emo

A depressing music which gathers attention of would-be-goths and the hatred of wannabe skaters. To waste time to segregate people by their way of thinking. To say someone is Emo or say you are Emo is overall pointless. The reason people think that Emo is so bad is because television, though being entertaining, stops us from having feelings. And we make fun of people who do have feelings calling them "Over-Emotional" when we in fact are "Emotionless".

Hey Dude, that guy is Emo he must kiss guys and cut his wrists lets beat him up with our skateboards and suffocate him with our egos.

emo

ok emo doesn't mean you cut yourself. although alot of emos do. it started off as a type of emotional hardcore music and turned into a style.

most emos wear hair over their face, tight pants, chucks or vans, and eyeliner. i used to be emo and depressed after i started listening to AFI. emo is sort of in between goth and punk, and sometimes scene. it's simply a type of style, but now when a person goes and says "oh i think i want to be emo" they start acting depressed, cause thats what everyone says emo is. it's a style dude.

emo

someone who copies everyone. ska kids for the checkerboard stuff and hats, goth kids for black, punks for colored hair and tight pants, and metalheads for what they(emos) turned into their "music"
they always talk about shitty bands who the never see, problems that don't matter, and they love getting their asses kicked.

"look at all those stupid emo cunts at warped tour!"
i know! what a bunch of losers!

Emo

The term Emo is now non existant. There was a time when if you wore womens clothes and acted as if you were on a period other people would laugh at you. Attention seekers saw this as a way to get attention and joined in wearing black and talking about how sensative they are and which films they cried at at the weekend. They also spend a lot of their time in town gathering like dirty vampires.

Naturally like sheep people have just followed the fashion and now most people are 'Emos' or they think they are.

At the start if you were an emo you were trying to be different and personally all I see is a bunch of zombies that look and dress the same.
Being an Emo is no longer how you are, it is just fashion.

lets wear black and write poems cus everyone else is. lets be an Emo

emo

soft-edge, acoustic alternative music with emotive (usually male) vocals, modern chord patterns, and lyrics shot through with the eternal themes of love and loss in endless variation. Genre originated by David Gates and Bread in the late 1960's (exs.: "If", "Diary", "Baby, I'm A Want You") but known then as "soft rock."

Oooh, that song is sooo emo - it could be, like, you know.. the theme for prom this year!

emo

1. (musical genre) emo music rose form the Washington DC punk scene in the mid 80s. bands were noted for being lighter. Notable to today's definition, bands sang instead of the more aggressive punk branch that would become hard core. Due to its vague definition and use as an insult, many bands that are not self proclaimed emo bands are branded with this title.

2. (lifestyle) This is the more commonly known definition. Emos are often self pitting, and have a negative outlook on life. many emos are compared to "goths". The term is usually used for people who's "depression" is fake and only for attention.

1-examples of early popular emo bands include Sunny Day Real Estate and The Promise Ring

2 "dude is dave depressed? he's been looking sad lately."
