Okay, lets get things straight here. Emo kids are actually sometimes the coolist people around. Okay, okay. Just because I said you'd be "cool" dont brand yourself emo cus thats just stupid...
Emo kids are usually picked on, or mocked. In fact, kids who get mocked for being emo may not even be emo. Prime example, at school i have two freinds. They spend there lunchtimes singing to Panic! and MCR (badly i must say, but they are entertaining) due to this, our table at school has been branded the "emo table" oooookay. Theres no logic in that! I mean, we all like listening to rock music (thus that may be why we have our brand -emo table) but whatever!

Noooow. If you wanna find a TRUE emo kid, lets look for the common signs, no? (boys)
. Usually long hair that covers an eye. Sometimes also be spiked at the top. Usually dyed black, or can be brown. (Emo boy hair is hawt <3)
. Black eyeliner. Yep, emo boys wear eyeliner XD
. Heavy rimmed glasses, usually black. Classed as "nerd glasses
. Tight t shirts that may have a symbolic meaning. Also they usually wear a black hooded jumper with a band logo on the back
. A messenger bag with pin badges of bands up the strap
. Maybe skinny jeans designed for woman...
. Ever converse all star or vans
. Wrist bands

-Clothing is about the same for emo girls.

Right, and btw all emo kids DONT cut themselves! JEEEZ

Anyone who buys into the shamelessly self-pitying whinetastic crap that is emo music. Simple. That said, since most emo kids are teenagers, they can't help being self-centered. A lot of research indicates that teenagers are, as a rule, brain damaged (literally, their rational thinking and socioemotional evaluation centers are decayed and disconnected) and thus go aound in a mask so as not to have to fess up to their confusion.
I was an emo kid for a while... now I choose not to label myself.

Another classification bolstered into the media and popular culture to turn individuals into a demographic, generating lots of dough for the economy.

If you like music for depth, lyrically or musically, underground or mainstream, rock or electronic, all that means is that you understand what music SHOULD be about. It's not about what artists you listen to, or how "scene" you are, whatever "scene" you most closely tie yourself to. 's going ouIf you listen to only mainstream or only underground music, get a life. Open your minds, kids.

If you get depressed sometimes and see the world as a bleak place, well, damn straight - life isn't supposed to be easy. It's the act of conquering your problems that makes you happy - not avoiding them. And no, being emotional does not put you in the "emo", "fag", or "pussy" class. If you're getting depressed about material possessions (i.e. mom and dad won't buy that new mesh hoodie for you until next month), go buy a nice pretty gun and figure out what to do with it (not your parents, yourself! duh.). If you really think that people are good in nature, please seek counseling immediately.

When you assimilate yourself to one of these cliquey classifications, you could potentially rob yourself of your individuality, and build an invisible wall. It's called "wedge tactics", and the government uses the media to divide its people with them. So if you think that by associating yourself with a preset counterculture you're "sticking it to the man", think again.

The implication is not that falling into an "emo kid" classification, or any predefined social rung, automatically makes you a product - in theory, basing your life around a single preconceived concept does. Try being an individual, even if it went out of style.
INDIVIDUAL: I listen to Converge, Aphex Twin, Hero of a Hundred Fights, Zao, The Postal Service, Rammstein, Mindless Self Indulgence, Tool, Pete Yorn, Pantera, The Beatles, Black Flag, Stavesacre, Tech Itch, Buju Banton, Linkin Park, Rites of Spring, Wes Davis, Justin Timberlake, Paul Oakenfold, Squarepusher, Engine Down, Every Time I Die, Coldplay, Evol Intent, Braid, Vex'd, Tiesto, Sunny Day Real Estate, Venetian Snares, The Pixies, Weather Report, Wu Tang Clan, Aesop Rock, The Cars, My Chemical Romance, Tom Waits, Portraits of Past, Nirvana, Slayer, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Boards of Canada...

Emo kids are pussys, especially the boy emo kids. Some respect should be shown to the real emo kids, not the pussy-ass fakers who do just for attention. about 80% of emo kids are fake lieing bastards who are desperate for pussy, but cant get any cuz their either, ugly, fat, retarded, have no muscle, or D all of the above. So they act depressed to get pussy from the nasty emo girls. If you are an emo kid trying to become cool, your only going to look like a fag to the rest of the world if you ever do become cool to the emo crowd. Oh and for all the emo kids pissed of with me, and want to know what my problem with ya, well my only problem with is your a pussy the makes ur tiny problems seem like big ones and noone really gives a shit, so suck it up and fix the problem PUSSY.
I dont have a problem with real emo kids, just with the fake ass-pussy faking ones that are desperate for any type of pussy.

Emo Kids are becomming the centerpiece of pop-culture today. They took Punk and Goth idealisms, watered them down and then removed the DIY self satisfaction. Attention starved brats, Emo kids often fake depression for attention. While this practice has been around for generations amongst the worlds youth, never has it been so rampant and glorified as it is with today emo kids. In their ongoing attempts to get attention from their friends and peers, Emo Kids often embelish their problems or antagonize situations in their own lives in order to paint a more vibrant picture of why they think their lives suck. Emo Kids often try to form a feeling of individuality by alienating those who do no wear things that they wear, shop at places they shop and listen to what they listen to. When this so called "individuallity" is attacked or threatened in any way, Emo Kids go on the deffensive and claim that people don't understand them. To try and give advice to an emo kid is not unlike talking to a brick wall... the difference is that the brick wall will take your advice in silence, whereas the emo kid will make a big deal about it, over analyze it, criticize it and then dispose of any advice givin all while not taking the time to actually think about the advice in the first place. Doomed to refuse help from everyone, and then wonder why nobody is there in the end. Sticking primarily to their own, Emo Kids are incredibally clique-y. Said cliquiness is the result of an overly ambitious drive for indiviuality, caused by a drastic need for attention. To surmise: Emo Kids are, by and by, just a bunch of poseurs. They have managed to create an entire sub-culture built apon not thinking for themselves and competing for attention through means such as cutting, suicide threats, fake bi-sexuality, glorified drug and alchohol use and depressing attitudes.
Is the definition of Emo Kid not a good enough example?

Emo Kid....Well all these so called "Emo Kids" claim to be non conformists...Yet they all dress the same, listen to the same music, and whinge about the same things like how society sucks these days, and that nobody listens to them and that noone understands. No emo will admit to being an emo because they get picked on for being emo, when half the time they are just attention seekers from middle to upper class suburban families, who whine about the fact that their parents dont love them and dont give them attention, but that would be due to the fact that their parents are both too busy with work, earning money to maintain that 2 storey house in the upper class suburbs, paying for the "EMO KIDS" private school fees.
The Emo Kid sits in the double garage of his two storey house in the Suburbs, blaring parkway drive on his $2000 sound system which he got from his parents for his birthday and complains that his parents dont understand him....
