rich-kid dropouts needing attention and comfort 24/7 or they might cry themselves to death.
weak-minded individuals, scared of the real world.
try to wear as much black as possible: black eyeliner, dyed black hair, tight black jeans and sweaters.
don't give them attention, they'll only want more...

They are unquie and individual - yet dress the same
Have no friends - but hang out in groups
Everyone hates them - yet they all sleep with each other (none gender specific)
Are depressed - yet go to parties and gigs all the time.
Cut themselves - yet never deep enuff
Only follow EMOtional music - wat music dont have some form of EMOtion.
Confussed kids - so the guys look more like girls than the girls do.
Thier own fashion style - stolen from goth/skater/punk
Depressed - but love the life they lead
they <3 everything - but hate life
Tattoo'd - haha u wait until your 45 with stars, hearts and cherries
"if you loved an EMO would they no longer be EMO"

Alright, here's the REAL definition of emo. It will be broken up since there are two definitions. There's the style of music, and there's the lifestyle.
1) Emo music is a sub-genre of punk. It is often characterized by high-pitched male vocals and lyrics in which emotion(hence the name) is expressed. The lyrics often have to do with betrayal, lost loves, "broken hearts", suicide/SMB (self-mutilating behaviors), and depression. Bands such as Dashboard Confessional were thought to have created the emo genre. See also: screamo.
2) The emo "lifestyle" has changed somewhat over the years. It started off with kids who were pretty much the outcasts. The guys were thought to be in touch with their sensitive side and they would wear rectangular framed glases, scarfs (much like those seen in Harry Potter), tight t-shirts, and occassionally tight pants. They would listen to emo music, and often be depressed. However, this has changed. Now, emo boys can be distinguished by their long (usually black and sometimes with a streak of another color) hair, which is cut in such a style so that it covers one eye or half of their face, and their skinny figures. They also wear eyeliner(not always), tight t-shirts, girl pants(sometimes), usually some sort of hoodie or hooded jacket, and usually sport black fingernails. Emos are usually depressed and are fragile with strong emotions. Some misconceptions about emos are that all of them want to commit suicide and all of them cut their wrists. Though many emos do this, not all of them do. Another misconception is that all emo guys are either bisexual or gay. This is not true as there are many straight emo boys and sexual preference has nothing to do with it. If you think that all emos have made-up problems, you are reading the wrong definition and should look at emo poser.

1)Bands often considered to be in the emo genre include My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, and many others (most of them are rather obscure).
2) GirlA: The other day I took some totally emo pictures with my fingers pointing at my head and eyeliner streaming down my face. I'm like, such a camera whore. Then, I cut my wrists.
GirlB: You're a poser.

A very very annoying fad. The term emo is thrown around at almost every person nowadays. I guess I'll wait patiently for people to move on to the next stupid fad.

The other popular style of dress focuses on darker colors. Commonly seen styles include straightened, dark colored hair, dyed either black, red, multi-colored (brown and black, red and purple, etc.) which covers one eye, or an unnatural dark hue, males wearing pants tailored for females, lip, eyebrow, and labret piercings, and dark make-up on males and females (most notably black eyeliner, although red eyeshadow is becoming increasingly popular). A common accessory for both males and females is glasses with a dark coloured (usually black), thick rim, a style sometimes even worn by persons who do not require corrective eye-wear. Converse All-Star style shoes are common amongst both styles of dress, as are Vans and other skate shoes. While "emo" is often used to describe the dress and attitudes of fans of emo music, "emo" as a musical genre and "emo" as a slang term are largely separate. "Emo" as a musical genre long pre-dated the use of "emo" as a slang term. At the same time, most current bands are labeled "emo" unwillingly, largely because they share some of the fashion trends and attitude associated with "emo" as a slang term. There is also a common stereotype that associates "emo" with self-harm, most notably cutting wrists, partly due to song lyrics associated with "emo" bands, which often speak of acts of self-destruction. However, apart from the anecdotal, there is no significant evidence of any correlation between emo and self-harm.

why cant you lot just stop talking about stuff you dont understand why cant people see that everyone is different. Believe it or not some people dress like this because they want to and most of us do have really tough lives and aren't well off but we dont complain about it we just keep ourselves to ourselves and deal with it in our own way when do you see an emo spit in the street or kick a can or yell abuse at you or graffiti everywhere unlike some people i could mention.Let me ask you a question could any of you lot hold a blade to your skin and cut it at will you couldnt,so just think about how much pain you'd have to be in to do some thing like that.
we dont do anything to upset you so why upset us and look down on us like your better and too intelligent to feel emotions and cry.Believe it or not theres this organ in the human body called a heart why dont you use it.
