The wrong term for "emo kids." Emo is NOT short for emotional, as many people may think; it is an abbreviation for "emotive." Many people make the mistake of pointing to a group of kids with tight pants and long side bangs and exclaiming, "OMG look at those emos!!!" That's basically the same thing as saying, "OMG look at those emotives!" or "OMG look at those depresses!"
Incorrect:
Girl: "Those emos at that table are lame."
Correct:
Girl: "Those emo kids at that table look depressed."
Girl: "Those emos at that table are lame."
Correct:
Girl: "Those emo kids at that table look depressed."

Get the EMOmug. Emo began as a music style in the '90's, and has become associated with bands like My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy etc. It became a style that mostly (NOT ALWAYS) focuses on the vintage-look (retro brand names etc). Being emo myself, you're all gonna think 'OMG IT'S AN EMO, SHE'S, LIKE, GONNA BE, LIKE, OMGWTFBBQ MY LIFE SUCKS EMO'S RULE THEY'RE SO HARDCORE OMG LMAO' or something like that. (I'm not taking the mick out of anyone, I swear. Sorry if I offended someone.) I'm not depressed all the time, I'm not always writing dark poems about life, and I'm not anorexically skinny (I laugh about that).
Why is emo associated with self-harm? Just because some people decided that any depressing self-destruction music MUST be emo?
Emos are usually, as far as I know, into the retro emo bands that began the emo craze, and the more modern bands like Panic! @ The Disco etc. The most common feature of emo is the hair with a side-parting. The bangs are NOT always covering one eye, NOT always dark, NOT always straight, NOT always shaggy for boys and NOT always short for girls.
The thing I've noticed that made me laugh about people's descriptions for emo boys was that they all wear trousers fitted for girls. WHAT A CROCK. I've never seen an emo boy dressed in trousers that are fit for girls. It would look a bit dumb, I mean, with the hips and all. So what if the trousers might be tight? It doesn't mean they're for girls! SERIOUSLY STRANGE. But if there is an emo boy who wears girls trousers, SORRY.
Another big thing for emo is the gloves/bracelettes and scraves. NOT everyone wears them but it's pretty common, from what I've seen.
I AM NOT AN EXPERT. This is my opinion and it's not always right! Emo is a fashion sense that may have stereotypes but not all emos follow them. Who can tell me they know EXACTLY what the emo fashion is? Anyone? I don't think even emos can really tell me.

Him: Everyone says I'm not emo because my hair isn't cut across and isn't dark
Her: Stereotypes are fun, lets point and laugh
*Him and Her both point and laugh at the steroetypes dancing on the ceiling*

Get the emomug. Reject of the Goth subgroup, although you won't be able to get a Goth to admit that these idiots were once Goth. Tend to have ridiculous hair-do's consisting of a random color mixed with black hair dye, tend to grow their hair over their eyes, usually wear extremely tight pants that if a non-emo wore would destroy a non-emo's genitalia, and Emo's tend to wear a shitload of make-up, completing the image of an Emo.
Often times the Emo will adopt the "woe is me" attitude, complaining that their life sucks and that they cannot get a girlfriend/boyfriend, which is funny because if you go to Youtube and look up Emo videos, you'll likely find said whiny bitch making out with five of their same sex friends. As well, they tend to exhibit a ton of butthurt over being ostracized for being Emo, not understanding that looking like a fag or a dyke is asking to be made fun of or beaten up. They also tend to run their mouth to other cultural subgroups in a vain attempt to look cool or tough, which instead leads to said Emo either running home, crying and writing bad poetry because their "victim" hurt their feelings, or leads to the Emo's hospitalization at the hands of the non-emo.
Emo's tend to write very bad poetry and waste the internet's bandwidth complaining about all their insignificant problems. Should conflict with the other subgroups arise, emo's will tend to gather in groups and attempt to intimidate the person(s) they started shit with. Seeing as Emo's are as intimidating as a care bear on morphine, this act is utterly futile. In the rare event that the Emo actually has non-Emo friends, this form of intimidation may have some effect on the person(s) in question. However, this is just goes to show that Emo's are too cowardly to fight their own battles. If one actually does have the courage to fight their own battle, they tend to lose very badly and in an embarrassing fashion, especially if fighting a Mexican.
Guys should be wary however, that due to the collective attitudes that all Emo's exhibit and the biological uncertainty of an Emo, that beating the shit out of one could land you in jail,due to the fact that you wailed on a woman who you thought was a dude.

I hate Emo's. I had no problems with them until high school when one tried to intimidate my friend who cried out "emo" when he walked by. she's rather odd and is lacking in height. I tried to explain that she's odd and that i told her not to start anything when he came back, but said Emo started to talk shit to me. I calmly pointed out that his sister's pants were tight enough to cause a rash or jock itch, causing the emo faggot to wander off, ironically calling me a fag.
Two days later, said Emo came back with ten of his friends (who were non-emo, oddly enough) and tried to start a fight with me. Rather than backing down, i did what any one should do: call the fucker out on his wish to kick my ass. This went on for 20 minutes until a teacher broke up the altercation. Said Emo did not fight me, and mouthed off all the way to the office. Seriously, fucking Emo's piss me off.

Get the emomug. Emo is someone who has a fringe that covers one of their eyes, wear a T-shirt with a logo, tight jeans and wears eyeliner.
They often listen to bands like Lostprophets and My Chemical Romance.
Many people think that they want to die, and that they cut themselves, cry in dark corners etc, but they DON'T! Emo's are the nicest people that you can talk to. All of my friends are emo, and they do dress like an emo, and so do I but there is nothing wrong with them.
Emo is also a genre of music.

Emo 1: Hey I just got the new Lostprophets album!
Emo 2: Oh they rock!
Friend of emos: Yeah I like them too.
*chav walks by and laughs*
Emo 1: Let em get on with it, we can look how we want.
Emo 2: Yeah, we are *really* gonna go and cut and kill ourselves.
Emo 1: Pff.... Life rocks!

Get the emomug. The way stupid teenagers spend their lives crying and thinking that their lives are horrible (they certainly are).
Also many emo teenagers like to pretend they tried to commite suicide just to gain a little attention... pathetic.
Please, if you are a emo, get a life and listen to real music, you are not special!!!
