Typically an "emo" is a stereotype surrounding most tweens-teens who dress in an alternative style. Their makeup, hair, and clothes mostly define their look, as "scene" or "emo". This "alternative" fashion they conform themselves to is derived from the "in" styles most preppy and or popular females tend to wear. Along with the basic designs for the clothing "emo" symbols are added onto the clothing in order to make it appear alternative.
Emo, is mostly used as an insult, or a joke. Although the term doesn't derive from the word Emotional, it infact comes from Emotional/Hardcore music. (typically where most of today's stereotypes and subcatagories origionate) Most emo children tend to hold up some arguement that states, "Emo is a way of life..." They continue with meaningful definitions that support their arguements. However most of the filth we encounter, in life, chatrooms, schools, and websites, are just conformist vile kids who claim to be different. In all actuality these are the "preps" of the alternative world.
They claim to be different and unique. They all look the same, how does this defend their arguement?
Now for the definition: These confused children are ones who are usually middle class-upper middle class. They like to complain about their supposibly horrible lives, and about how noone could possibly understand them. They create problems and overdramatize even the smallest situation, for the purpose of fabricating a world of terror for themselves. Which typically ends in self-mutilation on small scales. They don't accept anyone unless they look, dress, act, and present themselves the way they do. They are usually annorexic or bulemic. Even though they are usually underweight they tend to think they are fat. Also they have turned a choice of sexuality into a fad.. These are the reasons why gays, lesbians, and bisexuals will never have the rights we deserve. To sum it up. They are posers, filth, attention whores, sad excuses for human beings, a trend, a fad, worthless and meaningless, and should be shot so we didn't have to hear their pitiful cries.

Emo is linked to a various number of things......
However most of these aren't true. Emo is not a hairstyle, a clothes style or even a youngster cutting themselves.
Emo is a lifstyle. Although some may cut themselves. More than likely they dont. Emo is a younger generation of not-so-understood teens that get noticed by dressing and actied differently. This has been around since the 80's but has not been recognized until the new millenium. We are not wanna be Japanease people and we are not pussies. Most of us are stronger than preps and jocks (emotionally of course). We don't like being targeted for who we are and certainly dont like being called obscene names such as earlier mentioned pussy.We want to be respected and left alone as you would want. We are not a style of music as many of you think. We are a society in ourselves, and if your nice we won't kick your ass and hook your intestines up to our car batteries and drag you behind our car!

A true emo is very moody. They are happy one minute and suicidal the next. We are very quiet around new people and dont get along with preps or chavs very well.
We have a very wide range of music tastes. Most people think we like bands like Bullet For My Valentine and My Chemical Romance(FYI MCR IS NOT EMO!!!,THEY ARE ALTERNATIVE!!!) But we can listen to different music like Fegie, Jeffree Star, and Tupac Shakur (Who was emo)

Emo is a type of music characterised by songs that are "emotional" and often dark. Emo also refers to a sort of subculture of teens and twentysomethings who listen to that type of music, and dress in a slightly dark, individualistic style. Emo is also associated with depression and self-injury, but to be emo you don't have to have experienced either of these. Emo kids are usually disliked by the popular crowd because they really don't want to fit in with them, but they don't care because the people who they do fit in with are a whole lot nicer in their opinion. Some people say that emo is stupid because a kid will try and be different and find friends who are also trying to be different, and they will be the same as their friends, but really, what alternative style hasn't that happened to? All the punk or gothic or metalhead kids have always stood out on their own and fit in with their friends, and really, that's better than fitting in with everyone. Emo is not really my thing, and I don't consider myself emo, but I'm proud of those who do.
"Jenny" likes Dashboard Confessional and Jimmy Eat World. She wears lots of eye makeup and is a good writer. she hates to fit in with the rest of the world. She considers herself to be emo.

A depressing subculture. Subculture deriving from 'sub' (below) and 'culture' (culture) meaning "Below/insignificant/lower culture".
The collective term for which is unanimously a 'futility of emos'.

I was down at my record shop, and towards the back I saw this massive futility of emos just standing there silently.

Listen to 'emotional' rock music, in other words SHIT music such as MCR ( my chemical romance) HIM, evanescence, sometimes blink 182 and other shite....
They are very OTT and dramatic often crying for no reason or self harming to make themselves feel even more understood... they like the idea of being a rebel and will welcome evreyone who thinks that. they think themselves misunderstood and have to bury themselves under their black fringes with blonde tips and MCR jackets.....
They wear black square framed glasses and sometimes piercings.....
