this is my definition.

we are the people who cannot be defined by the "normal" society around us.
that is that.
emo isnt about tight pants, black hair, band shirts.
its about how we feel towards life and music in general.
no. you DONT HAVE TO LIKE EMO MUSIC to be EMO.
no. you DONT HAVE TO WEAR TIGHT PANTS to be EMO.
no. you DONT HAVE TO WRITE POETRY to be EMO.
(but if you do write. thats grand. keep it up.)
to be "emo": know that the world is truly beautiful and worth trying to find that truth.
its all in the mind.
not the body.

Ok to start off emo posers are really annoying they claim they are emo but when situations change so does there persona.
1. They have the "image" of an emo (the hair, tight pants, keys clipped onto their belt loop, "a must have emo band shirt to signify there emoness")
2. The are not really emotional its an act to get some dipshit girl to like them. i.e. they cant write poems or play guitar (when they try they turn the distortion up to 10 and cant even finish a fucking guitar riff) sometimes they will even try to sing! *person shoots themselves with gun*
3. The biggest thing is there "adaptabiltiy" heres a perfect example... i was at this rap/emo band concert a couple weeks back. the first act was this horrendous rap group sure enough all the wannabe emos are trying to dance really fast like a black guy "you know all the usher shit" and trying to show off for their girls i was about to slap one of them because the fakeness was getting to me...., but heres the clincher when the emo band comes on there all back to crying NOT there moshing? yeah since when do emos mosh whatever happened to sit and cry in the corner because i ran out of tampons? hmm im not sure

4 actually heres the best part once the shows over there all quiet and sad and regular emo whats that all about?
ugh the mysterious mind of a person wanting to fit in...
POSERS! stay away from these people

scene kids usually go to most of the local shows. they wear tight pants(guys&&girls), heavy makeup, tight little boy and little girl clothing. they shop at thrift stores. sometimes wearing an ascot/bandana. they listen to certain types of music(hardcore, grungecore, indie, rock, screamo, ect. only listing a few). some have peircings and tattoos. and their against rap music. but they enjoy listening to it. and talking like "gangsters". they say fo sho.they cuss a lot. some say 'bang bang guns go bang' and are in groups on myspace.com that have scene titles(murderxscene, bangbang, ect., ect.) they mosh. if you don't have a myspace and call yourself 'scene', be ashamed. because its against the 'rules' not to have a myspace and be scene at the same time. scene kid's myspaces usually are very small and tiny. have a long list of bands some they don't even like or listen to. they have a bagillion gazillion friends aand have 10+ comment on their pictures. and they take billions of pictures of themselves. and have messed up hair and dye their hair billions of different colors. usually add z's to their writing. 'whore' a lot of people. and write things like, omgzzz, lolzz, like,whoah. thats the sexx

before i begin...i've noticed alot of mean and sarcastic people writing definitions for what a scene kid is and even tho they have gotten alot of it right(i.e tight pants,hair,obsessions w/myspace and dinosaurs,etc...)they all seem to think that we(yes, i am a scene girl) are a big secret club of assholes.and although we do have a tendancy to be an exculsive bunch i cant help but wonder if all you people who are dissing us have been hurt by the fact that their local group of scenesters has rejected their attempt to be included as part of the group,therefore causing said asshole to type up these kinds of definitions (here and on myspace) in jelous rage.
also i'd think that they are the same types who put up anti-scene groups and probably some anti-emo groups because these individuals usually cant tell the difference.
ANYHOO...
scene boy:
(aka my typical boyfriend/friend/friends boyfriend)
-black hair including/not limited to a chunk of random color(usually blonde or red...sometimes blue)
-wears make-up(optional,but very hott)
-tight pants or gym shorts if into the hardcore scene as well
-must attend shows and is known at all local venues as a regular or as part of a band.
-tight shirts to show off sexy skinny-ness
-must date cute/pretty/sexy scene girl
-piercings are a plus

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.

description for an "emo." tight pants, hair in eyes, whiskey drinking weiners crying about life and ex-girlfriends.

a brisk wiggeling of the fingers that makes a males dick fall off. the result of the of the dick falling off is the males transition into the wearing of tight "emo boy" pants.
