The name for derivative teenagers who try their very hardest to be "cutting-edge" by either telling literally the whole world (by that I mean classroom) that two men kissing is soo erotic, that their spoilt, middle-class existence is driving them to suicide and by shouting SEX! DRUGS! every 5 minutes. Also fond of throwing random tantrums, a la tortured rich kid Marissa from the OC
Emos are easy to point out:
1.tight black jeans
2.scrappy, anime-inspired hairdo
3.Neon jewelry
4.Enough eyeliner to rewrite the Da Vinci Code with

Get the emos mug.An Emo girl dresses in their own way of expression. They don't care what people think because it's what she likes.
EMO ATTIRE:: What I usually wear...
1} A black t-shirt with mcr on it or sometimes a shirt with my favorite superhero or cartoon.
2} A studded belt with hearts and diamonds on it. Dark denim, straight legged, jeans. When I wear knee pants, I always wear funky socks. Mostly they have stripes on them, but sometimes I wear socks with Jack the Pumpkin King (from Tim Burton's "A Nightmare Before Christmas") on them.
3} I usually wear converse shoes. I mismatch the colors though. On one foot I wear red and the other black...depending on the colors in my shirt. I also wear vans sometimes.
4} On my left arm I wear an armband with polka dots on it. On my right arm I wear tons of different color hair bands. My nails are usually black...but sometimes I mismatch them like my shoes.
HAIR::
My hair is short like a boy (not too short). My bangs are long and cover my right eye. I have spikes in my hair. My main color is black. My spikes are red and orange (so when I spike them it looks like fire.) Then I have red, blonde, and violet highlights in my bangs and some in the very back.
1} Hair must cover one eye. (sometimes it irritates my eye)
2} Hair can be any color(s). Express yourself in your hair. First timers get it done at a salon so the stylist can give you tips on how to do it, hair color to buy, etc. (it costs about 80 dollars to get it done at a salon.)
MAKE-UP::
My make-up consists of: powder, black eyeliner and dark gray eyeshadow.
1} Eyeliner is a must to get the Emo look. Use black eyeliner and put it on top and bottom (but not too much). If you can't put it on top then just put it on the bottom. Just as long as you have it on.
2} Eyeshadow can be any color. Sometimes it looks awesome if you wear it underneath your eye as well.
3} Don't wear too much powder. You can wear blush but it's unnecessary. If you want to look pale then exclude blush. ALWAYS put blush on before you put powder on. Unless you are using liquid foundation, then put blush on afterwards.
1 thing I want to let you know:: Emos NEVER say Oh My God or Oh my Gosh...Poser Emos and Preps do.

Prep boy: Hey cutter, you're outfit is so ugly.
Emo girl: My outfit is the art of who I am.
Prep boy: Come on raccoon eyes get over it!
Emo girl: I have nothing to get over. I am happy with who I am and if you don't like it...then I don't give a freak. Oh, and I don't cut. *shows wrists*
Emo girl walks away with a smile and puts headphones on her ears. Prep boy goes back with his buddies and they laugh.
Emos don't care what others think.

Get the Emo mug.Person who is not afraid of being who they are. Someone who is not afraid to be dark but not sinister. Someone who is hated by those who don't understand. Someone who is not afraid to feel negative emotions. Someone not fake in anyway. Unless they are a poser. Emo people are sexy people open to love and not afraid to hate. Someone free to be who they are. Not going make the same mistake as preps. which is to comform to every trend in the world. Artistic people who are very talented and know who they are. Lover of music and art. Person with very good hair. Sexy and uninhibited. Dark and scene full of emotions positive and negative. Unlike most stereotypes they are not fags, they are just who they are. Lover of being hated because it shows how insecure people in the world are.
Emo scene kidds are so real.

Get the Emo mug.You know it's kind of stupid and sad to see the definition of emo written about by people who not only dont like/listen to the music but dont have a clue what it is and are just writing their definitions to be funny or mock.
So,to those,please get a life because to do that you abviously dont have one.
Anyway moving swiftly on.
The term Emo was coined from bands in the 80's that had a strong punk influence but didnt appeal as much to the violent aspect of the genre and so inturn Emo was created.
It started with bands like moss icon,fugazi and teen idles and then as it progressed it turned softer with bands like sunny day real estate,braid and the get up kids.
The style of emo kids back then was converse all star high tops,messenger bags with pins on the straps,gas station jackets,argyle sweater vests,thick rimmed glasses, short messy greasy black hair.Most clothes woud have been baught from a thrift store.
Thats a general short description of the now dead sub culture but if you want to know more then i suggest looking at "fourfa.com"

Get the EMO mug.How to be emo:
Go out to the drugstore and buy some cheap hair dye. You're gonna need black, and if you want to look more emo, buy dark purple or dark red. Or maybe a neon color. Put streaks in random as hell places. There's the color. Now, cut your bangs into a long diagonal fringe, covering about 1/3 of your face on that side. make sure your fringe is longer than the rest of your hair if you're a guy, and if you're a girl, your bangs should be at least half the length of the rest of your hair.
There, now you've got the hair. Now, go one to make-up. You're gonna need eyeliner. A lot of it. Now, put it on. When you think you have enough, you will need more. then for eyeshadow, choose either a dark color, or a bright color.
For clothes, you're going to need a studded belt. You need skinny jeans, skin tight. Or tighter. Then, go to Hot Topic, buy a few band shirts, and while you're there, look at other band shirts, and write them down. That's what music you'll be listening to until you get over whatever you're sad about. Make sure you have converse!!
Then, the attitude. Obviously, you have to be sad all the time. Don't eat, and cut yourself.
...
Now, if you think I'm serious, you're ridiculous. I guess I'm classified as emo, and I do few of these things. I streaked my hair neon orange, it's naturally black. I do usually wear dark clothes. But Seriously, don't be a poser. Emo's aren't always fucking depressed.
