"emo" is short for emotional and does NOT mean you cut your self and hate your life, some emos may cut them selfs but if you had been through what they have been through you would to
emo's tend to have longer more meaningful relationships because they are more "emotional"

Emo

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

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....

Emo

Emo kids can generally be spotted and identified by their awful taste in clothing, music, and shitty haircuts. They are also known to hang out in small groups, known as a gaggle after the silly N. American fowl they often sound like. Thinking themselves to be original and artsy, they often try to form bands, which will die out in the next ten years just like every other trendy social niche ever has.

The best, and most entertaining way to kill an emo, is to get them slightly buzzed, provide them with a sharp razor, and then berate them for hours on end. (i.e. describing in detail the lewd sexual acts you performed on their respective family members, favorite bands, or generally telling them how much they suck). They will usually respond by crying, trying to hit you and almost always failing, and eventually cutting themselves to ribbons, even after the blade has become dull from trying to penetrate the dense armor plated skull they all seem to have; through which no logic or creativity can possibly penetrate.
Punk: I'm shit faced
Goth: I'm tanked
Punk: Let's fuck and make a shitty baby together
Goth: Sure, I'm bored and I can whine about how bad the sex was later
Punk: That's cool, I just want to hate fuck your fat ass anyway
