Emo

A young adult/teenager who cuts their wrists, arms, legs, etc.

The true emos are the one's that actually do the cutting because they have a lot of things in their life that seem to go wrong, and they are not always just the people who wear skinny jeans, scarfs, black side swept hair.

Word to the wise:

If you want to help your emotional friend stop cutting,

Don't: Threaten to tell someone, Tell them to stop cutting, Say that it makes them ugly.

Do: Be there for them, Hang around with them a lot and let them know you are there for them, Say how much you care for them, & Rather than saying to stop cutting do something about it.

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

In the 1980s they were called "punk". Same thing as emo. Emo is not a new thing, but the word emo is new. If you know what "punks" were in the 80s and how they dressed and acted, well, that is what an emo is in 2011. Same thing different label.

If the punk kid in 1985 was sent forward in a time machine to the year 2011 they would call him an Emo.

Emo

A term used when describing someone who listens to the genre of music and/or genres such as rock and metal, wears mostly black and other dark colors, has hair that can easily be mistaken as "Bieber hair," is assumed to cut themselves, want to kill themselves, and/or is depressed (which they probably are but thats nothing to make fun of). They're horribly mistreated and judged just because of what they wear, the kind of music they listen to, and the way the portray themselves to be.

" Hey John, did you see the new kid at school today? He's kinda weird, huh?"
"Yeah, he's such an emo fag."
