im not sure if u've noticed but where i come from emo is being used more as an insult more than a label. people r always joking about being an emo and pretending to slit their wrists it is kinda pathetic.
also emos r seen as weak and cry-babies, and dont like to do anything. im emo and im stronger than most of the guys who arent and i dont cry and i skateboard so im only part emo.
also no offence to emos but i dont no about u but im pretty sick of people saying im sh*t at sports and everything. it annoys me, the only reason i dont do anything is cus of them. but i think emos shud do more things to show them tht they can.
last thing. emos dont reli have a bad point of few on life. but the only reason the world dont have time fot emos is cus it dont have time for anyone.
so heres a definition of emo - open minded being, who listens to killer music and isnt afraid to express their emotions. but dont always slit their wrists.

Someone who is very emotional. They dress however they want to dress, and they don't always slit their wrists and want to shoot themselves. A lot of emo people just write poetry to deal with life. And just to make a note, emos are not posers. You don't choose to be emo. Emo chooses you. In my opinion, the emo haters need to get to know emo kids before trashing them.
It's also a genre of music.

I am emo, and I don't slit my wrists or want to kill myself. I write poetry to deal with the crappy hand life has dealt me.

1. People with problems who don't want to put forth the effort to fix them.
2. People who make up their own problems, then cry about them.

2. Music you listen to after you find out your girlfriend/boyfriend's dead, your mom's a hooker and your dad's on crack/cocaine.
3. A form of music reserved for whiny little teenaged adolescents.

Emo is basically the bastard child of the Nu wave movement from the 80's, but worse. Emo kids tend to be depressed and annoying (not always mind you, there are all way exceptions). Most are cowards and will not fight their own fights but rather gather as many of their freinds as possiable to jump one person. They wear tight sweaters, girls jeans and converses. Recently they have taken to wearing bandana around their necks and faces. Oddly enough the Emo girls tend to look more like boys and the boys like girls.

The modern concept of "emo" was invented by bands such as My Chemical Romance. Fans (usually teenagers and people in their early 20's) of their music moulded themselves to fit the stereotype of a miserable, self-harming, depression lover. They dress in the outfits of the bandmembers they like, usually including clothing like black skinny jeans, scribbled-on converse all-stars, band t-shirts, black-rimmed glasses (even though most dont actually need to wear glasses) and conforming "cover-one-eye" dyed black haircuts.
Key differences between emos and people with genuine mood disorders (eg, clincal depression, dysthymia, bipolar disorder etc) is that they enjoy being depressed, they enjoy having the status of being a self-harmer because they want to fit in with the emo group.
For example, often it is the case that emos post images of their scars and even give other emos advice on how to self harm. Genuine depressives do not want to be miserable; they acknowledge how their lives have been damaged and would genuinely try anything not to have depression, even if it meant covering up their mental health problem in order to have a life.
Genuine self-harmers often cover their scars and most of the time they are only ever found out by mistake.
To emos, being depressed is something they like being because it lets them fit in with the emo crowd.

Q1:Why did you cut yourself?
Emo:I went on this cool site and the people on it said that if you're having a bad day cutting helps. Plus all my friends do it anyway.
A person with a geniune mental health problem:
I have no other way of dealing with my mh problems, I do it so I can get through them and live my life like everyone else does.
