Someone who usually has short, black choppy hair with a side fringe bang that covers most of their face. They wear funky punkish clothes that are totally random and unexpected and in my book {really cool}. Their hair sometimes has one or two strands of un natural hair color such as red, pink, green, purple, ect. Very original style; both the guys and girls wear black nailpolish and eyeliner...oh by the way emo stands for any of the following:emotional punk movement, emotional hardcore, or just emotional. Emo kids are usually quiet and iscolated...they see themselves as outcasts. Also, emo has alot to do with the music, not just fashion and groups. If you dont listen to emo music, which is usually dark and depressing, you are not emo. Not all emos have suicidal thoughts and cut themselves;this is just a stereotype!!! Also, they hate it when you confuse them with scene, goth, or punk kids because they are all VERY different genres. You can usually find an emo kid sitting alone somewhere, or with a very small group of other emos, writing poetry, into a good book, or doing something creative. That's really all it is, creativity and being yourself.
Emo Kid: Somewhat overly emotional person who dresses in mostly black and some color who listens to emo music, such as My chemical romance, Sunny Day Real estate, Mineral, saetia, Indian summer, ect.

Okay, lets get things straight here. Emo kids are actually sometimes the coolist people around. Okay, okay. Just because I said you'd be "cool" dont brand yourself emo cus thats just stupid...
Emo kids are usually picked on, or mocked. In fact, kids who get mocked for being emo may not even be emo. Prime example, at school i have two freinds. They spend there lunchtimes singing to Panic! and MCR (badly i must say, but they are entertaining) due to this, our table at school has been branded the "emo table" oooookay. Theres no logic in that! I mean, we all like listening to rock music (thus that may be why we have our brand -emo table) but whatever!
Noooow. If you wanna find a TRUE emo kid, lets look for the common signs, no? (boys)
. Usually long hair that covers an eye. Sometimes also be spiked at the top. Usually dyed black, or can be brown. (Emo boy hair is hawt <3)
. Black eyeliner. Yep, emo boys wear eyeliner XD
. Heavy rimmed glasses, usually black. Classed as "nerd glasses
. Tight t shirts that may have a symbolic meaning. Also they usually wear a black hooded jumper with a band logo on the back
. A messenger bag with pin badges of bands up the strap
. Maybe skinny jeans designed for woman...
. Ever converse all star or vans
. Wrist bands
-Clothing is about the same for emo girls.
Right, and btw all emo kids DONT cut themselves! JEEEZ

Emo kids normally act depressed. They don't like the world very much since they have had their hearts broken a few too many times and almost no one understands them. They normally write music, poems, or draw.

i consider myself an emo kid.
it's good to be emotional and listen
to emo music to let it all out instead
of keeping it all bottled up until your heart bleeds out your ass.

Anyone who buys into the shamelessly self-pitying whinetastic crap that is emo music. Simple. That said, since most emo kids are teenagers, they can't help being self-centered. A lot of research indicates that teenagers are, as a rule, brain damaged (literally, their rational thinking and socioemotional evaluation centers are decayed and disconnected) and thus go aound in a mask so as not to have to fess up to their confusion.

Another classification bolstered into the media and popular culture to turn individuals into a demographic, generating lots of dough for the economy.
If you like music for depth, lyrically or musically, underground or mainstream, rock or electronic, all that means is that you understand what music SHOULD be about. It's not about what artists you listen to, or how "scene" you are, whatever "scene" you most closely tie yourself to. 's going ouIf you listen to only mainstream or only underground music, get a life. Open your minds, kids.
If you get depressed sometimes and see the world as a bleak place, well, damn straight - life isn't supposed to be easy. It's the act of conquering your problems that makes you happy - not avoiding them. And no, being emotional does not put you in the "emo", "fag", or "pussy" class. If you're getting depressed about material possessions (i.e. mom and dad won't buy that new mesh hoodie for you until next month), go buy a nice pretty gun and figure out what to do with it (not your parents, yourself! duh.). If you really think that people are good in nature, please seek counseling immediately.
When you assimilate yourself to one of these cliquey classifications, you could potentially rob yourself of your individuality, and build an invisible wall. It's called "wedge tactics", and the government uses the media to divide its people with them. So if you think that by associating yourself with a preset counterculture you're "sticking it to the man", think again.
The implication is not that falling into an "emo kid" classification, or any predefined social rung, automatically makes you a product - in theory, basing your life around a single preconceived concept does. Try being an individual, even if it went out of style.

ok, first of all, lets get this straight,
emo is not short for "emotional"
emo is short for "emotive-hardcore," a genre of music that was sparked in the 80's by Rites of Spring. It is not a stereotype for boys who cut their hair at 45 degree angles, wear girl jeans, do not wash their hair for 3 days, and wear makeup. It does not mean pathetic high pitched male vocals singing metaphors such as "my words are knives cutting into your soul", and its not bands like Bright Eyes.pee-est-thats called INDIE.
just thought I'd clear up some of those bullshit definitions.
