Emo

young person who is a fuckin' loser looking for an aceptible way to vent and induce negitive feelings, reactions, and behaviors for no apparent reason other than to gain attention.
Any person who may cut themselves for no other reason than to experience, as a way to release pain, a morbidy more plesurable rush in life....IE Cutting myself makes me feel: more complete, less of a loser, or is done as a form of self punishment. These sorry fucks are EMO. EMO is their name and they either may have infected vaginas or puss oozing dicks. MORE POWER TO YOU FAGGOTS.......OH, YOU HAVE NO POWER

emo

the people that you make fun of because you have nothing better to do.

the people that you think do things for attention, when really, you know nothing about them.

the people that have mood swings.. good or bad, they have them.

the people that no, you may not understand, but that's not always the case.

the people who may be scene, BUT THEY AREN'T THE SAME FUCKING THING.
if a person smiles a lot, but you notice cuts on their wrists & discomfort around certain people, they may be emo.
