emo

emo has become a commonly used term which really degrades the real definition. For instance high schoolers who miss turning in their homework say they are going to become emo, if they break up with their girlfriends they are feeling suicidal, if they can't go anywhere for spring break they are going to cut their legs off. these are gross exaggerations that are often used mostly by non-emo high schoolers.

the definition of emo is someone (usually a teenager) who is depressed, suicidal, and self-mutilates. it really is no laughing matter, because alot of emo's kill themselves before they can get help, and heres a few facts just to clear things up; emo's are not goths, and they are not mello dramatic teens, often emos have seriously messed up worlds, and family lives. As weird as it sounds to the non emo the taking out all your aggression through cutting can be an amazing release.
Also, you often can't tell when you are in the presence of an emo, not the real emo's, they are the quiet kids who seem to have life all put together, or the ones everyone gave up on. being an emo is no joke, but hey that's just the opinion of a past emo.

emo

A bunch of WHITE suburbanites that HAVE money and HAVE a family. also called yuppies. Kids who really don't have the balls to kill themselves and if they did would make the world a better place cause then no one would have to listen to their whining and bitching about how they have a shitty life, which most average people would love to have..yet they all have laptops, iPods, brand new Toyota's (by american) and enough money to buy all their Salvation Army cloths. Also, have you noticed that all the really hot and cute chicks are "emo" Damn what a waste of good pussy.
Guy: "damn that girl is hot"
Guy2: "yeah, to bad she's emo"
Guy: "figures, the fags get all the hot chicks"
Guy2: "don't worry, it'll be over soon"
Guy1: "nope, none of them have the balls to really kill themselves"

emo

in my opinion emo is a new life style but not as hardcore and pathatic like goth. there are happy emo too. generally emo is people affected by love. maybe they are dumped, their soulmates died, or they felt really lonely. emo is some kind of a way to express their feelings with theme colour of black, red and white. somtimes they just want to share their feelings..or maybe they even come from a broken family background.
he is an emo boy, yet he enjoys life.

emo is mostly a type of music...but i cant say that people arent emo themselves. emo is not a bad thing for every oser who thinks its is. most emo people do not hate the world or themselves at all. some just have shitty lives. emo people are very in touch with their emothions and have major mood swings. they are all really friendly and sweet people. they care about everyone they talk to. they also deeply long for love in their lives and have alot to give. they want more then surface feelings and they weant more out of relationships then just ass. they may listen to loud screaming music or seemingly horrid songs but if u ever take the chance to look at the lyrics...they r accutally really meaningful. not all of them cut either so get that idea outta ur mind. and even if they do...who the fuck cares...r they bothering you? do they try to get u to do it? NO. so leave them be. people really need to stop judging based on stereotypes and images.
maybe black is just their favorite color?
maybe they happen to like wearing tight pants?
who the fuck cares. its their personality that matters most so shut up and stop calling everyone emo...because its not just emo ppl who r called emo everyday...if someone looks depressed ppl go aww man wtf do u look so emo today? its like seriously SHUT THE FUCK UP. let people be who they are and just fucking deal with it.

dont call people emo...its not ur call. EMO ISNT EVEN A REAL WORD in my opinion.
no one is emo unless THEY say they are.

kid - im emo cuz i feel like it...even if it is just a type of music and not even a real word.
other kid - ok fine...its ur life.
