Despite many of the other definitions on this site, the term 'emo' is actually used to describe people who have trouble controlling and handling their emotions.
not all emos cut themselves, and not all emos listen to 'emo' music, though admittedly a lot of them do...
umm, no example to be thought of for this particular definition of emo ^^

came from the word 'emotive'
DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN emotional or cutting yourself

subgenre of punk.

ppl who are emo usually wear skinny jeans, tight sweaters/hoodies, skater shoes, studded stuff, black straight hair covering like half of the face, etc.

ppl who are stereotype about emo think its all cutting ur self and black shit

THEYRE WRONG!

Nobody knows what emo is.

Ive seen people who are depressed get called emo. If i could choose what emo is, it would be a depressed kid, but theres a whole lot of stuff on here saying that its about music and people that cut themselves and wear black. So, I dont think anybody really knows what it is.

I agree with the things that say that being a non-conformist is being emo now.

Being different is being the same.
Guy: Im Gonna be different and become emo
Guy 2: Me Too
Guy 3: Me Too
Guy 4: You're a Fuckin' idiot.

An extremely annoying label for kids who do nothing but sulk about their life for attention and sympathy. (:
"So, last night I got in a fight with my parents, and I had an EMO moment again. They like, took away my phone. Now I have no way of talking to my boyfriend! THEY JUST HATE ME! No one understands me! It's not fair! I cried myself to sleep and cut myself like, 3 times.. Maybe people will be nice to me once they see how fucked up my life is.."
