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.

Emo is used to describe a person thats in this hole called depression. Girls cut their hair short. Guys grow their hair out. They also wear black and band merch. They also listen to bands like My Chemical Romance, Twenty One Pilots, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, etc. Some emos cut and kill themselves.
That boy seems emo.
