there is a checklist that each emo kid must complete before she/he can say that she/he is truly "in touch" with her/his emocity:
1. any means of preventing food from entering one's body (including, but not limited to, choosing to eat a raw-only, macrobiotic diet that essentially excludes any foods found in a local grocery store, taking pills for her/his depression which decrease appetite, piercing one's mouth shut with upper and lower labret piercings) such that one's weight never exceeds 90 pounds (for boys it should be under 75)
2. wearing "skinny" fashion jeans that inhibit proper walking by making knee bending an ambitious activity to attempt
3. for guys, their shirts should ALWAYS be too small to fit their girlfriend, or the guy they are fucking on the side
4. emo hair is KEY!: fashion mullets, side parting the hair to the point that specially formulated adhesive glue is required to keep the hair to one side, and fashion rat tails make up the general choices
5. hair must be black or so blonde that it is indistinguishable from white.
6. must drive a vespa (or a car so small that only you and your skinniest friend can fit)
7. wrist bands are also necessary to cover up the so-called "suicide attempt" scars
8. must be in/have been in a band at some point. lyrics must discuss only those topics which make the listener want to kill his/herself.
9. black rimmed glasses or fashion contacts are necessary. if no actual vision problem is present, one emo kid must purposefully hurt the other emo kids vision so a prescription for said glasses can be obtained.
10. must be able to whine incessantly about how much she/he hates her/his life and discuss how hard it is living in their parents' house, eating their parents' food and using their parents' money to buy their emo clothes and band equipment. hating their parents' for being "soooo strict" is also part of the emo code of conduct.
11. writing "lyrics" (suicide notes) during class, in a dark bedroom, or under willow trees on windy days must be done often to prevent any distance from forming between said individual and their soul.
12. sex is NOT an option if you are emo. rubbing your naked bones against anothers' while crying and whispering that this is the "closest you've ever been to someone" is now your version of sex if you are emo.
13. if you don't have a MYSPACE, just give up now, becuase you will NEVER make it in the world of emocity. get a myspace, take 31563486 pictures of yourself in your bedroom (with your $500 digital camera that your parents bought you) and try to look AS SAD AS POSSIBLE! ABSOLUTELY NO SMILING IS ALLOWED! place witty captions under the photo that discuss how "awkward" or "weird" you look in the photo. discard the 31563485 other pictures that were ACTUALLY bad and never speak of them again. pictures taken of yourself from above or in your bathroom mirror are a good start.
14. on the off chance that you ever experience a good time in your life, NEVER show it! this would totally wreck your emo cred that has taken lots of good time to build in the scene!! it's a hard crawl to the top of that emo ladder. just train yourself to sigh and say "god i'm depressed about my girlfriend leaving me" everytime you're about to smile or laugh.
15. talk about how no one understands you (or your friends) but NEVER let anyone who does not fit the emo rules listed above into your group. this would be detrimental to your cred.
16. KILL YOURSELF.

normaly just folk who dont like lables and because of that get the most stuck on them
everyone thinks that emos;
wear skinny jeans
listen to screamo music
write sad poetry
sit in a corner slitting his/her wrists
are suicidal
(if you do thats your choice)
we're just normal people for crying out loud

Ok.
I'm sick of seeing this.
Emo = Emotional.
It's a lie.
Emo is short for Emotive Hardcore, a music genre in the 80's. Then MTV messed up the definition, called lots of bands 'emo' and made a whole image for them. They brought yet another label that wasn't needed into this world. Now all that comes out of 'Emo' is bullying and being rejected because you're not cool enough.
News flash.
'Emo' doesn't make you a different person.
So stop acting like it does.

EMO KID
This is a dumb label and is only out there to make people feel lonely and rejected.
LABELS SUCK.

I myself am a emo kid and this is what I think...
All the people that diss them should take a look at their own lifes and are just jealous because we can spell.
I myself do not cut or whine or listen to morbidly depressing music i listen to emotional music.
I dont shop at hot topic, much.., but thats better than all you anti-emos shopping at nike and soccerworld.
I think emos are emos because they are not afraid to express themselves and there emotions and y'all going to have to live with it.
emo=dude,
you=not dude...work it out

First things first, "emo" is NOT short for emotional... Only the "scenekids" think that.After all, surely all songs ever written intend on having some form of emotion in them? Dashboard confessional is not emo. Emo kids don't all have the regulation, long fringe, black dyed hair. Emo kids are not the scene kids!

Prep in black. Does the same shit as every other emo kid, and calls it nonconformist. They should get a swift punch in the face from something called reality
Preps: Im gonna go to abercrombie, buy some overpriced shit, and drink and have unprotected sex
Emo Kids: Im gonna go to hot topic, buy some over priced shit, and drink and have unprotected sex

okay, firstly i gotta say EMO KIDS DO NOT SLIT THEIR WRISTS OR WANT TO DIE. some emos might, but mostly they dont. emo is a type of music which is normally guys singing, but is has proper connections with the world and actually means something.also, its a kind of style and a kind of clothes. and i gota say emos ARE COOL AND THEY ROCK. they are not depressed and are usually happy, kind and caring people who understand each other. they shouldnt be labeled as suicidists (if thats even a word but u know what i mean) and they should be judged because of how they dress.
You can normally recognise an emo ::
skinny/drain pipe (tight) jeans
band or just darkly coloured t's
sometimes a hoodie, normally with neon colours (eg black with neon stars)
converse or vans , normally dirty and worn
normally studded belt or wrist band
favourite band name on ther wristband
usually pale skin, dark makeup round the eyes - loads of eyeliner
dark hair (black, or red maybe) with a sweeping side fringe that normally covers at least one eye
and 2 be honest normally ther really hot
THEY DO NOT WEAR BIG GLASSES ANY MORE
ROCK ON EMO KIDS !!!!!!! (AND MCR WHO ALSO ROCK THE WORLD)
