okay, firstly i gotta say EMO KIDS DO NOT SLIT THEIR WRISTS OR WANT TO DIE. some emos might, but mostly they dont. emo is a type of music which is normally guys singing, but is has proper connections with the world and actually means something.also, its a kind of style and a kind of clothes. and i gota say emos ARE COOL AND THEY ROCK. they are not depressed and are usually happy, kind and caring people who understand each other. they shouldnt be labeled as suicidists (if thats even a word but u know what i mean) and they shouldn't be judged because of how they dress.

You can normally recognise an emo ::
skinny/drain pipe (tight) jeans
band or just darkly coloured t's
sometimes a hoodie, normally with neon colours (eg black with neon stars)
converse or vans , normally dirty and worn
normally studded belt or wrist band
favourite band name on ther wristband
usually pale skin, dark makeup round the eyes - loads of eyeliner
and 2 be honest normally ther really hot
THEY DO NOT WEAR BIG GLASSES ANY MORE

ROCK ON EMO KIDS !!!!!!! (AND MCR WHO ALSO ROCK THE WORLD)

Not exactly an attitude or style, just a way to describe a person who listenes to the sub genre of punk. Usually an emo kid is bound into the music of Power Violence, Thrash, Hardcore, Pop Punk, Grind Core, Crust, and of course, Emo.

They like bands such as In/Humanity, Hour of The star, Shotmaker, Cap'n Jazz, Weep, etc.

Besides spending alot of time on Collective Zine, Underground Obituaries or Cross My Heart With A Knofe ,they spend their time at DIY shows.

These types of people are fairly uncommon in the world these days and most come from foreign countries since America has been infested with a horde of people who do not know the definition of emo or what emo was about. They often feel very passionate about the mockery of the term by either kids who say they are 'emo' when in fact they are not, or when people make fun of 'emo' by showing a male in heavy Eye Liner and tight jeans.

Trying to regain Emotional Hardcore's punk and DIY roots are most likely impossible, due to the refusal of one to accept the true definition from a true emo kid.

The fact this term is still being misinterpreted shows a big amount of ignorance when it comes to musical genres or music as a whole.

So douchebag-ish metal heads, fake punk kids, or internet nerds, take your Slayer and your fucking conformist media shit mettallica and shove it up your ass.
Emo kids dig DIY shows and are real punks.

ok, everyone is saying that being "emo" is being against all the trends, but thats impossible when Emo is a trend itself. I cannot go anywhere where I do not see an emo person. Its horrible! If being emo is about being an "individual" then y do u all look the same?? Sure, its ok 2 b depressed sometimes, but making it a lifestyle? Thats just wrong.....
emo kid: Hey. do u want to listen to some MCR, GC, FOB, and SOAD?
normal kid: WTF? are those diseases???
emo kid: no, they r bands...
normal kid: cant u just say the whole fucking name or does it make u feel depressed? fucking emo! go away and listen 2 some SUBLIME!

The dirty lovechildren of underground rock kids, the scene and the dying goth movement. In other words, once middle class kids raped the grunge scene, the alternative scene, and when prep was too mainstream, they had to find something else. Luckily enough, lots of bands were crappily re-doing the sixties. From this and the remnants of the goth era, ( and some actually GOOD musical inflences thrown in ), this birthed the degenerate group of whiners we all come and know as emo kids. Now, they were helped a little. High-and-mighty scene kids were their idols and Hot Topic their vehicle to awesome. Sadly, they'll never make it. And noone wants to be scene anyway. Most of those kids are in the ana community on livejournal and snort blow while listening to the YeahYeahYeahs. Anyhow, did I mention that emo kids also rise up and overtake evil establishments like Myspace and the mall, making them more evil. They also slit their wrists on a regular basis, cry to AFI songs and try to be cool by playing oldschool Nintendo. (Even though most of them weren't alive in the 80's.) They also frequent sites on the internet that make fun of them, trying to refute the obvious with bad typing, bad grammar, and overall weak arguments. However, they aren't as full of crap as furries. Noone is below a furry. Except perhaps a lolicon.
Common emo kid quotes:

" I just bought the new My Chemical Romance CD with my mom's credit card. Then I cried all night because she doesn't understand how deeply Gerard Way speaks to the world. "

" Yeah, I hate Bush because he eats and rapes babies...at least Hot Topic told me so. "

" God, life just makes me want to die. "

an emo kids is a kid that is emo. cant get much more simple than that. but contrare to popular belief most do not cut, well just their wrist for that matter, they might have crappy lives they may not. anyones life can seem meaningless if you look at it in the right direction. Also Emo people do like being alone so whats the point of bothering them just to make fun of em. like wtf. also emo kids dont call them selves emo, so if someone does theyre just looking for atention like FOB. Emo people hate being looked at so dont stare, also it's rude to stare.

Jill/Emo Girl: I AM NOT DEPRESSED!!
'Normal' Kid: Why do you listen to songs that say cut my wrists then you stupid cutter?
Jill/Emo Girl: I like the music...its the same as you listening to songs saying I shoot hoes...just because a song says something doesn't mean the person who listens to it copies it...so go away now.
'Normal' Kid: Okay then (mumbles under breath) stupid emo kids
