Get the emo mug.an emo IS NOT as some people seem to think a cross between a punk/skater/goth. they are their own person! some people seem to think they are emos because of the clothes they where but that is not true. and emo is someone who wheres that certain type of clothing, listens to a certain type of music which is of a soft rock genre and are often depressed , make their lives out to be really bad and horrible and often self-harm. although i must make this clear! it is not only emos who self harm anyone can do it and be suicidal! ANYONE! just because u r depressed it dusnt make u an emo!
i self-harmed for a while but im not an emo because i dont wear loads of eyeliner and i have bright blonde hair and i hav a lot of quite girly clothes :D

Get the emo mug.The other 1200 definitions explain the term itself and its origins better than I can here, but it is important to note that the music and accompanying culture currently labeled "emo" by the press and popular media (as well as by the kids themselves) is essentially the same music and culture we all would have simply referred to as "alternative" a decade ago, and which has been shoveled into the media-created pigeonhole formerly occupied by the (arguably artificial) subgenre of "alternative" music known as "grunge" back in the '90s.
Wrong: I'm feeling so emo because my girlfriend left me. I think I'll cut myself.
Right: I wanted to go in the pit at the show but the last band was emo and some chick started kissing me.
