a word to describe a scene of people who listen to angsty, hormonal music centred around depression and hate. Relief and a sense of belonging is captured in listening to such music. Identified by wearing band tops(or if that's too unhip, vintage tops)usually brown or black. But extremists can wear v.bright clothes, simply patterend though, none of the hippy hysteria.yellow nail varnish is popular, and bows on heads. They often have either v dark hair(dyed).Cartoon drawing is common, and an obsession with Gerard Way.They hardly ever smile, because they have misguided conception that that brings out artiness and mysteriousness in them.However, on the bright side they are often very imaganitive and always anti-prejudice people.

Get the emo mug.Emo is a word of many definitions and its about time there was a non biased opinion up here.
1) A variety of music, generally perceived as having depressing or emotional lyrics and sometimes including references to hell, satan, death and other generally frowned on topics. Not to be confused with heavy metal or death metal, emo has a gentler guitar solo, however it has been known to mix itself with other dark varieties of music.
Well known bands that include themselves in an emo stereotype would be Paramore and MCR.
2) Emo People
It is commonly understood that there are two types of "emo" people.
Type A - the emotional
A person who is well known to self harm and promote other destructive activities with suicide being related to them often. A common misconception of emotionals is that they are lonely people. In reality an emotional can belong in any stereotype and have a social circle of any size. They can also keep their self harm a secret or choose to have it well known. They are often considered to be attention seeking and depressing, with tendancies to write lyrics or poems themed with death and love and strong desires to sit in dark corners.
Type B - the "emo faggot"
The "emo faggot" is the least liked variety of emo. Generally known to wear tutu's, skinny jeans and MCR T-Shirts they are easily spotted in a crowd and receive a lot of abuse from other stereotype gangs. This stereotype is now expanding into a new era with the group known as scene kids.
Emo faggots tend to either despise the term "emo" or treasure it, their opinion can base itself on their mood, their company or the time, date or weather.
They are also well known to pursue hobbies such as photography, metal or "emo" music listening and the aforementioned poetry and lyric writing.
The stereotype is generally shunned by other members of society and the "emos" themselves tend to blame society for their state of minds.
Their future is indefinite, however elderly emo's have yet to be sighted in public areas. Search teams have been sent out but currently they have produced no hard evidence to suggest that this mythical species exists.
Therefore we can optimisticly assume that "emos" eventually do, in time, reach a more stable mentality. We can also pessimisticly assume that they all die, but the question will only be answered in a half decent fashion after many people who know not very much, write very long books on the subject, and eventually people who know a lot more ignore the books and grow tired of the question, resultinh in them guessing an answer that we shall all assume is correct.

Get the emo mug.Short for the word emotional. The word originated in the DC with the Band Rites Of Spring. The band called the fans emo because of the style of their music.Nowadays, people consider emo as a lable to people who are generally depressed and very romantic. Even though some people that are emo arent really depressed but enjoy the emo music and the clothing style. Most emos skateboard and shop at Hot Topic TM.Some emo bands are Taking back sunday, and dasboard confessional. If you wanna talk to a emo kid im this sn Xucantsavemex56.

Get the Emo mug.OK Now every Chav,Townie etc thinks emo is a person who cries all the time then cuts themselves and lives in self pity well sorry to tell you 89% of the teenage population(this is just a rough estimate it is probably higher) you are wrong!Emo's do not cut themselves a few do but then again so do chavs and goths and skaters and grebs and townies now just because emo's listen to heavier music than r & b(puke) or rap(even worse) etc it doesn't mean they cut themselves and wallow in self pity no the thing most people have failed to realize is that emo is just a music genre and fashion style.
The emo bands that are still going include: Funeral for a friend, Clash of the sirens and the haunts (there are a lot more) also i recommed going to see all of those bands they are all awesome I saw them in May.
So I leave you with this emo is a subculture of the more widely known goth it is only a fashion statement and genre of music.
