An Emo is not neccesarily a cut-up teenager with died hair and slit wrists. Emo just stands for emotionaly unstable. However, emo is also a kind of music and emos listen to emo music a lot of the time. The majority of them are also depressed, wear similar clothes, have certain hairstyles.
She was happy and hyper but then a little thing set her off and she had a temper tantrum and goes crazy like screaming and hitting. Then she went really moody and wouldn't come out of her room for 3 days. Now she is really happy and being very well behaved. What an emo!

Get the Emo mug.Life is either what you make of it or what you do not make of it. IF you're happy going thru life sad and that's your thing, OK...BUT there is a lot more out there if your attitude is that "the glass is half full" - be positive. Just cause bad stuff happened to you, don't internalize it to the point where you cannot see the good stuff all around you. Personally, I find most emo's a downer who work hard at exuding bad vibes.
emo - Trying to exude no perceptible positive emotion, trying to be sad, and internalizing their feelings. Spending time writing in a journal, creating poetry, etc. Not trying to make a contribution to the world, only themselves (ie: vanity and self-centered behavior). Ask a question - "Where does this get me...where does this help me grow as an individual?"

Get the EMO mug.People who follow the emotional hardcore music scene. Emo is a shortening of emotional and in most cases refers to the style of music. Many people beleive that all emos cut themselves, this is not true. Yes, some emos cut themselves but so do some goths, punks and people who don't follow a particukar trend. Admittedly self harmers do seem drawn to the emo scene but this doesn't mean all emos self harm, most just dress and listen to music to try to seperate themselves from the herd.
Self harming is an act commited by people who either beleive they need punishment, find some releif from emotion through physical pain or suffer from low self esteem. I used to be emo, I cut myself once or twice but only as a response to the constant ridiculing I was subject to.

Get the Emo mug.Typically an "emo" is a stereotype surrounding most tweens-teens who dress in an alternative style. Their makeup, hair, and clothes mostly define their look, as "scene" or "emo". This "alternative" fashion they conform themselves to is derived from the "in" styles most preppy and or popular females tend to wear. Along with the basic designs for the clothing "emo" symbols are added onto the clothing in order to make it appear alternative.
Emo, is mostly used as an insult, or a joke. Although the term doesn't derive from the word Emotional, it infact comes from Emotional/Hardcore music. (typically where most of today's stereotypes and subcatagories origionate) Most emo children tend to hold up some arguement that states, "Emo is a way of life..." They continue with meaningful definitions that support their arguements. However most of the filth we encounter, in life, chatrooms, schools, and websites, are just conformist vile kids who claim to be different. In all actuality these are the "preps" of the alternative world.
They claim to be different and unique. They all look the same, how does this defend their arguement?
Now for the definition: These confused children are ones who are usually middle class-upper middle class. They like to complain about their supposibly horrible lives, and about how noone could possibly understand them. They create problems and overdramatize even the smallest situation, for the purpose of fabricating a world of terror for themselves. Which typically ends in self-mutilation on small scales. They don't accept anyone unless they look, dress, act, and present themselves the way they do. They are usually annorexic or bulemic. Even though they are usually underweight they tend to think they are fat. Also they have turned a choice of sexuality into a fad.. These are the reasons why gays, lesbians, and bisexuals will never have the rights we deserve. To sum it up. They are posers, filth, attention whores, sad excuses for human beings, a trend, a fad, worthless and meaningless, and should be shot so we didn't have to hear their pitiful cries.

*flips hair* Omg guys we r so lyk unique. Emo is a way of life! Oh em geee lets write depressing poems that don't make sense about our "horrible lives".
Good idea then we can slit our wrists! YAY!!!
My girlfriend just dumped me! I'm going to kill myself!!! We were only dating for a couple days, I barely knew her, but we had such a deep connection! I want to die *cries* I'll probably just slit my wrists to My Chemical Romance seeing as I have no will to die.

Get the Emo mug.Here's a REAL, NON-STEREOTYPED definition of the word "Emo".
What is emo? Most people view emo as a type of person. Someone who cuts themselves, hates the world, and wears tight clothing. Others view emo as a genre of music including bands such as Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and Panic! At the Disco. Most people use emo to describe what is really called scene.
What does the word emo mean? Most people believe emo is short for emotional, as in an emotional person or emotional music. Others believe it’s short for emotional hardcore.
Emo cannot mean emotional because then everything would be emo. Everything has emotions- all music, all people. Emo would become an all-encompassing, very vague, word that could be used to describe many things.
The term emo is short for emotive hardcore. It was first used by the members of Rites of Spring in a 1985 interview in Flipside Magazine. Emo is not popular, and there are no mainstream emo bands. You will not hear emo on the radio.
Hopefully this will set everybody straight. **Source!: www.emotivehardcore.com**

Get the Emo mug.Emo is linked to a various number of things......
However most of these aren't true. Emo is not a hairstyle, a clothes style or even a youngster cutting themselves.
Emo is a lifstyle. Although some may cut themselves. More than likely they dont. Emo is a younger generation of not-so-understood teens that get noticed by dressing and actied differently. This has been around since the 80's but has not been recognized until the new millenium. We are not wanna be Japanease people and we are not pussies. Most of us are stronger than preps and jocks (emotionally of course). We don't like being targeted for who we are and certainly dont like being called obscene names such as earlier mentioned pussy.We want to be respected and left alone as you would want. We are not a style of music as many of you think. We are a society in ourselves, and if your nice we won't kick your ass and hook your intestines up to our car batteries and drag you behind our car!

A true emo is very moody. They are happy one minute and suicidal the next. We are very quiet around new people and dont get along with preps or chavs very well.
We have a very wide range of music tastes. Most people think we like bands like Bullet For My Valentine and My Chemical Romance(FYI MCR IS NOT EMO!!!,THEY ARE ALTERNATIVE!!!) But we can listen to different music like Fegie, Jeffree Star, and Tupac Shakur (Who was emo)
