Anyone who dresses in dark clothes, with baggy cargo pants with enough pockets to hold any guns they might want to bring to school. Usually covered in chains (enough that you can hear them before you see them). Probly listen to some band that the name itself makes you want to cut yourself. Wear gloves with the fingers cut off because for some reason only their palms get cold. Have grimy long hair, and most importantly, NONE OF THEM KNOW THEY ARE EMOS. It is proven fact that if you ask someone if they were emo or goth when they are covered in chains, crazy-ass band t shirts, or hair that looks like it hasn't been washed in a few weeks thats a foot long, they will answer, looking at you as if you just asked what color an orange is, and say,"I'm not emo!"
I started listening to some screamo bands and my friend said he had never seen an emo wearing Hollister before. I told him to hit me over the head with a frying pan if I ever came into school with 5 pounds of chains on my pants like one of those crazy emo kids.

A social classification that has been bastardized by scenesters, rich preps, and wannabe goths united. A true emo kid does not label him/herself as being "emo"...often this label is foisted on him or her against the alleged emo kid's will. True emo kids listen to whatever the hell music they feel like, and it is often poetic or expressive. Emo is not a clothing style, cutting your wrists, or being a frequent buyer at Hot Topic. Those who call themselves "emo" are most likely just trying to be "scene" and have really screwed up the genre through wearing generic, borderline gothic clothing that all their sad little friends wear.
FAKE EMO KID tries to be emo because it is "scene" at the moment. Is often rich and frequents expensive stores like Hot Topic to cultivate a flawless emo image. May go so far as to draw fake scars in strategic locations so as to look depressed and suicidal. Claims to listen to indie bands that no one else has heard...and neither has the fake emo kid.
TRUE EMO KID was most likely emo before this was a stupid fad. May shop at hot topic, but only if they actually like the clothing, not because they think it will make them look cool. Probably classified by friends and others as "emo"...the label is often not self-professed in the case of the true emo kid. Doesn't give a shit whether music is mainstream or not...it just has to be artistic.
