emo kids 

1) The fans of emo music (emocore, emotional hardcore), a music genre consisting of hardcore rock with angsty lyrics and a good dose of screaming. The singers/screamers of emo music are typically relatively young guys with feminine voices. Emo bands are also (in stereotype) primarily from New Jersey.

2) The style of clothing stereotypically worn by fans of emo music. This consists of, in general: tight band t-shirts or vintage 80's t-shirts, longer (messy) hair often died black, tight (usual girl's) pants, shoes by Vans or Converse, messenger bags, anything checkered (usually black-and-white or black-and-pink), studded belts, thick-framed glasses, neckties, etc.
(Note: girl emo kids often cut their hair short in the back and angled down in the front, less often died black)

3) The mood that stereotypically displays being an emo kid. They are generally considered the subculture of high-school, and while sometimes referred to as manic depressive or "cutters," are usually quite social. Very romantic, often downtrodden. More realistically, teenagers who listen to heavy music and have no qualms with displaying their emotions. (ie, don't feel the need to prove themselves as "bad-@$$," like many rock fans.)

Emo kids listen to many of the following bands: Thursday, Death Cab for Cutie, UnderOath, Fallout Boy, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, As Cities Burn, etc.

emo kids 

An Emo Kid, is someone who's EMOTIONAL, Emotional doesn't necessarily mean sad all the time, it just means that emotions waver easily. I'm emo, I'm not always sad, I don't have a specific emotion that I stick to for attention, just when we do have a strong emotion, it's very deep and, yes it is kind of a style aswell, with the drain pipe jeans thing, and the side fringe, except right now I have a foward fringe, so the stereotype doesnt exactly always apply, don't judge us, everyone should be allowed to be who they want to be.

Emo kids -
Dedicated in love
Obvious when we're sad or happy
We're not all loners either

emo kids' anthem 

There really is no specific anthem for emo kids because they all have slightly different choices in their x.core music. However, most emo anthems would usually have lyrics about suicide, how their life sucks, how the world sucks, how their girlfriend/boyfriend dumped them...it really depends on the occasion of the listener.

Some emo kids' anthems could be the following:
1. I'm not okay (I promise) --> MCR
2. Note to self --> From First To Last
3. Dead and Gone --> I Am The Avalanche
4. The truth about heaven --> Armor For Sleep
5. I don't feel very receptive today --> Underoath

Emo-kid: "I am so not conformist and my emo anthem is not on the list...ooo SO THERE" *sniffle*

Emo Kid Definition:
Ok the proper definition of an Emo kid, I can give. Now a real Emo kid (not a poser) wears w/e they feel like, mostly it can be tight jeans (girls) and tight clothes in general and might have a piercing or two and usually wear all black with black hair. however Emo kids could dress just like normal people, or sometimes even wear more gothic than Emo clothes really creating a little emo/goth mix trend. Emo’s almost always have their hair in their face, at least covering one eye, most times both. Emo kids usually listen to love songs, sad music, and now and then some modern; they also like metal now and then. now all the hype about Emo kids cutting themselves can be true, cutting in a way is very addicting, pulling the Emo kid, into more depression and anger from the cutting causing them to cut more (the depressing music only makes this worse) and some Emo kids don’t cut at all (however most do, simply out of depression) emo's are very passionate kind, and understand the world a lot more than any stuck up prep, rocker, ect. And can be very romantic, usually they have hobbies such as: writing poetry,
Reading,
Listening to music.
Emo kids usually don’t have many friends and may seem quiet or shy but are actually some of the most social people you'll know once you meet one.

(All these depend on how Emo the subject in question is)
Fact - Emo aren't Emo because they are despised, they are despised because they are Emo.

Fact - Emo’s try to be different...

Fact - The Emos' inner turmoil stems from one crushing fact. They purport to only want to go out in the rain - to hide the tears that stream endlessly down their faces - yet the rain messes up their "ridiculously cool" hair - what to do? You can see the harm this kind of problem inflicts...

Fact - Tell an Emo that you and everyone else understands and cares and they will have a breakdown (depending on how Emo they are)

(Most of this r disputed)

Myth - Emos can't walk outside if there is sunlight, that's why they all have this white skin and dark hair. (May be true at times)

Example:
Emo music:
Hawthorn heights,
My chemical romance,
H.I.M.,
Panic! At the Disco.
ECT.

Emo clothes:
Black,
Usually tight,
Hair:
Black as well usually cover anywhere from 3/5 of the face to all of their face, they usually try to hide their eyes so no one can see how they feel.

(Emo kids r also usually very sensitive)

Emo is short for the word emotional.
Insted of discussing what the word Emo does mean I am going to discuss what the word does NOT mean.
The word Emotional is not defined as meaning sad or depressed it is defined as {Being full of fealing} so how is it that the word Emo being derived from the word Emotional has come to be a word associated with sadness and depression.
Emo: {The Bastardisation of the word Emotionalmeaning "Full of fealing".
Fealing!! Not sadness. Fealing!!

eg: " It dosent take much to make us emo kids happy"
eg: " emo kids fall in love so easy"
