These days, I'm not even sure what the hell emo is. Apparently it used to be a subgenre of hardcore punk, later became emocore (emotional hardcore), and somewhere within the last twenty or so years of its existence it changed into some damn stereotype or fashion style. Nowadays, its just whovever wears skinny jeans, old school or skater shoes, black rimmed glasses, tshirts of bands, and the jet black straight emo haircut. Have any or one or two of the following and some fool will come up to you and ask, "Are you emo?". Seriously..it's getting really ridiculous. You don't even need to cut yourself, just dress up like one and call yourself one. There, I just stereotyped emo and cutting (which I am clueless as to when did cutters become emo? aren't cutters just potentially suicidal people who just need help?)
Emo people are shy, sensitive, and emotional people. That's not how I see it at my school..maybe because all this stereotype stuff is brainwashing me. Or my highschool is messed up with all the "emo wannabees" lined up. Probably both, but I'm forever confused on the real meaning of emo. Give it another decade or two. Let's just wait and see how this emo will keep changing.

1) (1985) some guy: hey man, didn't you just love that Rites of Spring CD? it was cool but I heard its called emocore or something.
2) (today) some poser: got the haircut and I fit in the jeans..woot! cool now I just have to act..depressed..emotional..and maybe even cut myself to stand out!

Get the emomug. Alright let me get this straight for all you self-rightious jerks who think you know what I am when you really don't.
EMOS ARE NOT ALWAY DEPRESSED! I am emo (and so are most of my freinds) and we are always happy and having fun.
EMOS DO NOT ALL HATE THEIR LIVES! I happen to like my life and for those few that actually do hate them you insensitive preps should leave them alone
NOT ALL EMOS CUT THEMSELVES! That is but a steryo type. Although some might cut, you don't have to cut to be emo and you don't have to be emo to cut. You don't know what people go through and cutting is a way to forget the pain so don't tease them for it
The true definition of emo (in my opinion) is someone who is different. Who stands out in the crowd because they are truely amazing and others are just to obcessed with fitting in and being popular. Emo is someone who has an awesome sense of style without shopping at A&E or other name brands (except maybe hot topic) and who wear alot of (but not all) black becuase it goes well with neon colors. It is some one who doesn't fit in and doesn't want to becuase popular people are people like you who steryotype and call us stupid when they don't even know us.
Most of all, Emo is someone who puts up with all the crap the "in crowd" gives us and yet we still want to be oursevles: completely insane and epic! :)

Jerk: omg what's your problem you stupid emo! Did you forget to cut yourself yesterday becuase you were to busy wallowing in self pity?

Get the Emomug. Just because of the clothes or music one listens to..it makes them 'emo'. And for many years popular teenagers think 'emo' is short for emotional which isn't true. Teenagers and immature adults, basically 80% of people think being 'emo' is for attention. If that's the case; teenage girls wearing today's fashion will make them sluts as many of them dress like a tiger fucking attacked them. Most Emo's listen to pop punk, punk rock, or hardcore. They hate chavs and basically people trying to be tinie tempah or something i dont know.
A lot of Emo's listen to All Time Low Sleeping With Sirens You Me At Six. And nearly all teenage girls listen to those bands thinking they're cool and emo and different. No.
Emo's are known to have piercings (nose, lip, eyebrow) and adult Emo's will have tattoos too. Oh, and most people listen to pop punk so all of you must be fucking emo. Emo's sometimes wear black and colourful, stripy, different clothes. Not to be attention seekers but just because they like qwerky things and they don't want to be basic bitches like most of the population.
Oh and can i add that a Goth is someone who likes heavy metal and they basically hate everyone and they want to kill everyone and blood is the only thing that makes them happy.

I'm friends with Emo's and honestly they are the most happiest, funniest people in the world. People label Emo's as depressed and say Emo's self harm when my friends dont..a lot of emo's dont. They just want to be different. If this world wasn't so judgmental maybe chavs, goths, emo's even fucking ghetto kids will get along. But no, you're all judgmental and you judge everyone. Does it matter what colour your hair is, your weight, what you believe in. In fact, you should only judge a person if they worship Satan or something. Like why would you even look up this word? Just because you're poor pitiless life consists of taking the piss out of others? You're all fucking beautiful, ok? It doesn't matter who you are, what music you listen to, what style of clothing you like, you're still human. And judging someone for who they believe in and what they believe in in face inhumane.

Get the Emomug. Emo is known as different things for different people. Most people see it as people cutting themselves. Most definitions have been complaining about "emo people complaining". When a person cuts themselves, they don't advertise it to the world. they hide it. People who advertise it are not in pain, just seeking attention. People often mock people who do cut, because they don't understand. You will never understand until you feel it for yourself. Burning yourself is another common self inflicted pain.
People should really stop labeling each other and mocking what they don't understand.

Seamus was overwhelmed in emotional pain so he pressed a blade to his forearm.
This pain felt so right to him.
He wore a long sleeved shirt to school the next day.

Get the emomug. Used to refer to the breed of teen who listened to(and "related to") soft punk music, dyed their hair black, made a habit of inflicting pain to themself (such as the sliting of the wrists), wear black stovepipes that are too small, dress entirly in black, and act overly moody/unloved;
Now its been so overused that anyone who has the slightest fringe, listens to any type of rock music often, or wears any one piece of black clothing is stamped with title emo.
You don't realy even need to be over emotional as the name suggests or listen to the music (which in most peoples opinion are the two main emo propeties) anymore to earn the title.

1.) "You're an emo cos if those jeans were black they'd be emo jeans."
2.) Jim: "Have you heard the new blink 182 song?"
Bob: "Omg, i didnt know you turned emo."
3.) "You're such an emo, why did you get a fringe?"

Get the Emomug. Another word for the lowest, piece of trash, worthless scumbag losers in the world. can also be used to describe children that are well-off with fine lives but think they have it so hard.
if you see an emo kid you should not call the authorities, but attempt to take him/her out by yourself. they are harmless and will only fight back by crying or cutting them selves.
