Emo

Don't you ever, ever call emo punk. You are horribly misunderstood.
Emo - Girl pants, cotton sweater, itchy scarf, converse. long black hair covering the face. Sad attitude, wrist slitter.

Punk - Tight jeans, leather jacket/denim jacket, studs, Black Boots. Multi colored hair, Liberty spikes, Mohawk, etc. Never sad, always happy, always partying.

Emo

Emo is a social movement entirely ripped off from other social movements that came before.

Some would argue better movements, because it could at least be claimed it hadn't been done before or was an improvement upon established social movements.
Goth: Already did the dark clothing, makeup, hair, chains, jewelry, sad, poetic, down beat, quirky, artistic, (You get my drift)...

Punk: Edgy, angst, angry, political, emotional, DIY, anti-establishment, hard, loud, aggressive,

Mod: Tight clothing, jeans, shirts, sneakers, haircuts, upbeat, fast, angst ridden,

New Wave: The Flock of Seagulls haircut, black and white striped clothing, dark, angst, unrequited love, pop, emotional

Does not stand for emotional, like most people think. It stand for emotive hardcore which is a genre of music that came about in the mid 1980's in washington D.C from hardcore punk.

Emo

Emo is just a word. It loosely describes a group of people that are inspired by music, have an alternative dress sense but cannot be called Goths or Punks. Emo is a new sub-culture of fashion and being that draws influence from predecessors' best bits whilst retaining its individuality. Usually it's only parents that mistake an 'Emu' for a Goth.

Emos are similar to punks in that they are not apologetic about dressing differently, although you're probably less likely to get headbutted for offending one. One aspect of Emo culture is the friendships between them and the way they appreciate one other. Whilst some peer groups condemn someone for daring to change or look different. Emo can be casual but bright; with contrasting colours and prints like a Nu-Punk Contrast, or can be darker, smarter and more sophisticated but with an elaborate edge.

The people involved in it didn't wake up one morning and think 'I want to be an Emo'. Emo isn't any particular fashion trend; it can be everything and nothing - its an attitude.

Taking risks isn't without its risks though, obviously, Emos are marked as targets of abuse for being different. Some people have to stereo-type things to understand them, others want to bring it down to its base level and others want to destroy what is different.
Stereotypical Emo - A person who wears skinny jeans, different shirts, and usually have black hair that is swept-ed across the face, or hair that covers or hovers over one of the eye.

emo

emotionally challenged youth desperately seeking either a. the attention of their parents or b. the attention of their friends and will undoubtedly continue not understanding why they a. have parents that don't want anything to do with them and b. have no friends

these unfortunate people can be identified by spotting the terrible 80's attire and cosmetic products in a fashion that is directly attempting disgust in an effort for one to "see the inner beauty" of their toils.
The group called themselves emo, but were, in reality, scared children seeking the solace of poor fashion sense.
