There are two varieties of Emo Kids:

1. Common "Emo" Kid
Listens to a crappy music ripoff genere called Emo, has no genitiles, writes the suckiest poetry, cuts themselves over moronic things, cries in dark corners, and have no sense of self Value and is generally goth-like. But goths are better than these scumbags.

2. Rarer Emo Kid
This is the kind that was INTENDED. Usually wears black, but is pretty nice in general. Still listens to crappy music though.

Two types of emo kids

Common "Emo" Kid: Gawd life sucks, like the most eternal abyss in hell, like my lost love of my life, my blood, and my soul. *Cries like a fucking baby and cuts self* I will now listen to dashboard confessional since it is the only thing that understands my pain...

Rarer Emo Kid: *listens to dashboard confessional and walks on*

gay little posers that love attention. say they dont and then cry and tell all their little depressing friends about how their life sucks. i think they secretly have contests for whos the most emolishous. stupid hyper girls often find them hot, before they mature. im sorry, grow up. their skinny little boys and fat little girls. i mean BIG girls. they need to stop being attention whores and kill themselvess like their always threatening to. notice its never emo MEN or even GUYS, or emo WOMEN. emo kids and emos, or emo children, because its like five year old fighting over a toy.
emo child 1= ZOMG. sara the love of my life has shattered my already incomplete sole to the core. i must go relieve the anguish trapped in my soul. *cut cut*

emo child 2= BUT MY PARENTS ARE SEPERATING. i believe that my vain existence has caused this tearing of worlds and i must punish myself for my flaws. *slash slash*

preppy cool person= ive been broken up with and my parents are divorced. stfu, little drama queens. gosh. emo kids...

One who purposely dresses differently, simply for the sake of being different, but without the actual understanding of real individuality.

An Emo Kid is a term used to identify not one, but many different styles of dress, music and life styles, so this will be a rather broad definition. But, to make it easier, I will give the definition of only three different kinds of Emo kids. I am emo so I know what I am talking about.
1) There is the "Hard Core" Emo, who listens to very heavy music, usually made by under ground bands, but could possibly be semi mainstream. Examples of Hardcore Emo music would be bands such as Bring Me the Horizon, Arch Enemy, Berzeker, and others like that. These kids who are Hardcore Emos, dress in typical black and white, but are now moving to color, wearing lumberjack plaid and darker colors. They almost always have long hair, which is brushed over just above the eyebrows, not in front of but over. This is the kind of Emo that are not noticed as much as the others because they are not vocal about being Emo, but in all actuality they are the most common form of "Emo".
2) Now we come to the more stereotypical Emo, the one that listens to mellow Indie music and cries a lot (even though they don’t, a lot of people think they do). These Emo's are Emo even though they don't wear all black; instead they wear light colored cloths like white button down shirts and pale green scarves. Unlike the other forms of Emo Kids, you will rarely see these kids in Hot Topic, they more like thrift stores, or GAP, or sometimes American Eagle and Hollister (I know, it's really surprising!) We, in the Emo Subculture, call these kids Indie Emo, or just Emo. They listen to slightly more known bands like Death Cab for Cutie, Gym Class Heroes, Snow Patrol, and Playradioplay!. (Note to editor, Playradioplay! is the actual band name so don't "correct" that particular grammar mistake) These Emos are actually pretty rare to find, but they start most of the Emo styles.
3) Now this kind of “Emo” makes the rest of us in the subculture pretty mad. Now I will tell you why: because they aren’t, but they are the most vocal about being Emo. They are the ones who listen to bands like My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, and all the other mainstream bands that real Emo Kids hate (Nothing against those bands if you happen to like them, but real Emo Kids just don’t like them). They are the kids who give Emos a bad name, with wrist slitting, crying a lot, and “Emo Kissing”. Real Emo’s call these kids, “Wanna-be Emo”, or if they are being nice, “Altern-Emo’s”. They are not real Emo’s. Most of these Kids are bi or homosexual in some form or another.

The point to all of this is that I got on here and, as an Emo, got annoyed by the people out side the Emo subculture trying to define an Emo. I kept seeing only the definition of the "Altern-Emo", so i thought i would put some light on this subject.

So now to a more broad definition that will completely remove “Altern-Emos” from the picture. Real Emos don’t listen to very much if any mainstream music, whether it be Death-core metal, or underground indie, it is usually not heard of by anyone other than the people in that subculture. They usually write a lot of poetry about love, life, friends, or the lack of all the above. Emo’s are very interested in art that has hidden meanings or dark symbolism imbedded in it, and most of the time only the artist knows what the symbolism is or what the hidden meaning of his/her picture or poetry is. They may or may not be involved with their family, depending on the person. Emos almost always have gone through trying Family or friend situations and while trying to deal with it turned to music and art, which usually leads them to being full fledged Emo.

a sad teenager who is caught up in the depressing parts of life and cannot deal with their problems; someone who listens to sad love songs and cries a lot and obsesses about love and the lack thereof; the look: to get the emo kid look, just dye your hair black or red or black AND red, make sure your hair covers one eye, wear wristbands to hide your cuts, and otherwise dress like the opposite sex.
Cheer up emo kid! Stupid emo kid! Sad emo kids. Crying emo girl...
