The dark side of preps.

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.

i believe it's a stereotype. unwashed black/drk brown chin length hair with a swoop. sweaters, tight jeans, scarves, everything vintage. permanent look of "im sad and no one understands me" on face. this "look" can work for most people in some degree, you can be an walking ad for GAP one day, and the next day pull off being emo.

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.)

(adjective) attention seeking pseudo-depressive individuals (usually middle-class teenage boys) who cry about how they can't get laid, and hate their parents. 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.

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 goths punks or skaters 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.

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...
