emo-lover belief, emo did not start in the late eighties with the band Rites of Spring. It stands for “emotive punk” or “emotional punk” (note; emotive and emotional mean the same thing), the true founders actually being Sunny Day Realestate and the like. These bands were punk, but slowed their riffs and added some ‘meaningful’ lyrics, and actually tried to sing. If you listen to modern ‘emo’ it is more like fast riffs, lots of cymbal and lyrics drenched in gothic and depressing lyrics, popular spark words include; blood, heart, broken, my, I, you, love, pain, revenge, etc. Emo did not start with depressed angsty teens living in suburbia, it was just punk guys that had a sensitive side, they wore t-shirts and blue denim like the average guy, much like a diluted of version of grunge. This was early nineties and the hard riffs and fast drums were actually degenerative bands of hardcore, an entirely different genre starting in late eighties mainly through Refused and associates in Europe, as well as Rites of Spring which were a lot more 'rocky' than original emo. Nowadays there are no ‘true’ emo bands. Another thing, about the fashion statement emo's or even emo bands; they usually deny that they are emo. If they do accept that they're emo (mainly emo bands) their lyrics will be terribly ironic, such as the famous line below by Taking Back Sunday - who aren't emo. More hardcore or even punk rock.

A word that has a retardedly large number of definitions on UrbanDictionary, almost all of which are biased towards negative views of emos.

Person 1: Dude, what's an "emo" exactly? Person 2: I don't know, let's look it up on UrbanDictionary... Person 2: This one says it's a horrible person who cuts themselves, wears bad clothes, and listens to shitty music... Person 1: But this one says that it's people who are posers and just think girls will do them if they are more "in touch with their emotions"? Person 2: And then this one says that it's people who are just trying to fit into a group of dumb people who think they are non-conforming when they are really conforming to just another subculture of society... Person 1: And this one says they are just ridiculous pussies with small penises... And this one that says Emos are the one thing that every other group can agree on... hating them...? Person 2: This doesn't sound like something anyone would want to be... Where'd you hear this word again? Person 1: Some guy at school told me to stop being emo... Person 2: ...

Emo is a sensitive person who acts tough but is hurting inside. My chemical romance is goth not emo and emos cut themselves because they can't hurt and get rid of the problem causing them pain. The other definitions are retarded, take it from a real emo.

Depressed little bastards who sit together at lunch and don't talk or pay attention to anyone else. They spread rumors of attempting suicide and how the scars will never go away, yet when you see their wrists nothing is there. They usually have alcoholic parents who party every other night and let them do anything and anyone they want. Most emos are pregnant before age 20 at least twice. Emo is short for emotional. The reason is because of their retarded state of mind. They freak out at expected shit. Like when their mate uses them for sexual pleasure they know yet let it happen. They also enjoy telling you all about their new black clothing that is probably on discount at Wal-mart for a $1. They complain about life, fail classes, have sex among themselves, and enjoy screamo music, and everytime they find new music they claim they discovered it.

People become emo for different reasons. 1. Because they are depressed and need something to make them feel happier about themselves by conforming to a group of people that feel the same way. 2. Because they like the clothing or music and to fit in change other things to make themselves fit in to be proper emo. 3. Because they want an identity and emo is the easyest group to join. I would be intrested to know if theres any other reason someone would want to become emo. Emos try to say that they are not emo and just being themself. But themself just happens to be the exact description of emo and that doesn't happen unless you make it happen. Emos wear tight t-shirts, black skinny jeans, converse or vans they have black dyed hair which if is not perfectly straight it is straightened untill it is. They try to be hardcore but just look like twats doing there hxc dancing to there shitty emo music. Just type in hxc to youtube for an example. There are band out there that are not emo and are doing [hardcore] and [punk] much better than them eg gallows. Emos stole alot of things from indie and metal and make it much much worse than the original.

ok emo doesn't mean you cut yourself. although alot of emos do. it started off as a type of emotional hardcore music and turned into a style.

most emos wear hair over their face, tight pants, chucks or vans, and eyeliner. i used to be emo and depressed after i started listening to AFI. emo is sort of in between goth and punk, and sometimes scene. it's simply a type of style, but now when a person goes and says "oh i think i want to be emo" they start acting depressed, cause thats what everyone says emo is. it's a style dude.

Emo tends to define a depressed teenager that is constantly cutting themselves and crying. Granted its true for about half the population of emos in the world but the other doesn't cut themselves and only cry when they are sad. The do not always wear square or horned rimmed glasses, tight jeans, tight sweaters, and scarves. Alot of emos don't even have black hair. The emo kids are usually the nice kid that sits in the back of the class minding his/her own business and is therefore called emo because he/she is not popular or well known. The music they listen to is not all about whimpy boys and their shitty lives, alot is about being in love and just having people around you that you can trust. An emo kid is usually one that has had alot of bad shit happen to them in their entire life and always keep getting hurt(emotionally not physically). Alot of the so called emo kids that take the anit-depressants, complain alot, and cut themselves are usually kids that come from a middle class family and they think that their life is not good enough. The actual emo kids usually come from poverty and has had several really bad things happening to them for some time. People get you story straight, talk to a real emo kid, and stop hating one us just because we are different from you.

Fake emo kid: dude my life is so lame, my dad won't let me go get the car i want. Real emo kid: dude at least your family can afford a car. get over it, i don't even have a car but i enjoy walking every where. Fake emo kid:dude i can't walk every where, i would get too tired.

Firstly let me tell you that [Emo] is nothing like [Goth]\! People say its a cheap impression, its not really that either, its more influenced by goth. Stereotypically, Emo's are [depressed], wear clothes that are many sizes too small and listen to shit music. In reality, anyone can be depressed, skinny jeans or [drainpipes] have been in fashion before and are worn by [chavs], [Metallers], [Goths], e.c.t and saying the music is shit is just an opinion and im sure many people think that about your favourite band too. Many of my friends are Emo's and there more lively and Energetic than me\! They are fun people who also make great friends. Alot of people self harm and alot are not emo's. Its silly little poser 12 year olds that have given emo's a bad name. They think that to be cool you have to be noticed and so cut themselves and make up disorders.

A subculture common to kids born post 1987 who want to identify as a 'punk' but have little knowledge of the origins of the word 'punk'. More than likely they grew up listening to other soft music like the Backstreet Boys and Christina Aguilera, but realised when they reached high school that this was no longer cool. So they start listening to bands like My Chemical Romance and Panic at the Disco or Jared Leto's band because they feel morose and suicidal and that their lives are not worth living. They then start dying their hair black and wearing 1990's punk clothing (skate shoes, heavy chain belts etc) usually consisting of black, red or white. They see themselves as being 'goths' because boys apply eye makeup reminiscent of Robert Smith from the Cure, but highly unlikely whether they actually know who this is. They believe they are being 'alternative' and 'edgy' however they are overwhelmingly conformist as they all look the same, dress the same and listen to extremely soft core, pansy, fluffy pop music disguised as 'punk'.

emo simply means "emotional". Most people believe it is the type of clothing worn by people (usually teens). But in reality it is just a shortened word for emotional. People who wear "Hollister" and "Abercrombie" can be emo as well. The whole tight genes on guys and dyed hair is actually the scene.

An emo would be someone who cries about every misfortune that falls upon them.

The term Emo is now non existant. There was a time when if you wore womens clothes and acted as if you were on a period other people would laugh at you. Attention seekers saw this as a way to get attention and joined in wearing black and talking about how sensative they are and which films they cried at at the weekend. They also spend a lot of their time in town gathering like dirty vampires. Naturally like sheep people have just followed the fashion and now most people are 'Emos' or they think they are. At the start if you were an emo you were trying to be different and personally all I see is a bunch of zombies that look and dress the same. Being an Emo is no longer how you are, it is just fashion.

You know it's kind of stupid and sad to see the definition of emo written about by people who not only dont like/listen to the music but dont have a clue what it is and are just writing their definitions to be funny or mock. So,to those,please get a life because to do that you abviously dont have one. Anyway moving swiftly on. The term Emo was coined from bands in the 80's that had a strong punk influence but didnt appeal as much to the violent aspect of the genre and so inturn Emo was created. It started with bands like moss icon,fugazi and teen idles and then as it progressed it turned softer with bands like sunny day real estate,braid and the get up kids. The style of emo kids back then was converse all star high tops,messenger bags with pins on the straps,gas station jackets,argyle sweater vests,thick rimmed glasses, short messy greasy black hair.Most clothes woud have been baught from a thrift store. Thats a general short description of the now dead sub culture but if you want to know more then i suggest looking at "fourfa.com"

Emo : Slang for Emotional, An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. It is a prime determinant of the sense of subjective well-being and appears to play a central role in many human activities. As a result of this generality, the subject has been explored in many, if not all of the human sciences and art forms. There is much controversy concerning how emotions are defined and classified.

A subculture which started out as a music genre with influences from the punk/alternative scene of Washington D.C. in the late 1980s. In recent years, it has expanded to become an entire subculture. Originally, followers of the emo subculture were kids who didn't fit into the mainstream and considered themselves to be non-conformists. Sadly, however, the emo label has become so popular that nowadays most emos are kids who grew up living life exactly the same as every other fucking kid, and now they have decided to go emo, simply because it is what every other kid is doing. However, some emo kids are those who turned emo before it became the mainstream, and these are the true non-conformists.

True non-conformist free-thinking emo kid: Oh, look, you're reading trainspotting\! I love Irvine Welsh\! Mindless conformist 'emo' kid: What the fuck you faggot. Reading's for gays and pussies. Go watch wrestling like evryone else.

History: Emo originates from Punk bands in DC with an "emotional moment" and evovled into a full culture. Emo Music Old and Original: Dashboard Confessional, Embrace, Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real-Estate Fashion Emo fashion consists of tight jeans of blue and gray. Dyed black hair and sometimes with highlights of neon color. Beaten up converse shoes. Lip piercings. Eyeliner. Thick-rimmed glasses. Truths and False Myth: Emos are cutters Truth: Seriously? Wow. Cutting has been around before emo existed. "Preppies" can cut, adults can cut. Cutting is a serious problem as bad as alcholism and drug abuse, but cutting is not emo, and not all emos cut. If you cut, go get help. Myth: Emos are fags Truth: Emos now a days are mostly teens, and apart of the teenage years, its a time of discovery, inluding sexuality discovery. But not all emos are bi-curious. Myth: Emos are bitchy and emotional Truth: It may be so sometimes, but emo people are usually more introspective and sensitive, some could be angsty and depressed all the time, but its never right to judge a group based on one person's personality. Modern Now a days, emo has been attacked several times. The truth is, many kids who are "emo" now a days are just looking for an excuse to be a bitch and asshole. Cutters are often labeled emos, and that is not what emo stands for. A new breed called scene kids emerged. Emos and scene kids are very different. Emos are introspective, and sensitive, scene kids are myspace and mainstreamers with a lolita element. Emo Terms and Interest Converse shoes: Even if its mainstream, its so emo. Poetry: Teenagers rejoice\! Emos often express themselves through music and poetry. Guitar: An emos best friend. jk Conclusion Emo is about being introspective and open to the world of teenage age. Its not about being sad or being a cutter.

An emo goes to a thrift store A scene kid goes to hot topic An emo has a bad day, and writes something A scene kid bitches on myspace

emo is just a shortened word for emotion if you are an emotional person you could call yourself an emo. but those emo-extremists who go around slitting their wrists and talking like the world hates them. i wouldn't call them emos. id call them attention seekers. they need to get a life.

dude1: so what ya do today? dude2: i hate the world.. *cut cut cut* dude1: dude, ur such an attention seeker... dude2: im emo. dude1: whatever u say. if ur so emo, go be emotional about saving the planet, freak.

soft-edge, acoustic alternative music with emotive (usually male) vocals, modern chord patterns, and lyrics shot through with the eternal themes of love and loss in endless variation. Genre originated by David Gates and Bread in the late 1960's (exs.: "If", "Diary", "Baby, I'm A Want You") but known then as "soft rock."

Oooh, that song is sooo emo - it could be, like, you know.. the theme for prom this year\!

What you can claim to be if you have a photo of yourself frowning, while your hair is in your face. This transcends race, class, creed, city, state, country, planet, gender, social status, musical tastes, elevation, religion, clothing choices, sexual orientation, internet connection, political affiliation, and whether your belly button is an "innie" or "outie"(innies are slightly more emo, though).

Me: Hey, check out that emo guy. Jeff\!: Uh, no, wrong. He’s smiling. And also, tragically, sporting a [mullet]. Therefore, you fail. Me: He... he's a reverse-emo, then. He's "ome". Jeff\!: Backward hair isn't backward vocabulary, you uncompromising bastard. Me: Sigh.

in my opinion emo is a new life style but not as hardcore and pathatic like goth. there are happy emo too. generally emo is people affected by love. maybe they are dumped, their soulmates died, or they felt really lonely. emo is some kind of a way to express their feelings with theme colour of black, red and white. somtimes they just want to share their feelings..or maybe they even come from a broken family background.

he is an emo boy, yet he enjoys life.

Emo is a terrible chain reaction that infects people all around the world. It starts of with someone in a mid-high class suburban society that is bored, and gets little attention. They figure; "If I become different, people will notice me." So, they start exaggerating their emotions, mostly sadness, which seems to grip most people. Eventually, they will start showing all of the symptoms of an emo. In most cases, they will by a black book, in which they draw sad pictures and write sad poetry in. Then, they will comb their hair as straight as possible, in order to achieve minimum eye contact. And finally, they will start wearing black clothing (preferably with stripes or with band pins), pierce random spots on their face and (in severe cases) start cutting their wrists. Eventually, other people notice, and some join this crowd. Almost all the people that become emo, never change. No one knows what happens to them after college either. They somehow disapear in their own imaginary sadness. *sniff*

I am an emo, someone help me... I feel like I am in a pit of never ending sadness and no one cares. PLEASE\! Someone notice me... *cries*

A word that people who have no idea what the hell they are talking about use to describe music that is different or they do not understand. Mostly used when the members of the band wear facepaint, black, or sing love songs, or perhaps any combination of the above.

As seen on YouTube comments for a Dimmu Borgir video: randomguy: this shit is so emo\! emo fags\! randomguy2: it is metal you dumbshit\! if youre gonna make fun of something at least know what the f*** youre talkin about.

well i never thought i would be here writing a definiton about emo but i have heard (and read) a lot of shit about emos.i myself am emo so please feel free to call me a fag i dont really care i have more important things to do than worry about what you ppl think. So to claer things up, emo: does not mean being gay or bi wearing black and cutting oneself listening to dashboard confessional or taking back sunday.being emo isnt being depressed or angry all the time like some of these deffinitions have led you to belive. now,the true emo: is over emo-tional so yes emos can be happy sad angry or surprised and have feelings just like any other human being.they listen to rock bands,and sometimes goth bands in other words very loud music and they also listen to sad songs. emos usually find themselves to befriend other emos [goth]s [punk]s or [skater]s and some [preps] and [ghetto] kids.they r very creative and usually quiet (unless happy then the get a little loud) they mostly dont care what ppl think about them but when teased or bothered they will remain calm and silent.they mostly dress in dark cloths but also wear colorful cloths too.emos r very nice and r usually good students and get good grades. i cant say all emos dont cut but the ones who do mostly have a good reason to.

*emo girl* hey guys\!* sits down* *everyone* hi\! *emo boy* *sits next to emo girl* hey do you have the notes from science class? *emo girl* yea here *hand notebook to emo boy* *emo boy* i think you gave me the wrong notebook but nice draings by the way. *emo gir* opps thank you *hands emo boy correct notebook* *emo boy*hey wanna have lunch together so i can show you some of my drawings? *emo girl* sure id love to have lunch with you.

A style of dress and music adapted generally by white teenagers of the U.S and U.K. Used by many people(many of the definitions on this topic being evidence of this)as something to hate and bitch about with little justification. The dress style includes drain pipe trousers, black hair with a long fringe swept to the side, sripes, the colour black, also the colour white but only when combined with black. Many talented band are hated because of there emoness examples including My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, Fall Out Boy etc. Emo stereotypes include heavy depression, self harm and self obsession. In the majority of cases these accusations are false

Come on people, give em a chance. Dont hate what you dont love, emo

the steryotype of an emo kid is a sad kid who cries and wears tight pants, has a myspace with many friends, have been known to cut themselves, many arent true emos and are only following a trend (why I do not know) have a hair bang longer on 1 side of their face, thick rimmed glasses, related to the scene kid, a more glammish emo kid like comparing black metal to hair metal. a few things should be noted about this subculture: 1. Many of the true emos are not that bad are usually good looking, do not consider themselves emo, do not try to be emo or focus on being emo, In fact if they hear the word emo used in a durragatory or general way or are reffered to in any way as emo may lash out either verbally or even physically (the original emo kid really isnt that emo) may listen to emo and probably alot more. If they do have the stereotypical emo haircut pants and overall look many fashion designers will probably agree that their style looks good, especially compared to its ancestral punk fashion. 2. the trendy kids who cut themselves, purposefully embrace the emo stereotypes, post millions of myspace pictures and put the caption "emo" are false emos in a sense and true emos in another sense, in the first sense they are the false emos in that they did not start the scene and do not truly feel passionate about their scene, in the second they are true emos in that they are the over dramatic exadurated problem inventing stereotypical kids that are constantly (and for good reason) harrased for their emosity, this creature is your enemy, destroy him and all thats left is the true emo kid who in actuallity is not that emo (confusing?) 3. Many emo styles are simply a more mild form of punk, and it should be noted that the punk's (or at least the true punk) plight is alot like the true emo, they are both trying to be themselves and both were labled what they are, as a small child you would probably think of a bad meanie trouble maker or a coward when you heard the word punk, so it is safe to assume that the label punk was not self generated and used duragatorily, but the difference between the emo and the punk (the true or original ones) is what makes the emos emos and the punks punks, the emos wanted to be different but also not really on the radar and were relatively modest in their rebellion and just simply were annoyed by the word emo or emotional, the punk would probably have heard himself being called punk and maybe laughed, maybe told all his friend hed been called a punk, begun to label himself as a punk as a joke as an insult to the person who had labled that person a punk, might have shouted that he is a punk somewhere and acted as rebelious and loud and as much a trouble maker as he could to piss off that man or woman who called him a punk as a retaliation, which would have infuriated that person thoroughly. 4. An emo kid is not what many of the pictures on this urban dictionary are, just because a person is sad doesnt mean theyre emo, it means theyre sad, dont be stupid, just because a person cut themselves doesnt mean theyre emo they might be emo but they oculd also be some gothic wierdo or a commited actor or maybe just some kid who likes cutting himself or perhaps a vampire whos really hungry and doesnt feel like killing someone else, cutting is also a sypmtom of depression, most of the people who make fun of depressed people for being "emo" would be extremely "emo" if they had the same depression and would most likely kill themself as fast as they could in the least painful way, this kid would go by another title, this title is: pussy 5. The emo kids fashion is something that really shouldnt be made fun of and it is sad that it has become a symbol of weakness and sorrow, tight pants have long been a theme of punk music and hair metal, the one sided bang poofyness and straight hairstyle of the "emo" kid is also inherited from hair metal and many of the rebelious type of kids during the 80's would be considered to have the emo style if they had lived as they did during the 80s today especially if they had made their look slightly more modest. The New wave scene is the contemporary scene to the emo scene of today, both are rebelious and yet seem to conform and be modest at the same time yet the new wave scene was happier and the emo scene is seen as being sad. When you see someone who fits the "emo"profile, dont immediately judge them, at least observe their actions a bit before condeming them to be "emo" 6. Today most emo bands like MCR or Hawthorne heights fallout boy and taking back sunday have more preppy punk or other kinds of listeners rather than emo listeners, if emo kids were the majority of people buying any type of music that band could not afford to stay in the public eye and probably not in the music buisness at all. Most punk bands today are in actuallity much more like the stereo type of emo and area a softened version of punk, original punk was much more aggresive angry rebelious loud and reckless passionate and personal and alot less trendy commercialized "artistic" publicized on mtv, on most played songs on radio stations like blink 182 greenday the living end NRS and such, original punk has evolved into the lighter forms of metal which are loud rebelious reckless angry and often personal and passionate and not at all about getting in the public eye and earning popularity which might be the goal of pop rock pop punk bands like ashly simpson or avril lavigne (ashly simpsons song name should be changed from pieces of me to pieces of shit) examples of the lighter metal bands which are much more like punk than todays punk is are dope, Mindless self indulgence, Mushroomhead, orgy, rammstein, sevendust. if you have read that entire definition I am both sorry for you and proud of you

A sub-genre of rock music closely related to punk. Other sub-genre's similar or easily mistanken to be emo could be Post-Hardcore or Pop-Punk. Emo (or "Emo Kids") also refers to people who listen to emo, (usually teenagers). The common stereotype with emo's are that they are deppressed, bisexual, fake, self loathing, dark, sensitive, and extremely associated with self harm. This is not always the case. Yes, some emo's are deppressed, but not all of them. Some are bisexual, others arent. etc, etc, etc... Those stereotypes can apply to other sub cultures, not just emo. There is a large number of emo kids that arent like that. There are quite a lot of happy, confident emo's.

Emo bands: My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional.

why cant you lot just stop talking about stuff you dont understand why cant people see that everyone is different. Believe it or not some people dress like this because they want to and most of us do have really tough lives and aren't well off but we dont complain about it we just keep ourselves to ourselves and deal with it in our own way when do you see an emo spit in the street or kick a can or yell abuse at you or graffiti everywhere unlike some people i could mention.Let me ask you a question could any of you lot hold a blade to your skin and cut it at will you couldnt,so just think about how much pain you'd have to be in to do some thing like that.

we dont do anything to upset you so why upset us and look down on us like your better and too intelligent to feel emotions and cry.Believe it or not theres this organ in the human body called a heart why dont you use it.

Caused by a traumatic event or a series of traumatic events leading upto or during social interaction, causing blood clots in the wrist, suicidal tendancies, loss in fashion sense, need to express femanine side too often, a need to voice there emotions using other mediums such as art, music,poems (Which usually have no structure, and have no meaning or purpose) ,or other methods which include dropping into subtle conversation, and by conversing, they can drop hints of their emotional experiances. The blood clotting, explains why emo's find the need to extract of blood from around the wrist area, and find it quite natural to do this themselves, using their moms best kitchenware, *hint. dont eat with a knife at an emo's house, unless it has been steralised*

An example of subtle hint dropping is: Guy number 1: "Hey John, you will never guess what, my goldfish died to day" John: "O Thats to bad, kinda like how my will to live died last month...." *awkward silence* Guy Number 1: "damn your so EMO\!"

although you say that "emo" isn't a term that means "tight pants, sidebangs and diluted, meaningless metaphores" etc, surely if people commonly use the word "emo" to describe all that shit, then the word "emo" really does mean "tight pants, sidebangs and diluted, meaningless metaphores" because that is how it has come to be interpreted. That's called ETYMOLOGY, dumbass, and it's precisely what this site is designed for\!

A depressing music which gathers attention of would-be-goths and the hatred of wannabe skaters. To waste time to segregate people by their way of thinking. To say someone is Emo or say you are Emo is overall pointless. The reason people think that Emo is so bad is because television, though being entertaining, stops us from having feelings. And we make fun of people who do have feelings calling them "Over-Emotional" when we in fact are "Emotionless".

Hey Dude, that guy is Emo he must kiss guys and cut his wrists lets beat him up with our skateboards and suffocate him with our egos.

a depressing poet philosopher and song writer, this group of often teenage people, sit round in circles and get drunk. when bored at home, we get depressed, and come up with grudges against people, but rather than hurting that person we hurt ourselves. we even have our own style of music, witch is always emotional and some say (me) origionates from the 80's style music. the brief definition is emotional punk rocker.

An emo is generally a small person sporting very tight, often striped clothing and who wear eyeliner . . even the males. Now it may be just may but the only half talented people to wear eyeliner to my knowledge have been Alice Cooper and Kirk Hammett whereas these emo fuckwits just like queer. Alleged self-confessed self-harming is often used as a cunning plan to make them seem more interesting and to gain sympathy. Surely everyone must have realised that they are just attention seeking bastards who need to be dealt with by a good, hard slap across the back of the head or in more extreme cases, sandpapering their faces off. Then they'd definitely have to stop. It is in my opinion that people such as Gerard Way and Ville Valo are responsible for the horde of pussies that are slowly engulfing the country seeing as they are totally gay, whiny and just ridiculously annoying. Also, since when did it become a good thing to be an emo? Personally, I do not refer to them as emo. I prefer the term [faggoth] as it describes them perfectly, a faggot goth. I also wonder why they think it's a good look to appear as if they are slowly dying.

Me: You're a faggoth Emo: OMFG LIKE, OMG, THAT'S SO HARSH Me: Good Emo: (Runs away, cries, scratches self, attention seeks) Me: Hahaha, what a gay.

Emo is something that a lot of people hate and god knows why. There's nothing wrong with it and people need to grow up. Quit putting emo and gothic in the same category they are completely different. I think people should know everything about something if they are going to hate it, I mean what's the point in hating something you know nothing about? So get a life, get off emo's case and worry about something worth while, and if you continue to dwell on it, then go have a cry about it and become what you people assume to be emo.

(EA-moh), noun. 1) A subculture consisting of mostly suburban and small town upper-middle class teenagers who don't have any admirable qualities whatsoever, so rather than learn how to do something worthwhile, they try to pawn off being a whiney insecure little bitch as being cool. 2) As above, but alternately a whiney upper-middle class teenager who has never once had a really worrisome problem in their life, so they blow all their tiny little gripes WAY out of proportion in order to try and seem more normal. 3) A whiney, pathologically lying upper-middle class teenager who makes up fake problems to try and horde attention from would-be sympathizers. 4) Someone who for some sick reason idolizes whiney insecure upper-middle class teenagers, and attempts to be like them even though they are not. Some of these have even had a real problem here or there, which they make a point to dwell on as if it was the end of the world. 5) Someone who attempts to recategorize decent music from the past to a new category, in hopes of somehow ligitimizing their bullshit "subculture". 6) A ska kid who stopped taking their happy pills; or a scenehopping ska poser who "never liked ska dude, ska sucks.", because they aren't cool enough to have a real personality of their own. 7) A melodramatic upper-middle class teenager who falsely believes that anyone will in fact give a damn if they kill themselves, but is too much of a chickenshit to actually go through with it, so instead they turn it into a fashion statement. 8) A very horny, desperate teenage guy who thinks acting like a chick will get chicks, but gets pulled too far in to escape before they realize that chicks that dig guys dig confident guys, not insecure girlish guys. Insecure girlish guys are the ones they tell their problems to because they don't have to worry about getting hit on by them.

First of all, all of this crap out today like Dashboard Confessional and TaKiNg BacK SuNdaY lyk OMG\!\!\!\!\!\! is NOT emo. MTV just decided to call it that because calling it pop music wasn't "punk rawk" enough. Emo does not stand for "emotional." It stands for Emotive Hardcore, and had it's beginnings in the DC hardcore scene in the early 80's. This website \>\>\>http://www.fourfa.com) explains it all rather nicely, for the most part. REAL Emo was never about being "scene" wearing tight sweaters and eyeliner, or acting like a pussy, it was about the music. But the Emo scene died in the mid 90's, and it should RIP, not be dragged up and slapped on all of these shitty bands as a label.

Alright let me get this straight for all you self-rightious jerks who think you know what I am when you really don't. EMOS ARE NOT ALWAY DEPRESSED\! I am emo (and so are most of my freinds) and we are always happy and having fun. EMOS DO NOT ALL HATE THEIR LIVES\! I happen to like my life and for those few that actually do hate them you insensitive preps should leave them alone NOT ALL EMOS CUT THEMSELVES\! That is but a steryo type. Although some might cut, you don't have to cut to be emo and you don't have to be emo to cut. You don't know what people go through and cutting is a way to forget the pain so don't tease them for it The true definition of emo (in my opinion) is someone who is different. Who stands out in the crowd because they are truely amazing and others are just to obcessed with fitting in and being popular. Emo is someone who has an awesome sense of style without shopping at A&E or other name brands (except maybe hot topic) and who wear alot of (but not all) black becuase it goes well with neon colors. It is some one who doesn't fit in and doesn't want to becuase popular people are people like you who steryotype and call us stupid when they don't even know us. Most of all, Emo is someone who puts up with all the crap the "in crowd" gives us and yet we still want to be oursevles: completely insane and epic\! :)

Jerk: omg what's your problem you stupid emo\! Did you forget to cut yourself yesterday becuase you were to busy wallowing in self pity? Me: *takes a pair of scissors and points them at him* why don't you shut up and stop styreo typing people, retard\!

A genre of music meaning "Emotional" that has recently turned into a style. The style consists of darker colors, band tees, razored, straight hairstyles, heavy eyeliner, converse/vans/osiris' and ripped jeans. A teenager labeled "emo" is not the same as one labeled "scene." Scene is a brightly colored- teased hair- 80's sort of style. Cutting is a common misconception of the emo style. Cutting comes along with depression, not a style. There are those who cut for attention or think they have to in order to be emo (which is not true.) It is considered offensive to those who cut for medical reasons when it's made fun of relating to emo kids. The music listened to by a typical emo kid is usually metal-/death-/crabcore, "screamo," post-hardcore and punk rock. It's not uncommon to find cute bands and singers like Stephen Jerzak or Owl City scattered between the metal bands on their iPods, and maybe even some Kid Cudi or Lil Wayne.

*First guy* Haha\! Look at those Emo fags. Their probably cutting themselves under that BMTH hoodie. *Second, smarter guy* Dude, no. Shut up. You've got no idea what you're talking about.

Also some one, who might be wearing even one item of black/dark clothing, (doesn't matter if it is only shoes or sunglasses) or some one with dark hair (hold on a second your asian so your hair is naturally black?- doesn't matter). Basically something derogatory to call some one who doesn't fit in, in order to ostracize them further. Synonymous with Jew, nigger, faggot, etc.

So obviously a lot of people don't know what the hell they are talking about, even the antagonist in this story, Chelsea, who thought she had hit the nail on the head. While she did list and site some ACTUAL emo bands, she also completely missed mentioning the one TRUE emotive hardcore band, who originally described their music in such a manner leading way to the entire, misrepresented and misinterpreted genre. That band would be Alkaline Trio. They truely "spear-headed" the genre. So Chelsea, you were close but you got your facts from the wrong source evidently. And for the most part, while undeniably humorous, the rest of you are retards. Good day.

Alkaline Trio founded emo, and they aren't proud of the associations made with it currently.

Typically individuals that have long, black hair that covers at least their eye, wear band t-shirts of their favorite emo band, wear studded belts on their tight pants, which makes no sense. In my opinion, the emo scene has taken what hard rock and metal had before the emo scene arose. I think that all emo guys should have their balls ripped off and stappled to their tight ass jeans. And I can say this cause all emo guys tend to do is argue and use "fuck" a lot. They never back up their talk and are too sad to do anything anyways

sure there are some "emo" people who do fit the big crying, slitting wrists all depressing stereotype. but that doesn't mean everyone is like that, and they shouldn't be paid out for it even if they are. its just the label that is given to people who "look the part". also these days people don't fit into one specfic category, they can be a bit of this and that and why should anyone tell them what they can and cant do. i admit there are some posers who just try to look like whatever is in at the time [scenesters] just to be cool, but you dont always know the difference between the actual ones, and the fake ones. did u ever think people look and dress and act the way they do because they like it? not just because others think its the cool thing. people can look however they want to look, and most of them dont care if you dont like it, and probably dont like what you wear either. and you cant just be all like "well what i believe in is the best, and if you dont like (emo/indie/hardcore/thrash/techno/rnb/whatever) it means i dont like you and your just a fag loser" what kind of mindset is that? everyone should just get over their differences and stop judging people, you may find you have something in common. its not like you have to agree, but dont have such a closed mind and dont judge people so quickly if you dont actually know them

p1: jeez look at that faggy emo kid over there, bet he cries himself to sleep everynight p2:well there actually a really nice person. i work with them, they're funny. p1: but there emo, and they are all fags p2: your a fucken idiot p3: jeez, bree is different these days, shes all emo and gross p4: pretty sure shes the same person she's always been. but you wouldnt know that coz your a douche bag who stopped talking to her because she started dressing differently

I consider myself a true emo. I myself, unlike all you narrow-minded idiots can appreciate the true definition\! I believe a true emo is one who doesn't uphold the stereotypical image or even anything else. Like most things it comes from the music. If "emo" was taken as literally as it is, then fucking everything and anyone is an emo\! Emo in it's truest sense comes from the emotive hardcore music. I am about the music. So stop generalizing and being so narrow-minded, we are all individuals. (Maybe except the conformists of the sub-cultures.)

An emo is a person who falls in love with someone he or she hardly knows and when said person does not return the feeling, he or she will fall into a state of extreme depression or "emoness". When in this state the person will be utterly convinced that they have the worst life of all time. Forgetting of course about third world country’s. These emo’s sometimes dress in distinctive black clothing and wear way too much makeup. They also tend to have reeeeally dirty hair. Some emo’s will appear as perfectly sane people and will be pleasant to be around. Until they talk about how sad they are. Some people are just sad. The emo sad can be singled out. You will know emo sad when you suddenly want to kill the person because they won’t shut up and stop whining.

That emo could use a slap in the face.

A subculture that borrows heavily from punk, goth and metal. Lacking the interest to actually delve any deeper than fashion and body language the subculture is shallow and empty of ideological substance, cultural history, and original creativity. Popular media and urban folklore attribute the name, "emo" to the word, "emotion" or "emotive." Both incorrect. In the 1980's when this subculture was emerging the response to the appearance and behavior was compared to the comedian, Emo Phillips. The reference caught on, unfortunately the definition never caught up. Punks were the originators of the "emo" reference, which was quickly accepted by goths, metal heads and all tribes hardcore. It is hard to accept that a bunch of punks would have selected the term, "emotional" or "emotive" to insult a group of softcore punks. The truth is that the idiotic humor practiced by the comedian and his idiotic appearance were the inspiration for the insult.

I HATE YOU\!" and retreats to their rooms for the rest of the day to cry and moan about, the lies the government cover over and how everyone picks on them because they are different, but how are they different if all emos dress the same\!

Emo was a genre of music that developed out of the failing straight edge movement, especially in the DC area when bands such as Minor Threat and Bad Brains began to lose popularity. These bands decided to take the energy of punk rock but without the anger, creating emo. Bands include: rites of spring, indian summer, some fugazi, ect. During emos height (84-87), it was generally very emotional, fast, and powerful music. Eventually, it became influenced by pop (much like punk) and is what it is today. It has also become a term to describe someone who is depressed and overly emotional, generally for attention.

I was wondering how Rites of Spring and My Chemical Romance are both labeled Emo and are completely different.

Emo is a complex beast. It came from the late 80s in the form of Rites of Spring, and slowly changed. From there it became Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World, The Get Up Kids, and Cap'n Jazz. But as the remaining ones of these bands slowly changed the style of their music, they were still associated with the term and bands that were like them got the name. Fall Out Boy could be considered emo because of the fact that Pete Wentz admitted something along the lines of if there wasn't The Get Up Kids, there would be no Fall Out Boy. But The Get Up Kids still are not anything like old, decent emo. It's just that genres change, they move on. But now people who listen to this new MTV emo adopted a fake personality. Make up, crying, pretending to be deep, wallowing in pain and crying because no one accepts them. They're annoying and fake. They are what most people call emo now, and they tainted the good name of Rites of Spring.

Emo. "Emotional" "Emotive" Or whatever you want to call it, is a genre of music which started in the early 80's (Yes 80's) with first wave and new wave. Now it is a genre of music which incorporates sounds from punk, goth rock, pop rock, first wave, new wave, and even grunge rock. All music is emotional but this is the only type of music with its own genre called "emo" And like in most music genres a cult following backs it, creating a "scene" of people. The "Emo Scene" incorporates the dark clothes of goth with a new wave hairstyle with punk accessories. The "Emokids" all don't act the same, they don't all dress the same, they don't all mope and cry about their lives. Only the posers do that. Same with the whole cutting part, its not cool. Razor blades may be a fun thing to cut.. Like.. Paper and stuff with, but not yourself. So, please, don't cut yourself.

"OH\! Life is so hard\!" -Cuts- "I'm so emo and sensitive" -Some dude walks by.- "You have issues." -Kicks- "I know, black is my heart, AH\! FUCK THIS LIFE." "You wouldn't kill yourself, even if your whole family died, stop being an attention whore."

Ok, emo guys gay thing \#1. To pansy enough to make it into the skater/metal/goth scene, so do the manly thing, and cut their jeans to make them look like girl pants. Gay thing \#2, cover half their acne rippled face with greasy, unwashed hair because it's the less conformist thing to do. Gay thing \#3, cutting yourself. Look, every suicide attempt I hear about is some idiot, who cuts themselves along the wrists instead of down the inside of the forearm. You just do it for attention cause you know that behind the mascara, tight pants, checkered shoes, middle class life, you pretend that life sucks and you have it so bad. Grow up, just because your mom and dad are still together, you have a new car, and your parents give you money to spend on razors, your life isn't that bad. Look at some of the hoods and ghettos some people live in. Do you see any of them with long hair or tight pants. No. Do you want to know why? Because they actually have to fight to survive and there's more important things to do than cut yourself, like feed your family and figure out where your going to get money to shelter your loved ones.

EMO - cutting myself relieves the pain of life. NORMAL PERSON - oh really, last time I checked when I cut myself it hurt. EMO - Mom's minivan is less conformist than the school bus. NORMAL PERSON - I ride the bus cause I'm not afraid to stick up for myself if anyone picks on me.

(verb) Coined by me, to "emo out" is to kill oneself. (noun) The music that the whiny, bratty teenagers who wear their 8 year old sister's jeans, forget how to wash their hair, and get picked on so much in band class that they pretend like their going to slit their wrists but don't have the guts to actually go through with it, "enjoy." Of course, being [scene kids] (lovers of emo), they don't actually enjoy the music. They listen to music written by others like them because the grease from their unwashed hair seeps into their ears and clogs the passages, making it impossible for any noise to get past, other than the voices of other [wankers] like them.

(verb) I wish that damn kid with the hair in his eyes would emo out already.

Emotive Hardcore music/scene kids. EMO IS NOT GOTH. to clear this up: Goths are much more dark and want to kill everyone. Emos: Less dark and only want to kill selfs. NOW that that's cleared up, emo is NOT DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL\! Emotive Hardcore music came in the 90's from D.C. Two of the most famous bands from that time period: Rites of Spring and Sunny Day Real Estate. I highly recommend those ^_^. emo doesn't mean tight pants and tight skull shirts. It's a mindset.

There are two types of emo: emos you see every day, these are people who convince themselves that they hate themselves and wear all the clothes/ listen to music said to be emo. But all these people are just trying to be cool. Real emos don't care about their clothes or how people percieve them. Infact they try to avoid contact with other people as they believe that they are not worthy of been seen. Real emo's are usually young adults who can't get a job and have lots of time to think about life and about whats wong with it. A real emo is someone you will never see or hear about not some kid with a crappy fashion sense.

If you see someone who looks "emo" if your gonna insult them don't call them emo call them a loser.

Reject of the Goth subgroup, although you won't be able to get a Goth to admit that these idiots were once Goth. Tend to have ridiculous hair-do's consisting of a random color mixed with black hair dye, tend to grow their hair over their eyes, usually wear extremely tight pants that if a non-emo wore would destroy a non-emo's genitalia, and Emo's tend to wear a shitload of make-up, completing the image of an Emo. Often times the Emo will adopt the "woe is me" attitude, complaining that their life sucks and that they cannot get a girlfriend/boyfriend, which is funny because if you go to [Youtube] and look up Emo videos, you'll likely find said whiny bitch making out with five of their same sex friends. As well, they tend to exhibit a ton of butthurt over being ostracized for being Emo, not understanding that looking like a fag or a dyke is asking to be made fun of or beaten up. They also tend to run their mouth to other cultural subgroups in a vain attempt to look cool or tough, which instead leads to said Emo either running home, crying and writing bad poetry because their "victim" hurt their feelings, or leads to the Emo's hospitalization at the hands of the non-emo. Emo's tend to write very bad poetry and waste the internet's bandwidth complaining about all their insignificant problems. Should conflict with the other subgroups arise, emo's will tend to gather in groups and attempt to intimidate the person(s) they started shit with. Seeing as Emo's are as intimidating as a care bear on morphine, this act is utterly futile. In the rare event that the Emo actually has non-Emo friends, this form of intimidation may have some effect on the person(s) in question. However, this is just goes to show that Emo's are too cowardly to fight their own battles. If one actually does have the courage to fight their own battle, they tend to lose very badly and in an embarrassing fashion, especially if fighting a Mexican. Guys should be wary however, that due to the collective attitudes that all Emo's exhibit and the biological uncertainty of an Emo, that beating the shit out of one could land you in jail,due to the fact that you wailed on a woman who you thought was a dude.

I hate Emo's. I had no problems with them until high school when one tried to intimidate my friend who cried out "emo" when he walked by. she's rather odd and is lacking in height. I tried to explain that she's odd and that i told her not to start anything when he came back, but said Emo started to talk shit to me. I calmly pointed out that his sister's pants were tight enough to cause a rash or jock itch, causing the emo faggot to wander off, ironically calling me a fag. Two days later, said Emo came back with ten of his friends (who were non-emo, oddly enough) and tried to start a fight with me. Rather than backing down, i did what any one should do: call the fucker out on his wish to kick my ass. This went on for 20 minutes until a teacher broke up the altercation. Said Emo did not fight me, and mouthed off all the way to the office. Seriously, fucking Emo's piss me off.

First off I would like to say emo is not emotional... it's something like emoite or something like that... a genre of music NOT like [goth] or sad or pansy stuff But, since the word has now come to mean that I will define the NEW term. [Emo] is an adjective meaning goth but much less cool and more unnecessary hatefulness to yourself. Ways to be emo: 1. Have an awesome life but make it seem like it sucks just so you can make people feel sorry for you. (sadly the next one is how my idiot of a friend got turne) 2. Even though they know there life is great said to themselves one day, "Emo is so cool\! I wanna do it to\!" And thus the cycle begins.... 3. Actually have a sucky life but are to much of a pansy to do anything about it. 4. Just love hurting them selfs because they're retarded. Once they start it happens like this, First they just wallowing in self pity until they finally brake and throw a sissy fit saying "You don't know anything about me or my bad life\!" Cry. (pansy) [Cut]. (because there idiots... \{non-wannabe: to mask the pain of there life with real pain\}) finally at some point in there life \{before they graduate collage) They either kill them selfs or realize how stupid they look and change there ways...

emo dude: My life is so sucky\! me: Good for you..... emo dude: I mean no one understands me\! me: yea..... I don't either get over it... emo dude: You just don't understand\! :cry: me: I really don't care.....

An oversused clique. the word "emo" is around because society made it. today everything is "emo"... we get called emo if we like the color black, or wear converse and skinny jeans. We get called emo if we arnt happy 24/7. we get called emo for having hair in front of our eyes. we get called emo for wearing eyeliner. the list can go on.. it is thrown around like no other lable. most people are too ignorant to know that emo is just a genre of music.

we are all guilty of using the emo clique. even those of us who bitch about it. hippocrits..

a style of music formed in 1980's and 1990's with clean guitar for the verse, and heavy distortion during the chorus. the lyrics usually are emotional, having to do with emotions. such as love, hate, anger, past screw ups. But in no way does emo involve kids cutting themselves, or wearing tight jeans, or scarfs or any of that crap. emo started as a style of music, and has now turned into a degrading form of self expression. i hate what emo has turned into...because in fact, most bands nowadays can be classified as emo, but people are just too used to thinking emo is, black hair, tight pants, and all that. IT ISN'T\!\!\!\!\!\!\!

For example...a band nowadays that should actually be classified as emo is, Boys Like Girls...to be more specific, Me, you, and my medication. Listen to it. it starts out clean guitar, and during the chorus goes into distorted guitar.

Emo is a type of music characterised by songs that are "emotional" and often dark. Emo also refers to a sort of subculture of teens and twentysomethings who listen to that type of music, and dress in a slightly dark, individualistic style. Emo is also associated with depression and self-injury, but to be emo you don't have to have experienced either of these. Emo kids are usually disliked by the popular crowd because they really don't want to fit in with them, but they don't care because the people who they do fit in with are a whole lot nicer in their opinion. Some people say that emo is stupid because a kid will try and be different and find friends who are also trying to be different, and they will be the same as their friends, but really, what alternative style hasn't that happened to? All the punk or gothic or metalhead kids have always stood out on their own and fit in with their friends, and really, that's better than fitting in with everyone. Emo is not really my thing, and I don't consider myself emo, but I'm proud of those who do.

"Jenny" likes Dashboard Confessional and Jimmy Eat World. She wears lots of eye makeup and is a good writer. she hates to fit in with the rest of the world. She considers herself to be emo.

Emo started off as a type of music, but not its stemmed into fake people who live on fake emotions and spend too much time on the computer, and MySpace. They're attention seekers, and each one is a sheep, they each follow each others trend. They claim to be unique, but all look the same. (Like they have a dead cat on their head) The boys are confused about their sexuality. (and sex, they're typically feminine) And the girls look like prostitutes. Whatever happened to guys looking masculine nowadays? No-one understands why they get so depressed. Most of the ones many people talk to have great things: like a widescreen TV, latest gaming console out, yet have an "excuse" for being depressed. Emo's accuse us of not understanding them when they don't bloody tell us\! You ask them what's wrong, they say "oh, nothing" and insist on not telling us because they don't HAVE an excuse. Funny thing is, in 10 years, they'll look back and think "what the bloody hell did I look like?\!" They complain they get bullied, but looking like that, how can you blame the bullies? How these sad-acts can walk outside in public, I do not know.

[emo] i generally and wrongly used by many people. Saying it's short for [emotional]. Typically used when talking about people who are sad, cry alot, cut theirselves, have massive bangs, wear black/red, and swear up and down, that no one understands them. [Emo] is short for [emotive hardcore]. Okay. The way people use it is talking about [scene] or [fashion core] people.

Wrong: Wipe those tears and stop being a lil emo bitch. Right:Omg. thats Rites of Spring song was so emo.

Emo can be defined in various forms. More so, people commonly will refer to it as a genre of music, but mistakingly. Take Linkin Park for example, or Three Day's Grace. They are ALTERNATIVE, but they're considered Emo Rock for a reason. That reason is that Emo people listen to it. Emo people are those who like to cut themselves (usually) or just hate their lives. They are easily depressed and wear normally dark clothing. More-so it's just a form of depression and in some cases, bi-polar disorder. But that's aside the point. Emo can be defined how you see it. Emo can be someone who's overly happy, a person who is very moody, or someone who's always one specific mood -take depression for example, so that proves my point. But the common Emo is the one I stated before now. If you ARE a cutter Emo, please seek help, it's not good for you or anybody else's health. Talk to somebody -a friend, a parent, a teacher, someone who will listen- to get advice on your life and decide if it's really that horrible. But overall, there isn't much a TRUE definition for the word "emo". It's all about how you percieve it, so don't get too confused. And when I say that, I'm referring to modern times, not anything else that's happened in the past. My examples are a little extreme; don't take them too literally. And don't try to change yourself to be an Emo in any form just because you want to be like somebody else. You'll only appear like a poser, so just be who you are.

An example of a depressed emo- Emo Kid: My life is a wreck. I wish it would just go away. Normal Kid: Aww, don't be that way, cheer up a little\! An example of Emo Rock (Songs with depressing lyrics)- Linkin Park, Three Day's Grace, (sometimes) Nickelback (thought not all the time so don't get mad because I personify it this way ;) ), and sometimes Green Day. Though most of these bands are described as Alternative/Metal. Once more, all about perception. An example of moody person (another Emo form)- Moody Kid: I want to kill myself now. Kid: Why? Moody Kid: I don't know, let's go play soccor\! *Moody kid smiles*

Emo (Short for Emotional hardcore) is mostly miss understood and is pretty over rated by many ppl, so what if emo's are emotional so is every over fucker in this god forsaken world as well as emo's alone so get over it. At least the genre of emo comes from a decent background in which its foremost creation is closely related to and has had inspiration coming from the punk genre the one thing that changed rock forever during the 70's. Emo is just another newer version of punk thats not as hardcore but has a more emotional attachment to its type of style and genre of music And emo replaces the old romantics that were originally the emo's of there time look it up). Yeah ok I'll give it to ppl that most emo ppl will try and over rate themselves with things that are emotionally tied to them when of course they really don't have nothing wrong with them at all but believe me some ppl that r emo do have problems other than cutting there wrists which i stereotyping, which is a form of attack on young generations style because and certain twat doesn't understand what an emo is or whatever have u. But enough of the chatter and bull this is my definition if u dn't like it then u know u must really be a chav or an ignorant tosser with nothing better to do with his/ or hers time.

Thickened makeup mostly different coloured hair, normally black, a massive side fringe, piercings depending on how hardcore u r and an extravagant choose in music as well s emo and other hardcore bands woot and at least there not a chav

Emo is a subdivision of Goth, (which itself is a subdivision of Punk) and can usually be seen wearing tight clothing, itchy wool scarves (no matter how hot it is) black-and-white striped sweaters and hair that covers 3/5 of the face. There are four main categories of emo: Emo Emo These kids are the classic stereotype. Usually listens to (or writes) crappy music and writes even crappier poetry (these songs are usually about getting dumped, death or something else melancholy). Practices self-mutilation (the cutting of oneself) and is dismal as hell. The best way to deal with these emos is to either get them professional help or get them some sort of anti-depressant Soap Opera Emo Emos that over react to everything. they don't get happy, they get estatic. they dont get sad, they get suicidal. In short, these emos are huge drama king, (or as they put it "Extreamly Emotional") and are okay people but can get realy anoying. Happy Emo An Emo who likes to listen to emo music and dresses like an emo but doesn’t cut himself or cry about everything. They are perfectly happy human beings like you or me but still enjoy MCR, Fallout boy and other emo CDs of the sort. Fakemo Even other emos can’t tolerate these fucktards. They do everything an Emo does but have no real problems whatsoever. They simply do all this to A) Be accepted by other emos (why they’d want to, I can’t imagine why) B) To get negative attention or C) to scare the crap out of their parents. The way to recognize them from real Emo wackjobs is that they usually get in your face more that real emos and try to bring themselves to cutting themselves, but never can. The best way to deal with them is to give them the silent treatment and avoid them to resist the temptation to give them the beatings they so richly deserve. Emo-In-Denial An emo who considers him self a Goth. He usually beats on and makes fun of other emos even though there is virtually no difference between them and the other categories.

Emo Emo: My life sucks (sob), I hate you (sob), I hate myself, I hate my parents (sob) and I hate everything in this world\! AHHHHHH (stabs self to death) Soap Opera Emo: I got tickets to see Green Day\! this is the best day of my life, I couldn't imagine being happier. wait, I have to take my little brother. NOOOOOO\!\!\!\! (cries). I think (sob) I'll go (sob) kill myself Happy Emo: I got tickets to see Green Day, this is gona be awsome\! Wait, I have to take my brother? Damn. Fakemo: I'm goint to cut myself with this knife realy soon\! I'm gonna do it...I'm gonna do it...I'm gonna do it...I'm gonna do it...I'm gonna do it. Damn, I still cant do it. Okay, on the count of three, i'll drive this god damn Xacto into my wrist. Here it goes, One, two, THREE\! Now I'm gona do it\! I'm gonna do it...I'm gonna do it... Emo-In-Denial: God I hate emos, I hate MCR, fallout Boy and all that shit poetry they write. They'll never understand true artists, like green day and my awsome poetry about death Emo: uhhhhhh... whats the differnce? EID: Shut the fuck up you emo fag

unlike the many different opininated definition of EMO out there the correct one is EMOTIVE hardcore. "Emotive Hardcore" music genre began to flourish in the late 80s, led by bands such as the likes of Rites of Spring. The term Emo was, believe it or not, a somewhat derogatory term used to put down fans of the new wave "Emotive Hardcore" bands. But, after a huge boom from the genre over the last decade and a bit, the term has been stolen by "stupid little boys who cry and wear eyeliner," as quoted from an article on barb wire so eloquently puts it. Now many teens who have never even heard of the word emotive or listened to real Emo music, claim "Emo" as their own. so basically any so called "emo" has based there lifestyle on a farce when most dont even know what that kind of music is.It is just another stupid trend for people to be apart and excluded from. A "click" in otherswords they the "EMO kids phase" who believe themselves to be original when its obviously people just trying to fit in by following the trends like the sheep they are... Not following a trend that doesn't suit you means you are strong and aware of who you are. That's why only young teens are emo, they have no idea what's going on, or how lucky they are, they are insecure and have no self confidence, and so they fit in by not fitting in... it's a joke, but most grow out of it... but basically its foolish to become something you don't even understand in the forst place so well done to all you emos out there well smart arent you being part of something so trivial.Oh and another thing about it bands such as MCR P\!ATD and FOB are not in the emotive hardcore genre To be perfectly honest no actually emotive hardcore band exists today. Funny don't you think?

Emo is in fact a shortened term for Emotive Hardcore; the genre of music. Emo is a music genre - nothing more. For those people that say that they're individual and emo well that's crap. every teen these days are trying to be "emo" it's not original. Start your own trends\!

emo.. is a name for people who are not happy with there life all the ttim or people who can love it one minute then hete it the next. unlike [chavs] emos have a heart and dont hang around at skate parks for no reason. sure some emos cut themselcves but its just a way to let out hurt and anger. but some don't. simply because they don't want to. if that is so hard to understand then i give up on people like you. btw i am not an emo but i like the hair and the clothes and the music but i am NOT an emo but i luv emos to pieces\! LEAVE OFF\!\!\!\!

between a chav and an emo \{chav\} emo scum. look at the eyeliner. your a boy, mush. \{emo\} chav scum. look at you in your burberry hat and your white trackies. you look a mess \{chav\} better than wearin skinny jeans. especially when you can't even walk. \{emo\} get lost. go back where you came from back to all your friends. \{emo walks off\}

The way stupid teenagers spend their lives crying and thinking that their lives are horrible (they certainly are). Also many emo teenagers like to pretend they tried to commite suicide just to gain a little attention... pathetic. Please, if you are a emo, get a life and listen to real music, you are not special\!\!\!

Emo boy: Damn, I'm so sad because nobody undestands me. Normal person: I'm sorry, Did you said something? Emo boy: You are my only friend ________ (name of the normal person), I love you.

A musical movement that started in the 80's and slowly declind until its corporate death in the mid 90's. Bands such as The Rites of Spring, Texas Is The Reason and Kid Dynamic started the genere, the first of which being the first to use the phrase in 1984. Later in the 80's, the band Brai commercialized on the genre, taking advantage of the underground loyalty the poetic form of punk rock had genreated over the years. They began to use stereotypical, self abusive and exgirlfriend drama filled lyrics in place of heartfelt emotion, and th eband began to not copose a song beyond a few chords and a catchy hook. Soon after, band got more and more attention as the genre "Emo" died and "Scene" music began. Emo is not a subculture, scene is. That is what most people on here are defining. Emo was a movement in the 80's, that is ALL.

The worst thing to arrive in heavy music and the counter-culture in over 10 years. By being all about non-conformity and dressing the way they do they've created a style, another facet for people to conform to. Also, why they fret on past relationships and experiences is beyond me, anyone from any class and any nationality can have abusive parents, can have been in bad relationships and so on. Doesn't matter what scene you're part of, it happens to everyone. Emo kids just decide to make their lives revolve around their problems rather than make the best of the hand they were dealt and overcome their troubles like everyone else. They don't need to dress the way they feel (crappy) and they definitely don't need to set their whiny, talentless singing, and their all-out screaming to "music" (if you could call it that) that lacks real composing and skill. And I've really had enough of their reverse mullets\!

emo is a reverse-mullet dyed red, black and blonde, piercings wherever they can be put, skin tight pants, wearing their little sister's shirt, wearing enough belts for 3 people...etc,etc.

Okay, so there are two very different definitions for the label 'emo'. First version (usually used by non-emos): Emos are attention seekers who live regular lives like every other teenager in Britain but cannot handle the strain as well as everyone else. They say that they are individuals, yet listen to ‘emo music’, hang out in ‘emo groups’ and buy ‘emo clothes’ with their pocket money. They hang out in dark rooms generally ignoring the happy things in life and talk about how depressed they are all the time. Most lie about cutting themselves in order for people to feel sorry for them without actually experiencing any pain at all. Others do it as an ‘initiation’ ceremony in order to become fully emo. ‘Cutting’ is a fad – what on earth does it help? You feel sad, so you cut yourself to make you feel… better? They don’t appreciate what they have, and do not realise how bad other peoples' lives are in comparison to their own. Emo is just an ever-increasingly popular ‘group’ which people want to be part of. It is a group for kids without an identity, looking for a bit of melodrama and ‘deeper levels of understanding’. To be honest, the kids who REALLY have a life not worth living aren’t even in the emo club – they just try to get through each day until it gets better. Second version (usually used by TRUE emos – i.e. those who actually have a reason to be depressed): Kids who have had the misfortune to go through circumstances which are incredibly depressing. For example, parental divorce, death of a loved one, and loneliness. They listen to music which explains how they feel, enjoy hanging around with people who understand how they feel, and buy clothes that express to the world about how they feel. Only some kids cut themselves. Cutting can become addictive, and it distracts from the inner pain. It can be hard when youre labelled in the street because of what you wear, and can sometimes make depression worse. Being a ‘half-emo’ can also mean that you just like black and emo clothes and haircuts, and enjoy gigs and mosh pits. Some people that you like because theyre genuinely nice people, could be emo, and fun to hang around with. Nearly every single teenager has wanted some form of attention or feeling of belonging at some time or other, and being emo could be the solution to some. Don’t hate people because of what they are labelled. Get to know them – they may be more like you than you think.

Person: 'Hey dude, look over there, some damn emos with their black hoodies and weird hair... jeez man theyre such attention seekers' Friend: 'Err... you own a black hoodie, and all they've done is grown their hair long, man.' Person:'Umm... oh be quiet, fool' Cheerleader:'Oh my god, that girl is like, SOO weird - she is like, always DEPRESSED and shit\!' Friend:'Weren't you crying on the phone to me the other night because your boyfriend dumped you? You seemed pretty depressed then...' Cheerleader:'Oh shuttup'

A whiney, unnessicarily deep, attention demanding bitch. Known for dressing as the opposite sex, thick framed glasses, wearing clothes as tight as possible, and cutting themselves. An emo is basically a faggot who is depressed for no reason at all, they think theyre cool cuz theyre fucking annoying and cry when they get presents..so yeah, as you can see, a total whore. Oh, not to mention they have greasy hair hanging in their face cuz they think they're cool and most likely have poor hegeine.. Oh, and most likely bi-sexual and deny it. :] I have three good words for all you kids out there.. DON'T BE EMO.

Sheep, mainly people who are apparently "depressed" / "misunderstood" / "alone" etc. etc. so on and so forth some often try to self harm...but in the end most can't even cut themselves properly, they don't have a sense of individuality, thats why they are sheep, they just follow the trend because someone else is, and they are because someone else is, and the cycle continues, they listen to depressive music claiming to be "in touch with their emotions" but actually aren't, the male emo's are often thought to be gay, with long hair and feminine looking clothing, could be classed as a new species, and the female emo's ruin themselves with pointless random piercings...

Guy1 "That guy over there looks like a woman, he has long hair with a tight jumper and skin tight jeans" Guy2 "I know, he's just an emo...he listens to depressive music and cuts himself while crying himself to sleep" Guy1 "Oh right, lets take the piss outta him"

This is a paper i wrote for the newspaper about what emo is: Omg\! Did you see the singer of “Riding over a bloody river on broken wings”? I loved his makeup. It was like the caked on eyeliner effect is like really hot\!\! And his jeans. . .how can he fit into a size 0? I can’t even do that. These are commonly heard phrases from so-called “emo” kids. I’ll let you in on a little secret. EMO KIDS DON’T EXIST. I bet you all are thinking, are you blind? No my friends, emo indeed doesn’t not exist. Emo is a type of music, not a type of person. Ignorant people who use titles such as “she’s so emo” should be corrected. The proper terminology is “Scene” which is a type of fashion that emulates the current fashion in Indie, and Hardcore music, considered Passé by most people who are involved within each genre of music stated above. For instance people who listened to those types of music originally wore “mosh hats”, Vans Slip-ons or Chuck Taylors, Corduroy blazers, and tight jeans. Soon there after, caricatures of these trends pop up on people trying to fit in by displaying these articles of clothing. Contrary to popular belief, “emo” doesn’t mean emotional. If it did, every single song ever created would be considered “emo”. Starting with the break up of Minor Threat (a straight edge hardcore band) in Washington D.C during the 80’s, some hardcore bands took a turn to a softer side of music. This became “Emotional Hardcore”, not to get confused with just emotional. This is where “emo” came from. Emo is short for Emotional Hardcore. Bands from the late 90’s to today, are not “emo”. To call them such would be an insult to hardcore music. If you want to know what real “emo” music is, download Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is the reason, Jawbreaker, and Fugazi.

Emo. Who knows what it really is, like honestly? Some say its a genre of music, "fags" who sing about there failure relationships, and mostly, people who wear tight pants, strum a guitar to a suicidal song and cry all day. But who is to say that any of these definitions are wrong? We all have different opions; and noone can say one's opion is "stronger" than another opion(in this case)fore, I cannot find a legible source and or person who made the word up. Moreover, if you do find a source, there is still no real evidence to where it really came from(If this was so, Im sure it would be listed in dictionary.com).

Some of the different things that people label as "emo" are(Note, some labeled/accurate definitions may not be included, and im just giving the general examples): 1. Emotional people 2. Bands such as silverstein 3. Outcats of society 4. People who wear certain clothes/and or styles to prove a point to society 5. People who dont take care of them selves, and where rugged clothing 6.Sensitive people 7. Other

seeing as there is much bullshit around about emo being angst ridden teens and melodramitc singers whining about relationships. Yet i have many emo Cds that have only 1 relationship song. Emo means emotive hardcore, not emotional. Its a genre of music, not a style. When kids call themselves emo. yes it is fake, and they are following a trend. But the music itself can also by called Post-hardcore. Emo music is ebout emotion but every song in the world has an emotion. Emo does it in a harder kind of way opposing the crappy sound of rap and bubblegum pop

emo is not kids trying to be cool and faking everything they have a reason to be depressed they are just like everyone else so stop judging them emo people: longish black/dark hair with highlights of a different colour like red or red with black or whatever and fridge covering one eye. tight girl jeans, make-up and maybe a lip piercing and of course CONVERSE\! and they have a very good reason to be depressed. maybe they had something done to them when they were little. not all emos cut themselves. and the ones that do cut themselves to try and get rid of the pain they have on the inside. and sure they may want to die at times but who doesn't? the music they listen to has a meaning to it. it's written by the band/artist and sung by them so they understand it all unlike the pop crap and stuff everyone listens to that other people wrote. they like music like: my chemical romance, taking back sunday (who are not pop/rock crap they are very good), the used, the all american rejects(which are getting too popish now), fall out boy (who are also getting too popish), lostprophets, from first to last, hawthorne heights and loads more. they wear black but that doesn't make them goths or gothic everyone wears black. black goes with everything and doesn't show dirt(that's why new yorkers wear it a lot) they also wear red and purple and pink and green and everyother colour you can think of. they wear a lot of bracelets and sweat bands but that's to hide their scars that are there because they are trying to escape the pain they have on the inside. yes they do take alot of pictures of themselves. describe them as camerawhores if you must. they just like the camera. they are not looking for attention. well not all of them. some might be because they didn't/don't get any at home and their parents don't care. they do not bleed black. it's just a figure of speech about how they feel. and yes they cry alot. but isn't it better to get them out then holding them back and getting worse? tears are the words the heart can't speak. they are away of letting everything out without hurting yourself or anyone else. maybe emo is become overly used and more people are it. but maybe that's because of how the world is now. and maybe they are mostly white people. maybe white people just have a worse life than anyone else. emos are very random and like weird things. they are NOT druggies or whores or whatever. well most of them aren't

(emo-ish person) that's depressing (to something that is really depressing) (person being horrible) everything is depressing, my whole life is depressing, i'm soo depressed i'm gonna go die. (etc) \emo\emo (p.b.h.)go cry in your corner you stupid emo (note emo never did anything) \emo\emo (emo walking along ignoring everyone) (p.b.h) go away you f**king emo.

OK, first of all... Emo is not Dashboard Confessional or "Death Cab" or Fall Out Boy. Advertisers have for some reason decided to use the term "emo" to describe these bubble-gum punk bands for a reason beyond me. O, if only [Wenis] had caught on instead.... Anyways Emo has its roots in the vibrant punk scene of 1980s Washington DC. I'll try to sum this all up as best I can (Im no expert). After the breakup of the hardcore band Minor Threat, the now-legends of the DC scene (Ian MacKaye, Guy Piccioto, etc) decided that the type of music they had been playing had lost its originality and basically worn itself out... So in come the bands Rites of Spring and Embrace. They took the classic DC hardcore sound and added lyrics that conveyed deeper emotions. I'm sure it would sound like noise to most people who hear it for the first time, but I love it. In an interview at the time, Ian MacKaye (Now in Embrace) mentioned that fans had started to use the word "emo" to describe themselves as a group (Alas for cliques and exclusion). Then the term stuck, and was added to similar bands such as Moss Icon, Antioch, and then later Saetia, Current, Indian Summer, and the list goes on. By the early 90s, bands began to take the influences of this "emo" sound and combine it with more melodic pop-punk influences, and now we have Texas Is The Reason, pg. 99, CaPn Jazz, and later the promise ring and jimmy eats world (sort of). The term emo still stuck, even though some people tried to distinguish between the "driving, or melodic emo" of the current time, and the "emocore" of the 80s, most people didnt care. Bands like Jimmy Eat World began to get mainstream recognition in the late 90s, and although they changed their sound substansially, and sounded almost nothing like the Emo of over 10 years ago, the term "emo" was still in use (goddamit, its persistent). Teen People even called emo "the cutest new trend in music" in an article in 1998. Now, this is a HUGE difference from the "Emo" of the early years, which was underground, rough, and raw. But what can you do? And then in the past few years bands have capitalized on Jimmy Eat World type bands new poppy sound, and MTV and all the other "hip" advertisers decided to call them all emo... So here we are with the current "emo trend, which Im sure all of you already know more than enough about.

Being an emo is not being individual. Emos are fashion sheep, as simple as that. Be yourself, don't let a label define you.

Emo music came from the DC scene in the 80's. It's definition has changed over the years with bands like Weezer and the Strokes.

When emo people get depressed they write sobby songs and make suicide notes. Their favorite songs are usually titled 'Stab my heart because I love you' Their dudes look like chicks, their chicks look like dykes. When they get depressed they cut their wrists in every direction. They steal their sister's eyeliner and usually their mascara. They say things like, "My life is like a black abyss, you know? It's so dark. And it's suffocating me, getting a hold of me and tightening it's grip. Tighter then my sisters pants, which look great on me by the way." Hearing songs about getting dumped give them an erection. They cry during classes. They listen to Taking Back Sunday while crying and slicing their arm. They feel real deep, when they dress like a drag. They call it freedom of expression, most just call them a fag. CAUSE EMO, IS ONE STEP, BELOW TRANSVESTITE.

It starts with stars, beyond the skies, beyond the heavens, beyond our reach, but we wonder, we try, we reach out and grab. I am a star. I am a shining star, and I am beyond your reach. And no matter how many ships you build you will never reach me. I exist among you, I speak to you, (I keep quiet). I don't need words, I don't need sound. You see it, you see it when you look at me, I'm different. I'm a giant. I can't be missed. You see me, and you want to know, what I am, what it's like, to be me to exist like i do and it's painful and it hurts and it's wonderful and it's chaotic and tiring. And it's not whining, it's not, it's not, it just hurts, and it needs to be expressed, you need to hear it, and it's not whining because it's true. I bleed, I cry, and die for you, I defecate my pain for you but you'll never know, because you are you and I am me and I am cursed and in love with you, and with myself, and with everyone and with Earth and nature and my pain and my struggling-struggling- to breathe, to think, to be understood and accepted, (do I want that?) Is that possible, not just for me, but for everyone, they're all irrelevent, you are irrelevent. Do you understand? You mean nothing to me, nothing, you are the pain I defficate, I need your acceptance. Please love me. Love me, love me and be gone, go, go away I don't have time for you, there's no time, no time, I have a lifetime to figure all this out, but just one life, that's it just one. And it'll end- it'll end with the stars, and I'll be one of them, a giant, and you'll look to me with your telescope, shining beyond the sky, but you'll never reach me. I'm a star, I'm untouchable, I'm special, different, I'm superior and inferior, important and useless, I'm in my head I'm in your way and you will look at me and you will reach out and you'll see that I'm a ghost, I'm a mirage, a dream, I'm everything you think and feel and want and love and hate. I'm emo.

PLEASE DO NOT REJECT THIS JUST BECAUSE IT IS LONG. IT CAME FROM ME HEART. \<3 Kind of. This is very important. I know this is a slang dictionary and unserious entries and definitions are intended, but I can't laugh at silly people making cruel fun of things that should not be anymore like I used to, and as this site gets so many visitors, I think it's a good place to make my point. Thankyou to all who read, Wikipedia, and the few others who write similar definitions and deserve more to agree with them. Aaand thanks a great bunch to the media and all you horrid, disrespectful people out there who make up lies about such people and accept the crap they hear about them. Here we go. Very misunderstood and abused in recent times, the general concept of "emo" is very different to what one following the crowd may first think. A great deal of this misunderstanding is caused by the media, and perhaps certain attributes to the majority of people who consider themselves "emo" causing others to believe that this applies to the entire community. Tracing the roots of Emo back to the 1980's makes the original Emo over 20 years old, and so in its whole it is not necessarily a 21st-century wave. Some may consider Emo to actually have multiple meanings. I. The Music Emo began as a genre of music. Contrary to popular belief this is not all depressing with heartbroken tones and whiny mopey lyrics. It emerged from the hardcore punk scene of the early 1980s Washington D.C. Guy Picciotto formed the band Rites of Spring in 1984, and their music included elements such as melodic guitars, varied rhythms, and deeply personal, impassioned lyrics, as would become familiar in the later generations of Emo music. Indeed, they were often concerning matters such as nostalgia, romantic bitterness and desperation, and were often very poetic. Therefore their performances often became public emotional purges where audience members would sometimes weep. This is the first and one of the main reasons Emo became to be thought of as a constantly depressed and pointlessly miserable scene. One of the main reasons people write and perform music is to express their inner thoughts and feelings in a way that they enjoy and can be creative with, as keeping them bottled up inside is not always a good way to go. You get sad songs, you get happy songs. Not all dubbed-Emo music includes these wistful tones, some good few being quite upbeat and lively, more like to power pop, and including morals rather than, or perhaps as well as, thoughts from the artist's mind. There is nothing wrong with expressing sadness, desire, or any emotion or thought for that matter in your music. The music belongs to the artist, so leave them to it. If you don't like it, fair enough. Don't make such a fuss. II. The Fashion Later on Emo developed into a stereotype, with a certain way of dressing accompanying the music. Generally this includes very tight jeans/drainpipes/skinny-fit jeans on males and females alike, with graphic tees, brightly-decorated black-background hooded jumpers/jackets, often studded belts, perhaps fingerless gloves, and at one point it was associated with black horn-rimmed glasses. Before this, it had a 'clean-cut' look. Of course, this is considered by most to be a fad. Not everyone dresses like this, and if they don't, that is upt o them, and there is nothing about it worth criticising. III. The Lies Emo is believed to be the abbreviation of 'emotional', another reason many believe the scene is associated with Many of you will have heard of the unfortunate suicide of Hannah Bond. Personally, I think she had the idea of Emo all wrong herself. Due to this and various other things, popular media has associated emo, wrongly, with depression, self-harm, and even suicide. This is deeply upsetting. One who thinks of such things, is depressed, or self-harms shoudld NEVER be called 'emo'. Firstly, not everyone likes being called this. Secondly, it is an incorrect term; emo does NOT mean suicidal or self-abusing at all, as you can see. Thirdly, these people are unhappy. It may not be their fault. Life is hard. Some people DO get depressed and do or think of such things. It is very sad, very serious, and is really NOTHING to make fun of. Those who do are stupid, inconsiderate spewers of ridicule. IV. The Warring A more ridiculous area. People in the scene as a stereotype in England often consider it to be 'warring' with the stereotype of [chav], and some others might, either as well, or instead, think Emo to be 'allied' with the stereotypes of [grebo], [scene] and even [goth], but some of these are not necessarily set in stone at all. Goth for example has more ancient roots, has various branches and connotations, and is usually seen as a more elegant, dark, aristocratic and perhaps even older thing. Emo is usually a thing amongst teenagers, but of course not limited to this age group. The groups might be seen as 'warring' due to the inconsideration and common stupidity or thoughtlessness of chavs. They commonly, atleast in the younger ages and around my area, misunderstand the meaning of "emo" and give no thought to those who are depressed or self-harming, using such a thing as an exuse for making stupid fun. Some say emos are dying out; This is not a literal saying, only meaning that less people seem to be following the fashion and style. Of course, the whole metaphorical, childish 'war' is a load of senseless poppycock. Don't get caught up in this, kaay. It's just that chavs, from another's point of view, are common, rude, rough, and give no thought to those who are not like them. Perhaps I will write a definition on them, too, but try not to be bias... V. The Important Things There are some very important things to remember; \emo Not everyone who listens to "emo" music dresses according to this wave of fashion. \emo Not everyone who dresses in such a way listens to or likes "emo" music. \emo Some "emo"s DO self-harm, are depressed, or think of suicide. But not all of them. If they are like this, it is usually by other reason and not because they are associated with this stereotype. If they are doing it to 'fit in with the stereotype' or something, then they themselves are very stupid. I think. Sorry. \emo Not everyone likes being stereotyped or being called "emo". \emo "Emo" is not actually an insult. So don't use it. \emo "Emo" and 'associated stereotypes' are widely considered to be 'alternative' styles. \emo Remember the important stuff. \emo Don't hate or make fun of someone for who they are\! Unless it's a horrid, thoughtless beasssst.

Correct examples. "You look so emo in those jeans and that jacket\!" "There's this emo band I'm into, they're really sweet." "There are a few emos in our school but most of the young ones are chav wannabees." Incorrect uses. "Stop whining, you sound like such an emo\!" "Haha, that emo kid probably slits his wrists all the time." "I wish emos would die; or go kill themselves already."

1. A new-age style of music developed by musicians such as Emmanuel from Emo Dagher who incorporate powerful emotion into lyrics with uplifting music accompanying. This could also be called 'soulful music' as the overall tone is relatively positive. 2. A dark genre of music that combines varied rock music type instrumentation with often depressed, depressing or downright whiney lyrics. This is in a way punk music gone bad due to a combination of depression, low self esteem and people apparently wanting to feel more depressed thanks to the singer whining about their problems. This could also be due to wanting to relate with it, but in the end it only turns a grim mind state into a rather generic lifestyle. 3. The people who walk around dressed in gothic/punkish clothing who constantly act depressed and/or monotone due to several reasons, usually including lack of attention from both peers and family, not wanting to get over their problems, and a dominating 'victim' mindset which usually causes them to falsely believe they can't do anything about their problems. This is obviously a foolish choice on the part of the individual but stupid and/or brainwashed people seem to enjoy not enjoying themselves, so in this writer's opinion, let 'em whine, just make sure they do it somewhere else. 4. An attempt to get 'friends' made most often by people who have none. In such cases as this the individual gives up their individuality for sake of conforming entirely to what these 'friends' say is right to be accepted. In reality these are not the person's friends as they are apparently very superficial and in some amusing cases, these same people can walk around whining about how others conform.

1. "Dude, this emo daugher group actually puts positive vibes out\! Maybe emo isn't just all them whiney teens." 2. Jahred (from Hed P.E.) - "Friends do not let friends listen to emo\!" 3. Also Jahred from the end of the song 'Game Over' - "Go ahead, spend your money on some stupid fuckin trend\! Some shit that's gonna be gone by next year. Wear your hair like a girl, wear girl pants like a fuckin queer\! Keep whining about your little cheating slut of a girlfriend\! Like a fuckin little baby.. be a man... Checkmate.. ha\!" 4. From the Emo song made by adam and andrew - "You can be a nonconformist too if you look just like me."

1. (musical genre) emo music rose form the Washington DC punk scene in the mid 80s. bands were noted for being lighter. Notable to today's definition, bands sang instead of the more aggressive punk branch that would become hard core. Due to its vague definition and use as an insult, many bands that are not self proclaimed emo bands are branded with this title. 2. (lifestyle) This is the more commonly known definition. Emos are often self pitting, and have a negative outlook on life. many emos are compared to "[goth]s". The term is usually used for people who's "depression" is fake and only for attention.

1-examples of early popular emo bands include Sunny Day Real Estate and The Promise Ring 2 "dude is dave depressed? he's been looking sad lately." "naw dude dave's just being emo. hope he doesn't stay that way..."

Basically a bunch of kids trying to rebel against society by adopting a new 'rebellious' image in which they dress up in dark clothes, have long hair, slit their wrists and listen to crappy music such as Fallout Boy and Panic at the Disco. However, the problem is that this whole image was thought up of businessmen in the music industry who want to make money off naive teenagers, something which they have done rather successfully\! People seem to think that all emos are social outcasts. Not true, a number of them are actually popular kids who think that changing their image will make them more down-to-earth when in fact it turns them into a bigger prick\!

Originally an arty outgrowth of hardcore punk, emo became an important force in underground rock by the late '90s, appealing to modern-day punks and indie-rockers alike. Some emo leans toward the progressive side, full of complex guitar work, unorthodox song structures, arty noise, and extreme dynamic shifts; some emo is much closer to punk-pop, though it's a bit more intricate. Emo lyrics are deeply personal, usually either free-associative poetry or intimate confessionals. Though it's far less macho, emo is a direct descendant of hardcore's preoccupations with authenticity and anti-commercialism; it grew out of the conviction that commercially oriented music was too artificial and calculated to express any genuine emotion. Because the emo ideal is authentic, deeply felt emotion that defies rational analysis, the style can be prone to excess in its quest for ever-bigger peaks and releases. But at its best, emo has a sweeping power that manages to be visceral, challenging, and intimate all at once. The groundwork for emo was laid by Hüsker Dü's 1984 landmark Zen Arcade, which made it possible for hardcore bands to tackle more personal subject matter and write more tuneful and technically demanding songs. Emo emerged in Washington, D.C. not long after, amidst the remnants of the hardcore scene that had produced Minor Threat and Bad Brains. The term "emo" (sometimes lengthened to "emocore") was initially used to describe hardcore bands who favored expressive vocals over the typical barking rants; the first true emo band was Rites of Spring, followed by ex-Minor Threat singer Ian MacKaye's short-lived Embrace. MacKaye's Dischord label became the center for D.C.'s growing emo scene, releasing work by Rites of Spring, Dag Nasty, Nation of Ulysses, and MacKaye's collaboration with members of Rites of Spring, Fugazi. Fugazi became the definitive early emo band, crossing over to alternative rock listeners and getting press for their uncompromisingly anti-commercial attitudes. Aside from the Dischord stable, most early emo was deeply underground, recorded by extremely short-lived bands and released on vinyl in small quantities by small labels; some vocalists literally wept onstage during song climaxes, earning derision from hardcore purists. Fugazi notwithstanding, emo didn't really break out of obscurity until the mid-'90s emergence of Sunny Day Real Estate, whose early work defined the style in the minds of many. Tempering Fugazi's gnarled guitar webs with Seattle grunge, straight-up prog-rock, and crooned vocals, SDRE launched a thousand imitators who connected with their dramatic melodies and introspective mysticism. Some of this new generation connected equally with the wry, geeky introspection and catchy punk-pop of Weezer's Pinkerton album. While several artists continued to build on Fugazi's innovations (including Quicksand and Drive Like Jehu), most '90s emo bands borrowed from some combination of Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Weezer. Groups like the Promise Ring, the Get Up Kids, Braid, Texas Is the Reason, Jimmy Eat World, Joan of Arc, and Jets to Brazil earned substantial followings in the indie-rock world, making emo one of the more popular underground rock styles at the turn of the millennium.

Emo is a rock/punk subgenera of music, evolved into a subcultural scene for depressed teenagers. Emo, as a music style, was originally a type of music coined by the post-hardcore band "Rites of Spring" to describe their type of music. As years passed, the original genera began to die out. However, the tag "emo" remained. It began to describe many bands such as Hawthorne Heights, My Chemical Romance, and Taking Back Sunday. Modern-day emo is often characterized by depressive lyrics, often criticized as whiny; screaming in some or many parts of songs (which goes into [screamo], a subgenera of emo); distorted guitars, often using two or three guitars to create dissonant harmonies; drums that in most cases accentuate the guitar rhythm, rather than create its own separate rhythm; bass, which shares the dissonant, minor qualities of the guitar, but has lost importance in many of the bands. Lyrical content of the music often contains thematic elements and undertones of self-inflicted wounds, depression, suicide, hopelessness, being murdered, stalking, being overly fixated on past relationships, and being tortured. Emo lyrics are often criticized by the public as a bad influence on the teenage population and encourage self-inflicted pain, depression, and suicide. As a subculture for teenagers, emo has evolved into an entire scene characterized by long, black hair with fringes off the the side, tight pants, the color black in general, horn-rimmed glasses, and excessive amounts of black eyeliner. The "emo" look is marketed towards the masses, rather than only the depressed, angsty teenagers. It is considered "cool" by many to look "emo"

The band Silverstein, often referred to as "emo," provides an example of the emo look.

A person that’s always complaining about his life, making a drama out of everything. They usually come to you and just talk about their problems, to the point they annoy the hell out of you, because no matter what you do, you can’t help them, or cheer them up. Being depressive, dramatic and complaining about everything becomes their way of living. Most of the time they are just attention whores looking for everyone’s compassion and time. They sometimes tell you they are going to suicide, but never really do it, because its just another way to get attention.

person 1\> Hello person 2\> Hi person 1\> whats up peeson 2\> Just playing SSBM, and you? (never ask that back if you're not in a mood for drama XD) person 1\> My mom is being and ass, she won't get me a wii and says I'm useless..... bla bla bla person 2\> ... stop being so emo, I'm not in a mood right now

Emo is a person usually under 20 years old. They intentionally cut or hurt them selves to relieve emotional pain, and bring it onto their wrists or other body parts. They do this because there are probably big problems in their life; a loved one died/ left, bullying, family issues ect. Most emos do not tell you they are, or make it obvious. Therefor if they do they are probably saying it for attention. The emo look; skinny jeans, tight sweaters, band shirts, converse shoes, side swept hair covering an eye, eyeliner, perhaps numerous peircings. Music; soft rock or punk, screamo

Okay, I've read through these stupid definitions on here for emo, and they're all WRONG. I am an emo, so I figured this would be the best way for you numbskulls to get it through your minds. "Emo" IS short for "emotional". To be emo, you have to listen to the music, [i.e. My Chemical Romance, Aiden, Underoath, etc, etc] wear the clothes, [i.e. skinny jeans, studs, etc, etc] and have the personality. Now, personality is the biggie here. An emo personality is not always depressing, oh, and hint hint, EMO'S. DO. NOT. HAVE. TO. CUT. Emo's do, however, need to be a bit shy, poetic, and generally pretty intelligent. Emo's are also usually very, very nice people. Most of them, now I say most, not all, understand hurt. Generally emo's are shunned from society, but they're always willing to talk to someone. Emo's are sensitive, and only want their thoughts to be heard. Emo's do not always cut, are not always depressed, don't wear just black, and aren't freaks. They're people.

Here is an emo IM conversation: PoeticXpoison: Hey. Haven't talked to you in a while. Simmering_emotions: I know. I've been a bit stressed lately. How are you? PoeticXpoison: I've been okay. Got a few new CD's, couple T-shirts, you know. Simmering_emotions: That's great. You know, I think posers have been multiplying at school. PoeticXpoison: What makes you say that? Simmering_emotions: The fact that random preps are suddenly dressing in all black, wearing a ton of studs, writting horrid poetry, and slitting their wrists. PoeticXpoison: How pointless. I wish they would realize that you don't have to hurt yourself... Simmering_emotions: Same here. PoeticXpoison: Hey, do you want to come over here later? We can listen to the new Panic CD. Simmering_emotions: Sounds great. See you around...five? PoeticXpoison: Perfect. PoeticXpoison has signed out.

A member of the emo community has 3 main ingredients. They are as follows: 1. Blood. 2. Their emo friends' blood. 3. ipod. They tend to lurk in the dark sides of the hallway along with the lesbians, bisexuals, geeks, and skater punks(faggots). Their main form of initiation into their group is by: 1. Dying their hair. 2. Covering one eye with their hair. 3. Making their myspace names the lyrics of emo songs. 3B. and constantly changing those names. 3C. Constantly taking pictures of themselves and putting it on their myspace. 4. Emo guys also tend to wear gay jeans that are for girls. After initiation emos are not allowed to associate with anyone who wears or acts as follows: 1. Everything but Hot Topic 2. Happy thoughts 3. Is not gay. Emos tend to take 10-15 years to develop from birth, this is why if you are in 5th or 6th grade you probably will not see a very large emo population. Enjoy it while it lasts because once you enter middle school you will begin to get overflowed with the emos. Disclaimer: I do not experiment on the emos I just see them so much.

Emma(10 years old): I'll never become an emo\! There probably is no such thing as an emo. 3 years later Emma(13 years old): Omg I hate my life *slit* AHH THE BLOOD I LOVE THE BLOOD\!\!\! BEWARE\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!

Either... 1.Someone who is very sensitive, therefore more easily upset than normal You can't rarely tell if someone is emo or not, only close reletives or themselves, some emos are also easily angered, disgusted or depressed(which is where the myth about all emos being depressed came from.) OR. 2.Someone who is so easily upset that they are always so, often wear drab clothes to express the fact that they are sad, though, contary to popular belief not usually goth clothes. There should be another name for them, since nowdays, if someone hears the word 'emo' they instantly think of this definition.

Okay. Emos are a bunch of poser assholes. As you may already know by the 1,000+ definitions of "emo". Emos are: 1. Ususally seen shopping at Hot Topic, Zumiez, or some other clothing store that is expensive and over indulgent on the whole stripes and skulls theme. 2. In need of a shower. Really badly. 3. Seen with their large groups of emo buddies even though though they say that they are "alone". Psh. 4. Found writing weakass "poems" about breaking up with their girlfriends. Half the WORLD's been there. And they got OVER it. You should too. 5. Stupid. Get a life. 6. Usually trying to pass off their feeble scratches on their wrists as a sign of their self-"mutilation". 7. Fucking preps of the night. 8. NOT COOL And the list goes on and on... Please note: Not all people who wear black, have long bangs, are depressed, or preform acts of self-mutilation on themselves are emo. They could like the color, the hair style, or are in some sort of maniac-depression.

1: Emos are either crying, whinny, cutting punks that can't help to think they are useless, deprived of love, or heartless 2: Emos are skateboarding, emotive hardcore loving, metal slamming teens from 13-17 or keep going to be emo in adult yrs. Write lyrics that are meant to be loud and emotional or about something that happened to them 3: Emos can be hyper, colorful,emotive, laid back yet smiley people who also love the emo fashion and hardcore type of music like punk, indie rock, heavy metal, metal, emotive hardcore...they love ninjas, vampires, werewolves, zombies, faerie, coffins, Hot Topic, skulls, studded belts or jewelry, black, bright colors, red, blood, horror or morbid/macabre art, magik, ghosts, ghost lovers, bloody horror movies and books, wear their bangs in front of face, some dye hair black, alot of wild colors, keep their natural hair color not just dye another color beside black, they like sick minded things, anything to do with poetry, loud metal music, skateboarding, death topics, or paranormal or abnormal related. 4. EMOS are people coming from a emotive hardcore background that takes an emo person to further distance themselves. Emo was marked in the year of 1984 when the band Rites of Spring started to play in Washington, D.C. these songs gave heart-wrenches of woe which woe means sorry, lost, distance, grief or that someone was hurt real bad.Emotional Punk Music started in the e. 1900's that grew nationwide that teens grew hunger for songs with guitar solos that were loud and piano or keyboard riffs. Punk music is also positive showing that others can be hurt by words or things just done. Emos can show good messages too...not just about pain and suffering. Actually today about 73% of known emos are energetic, upbeat,happy,hyper, yet some may just smile all the time cause they just love the emo sense of style or emos that rarely smile but if you say something funny you could get a smile and a laugh. 18% of emos are sad, emotional, cutting, self-blamming teens but its not like they can't smile or laugh in awhile. "I have watched many plus I am emo too and trust me I've seen a group of 8 emos that never smiled until someone started to do stupid tricks and tickle them to death" 5: Emo girls tend to be very emotional but not sad way they can be very happy, they usually are energetic,hyper, heart-warming girls which most write poems of sad relationships, death, dead people, or plain unusual.

Emo- A group of teenagers who feel like loners, outkasts and rejects. People automatically pressume emo kids cut and are depressed living in a world of self pity. It is UNTRUE\! Many emos are critisized by the way they dress or look even by the music they listen to. So what if a girl wants to have black hair covering some of her forehead or black skinny jeans. People should be allowed to listen to what they want dress how they want without being judged. If anyone else tells you otherwise spit in their fucking face and tell them to piss off\! Emos can usually be depressed or not. Emos that self harm, its not for the attention. Its for way deeper reasons than that ie family life.

Think before you say. Words become actions. Play with a toy, play with a knife. Play with an emo and we will play with your life and fuck it up so badly, you may become an emo too\!

1. An extremely annoying fad for all non-emos, and unhealthy for emos. Basically, a less sinister and evil goth with a few aspects of chav thrown in. They are pretty much all either depressed, or pretend to be, and as such take antidepressants, or try to kill themselves, or pretend to. They wear ill-fitting jeans and sweatshirts, usually striped, and have silly hair. Their favourite colours are pink and black, and they regard everyone else as inferior. They know nothing about real life because they spend most of their time locked in their room with a knife listening to My Chemical Romance and other rubbish like that. They claim to be in touch with their emotions, but are totally incapable of anything other than complete misery. 2. Miserable and depressing whiny form of music that says how life is rubbish and how INSERT ARTISTS NAME HERE just wants to get away by killing themselves, although unfortunately for the rest of us they never do.

Urban dictionary has a lot of definitoins on emo, and most of them are BULL-\! Aren't stereotypes in general BULL-? Emos are not whiney, rich kids who think life sucks and try to kill themselves- that's called stereotyping. And besides, you don't have to be rich to shop at Hot Topic. Since when does anyone not want to be themselves and be an individual. Who cares if you don't look a certain way, or you don't have to act a certain way either. Just be yourself.

If you watch interviews with the guys from Fugazi and From First to Last, you'll see that eventhough there are emo, they are great people with a sense of humor.

Short for the word emotional. The word originated in the DC with the Band Rites Of Spring. The band called the fans emo because of the style of their music.Nowadays, people consider emo as a lable to people who are generally depressed and very romantic. Even though some people that are emo arent really depressed but enjoy the emo music and the clothing style. Most emos skateboard and shop at Hot Topic [TM].Some emo bands are Taking back sunday, and dasboard confessional. If you wanna talk to a emo kid im this sn Xucantsavemex56.

That Band Taking Back Sunday are really emo. Hot Topic is a Emo store.

The other popular style of dress focuses on darker colors. Commonly seen styles include straightened, dark colored hair, dyed either black, red, multi-colored (brown and black, red and purple, etc.) which covers one eye, or an unnatural dark hue, males wearing pants tailored for females, lip, eyebrow, and labret piercings, and dark make-up on males and females (most notably black eyeliner, although red eyeshadow is becoming increasingly popular). A common accessory for both males and females is glasses with a dark coloured (usually black), thick rim, a style sometimes even worn by persons who do not require corrective eye-wear. Converse All-Star style shoes are common amongst both styles of dress, as are Vans and other skate shoes. While "emo" is often used to describe the dress and attitudes of fans of emo music, "emo" as a musical genre and "emo" as a slang term are largely separate. "Emo" as a musical genre long pre-dated the use of "emo" as a slang term. At the same time, most current bands are labeled "emo" unwillingly, largely because they share some of the fashion trends and attitude associated with "emo" as a slang term. There is also a common stereotype that associates "emo" with self-harm, most notably cutting wrists, partly due to song lyrics associated with "emo" bands, which often speak of acts of self-destruction. However, apart from the anecdotal, there is no significant evidence of any correlation between emo and self-harm.

In today's world bands like Dashboard Confessional and My Chemical Romance are considered "emo."

A new fad that has blown out of porportion. The people that you may see conforming to the outter appearences of others that usually consist of the same hair style and the same attire. Of course, most of them are left in the dark when it comes to the emo music in the '80s which is how emo started, but thats just because they are ignorant and only care about fitting in. Most of them claim to be depressed, that their life sucks, that they want to die, that they have TRIED to commit suicide, ect. Of course, as they probably took two tylenol and said that they tried to kill themselves with pills, they do not try to do it again\! If you want to die, you wouldn't give up after the first try. Also, they are very self-centered and never even stop to realize that their lives are way better than many other people's, not to mention people's lives outside of America, which in most cases would be MUCH worse. In short, an emo is a teenager that wants attention so they dress, act, and do everything the same as a group of people. They cut themselves, but JUST ENOUGH to leave a scar, so that people will be able to see they have a "horrible life". And the emo lifestyle is a plague to the minds of the children.

EMO KID: I think that, before I go home, and before my mom gives me a bunch of hugs and kisses, and my father gives me my allowance of $50, and I watch MTV to find new things to buy so I can be more like that one cool kid I see every day, I'm going to plan out how I'm going to tell my friends tomorrow that I cried tonight and tried to kill myself by slitting my wrist... First, I must give myself a small cut over my vein, OH, GOD, I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HURT\! "OW, MOM, CAN I HAVE A BAND-AID?" Oh, and also, I should write a BS poem about the constant torture I went through as a child, and how everyone hates me, and how I hate myself.

Emo is a person who wants the world to feel bad for them. They dress like fags...no not even fags dress up that gay, and they attempt to look hardcore, even though most of the skinny little queers have never lifted up more than their gay glasses. They think the world is against them and that they wouldnt be missed if they committed suicide...truth is they probably wouldnt. Last of all they think they have all the problems, when really they have the weakest shit to complain about. They are pussies that dont hhave the ability to stand on their own two legs and do something better for the world. They instead listen to queers scream like little girls while they cut themselves.

a word to describe a scene of people who listen to angsty, hormonal music centred around depression and hate. Relief and a sense of belonging is captured in listening to such music. Identified by wearing band tops(or if that's too unhip, vintage tops)usually brown or black. But extremists can wear v.bright clothes, simply patterend though, none of the hippy hysteria.yellow nail varnish is popular, and bows on heads. They often have either v dark hair(dyed).Cartoon drawing is common, and an obsession with Gerard Way.They hardly ever smile, because they have misguided conception that that brings out artiness and mysteriousness in them.However, on the bright side they are often very imaganitive and always anti-prejudice people.

Emo, short for Emotional. Pretty much your definition right there. A whole bunch of sorrow filled people, who listen to downtrodden music which lyrics usually consist of groans and moans of past relationships that went wrong and they take there pain to the extreme. Typically "cutters" or, people who cut themselves when they are upset to release their emotions (very unhealthy by the way.) Majority of Emo's are homo/bi-sexual. Usually "Punks" do not get along with them. (Indie sux, hard-line sux, EMO SUX, you suck\!-Antiflag)

Emo's are people who hate certain people and are 'emotional' hence the fact theyre called 'emos'. Emo's dont always wear black, die theyre hair, cut, or are always depressed. Theyre confused teenagers who can't find a true meaning in life. It's also a way of expressing themselves.

Emo is a sort of commercialized angst, or at least a fashion movement. Emo does not equal "emotional", I think it is music that is almost fake. Bands that aren't only selling their music, but selling their clothes or hairstyles. If a musician has deep lyrics, and I really do mean DEEP lyrics, it's not emo then. But if the lyrics are about some random love story a band made up that's like any other song, then yes I would consider it emo. Because they're probably trying SO hard to be deep about their lyrics, but it's just the same as everything else. It's fake. For example, Secondhand Serenade, Nevershoutnever, or any band/artist like that I would consider emo, because the music seems fake to me. The lyrics suck and is commercialized angst. Here's bands that are more about their clothes or hairstyles that people would call them emo: Fall out boy, Metro Station, you know...bands like that where the clothes fit the kind of "emo" look. Skinny jeans, black hair (usually parted to the side) and other cutesy-very tight looking clothes. Now I am aware that emo used to mean music that was emotional/punkish. In the 90's I believe with bands called Rites or Spring. So, bands that are considered emo, but shouldn't be. BRIGHT EYES\! That's like, the best fucking band in the world but people call it emo because it's emotional. Yes, it's emotional, BUT if you think about what emo means now (commercialized angst, style of clothing) it's nothing close to it. I guess any indie sounding band is consindered emo. Like Death Cab For Cutie. Nope nope nope. NOT EMO.

Once the "want to become emo" read through all the websites and looked up bands that websites considered emo, he gave himself a total make-over. First, he needed to get the right emo wear, so he bought some skinny jeans and dyed his hair black, and painted his nails red and black. Now that he has been partly sucked into this emo style, he needed to learn the right music to listen to. The websites told him to listen to My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday and any band that screams that whole time. The emo kid didn't really understand what made all the bands emo, but he did it anyways, because that is what the websites and shows on MTV have been telling him. But then, he read that he had to cut himself and believe himself to be depressed. So, he started to fake being depressed, until he believed himself so well, that he cut too deep and died.

True emos cannot accept normal problems in their life and overblow the littlest issue. They have not learned that everyone else in the world is able to suck it up and solve their problems and they find that dwelling on their misery is a way to live. They ususally want to be classified at schools as "different" or "intelligent" or "mysterious". Usually, they come off as wimps that cannot deal with life. Many true emos will "try" to make it hidden but intentionally fail to further recieve attention, while getting negative attention and teasing. A poser is truly more stupid than an emo, and pretends to not be able to deal with problems to gain attention. They are a type of [attention whore]. To mimic their closed-minded idea of an emo, they tend to cut themselves, usually in the radial or ulnar wrist arteries. They also tend to dress (what they would call different) but like a growing trend of kids who attempt to appear slovenly (dirty hair and shirts, makeup, etc.) They call themselves "nonconformists" while not realizing that they are joining a growing number of conformists. Posers tend to try to make it well-known that they are [cutters] and make an overly large show of their faked depression. Once they recieve teasing, they run off crying and screaming clichés. If they happen to recieve "comfort" (by a guillable idiot for sure) they cannot accept it and start complaining about everything under their delusion that someone cares to hear them whine, while not realizing that they are acting ridiculous. Incidentally, an extremely large percentage of emos tend to have a good life and possibly better than most average American lives. It follows actually that the people that really do have it bad adapt to it and live with it. While people who have rich parents, lots of stuff, and a smooth life tend to not be able to accept small problems like breakups while the kids who have it bad have learned to handle their family members being murdered.

Event - minor break-up: Emo: I only blame myself *sniff* Poser: *sniff*Nobody understands...*proceeds to write meaningless junk and ends up getting more frustrated and cycle repeats* Kid who has it bad: Who cares I really need to worry about making sure my baby cousin doesn't get killed by our alcoholic mother.

one of the worst things you could possibly be, emos are spoiled crybabies who seek attention. emo "guys" wear converse shoes, tight girl's pants that are too long, a shirt usually with a emo band logo or a shirt with broken hearts or other gay emo shit, they have hair over one of their eyes, and wear make up, or as they call it "guy liner", girls dress pretty much the same way. both emo guys and girls suck, but emo guys are worse, becuase they act like fuckin pussies. emos listen to bands like fallout boy, hawthorne heights, chiddos, my chemical romance, panic at the disco, etc. emos will do ANYTHING to get attention. they lie about having mental diseases such as skitosphrenia, or lie about getting raped, they pretend to be suicidal just for attention, they cut their wrists to fit in and too get attention. for some reason, emos think they are "unique" or "non-conformists" which does not make any sense at all, becuase you see like a million emos that look like clones of eachother, they dress to fit in. there is not much of a difference with emos and preps. emos cut themselves over stupid things, such as their girlfriend who they dated for 2 days broke up with them becuase their a fuckin pussy. some emo kids claim too be goth, which makes them even more of a fuckin poser. others pose in slayer shirts will at the same time wearing girls pants, becuase they think it makes them a metalhead. emos are spoiled ungartful brats, their all rich suburban white kids, who think theyre life is hard. emo is not a way of life, its a fuckin trend, thankfully, in a few years the emo fad will die out, but only with someother gay trend to come. preps think everyone that wears black is emo, so they think goths and metalheads are emo, which is fuckin retared, becuase the ONLY similarity is wearing black. emos also claim to be bisexual, for sttention so you will often see emo boys kaing out in public to get attention. emos also wirte retared poems about cutting themselves, and show it to everyone they know for attention. and by the way, June 6th is national kill an emo day, mark your calenders

emo kid: my life is so horrible, my girlfriend broke up with me, now im gonna cut my wrists, i hope i die anti emo kids: shut the fuck up, if your really sucidal, do us all a favor and go kill yourself, and if you think your life is hard, move to africa,

A word describing an ever-expanding group of disproportionate teens, who to themselves, believe that their lives are somehow more difficult or painful than that of their peers. Appearance: Black long hair. Torn clothing. Dirty and unkept appearance (citing laziness.) Males often wear female pants, and other clothing, often being mistaken for [homosexuals]. Females are often times obese and homely in appearance, leading to a possible cause for their depression. Emo females often have their hair dyed many different unmatching colors, as to compound their already poor appearance, futher lessening their chances for any type of relationship. Demeanor: Emo kids are found to be very whiny and inherently sad individuals, with no apparent cause. When asked, they often claim that others who aren't emo 'just dont understand' when in reality, this is just a scapegoat for lack of a true cause of their 'depression.' This often leads you to discredit their cause, and often times angers them, but is unthreatening, because they will likely injure themselves before inflicting harm on you. Personalities: Emo kids tend to be more intelligent indiviuals, but it is wasted on working a job at Mcdonald's just to buy more emo flare to add to their persona. (buttons, chains, other useless paraphenailia.) They often believe they have deeper souls than other people. It is nothing more than a misconception of reality, that emo kids use to try to feel different from other people, but is a fallacy. Often whiny and lazy, the emo kid tends to be idle most days, wasting time. Conclusion: Emo kids are easy to spot, even easier to make fun of. Being sad because daddy's credit card is maxed out isn't a reason to be sad. Its reason enough to feel like a whiny brat. Emo kids tend to grow out of their idiotic state, and evolve to be normal people, most of the time. Most emo kids will disagree with this definition, saying that "isn't what emo is about" or "thats not what we are." Even they have no explanation as to what 'emo' is. This is largely due to the fact that they don't know, and are simply fitting a profile, with their other emo peers, and also like their 'jock' peers, who also dress and act to conform to a certain profile.

Guy1: wow that kid looks sad Guy2: he's emo, he's a wanna be sad person. Guy1: why would anyone 'want' to be sad? Guy2: For attention. No legitamate reason why. They experience no different of a life than you or I. Guy1: maybe he'll grow up one day.

Angst-ridden hormonal teenagers who cannot control their moodswings. They typically like to 'express themselves' with black skinny jeans, black ripped band tshirts, black eye makeup, black whatever... There is not much expression to be made, however, as half of all decent, middle-class kids from the South of England are dressing exactly the same.

A well-off, well-adjusted, perfectly happy teen will throw themselves into a frenzy of dodgy rock music, tight clothing and wannabe guitar riffs in order to show how hard their small insignificant lives really are and prove to their friends how 'emo' they are.

Emos are usually teenagers who listen to bands such as [My Chemical Romance] ([MCR]) and [Fall Out Boy] ([FOB]). They are usually depressed and love depressing others with their daily [bitching] about how everything/everyone [sucks]. Most emos self harm. You would find that the typical emo wears stripey or skull-patterned shirts with [skinnies] and [converse]. To match their horrific taste in clothing, their makeup is usually overdone and very dark. Both female and male emos have a fringe covering one eye. All emo males are homosexual.

EXAMPLE 1 A: [OMG]\! Do you like my new top? B: Ew\! That's so emo\! EXAMPLE 2 A: I hate my life\! B: Stop being such an emo\!

Emo is a word of many definitions and its about time there was a non biased opinion up here. 1) A variety of music, generally perceived as having depressing or emotional lyrics and sometimes including references to hell, satan, death and other generally frowned on topics. Not to be confused with heavy metal or death metal, emo has a gentler guitar solo, however it has been known to mix itself with other dark varieties of music. Well known bands that include themselves in an emo stereotype would be [Paramore] and [MCR]. 2) Emo People It is commonly understood that there are two types of "emo" people. Type A - the emotional A person who is well known to self harm and promote other destructive activities with suicide being related to them often. A common misconception of emotionals is that they are lonely people. In reality an emotional can belong in any stereotype and have a social circle of any size. They can also keep their self harm a secret or choose to have it well known. They are often considered to be attention seeking and depressing, with tendancies to write lyrics or poems themed with death and love and strong desires to sit in dark corners. Type B - the "emo faggot" The "emo faggot" is the least liked variety of emo. Generally known to wear tutu's, skinny jeans and MCR T-Shirts they are easily spotted in a crowd and receive a lot of abuse from other stereotype gangs. This stereotype is now expanding into a new era with the group known as [scene kids]. Emo faggots tend to either despise the term "emo" or treasure it, their opinion can base itself on their mood, their company or the time, date or weather. They are also well known to pursue hobbies such as photography, metal or "emo" music listening and the aforementioned poetry and lyric writing. The stereotype is generally shunned by other members of society and the "emos" themselves tend to blame society for their state of minds. Their future is indefinite, however elderly emo's have yet to be sighted in public areas. Search teams have been sent out but currently they have produced no hard evidence to suggest that this mythical species exists. Therefore we can optimisticly assume that "emos" eventually do, in time, reach a more stable mentality. We can also pessimisticly assume that they all die, but the question will only be answered in a half decent fashion after many people who know not very much, write very long books on the subject, and eventually people who know a lot more ignore the books and grow tired of the question, resultinh in them guessing an answer that we shall all assume is correct.

A "person", usually in their early teens, who think that the fact that their parents refuse to buy them a Corvette is the end of the world, and therefore their life is spiraling down a large black hole of deceit and sorrow. The want to express their individuality, but really they are just expressing the individuality of a large group, pretty much making them the very conformists they think they are fighting. Ironic.

So an emo kid tried insulting me today. When I pointed out that he automatically loses any argument he enters due to the fact that he's emo, he ran away crying. Go figure...

Originally a music movement in Washington D.C. combining punk with even faster guitar riffs and screaming, with bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace, emo, or "emocore", became popular on the west coast as well. Most emo bands of this time for breaking guitars on stage, screaming out lyrics, and doing anything else that got people's attention. Basically Jimmy Urine, on crack. Emo's second wave was hit up with a softer more melodic sound with more riffs and songs that were all incredibly long. This came to be with bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker (which later become Jets to Brazil), and Texas is the Reason. Emo went mainstream and got more people's attention with more popular bands today. These bands include Dashboard Confessional and Phantom Planet. Nowadays, it is incredibly hard to know what true emo is as most people think that popular bands like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and My Chemical Romance are emo. However, all of these bands have denied such claims. "emo is bullshit, we're the next Radiohead" -Brendon Urie (lead singer for Panic at the Disco). Emo is now often associated with Screamo. However, this is typically untrue. Hawthorne Heights is under much debate and can be seen as somewhat emo. With songs like Niki FM which follow a second wave emo pattern. Some bands that are NOT emo include: Senses Fail Bullet for My Valentine Aiden Hopes Die Last Alexisonfire Underoath From First to Last The Used The original style of emo was simply whatever you could find at your local thrift store. Combining the style of your grandpa, with that of a nerd. There are many more but these are just a few bands that many believe to be emo. Sorry to all the 13 year old girls who actually thought they were truly emo.

"Oh my God, I love My Chemical Romance\! I'm so emo\!" "Oh really? Because I like Rites of Spring," "Who?"

A type of music that angsty teens listen to while they pretend to cut themselves. Not hard enough to be called Punk but not bubble gum enough to be called pop. Imagine if Punk, Pop, and a little bit Goth got together and had a child. Emo is what you would get every time because it takes a little bit of everything. Just take one band and switch the names around and you basically have every emo band imaginable. The same whiny sounding lead singer, the same sounding guitar solos, the same lyrics just in a different order.

Those people who say that My Chemical Romance is [emo] don't know the physiological level there music is really on. Wow, those guys are so deep and bruting.

Emo is a cross between a goth and a punk. Punks generally wear tight jeans and chains where goths tend to wear lace and have long black hair covering their faces. Emos have all of these. Emos are often misunderstood, they are associated with suicide and self-harm. Emos are the bravest, they dare to see the world for what it is and don't try to cover up the real evil with figments of their imagination. Did anyone ever think that the reason why they lock themselves away is because everyone is always bitchin about them? Emos dare to be different, and as for that emosexual crap the dude who made that word up can go and f*ck themselves\!

Somehow it became popular fad, leading to large populations of emo inhabiting our school systems. Emos can be seen feeding off of bread and water(as most are vegans), wearing tight sriped cotton shirts, tight girls jeans ( all emos seem to be members of the [vajority]), sriped wool scarfs, and cutting themselves in the school bathrooms. Be waery of joining the emos, for once you become one, you can never go back. Just like a [sex change], Coincidence?

They make thir scars in the wierdest places you could ever think of (legs??\!\!\!??\!). They will also act depressed and hopeless and will usually tell everyone that they are emo (which a real emo whould never do). They dont happen to like real emos a lot but will hang out with them just to fit in with the emo style. Overall fake emos SUCK\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!XP

Though it has been defined by many sources - Wikipedia, Andy Greenwald, Andy Radin and such - as a subgenre of punk music in the late 80's, we have to consider that in this modern era, Emo is now defined as anything overly emotional. Associated with this are self-mutilation, skintight clothing, piercings, excessive crying, and I could go on for days. There is no exact, bullseye definition for Emo since it is somehow stuck between being a genre of music, which is what it used to be and; a short-cut term for the word "emotional". But if we talk about now, Emo means emotional. Cutting your wrists, jumping off your window, listening and crying to "emotional" music, drugs, sad relationships, guns, razors, sharp objects, blood, hating, rationality, loving, sex, homosexuality, breaking up, and so much more. It's kind of nonsense to some, but what can we do? It's there and if you don't like it, you'll just have to wait for it to die out.

It is emo to cut yourself.

poser and a fake: (someone who doesnt act like who they are) 1)emo. the classic, wear black, hair in the face-dyed black, listen to depressing music, cry all the time, no friends, sit in a corner, write depressing lyrics or poetry, and cut themselves. 2)we all say preps are fakes and posers. so if thats the case, there aren't truly any preps. they are something else. so preps mock the people who aren't like them, when in reality they are like them but they just hide it. so in the end, a prep is as much as a poser and a fake as an emo is

1. A boy/girl that pretends to be depressed and say their life sux is emo. 2. A fake poser and snob who dresses up in the latest fashions and pretends to like certain things to fit in is the same thing as emo.

A lifestyle chosen by people. Originally was a label of music but has now expanded to a lifestyle. Mostly high schoolers dress "emo". This is currently defined as black straight hair, tight girl pants, band shirts and can include self-mutilation ([cutting]), writing depressive poetry and dressing somewhat dark. For the people who think that "emo" people are fags or queers or anything offensive. You are wrong. Its just how they wish to be. If you are a prep you aren't necessarily rich and happy all the time. Emo should be defined as dressing and acting differently from the current scene of life. Not being 'emotional' or being a 'wannabe goth'.

emo is used the term used to describe emotional and/or depressed(different) people. The people that call kids "emo" are just people that have nothing better to do than to label people. They're too lazy to get to know anyone. If they actually talked to people they would see that "emo" is just a word,a label, not what a person is. People who spend their time labeling people are comformists that do what people expect them to do.

"Emo" is not short for "Emotional." "Emo" does not mean Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional, despite what MTV has lead you to believe in the last few years. "Emo" is not sidebangs, tight pants, and male vocalists who sing like little girls about their failed relationships. "Emo" is not the use of diluted, meaningless metaphors and similes such as "My arms are like pinecones," and most definitely is not the rampant use of words such as "autumn," "heart," "knife," "bleeding," "leaves," and "razorblade." I just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands." Now, onto the real definition. In the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as "Emotive Hardcore," spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term "Emo" as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of "Emotive" Hardcore bands. That's right, "Emo" was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Black And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there's still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records' roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don't quite follow that philosophy. Often, more recently, this gets intertwined with post-hardcore, and understandably so - that's nothing to make an issue of, since well shit, at least it's close. Since the late 90s, though, bands have been emerging in the vein of Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the thousands of their clones. As far as I can tell, some lazy journalist somewhere, writing an article about them, decided "Well, f, no one knows what emo is anyways, so I'll call these bands "emo" - sounds more appealing than bubblegum pop rock..." and the spiral continued downwards into the current amalgomation of bands MTV has told everyone is "emo." Somehow, people decided that "emo" meant "emotional," which is obviously bullshit, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make "emotional" a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap. Hope that helps. Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, and My Chemical Romance falls under the "horrible pop rock" genre, not the emo genre. Rites of Spring is emo

Okay, so there are two very different definitions for the label 'emo'. First version (usually used by non-emos): Emos are attention seekers who live regular lives like every other teenager in Britain but cannot handle the strain as well as everyone else. They say that they are individuals, yet listen to ‘emo music’, hang out in ‘emo groups’ and buy ‘emo clothes’ with their pocket money. They hang out in dark rooms generally ignoring the happy things in life and talk about how depressed they are all the time. Most lie about cutting themselves in order for people to feel sorry for them without actually experiencing any pain at all. Others do it as an ‘initiation’ ceremony in order to become fully emo. ‘Cutting’ is a fad – what on earth does it help? You feel sad, so you cut yourself to make you feel… better? They don’t appreciate what they have, and do not realise how bad other peoples' lives are in comparison to their own. Emo is just an ever-increasingly popular ‘group’ which people want to be part of. It is a group for kids without an identity, looking for a bit of melodrama and ‘deeper levels of understanding’. To be honest, the kids who REALLY have a life not worth living aren’t even in the emo club – they just try to get through each day until it gets better. Second version (usually used by TRUE emos – i.e. those who actually have a reason to be depressed): Kids who have had the misfortune to go through circumstances which are incredibly depressing. For example, parental divorce, death of a loved one, and loneliness. They listen to music which explains how they feel, enjoy hanging around with people who understand how they feel, and buy clothes that express to the world about how they feel. Only some kids cut themselves. Cutting can become addictive, and it distracts from the inner pain. It can be hard when youre labelled in the street because of what you wear, and can sometimes make depression worse. Being a ‘half-emo’ can also mean that you just like black and emo clothes and haircuts, and enjoy gigs and mosh pits. Some people that you like because theyre genuinely nice people, could be emo, and fun to hang around with. Nearly every single teenager has wanted some form of attention or feeling of belonging at some time or other, and being emo could be the solution to some. Don’t hate people because of what they are labelled. Get to know them – they may be more like you than you think.

Person: 'Hey dude, look over there, some damn emos with their black hoodies and weird hair... jeez man theyre such attention seekers' Friend: 'Err... you own a black hoodie, and all they've done is grown their hair long, man.' Person:'Umm... oh be quiet, fool' Cheerleader:'Oh my god, that girl is like, SOO weird - she is like, always DEPRESSED and shit\!' Friend:'Weren't you crying on the phone to me the other night because your boyfriend dumped you? You seemed pretty depressed then...' Cheerleader:'Oh shuttup'

A self-hating waste of life. You just want to cut them yourself because all they do is complain about love they'll never have, (not to mention the friends they could only dream of). Nevermind waiting for them to finally end it all. They have also ruined the fun of wearing certain clothes and coloring your hair or sneakers(not emo, we've been doing that since we were kids) "Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, and My Chemical Romance falls under the "horrible pop rock" genre, not the emo genre." (This happens to be intensley false. These bands are called alternative rock. Fucking MTV and superficial whores made this horrible label happen.)

Emo = Tight Jeans, Converse/Vans, Wear red/black, Cry over having to go home at 10pm because they want to get pissed on white star, Paint tears on there face, Are OTT in how they are and what they wear, can be very attention seeking

There are 2 types of emos, the hardcore proper emos 'emotional' people who are actually upset about real things and keep it 2 themselves And fashion emos who crave attention so cry as much as possible and cut themselves (trying to kill themselves apperently which they never do) and then tell everyone in the world about it

let me get ONE thing straight here: the word "emo" is NOT A NOUN\!\!\! let me say it again... ITS NOT A NOUN\! its an ADJECTIVE\! IF YOU'RE GOING TO VERBALLY ABUSE MY COMPATRIOTS IN PAIN, DO IT RIGHT\! oh and btw... the pants are not girl pants, they're made for guys. not all of us cut ourselves. not all of us sit sobbing all night. no, not all girls like football captains. and NO, we are not retarded. not all of us come from the suburban middle class some of us are perfectly normal, happy people who happen to wear black, enjoy pain, and have our hair over our eyes. i think i'll go post something mean about jocks.

"that person is an emo" is incorrect. "that person is emo" is correct.

ok i'm fucking sick of all these anti emo shit bags and emo posers so let make a few things clear. emo means emotional. they listen to emotional music such as hawthonre heights, the used and my chemical romance. not all emos slit there wrists, you can cry without self mutilation\! as i just said emo's often cry because they don't want to conform to the steriotypical male who shows no emotion besides anger. emo's often write poetry or entrys in there diary. emo fashion tends to focus around long hair cut in a fringe which covers one eye, tight clothes and make-up in particular eyeliner regardless of sex. emo's aren't all posers who put there pictures in the dictionary (not that I mind because most of them are hot\!) and the're not a cheap imitation of [goth]. some emo's are bisexual but then again so are some normal people it doesn't define who you are. EMO'S CAN BE WHOEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT TO BE AND SHOULDN'T BE PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF THERE WAY OF LIFE\!\!\!

emo kids have long hair that cover their eye and face. they wear thick eye liner because they think it makes them look dark and deep. They wear disgustingly tight clothing because emo is one step below transvestite. Emo kids listen to emo music, in which the singer bitches about his shitty life and lost love, and they play the same shitty guitar chord progressions in every single song. emo kids are total and complete flaming homosexuals like the famous butt fucker mike payne. Nobody ever moves or dances at an emo show, they just stand on their and observe. emo kids have no real problems in life but they love to pretend like they do. they sit in the dark all day and cut themselves and then cry themselves to sleep at night. Nobody likes emo kids becuase they are incredibly annoying and they are complete faggots who have no soul and dont deserve to live.

They wear band t-shirt, tight black drainpies, have studded belts, pearl necklaces and go to [afflecks palace] They tend to slit their wrists.

Many people have used the word "emo" as a bad thing. I read definitions from 5 people, all used this definition: "Angry teenagers who dress in black and act miserable around others" That, however, is not the definition of emo. That is in fact the definition of goth. The real definition, excluding all stereotypes and falsehoods, is: People, ages 13 & up, who feel emotional. Thus, emo. Most emotions expressed are 1. Anger at the world 2. Saddness at a tragic event (death, near-death experience, ect.) After some began to dress in black, it began the stereotype. Again, they are not to be confused with [goths] who are, as defined by ones I've met, mostly Wickens and dress in black and all that. Emo's are often angry at the world because many people can be idiots (that is slightly an inside joke, but not quite. So please don't reject this) Another stereotype is that emos are miserable around people. This is completely untrue. I, actually being emo myself, am quite perky around people and am only angry when alone. Most emos are loners, that part is true, but only because of the aforementioned reasons. Ironically, the reason I an writing this is the exact same reason I am emo. Far too many people make these mistakes, so I am hoping the world will read this and for once, understand what they're actually talking about.

The band Green Day is considered an "emo" band due to their tendency to write songs such as "American Idiot," which uses terms on how America is controlled by the media, and making many mistakes, making them angry.

Short for emotional-hardcore: An 80's subgenre of hardcore punk which in itself is a genre of punk rock, used to define creative, angsty, and melodromatic bands that WERE PUNK, yet at the same time, to creative and knowing too many guitar chords to be classified as punk. The term was invented by fans of Rites of Spring, a hardcore punk band looking to break out of the D.C. hardcore punk scene and create a unique sound. Emotional-hardcore, often shortened to emocore, or emo, was very short lived, as were many of the bands in it. After emo came indie, post-hardcore, screamo, and post-emo. The term has been borrowed by asshole teenagers that constantly shop at Hot Topic, wear skinny jeans, black eye liner, and hear infront of their eyes, and listen to nothing but pop punk, metalcore, the pussified version of death metal, and post-hardcore. How to identify emo: -IF THE BAND IS NOT A PUNK BAND, THEN THEY ARE NOT AN EMO BAND. -IF THE BAND USES GUTTURAL VOCALS, HAS A BREAKDOWN, OR HAS A DOUBLE BASS, THEY AREN'T EMO. -IF THE LYRICS ARE "POETIC" PIECES OF CRAP ABOUT EX-GIRLFRIENDS, SUICIDE, OR SUICIDE, THEY AREN'T EMO. -YOU ARE NOT EMO. -IF THE BAND IS AROUND TODAY, AND IS INFLUENCED BY HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS, THEY ARE NOT EMO. The Northern Eastern SCENE KID that wears nothing but black is somehow mistaken for emo, but is sadly, still scene kid.

Scene kid, "I just bought the new Alesana CD, 'Where Myth Fades to Legend, they're so emo, Shawn cries at the end of track 9 *pretends to be sad*'". Kid who knows better, "Woah, there are still emo bands around? I didn't even know you liked punk". Scene kid, "No, they aren't punk, they're a metal/emo/screamo band. Shawn is so hott." Kid who knows better, "You're a fucking idiot." Some real emo bands are: -Rites of Spring -Cap'n Jazz -Mineral -Frodus Some bands idiotically mistaken for emo are: -Fall Out Boy -Hawthorne Heights -Alesana -Saosin -My Chemical Romance -30 Seconds to Mars -Bring Me the Horizon -Attack\! Attack\! (the U.S. band) -Drop Dead Gorgeous -Suicide Silence -A Day to Remember -Saosin -The Jonas Brothers (it's been said) -Paramore -Flyleaf -Bullet for My Valentine -Good Charlotte -Sunny Day Real Estate

Often associated with gothic, but a fake cheap demeaning version. Something that annoys everyone that isnt emo. Something thick people take up to fit in, much like cigarettes. Started off as a music genre, went out of control. Someone who calls themself emo immediately degrades themself. A phase. Ruining the world. Has anyone noticed that you cant do anything without someone calling you emo? Like now if you dye your hair black, paint nails black, be alone for a while, dont smile often, or wear a bit more black than the average person, YOU ARE EMO. It is very frustrating for people who did these things BEFORE emo even became this epidemic, like me, because they put effort in to be something they are not, but i do it naturally and people think im trying to be emo. I get called emo all the time, but the people who call me it are stupid idiots that are only making the crisis worse. You know what? People call NAPOLEON DYNAMITE emo\! THAT IS INSANE\!\!\!\!\!\! Like WTF?\!?\!?\! Its napoleon dynamite for fuck sake\! You know what else? The rolling stones got called emo\! ACDC got called emo\! Judas priest got called emo\! Its so hard these days for people to tell whether someone is a tryhard emo poser or not. I HATE EMO. You should hate emo. It is destroying teenagers and uniquity. It cheapens everything. It demeans everything. Its so SIMPLE. Do you want to be SIMPLE? Do you want to be BORING? Do you want people to roll their eyes everytime you are mentioned? If not, then please resist from being emo. The only person that can stop it before it gets out of contol, is you. Think about it. **DEATH TO EMO**

One way an emo is created: girl: that boy over there has long black hair that covers his face. He wears nail polish. He wears make up. WOW he is so in touch with his feminine side. He is so unique\! Im gonna go ask him out. *girl walks up to emo poser cock boy* emo poser cock boy: What do you want? To steal my soul with your vulgar bullying? ...even know i dont know what that means. girl: no i want you, your so... different. emo poser cock boy: okay but only if you become emo and cut yourself. Only then wil i let into my blackened soul girl: okay i have to go now and follow emo stereotypes. bye emo poser cock boy: bye... *girl walks off* emo poser cock boy: wow girls really like this emo thing. I better be more emo and follow even more strerotypes\! This is just one of the many ways this stupid disease spreads and gets worse.

Someone who dresses a certain way (you know the emo look) to maintain a stereotype. People SHOULD be able to wear skinny legs and loads of eyeliner etc. without it being emo or posery, but now they cant because no one cant tell the difference between people who like tight jeans etc. and someone who wears them soley for a look. My advice, sacrifice wearing tight jeans etc., they dont look good anyway. If possible try to create your own look, or not even a look, just be a person with clothes on, FUCK what people think. "Fuck what people think? Your saying to not wear certain things so people wont have an opinion. Thats what YOU think. Are you not a person?" I hear you say? Well if you dont care what people think you wont TRY to wear emo things and believe your unique. Having THAT hairstyle and being 'emotional' doesnt make you unique people. If you are trying to do that you are only getting sucked into this whirlpool of bullshit

Wondering what an emo is? simply picture this... a teenager aged from 12 to 17 (usually look about 7-9) who have either black, red, purple or other weird colour of hair, usually in a slanted 45 degree angle across the face who actually enjoy reading depressing poetry, hating life, wearing black and stripy clothes(kind of copying [moshers]), standing completely still at [gigs] and forming bands with no sense of rhythm or originality. Also, women emo's sometimes aspire to look like a man as to seriously embarrass anyone meeting them who can't figure out what sex they are... they tend to only hang around with other emos or try to hang around with [moshers] and hate anybody who does not see the world through their selfish, ungrateful [pussy] eyes. P.S. Be carefull, if encountering emo or listening to emo conversation cover your ears and run as they usually enjoy pointless unfunny [randomness] which to us sounds like the [insane] ramblings of a mental patient who quickly realized that boiling water is hot. But to them it serves as almost a complex second language in which they can have in depth conversations about how much they hate being like others that's why they're emos and how those africans are all starving like dirty conformists.

Emo's are people that actually hope that other people are making it very well. They arent afraid to express when they are having a bad day or a good day, unlike many people who are fixed on being happy 24/7 365 days a year and dont cry when a their mom or brother dies, or smiles when someone is murdered and then go and date OJ Simpson or Phil Spector, or some pimpish whorrish bastard. No emos arent built like that, they wont date or marry anyone just for money or fame or power, they wont marry someone who has supermodel looks if they dont have a good heart and soul, because they have very good hearts and souls not the oppisite as may people these days such as ones who leave nast comments on this forum. Yes Emos cry when they loose loved ones sorry to admit that, I know that is horrendous. Emos arent afraid to express their "emotions" such as when they are angry sad insane happy, thankful, hateful loving ect, they dont get turn their own pain and suffering in life into power, with a good kind of -anger. Many Emos who realize there are really evil people in the world so they have developed many self defense fighting tactics such as the "Dim Mak" and thats why they carry a gun just in case they have to save a life of other people including his/her own life. So in those respects they should be regarded as heros and Gods people, and everyone should highly love and respect them, if tehy dont want burn in hell.

One day there was an emo walking down the city street and saw 2 men trying to kidnapp a precious little girl and boy away from their Mother, so the emo ran after the kidnappers and shot them both dead and it made em all famous\!:)

Emo is short for emotional, or emotionally hard-core. It is used to define either hard-core music, a hard-core style of clothing, and even lifestyles. The most common use of the term is to describe one who is clinically depressed, and possibly cuts themselves, writes depressing poetry, seems homosexual, wears eyeliner, usual attire is black,overreacts to small problems often and even writes suicide notes.

An emo person An emo song (lyrics: slit my wrist, etc.) Emo clothing (usually black, BUT NO FISHNETS\! FISHNETS ARE GOTH\!\!\! Thick eyeglasses, wristbands,etc) Emo styled hair (black, bangs hang in face & usually cover up one eye) Emo bands- My Chemical Romance, the Cure, Jimmy Eat World, Placebo, Hawthorne Heights, etc. Anything really depressing

841. (Emo) (6↑, 12↓)
A subspecies of humanoid-like creatures that have pale white pelts and often have large tufts of black hair covering most of their bodies. Emos, also 'Emo Kids', have very lonely, whiney personalities. Emo Kids have a strong tendency to cry even when the slightest mishap affects their daily lives. Sometimes, once in a blue moon, an Emo Kid may turn aggressive because of this. It is best to stay away from an Emo Kid, because one of these two things will happen if you don't: a) The Emo Kid will rip you to shreds with it's vampiric teeth and it's Freddy Krouger claws. (This is extremely rare. Often, aggressive Emos are called Goth. It's a very common misconception that all emos are goths, but this is very untrue.) b) This is the more common one. You too will dye your hair black, wear tight-fitting clothing, and listen to fake wannabe bands like My Chemical Romance. Now, if you do want to stay away from Emo Kids, here is what to look out for: . Snow White skin. . Most Emos have either no eyes or only one eye. Look out for this the most. . Black hair. . Tight jeans. . Tons of mascara and eyeliner. Sometimes, glitter and red eyeshadow may also be involved. . A black shirt that says something faggish such as 'I don't love you.' . Black boots. . A tie. Most female Emos own one. . Hm. Sometimes, Emos may be wearing arm socks, but telling you to stay away from people in arm socks is a little over the edge. I myself wear arm socks, but I hate Emo Kids. xD . Lots of crying. Emo Kids are very emotional. Therefore, Emo Kids should cry almost every hour on the hour. Emo Kids cry at every single thing, even happy things that happen to them. . The last and final thing. This would be: Cuts down the wrist and sometimes even on the legs. Most Emos hide such things, but if you are very sharp-eyed, you will notice such things right away. Emo Kids are horrible liars. And always keep in mind that Emo Kids may think that their lives are horrible, but they probably live in nice houses with a pool and have a large family. Do not be fooled, and this subspecies will not tamper your normal life. =D See also: The reason the world's future is going down the drain.

Emo Kid: -sob- OHMAGAD\!\!\! I FERGOT MAH GJAKIT IT HUME\! =( Normal person: Don't be such a wreck, it's 82 degrees outside.

There are four definitions of the word "emo" 1. A type of music that originally formed in New England, consisting of a mix of hard rock and punk. 2. A bunch of pussies that think their life is so bad when they have a perfect life (good grades, big house, a family, everything they want), so they cut themselves to prove something that only "they" understand. 3. A bunch of followers that make themselves emo after watching an "emo" (see number 2) band it on Fuse of MTV. then they make their lives "horrible" by taking that fad with them. 4. A group of people of maniac depressives that HAVE had a lot of shit go wrong in their lives. The absence of one parent of two parents to death, or being made fun of since the beginning of kindergarden, or having a mental problem that unwillingly gets you depressed, and requires pills, most of which they won't get). These are the REAL emos, the ones that are actually emotionally unstable because of stuff they had no control over. This often leads to great amounts of violence and/or a ton of screaming.

1: Man, this emo musics freakin great\! 2. My parents knew I wanted a 900 dollar camera, not the 800 one\! I hate them\! *gets a razor blade out* 3. That style looks awesome... *next day* I hate life... 4. I HATE YOU\! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE\! YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT ITS LIKE TO LOSE EVERYONE YOU LOVE\! GO BACK TO YOUR PERFECT LITTLE LIFE AND LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE\!\!\!\!\! *goes insane and hooks (punches) the next person in the face to talk to them*

They follow trends. A dead cat, girl's clothes, makeup, over-emotional is what they think is unique. But what us normal people call pathetic. They make a big thing of nothing when they are "lonely" and an overwhelming tendancy to like the same sex, and wonder why they get turned down and get "hurt". Thus, they are sheep.

Emo stands for [Emotive Hardcore]. It's not the clothes, or the people. It's the music. You can't dress 'emo' and become 'emo' You can't be a music style. And if your trying, stop now. Emotive hardcore was first experimented after the punk era, with bands deciding to focus on a more emotional side. Emotive hardcore, shows emotion, but so does alot of rap and classical music. People who 'cut' aren't neccessarily 'emo'. Imagine this. We like to relate to things. To books, to life, to music. So If you have emotional feelings, bad past experiences, you relate to songs that are about that (Emotive Hardcore), Thats why emos are called depressed, because alot of people see meaning in the lyrics and can relate. So 'emo's' aren't the happiest bunch. But logically, 'emo's' don't exist.

Emotive hardcore -\> 'softer' music created following the punk era.

A whiny little bitch feeling sorry for themselves, hates the government (with a passion), wears retartedly tight clothes, especially pants and often wears a ridiculous amount of checkered stuff. (Dont forget the half-bleached hair). They serve no purpose and should all be sent to a remote isolated island so they can cry and cut themselves to Fall Out Boy, Panic? At The Disco and My Chemical Romance (among others). Usually will never admit being emo and will become increadibly defensive and occasionally violent when called emo (usually embarassing themselves because they have a blood loss due to too much cutting).

Wow, Richard is so emo, have you seen the words "Fall Out Boy" that he cut into his arm?

Emos are NOT a bunch of depressed dramaqueens who slit their rists, that is just another one of those stereotypes which sad, bored people come up with because they like to pin labels on everything so its easier for them to judge them. 'Emo'is simply a term for someone who has more to them then sex, drugs and drinking. I for one would be a lot happier dating an emo as they aren't only interested in getting in a girl's pants like most boys and they also listen to kickass music other then the cRAP that chavs listen to.

Labeller: Oh, there's someone wearing black\! He HAS to be an emo. That's weird, why aren't his rists covered in scars?? OMG my whole world has gone crazy, how is it possible that someone can wear black and not cut themselves????

In a nut shell... Emo (the style) consists of a group of people who are very musically unrefined--like to listen to choppy, cheap, bands that haven't been signed yet. They wear dark, skinny clothes and in general immediately look nonconforming on site. emo (music) sometimes refers to the music that emos (style) listen to, but not always. Emo music consists of lyrics based off of lost girlfriends and how much one's life sucks. The singing is usually equivalent to semi-acceptable karaoke.

Dude, that kid is so emo it scares me. Emo music is cheap.

The modern concept of "emo" was invented by bands such as My Chemical Romance. Fans (usually teenagers and people in their early 20's) of their music moulded themselves to fit the stereotype of a miserable, self-harming, depression lover. They dress in the outfits of the bandmembers they like, usually including clothing like black skinny jeans, scribbled-on converse all-stars, band t-shirts, black-rimmed glasses (even though most dont actually need to wear glasses) and conforming "cover-one-eye" dyed black haircuts. Key differences between emos and people with genuine mood disorders (eg, clincal depression, dysthymia, bipolar disorder etc) is that they enjoy being depressed, they enjoy having the status of being a self-harmer because they want to fit in with the emo group. For example, often it is the case that emos post images of their scars and even give other emos advice on how to self harm. Genuine depressives do not want to be miserable; they acknowledge how their lives have been damaged and would genuinely try anything not to have depression, even if it meant covering up their mental health problem in order to have a life. Genuine self-harmers often cover their scars and most of the time they are only ever found out by mistake. To emos, being depressed is something they like being because it lets them fit in with the emo crowd.

Q1:Why did you cut yourself? Emo:I went on this cool site and the people on it said that if you're having a bad day cutting helps. Plus all my friends do it anyway. A person with a geniune mental health problem: I have no other way of dealing with my mh problems, I do it so I can get through them and live my life like everyone else does.

Emo Closely related to Immature. Can be defined as to be the worst possible kind of social status yet impressiveley illustrious. Basic signs of being emo include: 1. Wearing of clothes from the opposite sex(preferably tight and black) 2. Listening to noise (what they call music) that includes no musicality at all. 3. In some cases, same sex smooches. (Females smooches are hot) Males on the other hand, NOT COOL and TOTALY GAY. 4. They deal with their problems in a very immature manner by cutting (They also say that cutting means coolness) and making compositions/poems and other stuff that wont even pass as reading materials for children. 5. Actually you don't need signs to know what emos look like or wher they are, they are almost anywhere including hell (heaven is off-limits to emos, even Satan hates them but he managed to find a deep hole in hell to keep them away from real people that died). 6. If your reading this and your emo, don't be offended. What you are reading is the real world outside yours.

The world needs the anti-emo version of Hitler...

short for "emotional punk" started in the 90's with bands like fugazi. i dont like them, but hey what do i know. emo is a type of music not a fashion trend, or hair-do. emo doesnt mean "im going to go cut myself." that is a [massicist]. i listen to emotional punk, and i have no desire to cut myself, or cut my hair so that it drapes my face. if you call this genre of music "emo," then you might as well call everything from country to rap emo, because the majority is all about heartache or tragedy.

"that kid has tight pants, and wierd hair\! i bet he cuts himself, and then cries himself to sleep everynight\!" thats not emo.

857. (emo) (11↑, 17↓)
Emo doesn't mean a trend where people where tight pants, or listen to sad or depressing music. It also doesn't mean an angsty or up-tight person. It isn't a fad, it's a word. Emo isn't a word to describe someone who cuts themselves, it's someone who is "EMOTIONAL". Doesn't mean that they are going to kill themselves or they are gay, it means they express their emotions outloud. It doesn't mean they walk around with their friends and call themselves emo. Those people aren't emo, they are trying to be part of the scene.

That boy just shared his emotions with me, and told me in a direct fashion, he can be considered emo. (Correct) He cuts himself, he must be emo. (Incorrect) He cuts himself, he must be depressed/trying to act cool.(scene)

Its another genre of people, music and personalitites. There can be a lot of definitions for emo, depending on how you personally look at it. A majority of people believe it is a classification for music. Mostly the music will consist of very emotion lyrics and lots and lots of guitars. Expect [screamo]. If you believe it to be a type of person they will generally wear black with black or unaturally colored hair usually with choppy layers and bangs. They generally wear shoes that are checkered, black, and are usually doodled on. Ex. [VANS], [Converse], [DVS], [Etnies], [DC], and [NSS] Emo personalitites are sad and mopey. Usually they cry, maybe not in front of anyone, but they do. Sometimes the [cut]or [burn] to relieve stress. Poetry.Drawings. Anything atristic.

Used to refer to the breed of teen who listened to(and "related to") soft punk music, dyed their hair black, made a habit of inflicting pain to themself (such as the sliting of the wrists), wear black stovepipes that are too small, dress entirly in black, and act overly moody/unloved; Now its been so overused that anyone who has the slightest fringe, listens to any type of rock music often, or wears any one piece of black clothing is stamped with title emo. You don't realy even need to be over emotional as the name suggests or listen to the music (which in most peoples opinion are the two main emo propeties) anymore to earn the title.

1.) "You're an emo cos if those jeans were black they'd be emo jeans." 2.) Jim: "Have you heard the new blink 182 song?" Bob: "Omg, i didnt know you turned emo." 3.) "You're such an emo, why did you get a fringe?"

861. (emo) (197↑, 203↓)
A term teens give to themselves when they feel that life has become pointless. What they don't realize is that when they say "No one understands me" there are hundreds of normal people that don't like life as much as the "emo" people do, and they just deal with it. Emo people are just hungry for attention, and they believe that this attention will get them somewhere. The irony is, you'd think that given how much they hate life, you never see an emo person actually kill themselves and get rid of it, rather, they continue posing and getting all the attention they can.

Normal person: What's with you? Emo Person: My life is closing in, and I'm unloved and no one understands the pain I go through. Normal Person: Um, sorry but Everyone goes through life, you're no different. Emo Person: You don't understand. You've never hurt yourself to get to the next day. Normal person: Uh, if it sucks that much, why do you look forword to tommorrow to bring pain and suffering instead of killing yourself and ending the pain alltogether? Emo Person: ...*silence*... Normal person: Poser...

Most people who call themselves "emo" aren't even really emo. They are stupid teenagers, usually between the ages of 12 and 16. They listen to bands like "My Chemical Romance" and "Fallout Boy", which, in they're twisted minds, makes them cool. They spend the day at school, causing drama, but at the same time act like they hate it. They're also very attention craved and will make up stories to get more of it. You'll see a lot of "emo's" on myspace, posting pictures they took with their new $250 digital camera. They'll put the pictures in black and white, cover their face with their bangs, and even take the picture blurry to attempt to appear better looking. They'll also take pictures at ridiculous angles, sometimes revealing their chests, not so inconspicuously. They tend to have screen names with a lot of "X's" in them like, xXxBrokenXheartxXx and XXcrystalxtearzxX. They tend to hang out at fast food restraints such as Burger King and Mc. Donald’s. BEWARE\! Associating with an "emo" will only bring trouble, because, in fact they aren't really emo, but attention craved morons.

People: a bunch of retards who think they have absolutely nothing to live for and thus complain about everything about their life. Some act completely bipolar and others get off to cutting themselves. Music: a bunch of queers who whine, not sing, about things such as killing their loved ones, killing themselves, and various other phrases including bleed, kill, bullet, knife, love, or any other gay phrase having to do with death, love, or emotions. This genre of music is talentless, sucks, and should never, ever, be played or listened to by anyone as it will slowly cause that person to become a whining little pussy.

Bands such as My Chemical Romance, Bullet for my Valentine, AFI, and any others I did not mention because it sickens me to. (If any one I know who is emo happens to read this, sorry it's just that I absolutely HATE anything emo. It gets on my nerves soooooo bad.)

A bunch of whiny, white, middle class teenagers. Can go on a week long emotional rollercoaster just because someone finished all the Coco Pops. Emos normally tend to have a lot of msn/myspace friends. Do not be alarmed, it is not because theyre well liked, actually, emos manifest with other emos which creates this large whiny group of teenagers. Emos have long, greasy, unwashed hair, which is required to cover at least 2/3 of the face. Emo music is commonly known as soft-cock punk, often containing seemingly-castrated emos singing in whiny high-pitched voices. Found in corners, normally crying, the male emo attracts the female emo by either writing a soft-cock emo song containing droning guitar riffs or striking a conversation on how much life sucks. Characterised by the movement of their heads, as every 2 meters they walk they swing their heads in an attempt to stop their greasy hair sticking to their face. If an emo is contemplating suicide by cutting his/her wrists, remember to remind him/her, it's down the road, not across the street. Preferred killing method is disemowelment, do not decapitate, theyre just like roaches. Preferred bait for emos are iPods or Chucks signed by Fallout Boy. It is really very satisfying to punch an emo, try it some time. If you ever see an emo walking the street, be sure to run him/her down with your car. The fewer the better.

Unlike what most people think, emo has multiple definitions. 1. Emo is a type of goth, like Victorian/Romantic, Classic, and Rivet Heads. They're just goths with a different view point and taste in fashion. 2. Emo can be a putdown to goths. 3. They can be regualr people that want to be goths. Goth-posers, if you will. These are the ones people normally talk about when they're insulting emos in general.

1. Hmm, I'm depressed and goth, and I like my bangs cut slanted. YAY EMO. 2. *to goth* "You emo pussy\!" 3. Preppy rich kid: "I wanna look moody and sensitive." 2nd rich kid: "Yeah, chicks dig sensitive."

THE biggest discrace to humanity. Emos are self pittying rejects that do not have anythning better to do with their time than blow it on crying in a darkened corner and cutting themselves with either razorblades or broken glass. It is also an embarassment to the music empire. Emo bands often create weak guitar rifts and sing of their "tortured souls" and "broken lives". They also have horrible stage presence and deserve to be whipped and have their bones broken one by one so that then they REALLY WILL have something to bitch and moan about. Emos are also a waste of precious oxygen

Basically, all "emo looking" people, are just that. Most who consider themselves emo have probably never heard of Emotive Hardcore. I think these days, the meaning of emo has just become "emotional (looking, and acting) wreck" although, in most cases, these kids are quite happy or atleast content with their lives. In other cases, kids get so into the emo scene that they start to depress themselves. It is just a phase for most and they will grow out of it... well, the ones that don't slash themselves up too badly.

Emo people are realist. Just because you are emo that doesn't mean you don't believe in God. People misunderstand emo people so much. I just wanted to inform people what emo is not.

Depression is also not alway emo\!

the people that you make fun of because you have nothing better to do. the people that you think do things for attention, when really, you know nothing about them. the people that have mood swings.. good or bad, they have them. the people that no, you may not understand, but that's not always the case. the people who may be scene, BUT THEY AREN'T THE SAME FUCKING THING.

if a person smiles a lot, but you notice cuts on their wrists & discomfort around certain people, they may be emo.

You can tell emo kids because they never refer to themselves as emo. they're always 'scene' or something like that. They'll try to talk to you about how emo is the incorrect classification of their culture. They whine and moan about the true origins of emo, etc... This is a dead give away for an emo. Other than that they're really the same as gothics, hardcores, punks or whatever misguided angst filled teenagers filled with hate are calling themselves now. there are no black emos. period.

Me: What it do emo [biddie]? Emo Biddie: OMG\! R U KIDDING ME?? i am not Emo i am Scene\! there is not such thing as emo\! your just a puppet of the corporations like mtv that try to define me and my subculture... Me: Woah\! Slow your roll, i didnt ask fo no life story\! I Just wants to know the happy haps\! Emo Biddie: I tried to kill myself by holding my breath but it didnt work.

Emo just means emotional it does not mean that you sit alone in your room and cut your self and do drugs. Most emos don't do drugs, cut themselves, have eating disorders or and of that garbage. Pretty much the most radical part of being emo is just being a vegetarian. Being emo is not a bad thing either

There are Plenty of emos who i know and love but one who i can just think of off the top of my head is Pete Wentz he does not do drugs he does not cut himself the most radical thing he does is wear eyeliner. and as a mater of fact i am emo the most radical thing i have done is gone Veg.

Okay. I'm gonna give you my insight on the word emo. Emo isn't: - Wrist slitting - Suicide thinking - Tight jean wearing - Scarves year-round - Face covering hair - Converse - Depresing music with pointless choruses -Crazy eye make-up Emo has concepts which are hidden behind stereotypes and MTV's lies. Emo isn't simply a way to dress. Nor is it an easy way to get girls. Emos may wear tight clothes and worn out shoes. Worn our shoes are comfortable and band t-shirts support your favorite bands. Crying shows your not made of stone. Writing poetry shows creativity. Emos usually write poetry about things that have happened recently in their lives. Sometimes this helps them get better insight on what happened and helps them get through it. I know it helps me get through everything. Some may even write songs. Emos usually have a reason to be emotional such as being raped, beaten, or ignored as a child, especially by someone you love. Cutting has been stereotyped to emos. Not all [cutters] are emos and not all emos are cutters. Emo music is brought from the writters' experience in relationships and family issues in some case. I believe the music tells kids that they're not alone in the world. Sometimes you need that feeling when you feel alone and useless. For everyone that thinks emos all sit in dark corners and cry as they slit their wrists, I think you're wrong. They may sit in dark corners and they might cry, but it's not your problem. You don't like them then stay away from them. They are coping with their own problems that don't need to put up with the shit you're giving them too. Get a fucking life. If you have nothing better to do then make fun of them, you must be a fucking loser.

Losers w/ no life ragging on emos. Kyle- Dude, did you see that emo kid? Matt- I know dude, did you see his eyeliner? What the fuck is up with that? Kyla- Dude, I know. His pants were like so fucking tight. You could practically see his dick. Matt- Dude, why do you know that???

Emo is basically the bastard child of the Nu wave movement from the 80's, but worse. Emo kids tend to be depressed and annoying (not always mind you, there are all way exceptions). Most are cowards and will not fight their own fights but rather gather as many of their freinds as possiable to jump one person. They wear tight sweaters, girls jeans and converses. Recently they have taken to wearing bandana around their necks and faces. Oddly enough the Emo girls tend to look more like boys and the boys like girls.

Dude, those emo kids dress like fags.

Short for emotional. There is also the music label "Emo", and that too is also emotional. Emos can be straight, gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Emos aren't necessarily weird because they're different from you. Some emos dress like goths. It really doesn't matter about what you wear. It's all about how you act. ALSO: If an someone cuts him/herself, and they're only doing it for attention, THEY ARE NOT EMO. I've cut myself, not for attention though. It felt better than crying. Mainly it's a label. Other people may label you, or you can label yourself. Some emos are suicidal. Some are just emo because they have the mental illness called depression. Don't judge emos, they don't deserve it.

Online: Emo: I feel so sad today... Why does this always happen to me?\! It seems like nothing good ever happens to me\!\! *cries* A happy, cheerful, maybe preppy person: Ah, today sucked. Oh well. There's always tomorrow\!\! *smiles cheerfully*

Emo is a [subculture] that originated from [goth], which itself originated from [punk]. Bluntly put, Emos are Goths on [estrogen]. The subculture revolves around self-deprecation, which is the result of serious [depression]. Most emos are '[posers]' that do not actually have any [mental] conditions. The whole emo subculture has been a [commercial] creation since it's inception, with all emo [bands] and clothing made by corporations worth millions. This contrasts with the original mentalities behind punk, emos father of sorts. The attitude of emo also greatly contrasts with the gothic mentality, the direct father of emo. Emo [music] runs true to the emo [spirit], with '[cry-baby]' lyrics. The music is generally similar to the [pop-punk] movement of the [90's]. Some [diehard] emos try to find some [credibility] with the subculture, but they all fail miserably. Emo is something of a laughing stock within the alternative music community, alongside other [overrated] [fads] such as [sXe] ([Straight Edge]). Emo is slowly losing [popularity] as the new [MySpace], [FaceBook] and [liveJournal] fad '[Scene]' is creeping in. WARNING: If you intend to emo it up, slice up, not across. Actually, if you are Emo, SLICE ACROSS\! Do us all a favour.

Tweek: Hey Ricky, what's up? Ricky: Go away, I'm cutting. Tweek: What?\! Why? Ricky: Because I got called an emo today, and I'm totally misunderstood. Tweek: Fuck you, stupid bitch Emo\! Ricky: I'm not an Emo\! -cries and slices-

A musical genre that originated in the 1990's. People are normally associated with emo. It is a stereotype. ALL STEREOTYPES ARE BAD. but.. Emo. How to describe? Most emo bands are catergorized by screaming and lyrics like "cut my wrist and black my eyes" (from Ohio is For Lovers//Hawthorne Heights). The band members normally wear make-up but what bands don't? Some even go to the extremes of wearing female clothes (most emo bands are all male) and thick black make-up around their eyes to have them appear beaten up. Emo bands are never put on MTV or FUSE. they are thought to be to depressing and inappropriate for their viewers. I'm not saying emo is a bad thing. or a good thing for people. "Emo kids" are normally known to self-abuse. They will cut themselves. or burn themselves. give themselves bruises. or any other way of self-harm. They are known to walow in their own agony and write depressing poems about suicide and pain. Most "emo kids" are made fun of on a daily basis about their clothes or make-up. Anybody that does that is a bitch. I dont care if you're the fucking president.. you just don't do that\! emo and goth are NOT the same. emo and scene are NOT the same. emo and sXe are not the same. emo and chav are not the same. mmmmmkay? emo is a stereotype all in its own. all stereotyping is bad. accept someone for who they are. not how they look.

(some a-hole) damn emo kids.. (me) shut up. they are people. (some a-hole) but look at their clothes\! (me) look at yours\! do you want to be called a fag? (some a-hole) well no.. but.. (me) didn't think so.

Emo is often confused with Emotional Sensitivity, and is more often linked to boys then girls, because of the so very 'unmanly' manner in which an emo boy acts. Male emotional senstivity is a guy who does not feel the urge to be a macho pea-brained asshole whos only emotion is arrogance and violent anger. A sensitive male realizes that guys can cry, and say the word 'beautiful'. They can also like flowers and admit that there are other guys out there that are hot, and do lots of other 'gay' things while completely content with their heterosexuality. (an interesting thing about this is that it is quite ok for girls to sit on each other's lap and hug and go to the washroom together etc etc and not be considered homosexual, but if a guy strikes up a random conversation on the bus with another guy, he's a [faggot].) This being said, an EMO (short for emotional) is someone (guy or girl) who has taken the dark, evil, brooding, shadowy and mysterious genre that goes by the name of goth, and mutilated it into a subculture of whiney sniveling teenagers. An emo is someone who dresses very similar to a goth, wearing makeup and black clothes, but is easily defined often by the lopsided swooping haircut that causes them to be half blind all the time. A goth makes you uncomfortable standing next to them on a long bus ride, and if done right are dark and creepy and cool looking. Take the band Type O Negative, for example. View Pic: (urbandic seems to add random spaces so check before pasting into browser and remove any you see) www.geneticdisorder.net/Rock%20On %20Web%20Photos/typeonegative.jpg Emos most of the time have a look of eternal sorrow pasted on their face, and spend their time whining because life is so tragically devestating and heartwrenching. They cry and snivel and cut themselves to gain attention, as opposed to the noble masochistic origin of the hobby. When you see an emo you will want to puke because of how synthetically pretty and childish they look, and then drop kick them. Emos have ruined the very normal practice that is talking about emotionally hard times to someone close. "How are you today?" 'Well, to be honest, I feel really lonely. I sit at home more than I'd like and don't really have (m)any friends. *shrugs apathetically*' "zOMG... Don't be so emo..." '...You asked how I was. I am telling you honestly how I am feeling.' "EMO. Cry me a river... *emo tear*" This video will familiarize you instantly to what an emo is, if you are still confused in any way: (again, remove any spaces) http://youtube.com/watch?v=JMvMzQ4Vu-8

I'm gonna kick the shit out of those whiney emo faggots.

emo is mostly a type of music...but i cant say that people arent emo themselves. emo is not a bad thing for every oser who thinks its is. most emo people do not hate the world or themselves at all. some just have shitty lives. emo people are very in touch with their emothions and have major mood swings. they are all really friendly and sweet people. they care about everyone they talk to. they also deeply long for love in their lives and have alot to give. they want more then surface feelings and they weant more out of relationships then just ass. they may listen to loud screaming music or seemingly horrid songs but if u ever take the chance to look at the lyrics...they r accutally really meaningful. not all of them cut either so get that idea outta ur mind. and even if they do...who the fuck cares...r they bothering you? do they try to get u to do it? NO. so leave them be. people really need to stop judging based on stereotypes and images. maybe black is just their favorite color? maybe they happen to like wearing tight pants? who the fuck cares. its their personality that matters most so shut up and stop calling everyone emo...because its not just emo ppl who r called emo everyday...if someone looks depressed ppl go aww man wtf do u look so emo today? its like seriously SHUT THE FUCK UP. let people be who they are and just fucking deal with it. dont call people emo...its not ur call. EMO ISNT EVEN A REAL WORD in my opinion.

no one is emo unless THEY say they are. kid - im emo cuz i feel like it...even if it is just a type of music and not even a real word. other kid - ok fine...its ur life.

emo has become a commonly used term which really degrades the real definition. For instance high schoolers who miss turning in their homework say they are going to become emo, if they break up with their girlfriends they are feeling suicidal, if they can't go anywhere for spring break they are going to cut their legs off. these are gross exaggerations that are often used mostly by non-emo high schoolers. the definition of emo is someone (usually a teenager) who is depressed, suicidal, and self-mutilates. it really is no laughing matter, because alot of emo's kill themselves before they can get help, and heres a few facts just to clear things up; emo's are not goths, and they are not mello dramatic teens, often emos have seriously messed up worlds, and family lives. As weird as it sounds to the non emo the taking out all your aggression through cutting can be an amazing release.

Also, you often can't tell when you are in the presence of an emo, not the real emo's, they are the quiet kids who seem to have life all put together, or the ones everyone gave up on. being an emo is no joke, but hey that's just the opinion of a past emo.

A subgenre of hardcore music originating mainly from the D.C. hardcore punk scene in the late 1980s. The word is an abreviation of 'emocore'. Hardcore was mainly about politics and anger. Fugazi were the first emo band and their first album , '13 Songs', talked more about their emotions leading to the creation of the word. Emo is now a word used by people with very small vocabularies for anybody bohemian/alternative (i.e. those who do not wear trackies or listen to rap music)

Emo bands include - Fugazi, Lifetime, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jets To Brazil, Jawbreaker, Texas is the Reason, Mineral. Emo bands do NOT include - Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Lostprophets and more.

Unlike common belief, emo does not stand for a category that a person can fit. Emo stands, actual, for the word emotional. Emo, the word its self, is extremely hard to define, but it stems from highly emotional music. No I don't mean people talking about just how bad life is or a broken relationships what I mean is the music has a connection with its audiences lives which ergo makes the audience emotional.

1. "John must be emo because he cuts himself." "No\! John's not emo his suicidal." 2. "This music makes me really emo." “Yeah I get emotional when I hear this song too." One is the incorrect method to use emo and two is the correct method.

Sadly they do not listen to Rob Zombie or The Bloodhound Gang. Some slit their wrists but not all do, some just cry all day, or complain about how life sucks and nobody understands.

An emo kid is a bit like a greebo/goth/punk etc, only an emo kid 'likes' this music because they think that it's cool. Saying they are sensitive and that they show their feelings is fair enough. however a vast majority of emo kids pretend to think dark thoughts and be depressed and sad. And this is what an emo kid is. typical emo music is maroon 5, embrace, athlete etc. Emo kids think they are goth. they aren't.

recently i went to see bleeding through (a metal band) in islington, and there was a clear divide between the emo kids and the goth/punk/metal kids. It was clear that the emo kids were unsure as to the meaning of the lyrics of bleeding through, and they just looked plain out of place, they didn't really get into the music, as most emo's prefer to listen to more 'mellow' rock.

We all know [Emo] is a genre of music but what word can describe those kids you see in the local mall or that random kid that always sits in the same place every lunch break at school. We will just refer to them as emo kids. They will usually deny being "emo" but don't be confused, they actually love the attention they get. The kids who go around saying they are emo, they are usually the faggots who should be hit. They'll listen to lots of different bands - - My Chemical Romance (This is because MCR is life) - Panic\! At The Disco (This is because Panic\! are geniuses) - Random Techno Bands (This is because every emo loves to get up and dance when they're not OD'd on the floor) - Old School Punk (This is because they are actually more xtuffx then the other kids give them credit for, not) They'll dress in lots of different clothes and colours as long as it's black and tight - -Black Skinnies (If you don't have these don't even try and claim to be emo) -Black Band Shirts (If you don't have at least two of these don't even try and claim to be emo) -Black and White Checkered Belt (Like because whites a colour aswell\!) -Vans/Chucks (Because emos need to wear basketball shoes even though they hate sport, it's just emotional like that you know?) -Random apparel (Like the clothing, can be any colour as long as it's black or white) Now that you know what these kids are wearing it shouldn't be hard to track a few down in your local area. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. Honestly, emo kids are popping up everywhere these days. Hell after reading this you'll probably turn to your more emotional side and next thing you know your begging to go shopping with your mum so she'll buy you some new tight jeans. Oh Yes, the tight black jeans usually have rips in them. I don't know wether this is to look trendy or because they fall over a lot due to not being able to see because of their black hair covering their eyes. HAIR is a big thing and probably the most hardest to become emo and fit in. Dye it black, grow it, brush it forward. That was hard. Just remember these emo kids are highly emotional so don't go around giving them shit just because they don't know any better, in around 6 months they'll move on and deny ever listening to MCR or claiming to be emo. You'll see enough of these kids and learn to thank them for the amount of laughter they create when you walk past, but never actually laugh at them. You're a jock/slut remember, you have to spread rumours - that's your job.

I used to be happy but now I'm emo so I can score girls You're not emo, those jeans are loose I'm an emo kid, be my friend?

Emo. There are many diffrent types of emos. I would know, I happen to be "emo". Here is a list of the diffrent types of emos: The Fake Emo(Known as the "Wannabee Emo"): These kids listen to Teenagers over and over and wear black, dye their hair black and sometimes (NOT ALL THE TIME, DONT STEROTYPE DAMMIT) cut themselves so that they seem emo. These kids are not emo. They are annoying and make a bad name for the "true" emo. The Real Emo: This is someone who probably has some sort of tragedy happen, such as parents being alcoholics or being depressed because of a mental condition (Personal Experience). These kids should not be made fun of because many of them are going through extremely hard times. But, sadly, there are people who don't even bother to look and see that these people may really be in trouble\! Heck, its very hard to find a real emo because most of them are in the closet about their emoness. The Real, Hardcore Emo: These are the worst. These are the emos that have been real for close to a month and they begin to nosedive. They cut deeper and they become increasingly mean to freinds at school or to people in the workplace. They may also start burning or pinching or some other form of Self-Injury. These kids should NEVER be made fun of. They are, many times, mentally unstable and many will attempt or have many thoughts about killing themselves. If you know about someone that is cutting or talking of suicide, they are becomeing a hardcore emo, and they have a slight chance of living. Please, don't make fun of emo. It's just cruel. I was made fun of as an emo, and then I went to a rebalitaion center for a month, which felt like jail. I was set up with a professional and finally got back to normal. I'm taking perscribtion meds to feel better. Emo isn't a joke. It can be dangerous.

The Fake Emo: Faker: Dude, I'm so depressed today\! I wanna cut and cry to MCR\!\! Normal People: You wannabee fucktard. Get real or go pretend some more. The Real Emo: Real Emo: I wish my parents wouldn't fight, they make me so sad, and I don't have anyone to talk to. Normal Person: Dude, that sucks\! Ignorant Person*: HAHA\!\! EMO\!\! YOU SUCK\!\! GO SLIT YOUR WRISTS AND DIE YOU FUCKING EMO\!\!\!\!1\!\!\!\! The Hardcore Emo: Hardcore: I can't take this man, I'm so sick and I want to kill myself. I can't take the pain. Normal: Dude, get help\!\! Don't kill yourself\! Ignorant Person: HAHA\!\! EMO\!\! YOU SUCK\!\! GO SLIT YOUR WRISTS AND DIE YOU FUCKING EMO\!\!\!\!1\!\!\!\! *Most Of The Population

a genre which has lost its meaning over the years and now currently consists of mostly 14-19 year olds, mostly consisting of wearing black clothes, tight ripped pants (if you're a guy) or short slutty skirts with fishnet stockings (if you're a girl), hair worn in a certain retarded manner, jewelry from Hot Topic, requires listening to Dashboard Confessional, etc. These people all strive to be unique but somehow all end up the same. It is easy to identify an emo by the typically downcast look, hair combed over half the face, and real (or fake) cut marks on their arms. 95% of the people thrown into this class get off on creating drama around them, whileas in all reality their lives are not that bad. Typically "misunderstood" by anyone not in their clique (meaning the rest of civilized humanity), they often misconstrue themselves as aspiring geniuses, poets, artists, etc. see also [delusions of grandeur] for insight on the common emo's thought process. These people usually grow out of this stage by age 18 or 19, realizing that in all reality, the world does not give a fuck if your puppy died when you were 12...and it was the only real friend you had.

Emo: "my puppy died when i was 12, it was the only real friend that i ever had that understood me *cut cut*" Common Person: "wow, you're...pathetic."

Emo, noun. Sub-genre of really pathetic people, who give goths, and people with real emotional problems a bad name. Usually found listening to old-school cd players and over-sized head-phones. Reason, they want to be different. They fail at this because they are all different together. Usually they even look the same. Fringe of jet-black hair to covering the right or left 2/3 of their face. Girls usually wear skin tight black jeans, guys steal their girlfriends' jeans. And make up. And sex-toys. And ex boyfriends. Emo's usually complain about how no-one understands them, that's because no one cares about a snotty rich kid who creates fictional problems because they're bored and have too much money. If you want to find out more about emo's go to your next, 30 Seconds to mars, Hawthorne Heights, or \<insert mildly angsty band name\> to view them in their full, sad splendour. You are emo if you started crying after the second sentence. Also, there is nothing more entertaining than making fun of an emo. I personally sleep on a waterbed filled with the tears of a thousand emo's.

EMO: Isn't it possible for two, or four guys to make out, naked and not be gay? I'm so sad, I'm going to write poetry in my diary and listen to my favourite band, June in December. Thank God mom pre-heated my razor blade for me, I don't like it when it's cold.

Emo, a style. Some also have it as a life, a mood. To look emo you must wear tight ass pants...so tight you almost get your crap squeezed out. Lots of BLACK [make-up] so thick you need a spatula to smear it on. Don't put on your [make-up] to look pretty, make yourself look as ugly as possible and to make people stare (remember get really made if they do\!\!). [Make-up] caking on is an art, try exotic styles. [Tops] as tight as possible. Band [shirts] all the way\! The hair is another story...go as [vagabondish] as possible. Fringe covering one or both eye(s) to make yourself look as unpleasant/[anti-social]/dark and disturbed as possible.

Darkone: Zhey want to come over and cut with me to Dash? Emostonecut:umm sure. lyke I have to go and buy some jeans furst. My others were stollen from me. Darkone: damn...*cry* those were hawt on your skinny little ass\! Emostonecut: want me to bring razorzzz? Darkone: er. sure. Emostonecut: DEATH\! Darkone: DEATH

A derogatory label used to describe a population of teens that choose to explore and celebrate the dark side of life. However , after such great bands as [My Chemical Romance] and [Escape The Fate] share the same trait, the word has backfired. Lately many teens strive to act of be emo, by forcing themselves to listen to Taking Back Sunday, dressing in black, and acting depressed. Over 90% of emo teenagers are posers.

Well, you can get a pretty good wrong picture of an emo person from the 100's of other definitions of Emo. But actually they are possibly mostly wrong. "emo" is now used as a term (which is alternative to goth) for people who like to wear what they like..such as black skinny jeans and those who have a fringe. This term is overrated and is really unrealistic. I'm not going to bother writing down an actual definition, but it could mean someone who has deep personal issues and actually like being unique, but are usually happy most of the time. So yeah :)

Uh... Do you think a person is an [emo] if they cut themselves? Another example is someone who goes from happy to down in a short amount of time...Uh, i dont know if thats accurate lol?

Emo is a style of music. If you listen to emo music, then you are emo. Most people misunderstand what emo really is. Most people think that if someone wears a lot of black, has diagnal bangs, black nail polish, black hair, tight clothes, cut themselves, heavy make-up, and seem to never smile... theyre wrong\!

Example 1: I did a little experiment, I acted "fake emo". I wore heavy eyeliner, black nail polish, etc... and people actually asked me and said something about me being emo. My friend, she listens to emo music, but i would probably never be able to tell if she was emo\! Example 2: I actually used to cut myself a little (not my best moment, I admit) and some people found out and called me emo... I just shook it off because I know emo is music, not style\!

This is my definition of emo based on a conversation with my "emo" son and his friends because...well I can. I have concluded that there is no definition of emo. I was told that THEY are unique individuals, which by my upbringing describes everyone on the planet. Oh, they listen to a certain type of music (don't we all), they wear bleak-colored clothing, have piercings and are emotional. So here goes my definition....Emo people are an excuse to hate everyone around you and mutilate yourself. Nothing more in a world of take-a-pill, make excuses for not doing anything with your life and blame everyone else for your condition. After intercepting a letter from my emo son's emo girlfriend, I read "I hate my big sister. She is such a b$\#*ch and doesn't pay attention to me. Cutting and suicide seem so real right now." Every teenage girl that has a big sister hates her at one point in her life. And this lifestyle has been perpetuated by leaving our children alone, not teaching them proper values of life, not looking into what they are doing. If the emo children were brought up in my household they would be thinking...."oh yeah exactly, cutting sounds so glamorous." Obviously, sarcastically. Can't these kids just be individuals with differences without all the loathing they portray???? Anyway, this comes from a 40 year old mom with wild hair, tattoos, piercings, listening to heavy metal music (along with all other genres). Am I emo????????

Emo means emotional. A lot of people show their emotions very strongly, therefore they are emotional, or emo for short. Not all emo's cut and complain about life. Not all emo's want to end there life. MTV has filled you head with lies. Some emo's do want to die, and some want to cut, but not every single emo wants to die. I just wanted to clear things up a bit for people who think all emo's cut.

I'm emo, but I don't want to die or cut myself. I love live and I don't want to end it.

A large subculture usually made up of Caucasian teens creating drama where there is none. And If there is some, or something terrible has happened, they end up thinking it's a huge problem. this usually ends up with them cutting themselves on the arm, leg, penis, clit whatever. Then if this doesn't help solve anything they will perceive they don't matter and will then change their appearance. Usually all black or wierd clothing. (Large baggy pants that can be mistaken for skirts. If this doesn't help they then they think since no one has noticed the change that they mean nothing to the world. They then go one to think they have no friends and go and kill themselves. (either slashing of wrists, runs, drugs, hangings, etc

EMO doesn't stand for anything, and it isn't anyone in particular, nor is it a group of people. It once was, as many people have already stated, a genre of music, now it is used to refer to those people who don't fit into the categories we have created. just because we do not understand one person does not mean we have to class them then throw away any last remaining thoughts of them. one day we should approach one and ask whether they are okay, maybe you'll be pleasantly suprised by the lack of stereotypical comments in their reply. Some people have been through hard times, some people don't know HOW to cope with what is happening to them, why don't we, instead of shunning them, help them and then maybe there won't be any need for this utterly pointless category. Cutting-isn't necessarily a characteristic of "EMOhood", its a phase of life, and sometimes an outlet of frustration and pain. would you prefer them to take their anger out on others?

Random person 1:Man, you're EMO... "EMO": *thwack\!* Moral: Don't stereotype others, especially when you can't, or don't, stereotype yourself.

a term coined to describe the emotional (there is a rare misconception that "emo" is an abbreviation of UNemotional) or "angsty" subculture of the teenager; "emo" is generally associated with dark clothing, dark make-up, dark, heavily rimmed glasses, [chucks], images of depression such as cutting and sometimes anorexia (due to the fact that emo is also associated with tight clothing), and certain hairstyles (typically long, sideswept, as in diagonal, bangs that tend to obscure the eye(s)); the emo philosophy combines a certain existentialism and classic tragedy and expresses these ideals through a genre of music

Happy child: Dude, what is emo? Emo child: Emo is a philosophy of life that takes the idea that life has no meaning, and does it in such a way to incorporate the melodrama inspired by Greek tragedy. Happy child: Dude ... Emo child: What? Happy child: Don't try to justify it. It's still moronic. Go cut your hair. Emo child: You're just jealous because I'm skinnier than you are.

Is like saying that all Italians are fat chefs that make pizza, and while that is true for a small percent of people it is not the case. emo is just short for emotional, a type of music, and can mean many things and can be expressed in many ways by wearing many types of clothing and other actions.

Let's be honest we all gotta admit that this has become a trend, emo ppl try so hard to make themselves look unique on pages like myspace or vampirefreaks... but in the end you're pretty much of the same. Emo trend is so full with cliches like haircut, cutting your wrists (not all), whining about ur life, being bisexual... like really how many have I read "I'm bisexual deal with that" yeah right like if not most of emo kids are "bisexual" or have kiss another guy... you're not being unique, special, individualist or rebelliuos you're just pretty much being part of a big trend just like Punk was a coupple years ago.. and emo haters stop it, there's no point on talking crap about a "trend" bcus emo is that just a trend, in the end it'll go away and there'll be left only the ppl that where there from day \#1 and rest of them will move on to the next trend until day actually grew up

emo is an abbreviation not for the word 'emotional' but 'emotive'. Emotive music is a sub-genre of rock popular among middle class teenagers with emotional difficulties. Normally the vocalist does not in fact sing, he/she whines instead. A lot of emo fans do in fact like other rock sub-genres, however these do not directly address their emotional difficulties. Being an emo fan is a bit like going to an alcoholics anonymous class-you just go to a gig, cry/worry etc, find another person in the same boat, tell them everything will be alright, they tell you everything will work out fine, you get reassured then you stop crying/worrying and the gig ends. The names of emo bands more often than not say it all.

Me:Hey man have you heard that metallica are headlining download this year? That's fuckin awesome, I'm getting my ticket tonight. Emo fan: Yeah I heard. I dunno, metallica are a bit too aggressive for me. Whenever I hear them I wonder whether I'll ever be emotionally strong enough to make that sort of music. Me: Metallica have sold around 100 MILLION albums worldwide. That's more than the whole emo genre. Unlucky man.

People who try hard to look asian. The boys: Usually have the hairstyle of the anime character Uchiha Sasuke.They try to be thin just like the asians and wear thick eyeliners to make their eyes look like the almond-shaped eyes of asians.They also dye their hair black to have the jet black hair color of the asian people. The girls: Look as thin and small as possible to look asian and dye their hair black and follow the haircut of most asian people "bangs".Most asian people have side swept bangs some are different.Emos try to make cute faces in the camera and show their "fake asian eyes" filled with eyeliners.They also try hard to look innocent just like the asians but they look scary and deep inside they are sluts.They keep their heads down and act shy like the anime characters and asian chicks.They follow harajuku fashion just change the colors the some put ribbons on their hair to make them look cute like the asians. All of them are anime-obsessed,loves Pokemon and other animes that were already seen in asian countries for like 10 years ago.Some even try to speak japanese.

Emo girl:Do you think im hot? Asian:Dream on poser\! What i meant by "poser" is people trying to be asian.

1. Another really annoying label started by some loser who had no life. 2.Usually a whiny little adolescent boy or girl who thinks they are "rebellious" or a "non-conformist". They think their life sucks, so they waste their time cutting their wrists and hurting themselves instead of finding ways to make it better. A lot of these people actually have no problems and are rich little liars who pretend to be emo to "fit in" with a select few people. Posers Some of these people actually have a really bad life(example: abuse, neglect, poverty, disease, ect.), but still do nothing about but hurt themselves even more. The worst type of emo is the kids who don't even cut themselves but make it appear as if they did, they will pretend to have issues that some real kids have. Saying their parents abuse them or they have been raped. When people who have actually had this happen to them, live with it much better or at least try to be happy. Most shop at Hot Topic and Thrift stores. 3. A genre of music that some how spawned into a label.

1. "Check out that emo fag\!" 2. "My life is so horrible, my girlfriend just dumped me for my bestfriend, no one ever pays attention to me, and my parents took away my convertible for screaming at them and calling them a prick. I'm going to kill myself" "Instead of doing that how about you stop being such a pussy and do something proactive for once." 3. "Listen to this awesome emo band i found\!"

Modern-day punk rock music genre. Emo music can be associated with any not-so-rebellious punk rock. Not to be associated with any persons wearing tight pants, "cutting themselves", and boohooing about how much life sucks. The people who claim to be emo are nothing more than emotional punk-rockers. Nuff said.

"Emo" kid: *cuts wrist* I'm so depressed. Life sucks. Punk rocker: *spray paints on walls* Down with the establishment\! Emo is basically the evolved form of a punk rocker. Sad.

Ok, emo and punk are NOT alike at all. Goth and emo also not a like at all. Emo is just a new bullshit genre of music and new style that steals it's sounds and look from other things. Emo is a style that has becoem popular, mainly teens pretending to be depressed for attention, dressing like tranvestites mixed with clothing from other styles and genres, make up sad stories also for attention, and some are dumb enough to go to self mutilation to fit in or get attention.

a way of life that is either often rejected or misinterpreted. those that are emo will never admit to actually being emo because then that would be another form of conforming to a meaningless consumer driven life. emos are driven in a meaningless life but they do not allow themselves to become consumed in materialistic items. they are vampires to society, never will they accepted. nor do they wish to be. they view life as constantly shitting on them and personally i agree. life does always find its little ways of making those humble suffer enernally

The word emo is short for emotional. Originally used to define music that was "overly" emotional, normally quite dark sounding rock music. Now often used to describe fans of this music or as an insult. If you have any of these you are leaving yourself open to being called an emo: a fringe across your face, converse, vans, skinny jeans, scars on your arms or legs for what ever reason, rock band t-shirts, black clothes of any description, and patterned shoe laces. A stereotype of emo is someone who has dark hair, thick-rimmed glasses, converse, skinny jeans and are so depressed that they self-harm. Emo also sounds like the japanese for potato. (imo is the romanji version but is prounced emo)

They're so emo. That band is so emo. Girl \#1: All emos are stupid Girl \#2: Have you ever cried? Girl \#1: yeah... Girl \#2: Have you ever laughed? Girl \#1: Yeah... Girl \#2: Have you ever smiled. Girl \#1: yeah... Girl \#2: Then you're emo because emo is short for emotional and laughing and crying means you're being emotional.

QUOTE FROM OTHER DEFINITION: "I just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands." \emoChelsea CLARIFICATION: Ok, first, Beethoven was a Romantic composer stupid. George Gershwin is 20th century. Britney Spears is pop. Get a fucking music dictionary. Emo is a musical genre developed in the 80's. You don't hear people running around yelling "I'm so metal" or "I'm so rock." Emo clothing style was derived from punk which was rising from Washington in the 80's. The attitude of "Emo" was derived from the agonizingly depressing lyrics that plague all of todays musical genres (which is why I listen to classic rock). This term I have chosen (agonizingly depressing) is a double negative for those of you lacking linguistics skills. The definition of the emotional status of the allegedly emo person could also be defined as adolescence. The emo label exists mostly among teenagers when they're going through normal chemical changes in their body. The existance of this in older people is called depression and needs to recieve immediate medical help. This condition is rising among adults due to genetic mutations with the body's ability to balance seratonin and melatonin as well as increased stress in today's culture. Other triggers are tragedy by means of deaths or abuse. Many times this is reversable. People that get labeled as being emo, and truely are, usually don't want to be labeled that way and it upsets them because of their nature. People that WANT to be labeled as emo are called posers. They're trying to become something other than what really are. We'll save "poser" for another definition. Essentially, the term "EMO" is non-existant. It is slang that has been developed to describe typical chemical conditions. The problem is, teenagers do not understand what is happening to their bodies and so they label each other as being socially inept.

Emo 1: You're so emo 2: Waahhhhhh\! Nobody understands me\! Not emo 1: I'm so emo. I hate the world and nobody get's me. 2. ...poser

Right i've had enough of this bull shit\!. If you all think that so called emo's are attention seekers and that they're lives aren't tough then i've got something to change your minds. A few months ago my frinds mum left home deciding that she didn't love my friends dad anymore and she is the only girl in the house now and so she has to bring up her brothers care for them and her father, clean their clothes and do all the work around the house and look after their many pets.And she still goes to her college and goes to work and then has to come home and do more.I am her only real friend.

Yes she did cut herself at one point and she listens to rock music because the lyrics pull her through all the shit life throws at her and she can relate to the music and if you think about it the reason why so called emo's listen to rock is because the lyrics are about things that effect the so called emo's like self harm, family trouble, and love. Instead of all that chav music which is about killing other people. A lot of teenagers have jumped on the band wagon and called themselves emo's but if you ask them the real ones never actually wanted to be called that at all they just wanted to deal with things their own way. i think you will find that the majority of these kids are having family trouble and i agree with definition numer 45, could you cut yourself just for the sake of it.i've cut myself before when i had some serious problems in my life and i know that no matter how much a person wants to be liked they couldn't put themselves through that pain (trust me cutting yourself hurts a lot) a great man once said 'i think sometimes you have to sort of die inside in order to rise up from your own ashes' so next time you go to put the girl with the cuts on her arm down just think about my friend and what she has to go through everyday she doesn't have '2 loving parents, a comfortable and stable home enviroment or friends'.

Emos wear makeup and cry lots. They claim that they aren't scared to be themselves. If this was true they would admit they are useless would stop acting depressed. Maybe then they would get a little more respect. When they aren't getting their asses kicked, they get drunk and have sex with dead animals. Emo guys will do anything to make themselves look like a [faggot]. Some of these dipshits even claim to be straight. Emo's think people give a shit about some stupidass emotional trauma they suffer from. They have greasy hair and they usualy suck.

Stupid fuckers that cut themselves and listen to shit music. Usually they cut themselves because they have "problems", like "my boy/girlfriend broke up with me", or "i cant go to the *generic emo-band* concert because i need to go to my grandmothers funeral\!" and shit like that. EMO CUTTERS DONT HAVE ANY REAL PROBLEMS\!\! People with real problems dont resort to cutting, they know how do deal with it, or at least know to get help. Emo kids just mope and whine all day and have to be bisexual and wear girl pants because i guess having balls is too much extra weight for them to carry along with the rest of their crappy lives.

emo kid: "Hey i have an idea, how about since i cant express my "pain" by going to a therapist, ill just take this rusty knife and cut myself to help me forget about my fake sadness. Im sure that id rather die of blood loss than face my "problems" and end up living a happy life."

A bunch of really gay people that think there cool but really arent. They say they dont want to be a conformist and be like normal people so they go and conform with another group. Their music is really terrible and consists of guitarist who are really god aweful and have probably never played the guitar in there life and there singer usually has the voice of a three year old girl, but they woud probably sound better if they got the cock out of their mouth. You can usually find an emo/qweer in the arcade of a mall playing dance dance revolution or in hot topic, where all there gay clothes are sold. There hair is usually a different color every other week and it comes down to there jaw bone on one side of there face and is straightend and the back is really spikey and looks like it could be wrung out with grease to cook bacon with. They wear black or gray usually with a little bit of pink and have fingerless gloves that come up to there elbows usually because they dont realize how gay it looks. You can usually find an emo wearing about 3242 spiked wrist bands that they never take off not even to shower. Emos dont like sports. For many reasons, mostly because they suck balls in sports. But also because it requires that you put forth effort and there so lazy they dont want to do that. Another reason is because most jocks make fun of and beat up emos...because there gay. You can also identify an emo by the 22374293472934729374 peircings in there face, mostly in the lips, nose, or ears. It is also easy to point out an emo because they will be jacking off to Harry Potter, or anime crap. They usually wear skin tight pants because they have no ball sack anymore, and are the scrawniest human beings in the world. Emos are just a bunch of gay losers that caint make friends so they formed there own little cliche

Confused Girl: Gosh your hott\! I just love that your wearing the same pants as me and that i could probably beat your ass if i wanted to...I want you to fuck me right now\!

Emo is not all about people hating their lives & using razorblades to cut their wrists. That's a stereotype. Emo is actually a type of music from around the 80's and not all of their songs are about wanting to die or depression. Emo is not a type of person, it is a type of music\! People who think that 'emos' are attention whores are wrong. Some may and some may not be but that's not the point. People should stop calling people emo just because they are depressed. Anyone can be depressed.

It's not people who cut themselves, or hate themselves and life. Not people who dress in skinny jeans with hair over their eye and band tee's. Emo came from emotive music and people began saying things like they cut themselves or all they do is cry, when that style became popular. Emo is really just a style of music that has meaning to it. Instead of things like 'Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus' that has no depth, there is songs like 'Miserable At Best by Mayday Parade' that has depth. Basically, emo came about to label people who have a sensitive side.

Typical stereo type. Person \#1- That guy is wearing skinny jeans and isn't smiling, he must be emo. Person \#2- Yeah. He probably cuts himself every night. *Person 1 and 2 start laughing*

Emo is a fashion and music style that originated in the 1980's. Emo music consists of screaming, and ncredibly poetic lyrics. It is short for Emotional Hardcore, as it began as a form of punk rock. Emo bands include (but are not exclusive too): My Chemical Romance, Aiden, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, Panic\! At The Disco, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Hawthorne Heights, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Escape The Fate, Die Mannequin, AFI, The Academy Is.., Cute Is What We Aim For, Dashboard Confessional, From First To Lst, Funeral For A Friend, Rites Of Spring, Silverstien, Thrice, Thursday, Coheed And Cambria, and Underoath. Some emo, such as PATD, has been known to have a dance/techno aspect to it. Emo fashion is far more easier to define. When it comes to hair, black is usually the staple, although any colour is acceptable (my natural hair colour is actually barbie doll blonde). Hair normally covers half the face, and is straight. Spikes in the back is also emo. Clothes are mostly black, with the odd flouresant colour (such as pink) mixed in. Emo's wear ties, and scarves in just about any colour. An emo shirt is most likely a tight fitting black t with an emo band name on it, or anything from Nightmare Before Christmas or Emily The Strange. Pants are ALWAYS tight-fitting skinny jeans. No exception. A girl can wear a black skirt overtop, or tight-black leggings (black with skulls is better) and the skirt. Denim in this situation is also acceptable. Shoes can be converse, or vans. Writing on them (and your jeans) adds a nice touch. Gloves are a staple of emo, if you can get them fingerless, even better. Emo can also take on a gothic-hybrid style. Dress shirts and lace can be your best friend. ^^ Make sure you wear thick black eyeliner, black, purple, or grey eyeshadow, and black nailpolsh. Even if your a guy. Trust me, it's hot. Also, I will say this once, and once only. Emo does NOT mean gay, depressed, or cutting. Emo kids are just being themselves.

Some emo, such as PATD, has been known to have a dance/techno aspect to it. Emo fashion is far more easier to define. When it comes to hair, black is usually the staple, although any colour is acceptable (my natural hair colour is actually barbie doll blonde). Hair normally covers half the face, and is straight. Spikes in the back is also emo. Clothes are mostly black, with the odd flouresant colour (such as pink) mixed in. Emo's wear ties, and scarves in just about any colour. An emo shirt is most likely a tight fitting black t with an emo band name on it, or anything from Nightmare Before Christmas or Emily The Strange. Pants are ALWAYS tight-fitting skinny jeans. No exception. A girl can wear a black skirt overtop, or tight-black leggings (black with skulls is better) and the skirt. Denim in this situation is also acceptable. Shoes can be converse, or vans. Writing on them (and your jeans) adds a nice touch. Gloves are a staple of emo, if you can get them fingerless, even better. Emo can also take on a gothic-hybrid style. Dress shirts and lace can be your best friend. ^^ Make sure you wear thick black eyeliner, black, purple, or grey eyeshadow, and black nailpolsh. Even if your a guy. Trust me, it's hot. Also, I will say this once, and once only. Emo does NOT mean gay, depressed, or cutting. Emo kids are just being themselves.

Emo song lyric: The truth, is you could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath, I'll apologize for bleeding on your shirt.

A stupid stereotype that doesnt really exist. Started off as a a genre of music from the Mid 80's Punk scene. Now turned into a trend that still, doesnt really exist. Emo is a type of music and nothing less. Someone who calls someone emo is obviously arrogant and doesnt understand the proper meaning. Calling someone 'emo' doesnt make sense. Its like calling some Jazz or Hip hop. Its a type of music. People who call themselves Emo are usually posers who are not dressing that way because they want to but just trying to figure out who they are. I myself, I have black hair with blonde bangs, you can hardly seen any of my face. I wear girls drainpipes, I wear girl shirts, girls sweaters, I wear makeup, wear vans, usually have band t's on, and im one of the happiest people you will ever meet. Most of my friends dress like me and are also happy. Just because someone dresses like that doesnt mean they are depressed or whatever. Thats bullshit. Its just a style, get over it. Stop judging. If you have ever called someone emo you are completely arrogant and should probably go back to American Eagle and buy an 80 dollar pink polo. Fag.

I love emo/Post hardcore music. Emo is a word that should be banished from anyone using. I wear tight pants and makeup, im not emo. FUCK YOU.

Desensitised word that is used by any person who likes, or is affiliated with rap,or who enjoys crap music in generla. It is a term used to encompass any form of rock music in a derogatory way. Originally referring to a narrow genre of Emotive metal and hard rock, it was used by MTV and other music channels to describe a bunch of bands who dress a certain way. People who listen to a certain type of music BECAUSE of the way they dress(ie skinny jeans, tight shirts) can be described as Emos(note the diffence to dressing a certain way to reflect their music choice). Emo is now a style of dress more than anything. Emos can also be described as [hissy cutters]. Emo was originally a type of good ol' fashioned pioneer rock and metal. But now its a word that is thrown around and makes all true rocker cringe.

Rap Guy: man, you listen to system of a down and Alice Copper and stuff? What an Emo\! Rock Guy: Shut up you inferior being, you know nothing. May your children be consumed by a thousand hungry spiders.

It does not mean to cut your wrists or wear skinny jeans or have side bangs. To cut your wrists means your depressed, to wear skinny jeans is along the lines of clothing and fashion, and having side bangs is about hair. Being Emo, is not possible because Emo is a music genre, meaning "Emotive Hardcore" and last that I have heard, people can not be a music genre

1. No one uses this word correctly. 2. This Emotive Hardcore music is very Emotive Hardcore

They are middle to upper class teens and young adults who wern't tuff enougf to make it as punkers and to much of a pussy to pull off goth. I think It's kinda like if punk and goth had a baby but the mother did drugs and drank the whole time she was pregnant and Emo is the result of that. It's a fad for bord kids hailling out of the suburbian empire who have to much money and time on their hands(I am sure it's not cheap to be a posser ) and feel like their not getting enoughf attention from mommy and daddy so as a result they love bask in their imaginary melodrama and create shit to pretend be depressed about so they can play the part of the missunderstood abused victim and go write in their blogs and tell the world how hard their life is.

They spend a lot of money to look the part I.E. greesy blacked out hair, body peirceings(sometimes fake)a goth style make-up job, jewlery, but then spend their time crying and whineing about how hard it is to be them and how they don't fit in with anyone and about how no one understands them and the way they feel about things and cry because no one loves them their not punk and their not goth neither group wants to claim it because it's so lame so they call themselfs "Emo".

Emo, short for Emotional. Pretty much your definition right there. A whole bunch of sorrow filled people, who listen to downtrodden music which lyrics usually consist of groans and moans of past relationships that went wrong and they take there pain to the extreme. Typically "cutters" or, people who cut themselves when they are upset to release their emotional pain (which is very unhealthy by the way.) Majority of Emo's are homo/bi-sexual. Usually "Punks" do not get along with them. ("Indie sux, hard-line sux, EMO SUX, you suck\!"-Antiflag)

Emo bands include, but are not limited to: my chemical romance, the used, and taking back sunday.

[Emo] meaning emotional is a new craze across the young 'uns\! [emos] can be spotted by a greasy fringe, skinny jeans, hoodies and a general grunting distain for those around them. [Emo] gangs try to act depressed and generally buy a copy of marilyn mansuns greatest hits. They pretend to know everything about punk and rock (even though most of them weren't born when kurt cobain died)they wear t-shirts saying 'kurt cobain died for us' which in short is a pretencious pile of wank that's spread across our society\! Don't get me wrong I appreciate that everybody has problems, and i am by no means a chav... (they're all scum and should be shot\!)... but come on people. We are british, we do not parade around showing our emotions and slitting our wrists and acting depressed. We as a nation are supposed to have the stiff upper lip and generally repressed attitude to our feelings\!

It needs no example just look at a group of depressive teens and you'll see the emo crowd.

1. Homosexual see also fag, faggot, gay, homo 2. Genre of music that cant be described as rock because of the homosexual undertones or pop because of the semi - non - "mainstream" theme. "god-squad" bands are especially prominent in this genre , this music is an enigma because as soon as anyone other than the first person to hear the band, listens to the music, it becomes unpopular. so bands are constantly called "sellouts" which raises the question. How can they be sellouts if no one gives a fuck?

Bill: omg dude danielle left me... Zach: dude quit that shit your not gonna go emo on me and fuck some butch girl or really feminine dude right?

THIS IS A DEFINTION ON WHERE YOU CAN FIND EMOS. Emos are like annoying little insects that you swat and they come back again, only much worse. You see emo gay guys making out on SIMS. You see 3/4 of the Youtube video population containing retarded slide shows on gay emo dudes, again kissing eachother or proposing to eachother. You go to every single local show and there will be a pit containing emo girls who apparently think that they are on So You Think You Can Dance. You go to every single dark depressing corner of the mall and you see emo children eating happy meals and snow cones. You go to Kmart and Walmart and you see ten year old emo kiddies buying sour straps with their mommies whilst having THREE holes in each ear pierced. At that age already. You go to the delivery sections of supermarkets and bus stops and see emo guys slouching together pretending they are depressed with this world, when really they are craning their necks trying to see if you are looking how in touch with their feelings they are whilst blowing half of their hair off their face without much success. And, finally, you will see them the most falling on their fat arses in skating rinks. Or, you could just go to local parks and watch two emo guys giggle together then pull a serious face once someone walks by to maintain their reputation. It's very entertaining.

This is a real example of a so called "tough" emo kid on my street. *I'm walking to the Food Court in a mall and spot an emo dude I know* Me: HIYA Him: *sitting looking supposedly sensitive yet passive in his black wigga hoodie* Hi. *he quickly puts something behind his back* Me:Yo what's that behind ur back Him:NOTHING NOTHING AT ALL Me: K bye *starts to walk off* *I quickly look back and see that he is holding a Happy Meal in one hand and the Happy Meal toy in the other* I will not even mention his AGE as it will probably embarrass him.

emo is a slang term used to describe teenagers today. it is popular to be emo because of the all the radiant attention you get from it,guys wear skinny jeans,have jet black hair(sometimes brown-dark brown),can barely see through their hair and are always flicking it to see clearly,they consider this sexy. girls love emo guys and only date them,it was first a catch of the millenium now it's so normal you can practically marry one without hassle. mp3/ipod lists my chemical romance,panic\! at the disco,afi,fall out boy and some other random unknown 'emo' bands to show how intellectual they are. emo kids are faking,not a single real one exists anymore,if they dye their hair,they're faking. emo is practically over now,people consider it embarassing and are desperate to either cut their hair or grow their hair back again....sad,when they were the ones bragging 'emo 4 life'... my question....what's next?

Emos are people that shop at hot topic, cut their selfs an talk about suicide because they don't have shit in life to be depressed enough to, or have big enough balls to really kill their selfs. OR, Goths that find life easier to buy clothes with chains an straps already attached while still claiming to be a goth, they are just a subclass added to the hot topic scene.

OK Now every Chav,Townie etc thinks emo is a person who cries all the time then cuts themselves and lives in self pity well sorry to tell you 89% of the teenage population(this is just a rough estimate it is probably higher) you are wrong\!Emo's do not cut themselves a few do but then again so do chavs and goths and skaters and grebs and townies now just because emo's listen to heavier music than r & b(puke) or rap(even worse) etc it doesn't mean they cut themselves and wallow in self pity no the thing most people have failed to realize is that emo is just a music genre and fashion style. The emo bands that are still going include: Funeral for a friend, Clash of the sirens and the haunts (there are a lot more) also i recommed going to see all of those bands they are all awesome I saw them in May. So I leave you with this emo is a subculture of the more widely known goth it is only a fashion statement and genre of music.

A steryotype for teenagers. Emos generally have died black hair that covers part of the face (mainly the eyes) and wear tight fitting clothes. The word 'emo' is short for 'emotional' and generally refers to someone of roughly the above description who 'is not afraid to' express their feelings of hatred about the world. For example, a person who openly feels wonderful about society is not emo. An emo feels hard done by and skeptical about society, and some become so depressed by their own dark thoughts that they try to 'end the nightmare' and commit suicide. The most comonly thought of way of doing this is slitting their wrists. Some emos go a step further in expresing their feelings by being open about their sexual preferences, see 'emo boy kissing' for more info.

i hate the world, therefore, i am emo.

EMO is just another label that some person made up to use on them selves so they could be ''original'' Dosnt it have to do with something in the 90's about a type of rock? Emotive Hardcore. Or something like that. In the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as "Emotive Hardcore," spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term "Emo" as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of "Emotive" Hardcore bands. That's right, "Emo" was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Black And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there's still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records' roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don't quite follow that philosophy. Things that are NOT emo; -My Chemical Romance =nor is it gothic or punk or demonic= -The Gap =Preps also shop there= -Skater shoes =Okay, leave thoes to the SKATERS= -Saying ''I feel emo today.'' ''I'm so emo, i make flowers cry'' ''I hate my life.'' '' I cut becuase I'm emo and depressed'' -Anti-depressants =okay, leave them to the ACTUALLY deppressed people. now wonder drugs are so expensive.= - Having 1 million my space pix =Okay, no body needs to see your hair and mouth that many times=

Here is a Fakemo convo... XxSlavetoAnguishxX: omg my gf just left me acidburnedsoul: that sux man XxSlavetoAnguishxX: i blame myself only i'm such an ass *cries* acidburnedsoul: dude come over to my house and we can cut ourselves together XxSlavetoAnguishxX: okay *cries* acidburnedsoul: omg dashboard confessional has a new cd, i preordered it already XxSlavetoAnguishxX: dude they're my favorite band to self-mutilate to acidburnedsoul: i prefer to cut myself while watching Napoleon Dynamite on my bigscreen XxSlavetoAnguishxX: dude that movie is so deep. i cry every time i see it acidburnedsoul: me too. i hate myself XxSlavetoAnguishxX: yeah we're such tortured souls, nobody understands how hard life is for us acidburnedsoul: yeah we got it tough dude. pass the tissues

Someone who; - Wears vast amounts of eye-liner - Writes really shitty poetry about how bleak and upsetting the world is - Cuts their wrists in the completely wrong direction when attempting suicide - Listens to Hawthorne Heights - Writes on LiveJournal or some other blog site about how depressed they are and how much they wished they could just die - Wears girl pants - Claims to be bisexual to be cool - (Almost exclusively male) Takes pictures of themself making out with a member of the same sex and posts them online... I for one consider this to be the only good thing about emo culture - Wears lots of stripes and skulls - Doesn't realize just how badly they're ripping off Goth

Suzie- The word is a sad, sad place... I tried to end my life last night, but I failed yet again... Meg- Um... that's not the direction to slit your wrists in if you're seriously trying to kill yourself. Are you sure it wasn't just a cry for help? Suzie- are you mocking my pain? Meg- ... You can be so fucking emo at times.

young teenage children who think that attention is never theirs, so they decide that cutting themselves will be a great alternative. they decided that listening to music like fall out boy, silverstein, and panic\! at the disco, will make them seem cooler to the other teens at their school. they pretend that their lives are miserable, and complain about every thing that goes on wrong in their lives and take every thing for granted. emos are usually bisexual, or gay/lesbian. very small amout of them are straight

emo boy: uggh, my mom grounded me again. she caught me out with braxten. emo girl: ohh that sucks, wanna come over later and watch steel magnolias, and cut ourselves? emo boy: sure, but can we also complain about our rich lives and how every body ignores us?

Most commonly used to denote a style of music that makes the Spice Girls look like Pantera. Men who listen to this generally are not men and could be beat up by five year old girls and their pet kittens. This word is less commonly used to describe the type of people who listen to the aforementioned type of music. While these people certainly do suck, it is not all their fault...as they are only following the latest trend.

Dashboard Confessional is a perfect example of Emo I went to visit my Emo friend today but he was too busy crying over the ant he had accidentally stepped on

Teenagers who think its cool to dye their hair black, not wash it and then sweep it to the side of their face. They listen to depressing music to make themselves feel better about their depressing lives. They also think they have all the problems in the world when they are actually boffins who scrounge off of mummy and daddy and live in a big mansion. But for attention they think it's cool to slit their wrists and then go and broadcast it. They wear tight black jeans, converses, scarfs (even when it's hot), thick rimmed geeky glasses, and all look like clones of eachother. When they are not self harming they skip around town pissing everyone off with their high pitching yelling. They like to go to crappy gigs and chat about how shit their lives are. They hate everyone apart from eachother.

emo1:hey like are you like going like to like the like gig like tonight like? emo2: i don't know like cos like im like so like depressed like that i like might like stay at home like and like cut my wrist and like cry. emo: yeh like me too like im like so like depressed like my mummy like only like gave me like £500 tonight like she like hates me such much like.

Emo: People have said this to be many different things. Well Im pretty sure you are all wrong... "Emo" is NOT short for emotional, it is short for Emotive Hardcore. Yes. That is a kind of music. It first came out in the mid 80s and died in the late 90s, what we have today is "scenester". We do still have what you might call "Emo music" Bright Eyes perfected it, Dashboard murdered it, making really really bad attempts of being an Emo band. Then there are the kids who think they are emo.... Uhm.... these kids listen to screamo, not emo.

Emo stands for emotionally different, or just emotional. They apply to a certain group of people, who are often self proclaimed losers, who go around a in big group, being rejected. The characteristics of emos are normally: -a fringe which covers 3 or 4 fifths of the face, prferably dyed black. This is thought to be a reason they are attracted to their own genger; they cannot see. -attention-seeking gashes on one or both wrists, normally to show off, but many just wear wristbands and fake depression. -eyeliner. And how\! As in, so much they cry black tears. Which happens alot. Though many emo boys prefer to wear a complete set of make-up. - An array of non existant problems. - Thick rimmed black glasses. - Very tight black drainpipes, which look impossible but are actually so comfy, you forget everyones staring at you like emo scum. - An obbsession with a) "The Nightmare Before Christmas" b)"Spongebob SquarePants" c)"lovemetal" (whatever that is) d)dressing as a cat. However wierd they may seem, my emo friends are great (just watch out for the emotions). They like being called emos but not greebos, as it makes them over-emotional. So please, if you see someone dressed as a cat in the street, please dont yell, "HEY GREEBO\!\!\! GOING TO YOUR GREEBO STORE, EMO-SEXUAL???"

A poseur, someone who has followed the latest trend of pop-punk style bands that have been given the label 'emo'. Always wear the same as each other (tight jeans, tight tops, glasses, leopard print, converse ect), always listen to the same bands (the used, funeral for a friend, panic\! at the disco ect), always have the same hair (dyed black or blonde, floppy emo fringe with layers AND/OR extentions ect). A FAD - as soon as it goes out of fashion emo will never have existed and chavs can go back to being chavs like they were before polka dots came back to 'new look'. After all who was emo before emo became fashionable?

Most people on Myspace, people at emo gigs e.g falloutboy, ANYONE ANYWHERE wearing above items.

I have friends that r Goth and we r easily confused. emos r kids that have been through allot and just are tired of life. if you get to know an emo, we're like any other kid. and no, cutting doesn’t hurt if your already crying.

A sheeplike creature often seen milling about waiting for their next opportunity to pour disdain on the very culture they embrace, although the music scene is said to be blamed for the name Emo meaning EMOtive music i think it far more likey it is due to the emo's style guru Emo Philips the comedian. also see otaku for more info on the original roots of this culture

Although a seemingly us trend this began in the otaku region of japan which spawned the older trend named after the region these "Otaku" kids were almost identical to emo teens except that they started to become violent and several muders were commited. both of these trends are merely precursors to the cult of the drummers seen in the graphic novel "Halo Jones" first seen in the comic 2000ad the drummers were a group of emo lookalikes who had a hypnotic drumbeat implanted in there brains that would make them almost catatonic with bouts of psychotic violence very much like the otaku

Comedian. Full name "Emo Philips" In the world of monotone joke tellers throwing plastic grins in front of simulated brick walls at comedy clubs across the country it is always a breath of fresh air when a comedian is able to stand out not only on his persona but also on extremely well written material. And out of those comedians with the possible exception of Bill Hicks and Denis Leary few are able to find monumental success not only in United States but also over in Europe. Which brings us to Emo Philips. If you have never heard or seen Emo perform it would be very difficult to describe. As one reviewer writes: "With his Prince Valiant haircut, wide-eyed expression of innocence and gawky gestures, Emo Philips has an individual, albeit bizarre, style." But behind the unsettling persona lays some of the best written material found any place. Practically a staple on television during the comedy boom Emo continues to entertain people with his extremely clever and well honed material.

Most claim they worshop satin and dont believe in God but thier religion is based off events in the bible so makes their so called "religion" untrue and claim those who dont worshop the devil posuers..

Emos are a misunderstood subculture. They listen to emo music. They wear dark, melodramatic clothes and makeup. Their culture is polluted by wannabes who go on about how their life is not easy and the world is against them. Their emotions are confuing to them, and they often feel depressed and/or misunderstood. Emos are somewhat similar to goths in their appearance, though not nearly as hardcore. They are often stereotyped for slitting their wrists, though this is certainly a rarity.

A guy who wears abnormally tight clothing and cries about how his life "sucks" as an upper-middle class child. Usually wears make-up on a regular basis and claims to hate their life in their suburban town. Also has some hair cut with hair that goes to one side and covers their eye area. Prone to cutting themselves. A girl who wears mostly black and has hair covering her face. Claims she wants a guy who is "in touch" with their feelings, until she actually gets in a relationship with a guy who is "in touch" with their feelings. Usually goes for a guy who wears just as much make-up and or more make-up than themselves. Also goes for guys who look much like themselves and guys who weigh less than 120 lbs. Prone to cutting themselves. Emo music = horrible music that usually requires very little knowledge on any instrument and requires no vocal talent. The guitarist usually strums 3 cords on the guitar over and over in the same pattern.

Emo music = My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Simple plan, etc.

an emo isnt someone who sits in the corner and slits there wrist whilst sitting in a dark room alone. it is some one who doesnt jump for joy when the colour pink is mentioned and prefers to wear black. they are emotional because of all the crap that all the other people put us through. we dont slit our wrists but if we do then we have a good reason. take a look at the world and then try telling us its not shit. were not all suicidal, we just dont get the point of life if were just going to end up dead. all your lifes accomplishments will be piontless. stop pissing off us emos because at one time or another you will feel the same way as us.

"Dan is so emo. All he does is whine about how hard it is to talk to girls." "Ugh. Don't you know that emo hasn't been cool since 2004." "Dan is so emo. He busted a hole in his new Adidas sneakers, and started to cry."

A group of teenagers and early adults who listen to music that is based majorly on emotions. They are goth kids who want to be punk.. but are to sad to do so and they're also a bunch of trendy kids... They typically tend to be wearing all black mostly, dyed black hair (usually covering most of the face or full throttle bangs) with think black square plastic glasses, hightops or low tops and band t-shirts/bunnyhugs or thrift store clothes, they also have their ears stretched to some sort of gauge. they have major mood swings, and are usually depressed or outragously happy and then real angry and then sad and then angry and then happy and it's so random. their favorite music is mainly some guy whining about how is girlfriend/boyfriend broke up with him and he can't stand himself and so he should kill himself or it's about something else "tragic" or amazingly "beautiful"... Emo kids tend to whine a lot about how their lives are so unbearble and depressing.. when really they mostly have lives just like the rest of us.. and just need to learn to deal with it.. They also are known to carry around song books containing their "inner most soul" and can "play" guitar (and by play i mean.. can't play at all) they also have a habit of listening to uhknown underground emo bands and when they hear other people listening to them they are likely to just stop listening to that band because they "sold out" and will find a new unknown band to idolize... they are real weird.. and i suggest not talking to them.. although they can be really entertaining..

a quarter of the kids in any major city. the used... My Chemical Romance.. Deathcab for cutie.. i dunno any others.. i hate emo.. they should like.. die or something.... hahaha... how many emo kids does it take to screw in a light bulb?\! NONE\!\!\! they are all too busy trying to kill themselves in the dark.. what happens when an Emo kid turns 27? nobody knows.. they all are dead by then..

Emo was invented in the late 80s as an attempt by white suburbanites to keep african-americans from migrating to the suburbs. The word is derived from its NSA acronym EMO (Ebony Migration Obliterator). It was designed to possess everything black people hate: irritating vocals, whiny lyrics, subdued dress style, and a complete undancability. Black people react to this music as if they were hearing nails on a chalk board and it is greatly responsible for the racial divide in suburbs today.

There has never been a black man attend a emo concert ever.

Emo, contrary to popular belief, is not a style of dress, or a genre of music, although the term is often used to classify those things that are associated with and popular amongst emo people. Emo is an emotion, a feeling. Emo is when you find no hope. Emo is when you feel like there is no one who cares or understands. Emo is the type of emotion many feel when they reach rock bottom

John felt emo for months after his best friend died.
