An emo is someone who has long hair, usually covering one eye or both, and wears black skinny jeans, band t-shirts, and beanies, as well as having a ton of bracelets. They usually listen to bands like My Chemical Romance, Bullet For My Valentine, or something of that genre (emo). They may or may not wear makeup as well as a large amount of black eyeliner (both males and females). Not all emos cut themselves, they are not devil worshippers, and they aren't all depressed. While there are some cringy losers that call themselves emo, for the most part, emos are pretty cool. Emos are like any other clique. There are some asswipe emos and there are some friendly emos.
Asswipe emo: My life sucks, nobody understands me, I want to die, angst angst angst.
Normal Emo: Gerard Way is our lord and savior.

Get the Emomug. Definitely a miss used word... in my expericance it takes an emo a little bit of time to open up in both feelings and apperance. Just because one is emo doesnt mean they harm themselves or others. Not all emos are quiet, actually a lot of us are loud and cheerful, and mainly cause we hid behind a face, but no all the time. Emos are really chill people and are the best at giving advice. We also have a great taste in music! ;) I feel like people make fun of emos for no reason, and that should change, I believe we should bring the emo era back and people will finally know how awesome it is!
"Yo bro look at the kid he is dressed like a freak!"
"bro chill he's just emo he's actually a really cool guy!"

Get the Emomug. I want to set the record straight of SO MANY PEOPLE being TERRIBLE to the stereotype of emo.
Emo does not mean you cut your self. It doesn't mean you wear skinny jeans, or tight shirts, or messed up shoes or greasy hair.
There are certain people in the world that don't care what others think of them too much, truly. They actually do like the color black, and while other people might not see their issues as important, somethings are backed with painful memories that are very important. just because their hair is black, or covers their face, doesn't mean they do it just for the sake of having it. A lot of people truly like the style.
A lot of emos ARE artistic, because most commonly being emo is when you're more in touch with yourself then other people your age. In fact, most of the people who are emo don't even classify themselves as emo becuase labels are not necessary.
If you cut yourself, it doesn't mean your emo, and if you don't it doesn't mean you aren't. The two things have nothing to do with each other!
Emo was originally short of emotional, in a musical genre sense. As it developed into a 'label', it means the same. A lot of emo people feel extreme emotions whether they be happy or sad.
I will admit there are emo posers, who cut themselves and dress for the sake of seeming badass, but some people seriously like the style!
Don't be mean about it, because what if I constantly stereoptyped and made fun of you? How would you feel?

Fake: Scratches wrists to make it look like they have scars, reads definitions on urban dictionary to find out how to be emo, goes around saying they're emo
Real: Dresses how they want, acts how they want, aren't influenced too easily, very in touch with who they are, a lot are very artistic and have real issues that are very important to them. or maybe the don't have issues, they're just a very in touch, artistic person

Get the Emomug. Emo is basically a more complex version of punk. It targets the feeling of the audience and originated in 1980. People like to take the mick out of emos coz apparently we are self harming idiots that like attention, this is not true because you don't have to hate yourself to be an emo. that is a load of rubbish....
Jess (typical emo wannabe): omg i just want to die!!!!
everyone else: emos are such emotional attention seekers.
Me: my point exactly....

Get the emomug. What people think it is: self harm, depression and everything is black
What it actually is: spinning around to your favorite song from My Chemical Romance, Green Day, or Taking Back Sunday till you fall over exhausted and ponder what you're doing with your life. You wear mostly dark colours, (not necessarily black), listen to emo, screamo, or punk bands. You don't have to cut either. If an emo does, that's for a completely different reason (unless they are a fake wannabe emo). They are like everyone else but they like their music to have meaning and they pay attention the darker sides of things, not just the ideal sides.

Yes, I'm an emo, but that doesn't make me any different than the next person. Maybe just a little bit darker.

Get the emomug. Someone who listens to rock/punk/alternative/emo music, which includes bands like Fall out boy, My Chemical Romance, Panic! At the disco, three days grace and Green day. Emos normally express themselves through the way they dress E.g: Band t-shirts, skinny jeans, meanies, converses and dark clothing.
Some emo stereotypes are: being un-sociable, being dramatic, being suicidal, being depressed and sad.
However, these are STEREOTYPES and do not apply to all Emos.
