An emo boy cannot be grouped by any stereotype. The various people who go "hurr that emo slits his wrists and dresses like a girl hurr he's so pathetic hurr" clearly fear what they don't understand. Emo boys don't all wear makeup, and the vast majority don't slit their wrists. Similarly, not all emos listen to bands such as Fallout Boy and My Chemical Romance. They listen to what they want, when they want.

The only thing that actually defines an "emo" boy is how in touch with his emotions he is. They can be happy, sad, bored, whatever. They're just not afraid to show it.

Many people are emo, and even their closest friends don't know it.
*No proper example of an emo boy, Sorry*

despite what many people think, emo boys are not all wrist cutting fags. yes, some of us wear make up, and some of us are homosexual or bisexual. emo means emotional. an emo boy is one who doesn't mind a good cry every now and then. he listens to any music he wants and doesn't care what other people think. they are not sad all the time, they are not emo because of family matters, and they are not emo because "its whats cool." they are very nice, (or complete assholes, it depends on who they are inside. I'm not going to lie and say I'm the nicest person in the world,) and they try not to judge other people. the one thing that annoys an emo boy more than anything is the stereotypes that follows emos. the aforementioned "wrist cutting fags" its a major stereotype. in short, we are generally nice people who accept other nice people. not to mention emo boys are pretty cute ;)
jock: hey, are you a wrist cutting fag?
emo boy: no, I'm not. i am a boy who is in touch with his emotions. i wasn't pushed too hard by my father to live up to his own failed dreams of glory. my mother was not overbearing. i don't have friends who only pretend to like me because I'm apart of their clique as the typical homophobic football player who showers with other guys in the locker room.

jock: *looks down* .. shut up..

Someone who expresses their interest and EMOtions in an obvious or outward way such as dress. They have great respect for music and art. They typically don't follow the mainstream Unless that's what they like. They be who they want to be and if others don't approve of who they are, that's their problem. They typically wear tight skinny jeans, a slim fit tee that sports one of their favorite bands and accessories such as studded Metal belts, hoodies, bracelets, and various piercings. Most also have dyed black and straightened hair and like to wear eyeliner. Some even wear black nail polish

An emo boy is a male who has bought into the MTV fad of over sensitivity. Usually, the male is of college age and is going through "the motions". Hopefully, in time, the emo boy with grow out of his confusion and become a regular man.

It's a popular misconception that emo boys are more in touch with their emotions than non-emo males. It's generally a drama paradox, showing more emotion that one has.

An emo boy is usually seen wearing: Jet black hair, black clothing, thrift store clothing with misc. logos, Chuck Tailors (or similar), black army style caps, studded belt, tight pants

The emo male is usually well groomed and metrosexual.
Now I could make fun here but, we're all guilty of buying into things. Everyone is capable of following a fad. So, cheer up emo kid, it's only a growing stage of your life.

The latest attempt by an increasingly hostile world to annoy me into eating a bullet.
The emo boy has the kind of pathetic need for attention normally only found in goths, drag queens and politicians.
Much like those three groups, emo boys dress and act the way they do not to gain public approval or disapproval, but to get validation of an otherwise vapid, meaningless existence.
Most will grow out of it, thank Xenu, and the few who don't will descend to the level of sad self-caricature before, mercifully, taking their own lives using the most whiny, overly-dramatic means at their disposal. The suicide note will most likely be on the last page of his journal and will probably take the form of a poem that is, much like the rest of the book's contents, noticeably bad.
"Hey, there's an emo boy, want to beat him up?"
"What's the point? Nothing we can do to him will make his existence any more sad and pathetic than it already is."
