Get the emo mug.A subculture which started out as a music genre with influences from the punk/alternative scene of Washington D.C. in the late 1980s. In recent years, it has expanded to become an entire subculture. Originally, followers of the emo subculture were kids who didn't fit into the mainstream and considered themselves to be non-conformists. Sadly, however, the emo label has become so popular that nowadays most emos are kids who grew up living life exactly the same as every other fucking kid, and now they have decided to go emo, simply because it is what every other kid is doing. However, some emo kids are those who turned emo before it became the mainstream, and these are the true non-conformists.
True non-conformist free-thinking emo kid: Oh, look, you're reading trainspotting! I love Irvine Welsh!
Mindless conformist 'emo' kid: What the fuck you faggot. Reading's for gays and pussies. Go watch wrestling like evryone else.

Get the emo mug.an emo IS NOT as some people seem to think a cross between a punk/skater/goth. they are their own person! some people seem to think they are emos because of the clothes they where but that is not true. and emo is someone who wheres that certain type of clothing, listens to a certain type of music which is of a soft rock genre and are often depressed , make their lives out to be really bad and horrible and often self-harm. although i must make this clear! it is not only emos who self harm anyone can do it and be suicidal! ANYONE! just because u r depressed it dusnt make u an emo!
i self-harmed for a while but im not an emo because i dont wear loads of eyeliner and i have bright blonde hair and i hav a lot of quite girly clothes :D
