Emo

A genre of music meaning "Emotional" that has recently turned into a style. The style consists of darker colors, band tees, razored, straight hairstyles, heavy eyeliner, converse/vans/osiris' and ripped jeans.
A teenager labeled "emo" is not the same as one labeled "scene." Scene is a brightly colored- teased hair- 80's sort of style.
Cutting is a common misconception of the emo style. Cutting comes along with depression, not a style. There are those who cut for attention or think they have to in order to be emo (which is not true.) It is considered offensive to those who cut for medical reasons when it's made fun of relating to emo kids.
The music listened to by a typical emo kid is usually metal-/death-/crabcore, "screamo," post-hardcore and punk rock. It's not uncommon to find cute bands and singers like Stephen Jerzak or Owl City scattered between the metal bands on their iPods, and maybe even some Kid Cudi or Lil Wayne.

*First guy* Haha! Look at those Emo fags. Their probably cutting themselves under that BMTH hoodie.
*Second, smarter guy* Dude, no. Shut up. You've got no idea what you're talking about.

emo

A: a genre of whiney music, associated with punk rock
B: someone who whines about something that is not tragic nor interesting
C: a "look" that involves pretending to look thoughtful and interesting by putting hair in the face and tilting the head down.

I have messy long hair, listen to rock music with feelings, and complain about my young middle-class life, therefore I am emo.

emo

seeing as there is much bullshit around about emo being angst ridden teens and melodramitc singers whining about relationships. Yet i have many emo Cds that have only 1 relationship song. Emo means emotive hardcore, not emotional. Its a genre of music, not a style. When kids call themselves emo. yes it is fake, and they are following a trend. But the music itself can also by called Post-hardcore. Emo music is ebout emotion
but every song in the world has an emotion.
Emo does it in a harder kind of way opposing the crappy sound of rap and bubblegum pop

emo kid: Im so emo i want to die
Me: GO fuck urself. emo is about the music

emo

Someone who dresses a certain way (you know the emo look) to maintain a stereotype. People SHOULD be able to wear skinny legs and loads of eyeliner etc. without it being emo or posery, but now they cant because no one cant tell the difference between people who like tight jeans etc. and someone who wears them soley for a look. My advice, sacrifice wearing tight jeans etc., they dont look good anyway. If possible try to create your own look, or not even a look, just be a person with clothes on, FUCK what people think. "Fuck what people think? Your saying to not wear certain things so people wont have an opinion. Thats what YOU think. Are you not a person?" I hear you say? Well if you dont care what people think you wont TRY to wear emo things and believe your unique. Having THAT hairstyle and being 'emotional' doesnt make you unique people. If you are trying to do that you are only getting sucked into this whirlpool of bullshit

emo wannabe poser shithead: I have a face-covering fringe and colourful hair, it isnt black, i broke ONE emo barrier. I'm unique now.

Educated Being: No you arent. Youre wearing colours; WOOPDIDOO! You are TRYING to be unique. Thats a problem you SIMPLE MINDED FOOL. Stop thinking so deeply into people opinions of you.

Emo

Pretty much a watered-down version of Goth. They wallow in self-pity, and overreact over everything. They tend to wear tight-fitted pants, scarves, eyeliner(yes, even if they're guys)and they flip their hair to cover up half of they're face. The guys look like girls, and the girls look like guys.

Girl #1: Wow, look at Jessica. She looks so sad.
Girl #2: Yeah I know, I think she's emo.

First off I would like to say emo is not emotional... it's something like emoite or something like that... a genre of music NOT like goth or sad or pansy stuff But, since the word has now come to mean that I will define the NEW term.
Emo is an adjective meaning goth but much less cool and more unnecessary hatefulness to yourself.

Ways to be emo:

1. Have an awesome life but make it seem like it sucks just so you can make people feel sorry for you.
(sadly the next one is how my idiot of a friend got turne)
2. Even though they know there life is great said to themselves one day,
"Emo is so cool! I wanna do it to!"
And thus the cycle begins....
3. Actually have a sucky life but are to much of a pansy to do anything about it.
4. Just love hurting them selfs because they're retarded.
Once they start it happens like this,
First they just wallowing in self pity until they finally brake and throw a sissy fit saying "You don't know anything about me or my bad life!"
Cry. (pansy)
Cut. (because there idiots... {non-wannabe: to mask the pain of there life with real pain})
finally at some point in there life {before they graduate collage) They either kill them selfs or realize how stupid they look and change there ways...

emo dude: My life is so sucky!
me: Good for you.....
emo dude: I mean no one understands me!
me: yea..... I don't either get over it...
emo dude: You just don't understand! :cry:
me: I really don't care.....
