Get the emo mug.Caused by a traumatic event or a series of traumatic events leading upto or during social interaction, causing blood clots in the wrist, suicidal tendancies, loss in fashion sense, need to express femanine side too often, a need to voice there emotions using other mediums such as art, music,poems (Which usually have no structure, and have no meaning or purpose) ,or other methods which include dropping into subtle conversation, and by conversing, they can drop hints of their emotional experiances. The blood clotting, explains why emo's find the need to extract of blood from around the wrist area, and find it quite natural to do this themselves, using their moms best kitchenware, *hint. dont eat with a knife at an emo's house, unless it has been steralised*
An example of subtle hint dropping is:
Guy number 1: "Hey John, you will never guess what, my goldfish died to day"
John: "O Thats to bad, kinda like how my will to live died last month...." *awkward silence*
Guy Number 1: "damn your so EMO!"
Guy number 1: "Hey John, you will never guess what, my goldfish died to day"
John: "O Thats to bad, kinda like how my will to live died last month...." *awkward silence*
Guy Number 1: "damn your so EMO!"

Get the Emo mug.History: Emo originates from Punk bands in DC with an "emotional moment" and evovled into a full culture.
Emo Music
Old and Original: Dashboard Confessional, Embrace, Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real-Estate
Fashion
Emo fashion consists of tight jeans of blue and gray. Dyed black hair and sometimes with highlights of neon color. Beaten up converse shoes. Lip piercings. Eyeliner. Thick-rimmed glasses.
Truths and False
Myth: Emos are cutters
Truth: Seriously? Wow. Cutting has been around before emo existed. "Preppies" can cut, adults can cut. Cutting is a serious problem as bad as alcholism and drug abuse, but cutting is not emo, and not all emos cut. If you cut, go get help.
Myth: Emos are fags
Truth: Emos now a days are mostly teens, and apart of the teenage years, its a time of discovery, inluding sexuality discovery. But not all emos are bi-curious.
Myth: Emos are bitchy and emotional
Truth: It may be so sometimes, but emo people are usually more introspective and sensitive, some could be angsty and depressed all the time, but its never right to judge a group based on one person's personality.
Modern
Now a days, emo has been attacked several times. The truth is, many kids who are "emo" now a days are just looking for an excuse to be a bitch and asshole. Cutters are often labeled emos, and that is not what emo stands for.
A new breed called scene kids emerged. Emos and scene kids are very different. Emos are introspective, and sensitive, scene kids are myspace and mainstreamers with a lolita element.
Emo Terms and Interest
Converse shoes: Even if its mainstream, its so emo.
Poetry: Teenagers rejoice! Emos often express themselves through music and poetry.
Guitar: An emos best friend. jk
Conclusion
Emo is about being introspective and open to the world of teenage age. Its not about being sad or being a cutter.

Get the emo mug.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."

Get the emo mug.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.

Get the emo mug.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.
