This group (notice I didn't use the word 'individuals') is mostly characterized by kids from middle school to high school age. Emo kids are very rarely adults because if your still enough of a pussy to be emo when you're 20, you actually kill yourself when you start to realize that you had no idea what depression(or 'the deep black emptiness thats raping my withered soul' for translation purposes) really is.
The second largest characterization is by their dress-code, taste in media (notice I didn't say art. See porn if you want art) and writing poetry with all the same literary devices and genre. The music is usually made by someone who has managed to get rich off of being the most pathetic people the fad has to offer(raise a glass if you see them). They seem to think that dressing exactly the same(black everything so don't bother with your high beams) is also a sign of individuality (See individuality). Their clothes are all purchased, or scavenged, from patronizing all the same places: garbage bins, wal-mart lost and found, thrift stores, Hot Topic, and gratuitously burglarizing the storage buildings of pop stars from the 80's.
Finally, the third largest characterization is the insistence on being known as an individual whilst being part of the largest fad in recent history. Most of these children would say that they are individuals because they do what they want when they want. The fault in this logic is that everyone in America does the exact same thing. I highly doubt most of America's youth is still being dressed by their parents and are deprived of choice. They get uppity about getting called goth as well (if you ripped off the culture of an entire group of people that are just as stupid just because you where to scared to be as hardcore as they were, would you want somebody bringing that up all the time?). In effect, all anybody manages to do being an 'emo kid' is to subject yourself to ridicule, dress like a moron, and most likely end up with a head full of regret later on in life about how stupid you were to make out with a member of the same sex just to be seen as 'cool'.
They usually are found to frequent malls(a pop-culture hub oddly enough), MySpace and/or Face Book. Their pictures are from a 45 degree angle above their face. (See money shot)

"Holy shit, I think I just ran over an emo kid."

Get the emo kidmug. Emo kids TRY to be unique, but are a uniform society. They all look the same, they sound the same, they dress the same, they listen to the same music. It's a homogeneous blend, if you will, of stupid teenagers attempting to be unique while falling into the very stereotypes they are trying to rebel from.
"I'm so unique...Look at my hair, my glasses, my girl pants. Everything about me is so unique that coicidentally every person within this cliche is identical to me. I'm so depressed" - Emo kid

Get the emo kidmug. (negative connotation):A Robert Smith wanna-be, most of whom have probably never even heard of the Cure nor do most understand the meaning of his lyrics. Many often complain about how dark and depressing life is, living in the suburbs with mommy and daddy all the while. Also common to emo kids is a feigned interest in all things deep, dark and meaningful. Nor do most know that true emo originated in the 80's, although not by name, and NOT because it was considered to be cool.

Get the emo kidmug. To reject pop culture by doing something equally as mainstream and trendy. Makes sence hey? Apparently i am too wise to understand it. I am also loved by all women. At least i am in my neurological processes of recognition and interpretation of this life.
***AT THE NITECLUB***
Mike: Ladies, lets take a moment away from talking about how successful I am to contemplate what drugs one would need to abuse in order to blur their judgment enough to dress and act like that emo kid.
Group of ladies: Who is this guy that is leaning at the shooter bar and talking to us.
Girl #1: I don't know but he is talking about your emo boyfriend.
Girl #2: Lets kick his ass! He looks like he could get his ass kicked by a girl.
Girl #3: Why has he been trolling the shooter bar all night?
Girl #4: I don't know, he does that most nights, and he is usually here alone.

Get the emo kidmug. Emo kids are easy to identify. They all have a swoop type haircut just like every member of Hawthorne Heights. They wear unresonably tight clothes, and the men are built like ken dolls(i.e. flat in the front) Usually have painted finger nails and both genders shave their legs. They also wear an unreasonable amount of eyeliner. Are usually seen in the mall in large groups that are dressed similairly (like a gang, except if they were all gay and just came off an assembly line). They like to draw attention to themselves by yelling random things such as "monkey nipple" and "ghoneria" thinking its funny, but they are just being chimmers. They think they are acting "original" but they just mimic what they see on MTV. They claim to be emotional but are just panzies. They tend to pour all their "emotions" into a diary. They "cut" themselves because their perfect surburban life is too hard.
Following the example of the band members from Hawthorne Heights, little Timmy went in the bathroom and began to cut himself, he is now an emo kid.
