Emo

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.

Emo

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.

Emo

A subculture in which you can see people wearing lots of black, ripped clothing with black hair, eyeliner, and piercings. They do not seem to care what other people think a lot of the time and wear lots of dark clothing. They generally have an aura of depressiveness and/or angst about them and can be antisocial all of the time or sometimes because of their nature or personal experiences in their past. Emo music is generally music that has an underlying message of hating oneself, or hating what they have become or talking about death, self harm, or other forms of pain. It is typically a bit softer than hard rock, but more hardcore than pop or easy listening rock. Emos also typically self harm themselves, mainly because they are of the mindset that they hate themselves. Obviously not every emo self harms, and not every emo self harms for that reason, but it is very common.

An emo should NOT be mistaken as the same thing as a goth. Goths wear lots of vampirical dress, and are generally more interested in the evil, satanic sort of thing. Emos are upset at themselves or the world and are closed off, they aren't necessarily unfriendly though, lots of emos I know are very nice, but they are typically not the type to be all outgoing and bubbly.

I'm an emo, I wear thick eyeliner and I cry alone in my room everyday, and if you have a problem with me then leave because I have been through enough hell to deal with you.

emo

basically means you listen to different punk bands, and (or) screamo, if thats what you like. It has nothing to do with cutting, but although some emo's include cutting because cutting is an emotional disorder where you feel relief in hurting yourself due to internal feelings, but caused externally. Most emos are very shy at first, but optimistic when you begin to get to know them, they are often judged because of what they wear. And to be honest, being emo is just a style. Just like preppy is a style, and grunge is a style.

Alot of people tend to think lead singer of the band BLACK VEIL BRIDES andy biersack is emo, but he isn't...he just dresses that way. He's also reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy sexy.

But the whole stereotype thing started with fucking myspace, so......

sally: Hey, are you emo all of a sudden or somethin'?
Terry: No...

Sally:but you have on mascara!
Terry: and so do you..
Sally:but..screaming isn't music!
Terry: and nor is auto-tune but i don't make fun of you..
Sally:but why are you so pale?!
