Emo

Okay you might hear alot of bad things about emos that isnt true. So here is the real definition to emo. Kids that may feel sad and or alone. If you heard the emo song thats all just a bad strioetype. Emo isnt like goth. Emo isnt a cult. Emo started out as a type of music and developed into a style. Emo is short for emotional. And next time you see an emo dont judge them right away get to know them first. If your child is emo. Leave it alone it may be a phase and they WILL grow out of it. Though it take a while support them and it will be be okay.

emo

A whole culture of young people who think cutting, stretching out ears, shopping at hot topic, wearing black makeup, being over dramatic, very fake facial expressions, drawing attention to themselves via strange and hideous things, living at the mall, and listening to bad music (usually "scream-o" makes them cool.

Emo people usually stick together, yet are known to have very open fights on social networking sites, usually with other emo people.

Emo people have been known to group together and attack people who insult the emo culture.

Almost all emo people are afraid to become goth, and some emo people deny the horrible truth of being emo.

Those who recover from emo are ashamed of the past. It has been determined that they never show anyone pictures of them with the sickness.

Sadly, with modern medicine, we have found no cure to this horrible sickness of thousands of people.

John - "Those people are just emo hunny."

Emo

Emo means 'emotional.'
It does NOT mean that the person cuts themself;
they might, but lets not jump to conclusions.

Emo is also a genre of music. Also, Punk.

For example:

-Hawthorn Heights
-Amber Pacific
-Cute Is What We Aim For
-My Chemical Romance
-Mayday Parade
-Taking Back Sunday
-Panic! At The Disco
-Paramore
etc.

Personallly, I like them all (:

** You are not emo if you call yourself emo. **

-People who take pictures of themselves and put 'emo' as the caption are called 'posers.'

-Posers are people who act emo to be cool

or to be in the social scene as emo,
they only want attention.

-Emo people do not complain about EVERYTHING and they are not LONERS.

-When people cut their wrists it normally happens as a teenager and it will not happen as an adult, the person usually grows up and realizes they shouldn't be hurting themselves because of someone else.
*Goes on myspace and updates status*
xHIxIMxEMOx: " Im such a depressed emo kid, im gonnnna go cut myself. :'( "

^^^ That is called a poser(:

They want attention. (and comments on their status because its sooo dramatic) hah

Emo

An emo is not a well off teen that puts on a fake personality, when emos say they are misunderstood it is interpreted in entirely the wrong way, when emos say they are misunderstood it does not mean that they are depressed beyond what you could imagine, it does not mean people could not possibly understand the tough times they are going through, when an emo says they are misunderstood they mean people think they avoid having fun, self harm, are antisocial, and are essentially drama queens. These stereotypes are not true, what people dont understand about emo is that it is purely a fashion sense and taste in music, it is an alternative style, such as indie, goth (which also generalized blindly), punk etc.
It is time people realized that emos are sociable and just tend to enjoy socializing with others who share their taste in music and fashion. Any emos that do happen to be depressed, it is due to the fact that they have been bullied senselessly by people who have no idea what they are talking about.
One day Johnny discovers that he enjoys alternative music, he starts listening to it more and ends up wearing darker colours, tight jeans and hoodies etc.

Many people see what Johnny is becoming and instantly think he is depressed and self harms 'oi Johnny you emo cunt' is one of many offensive comments Johnny recieves on a regular basis, and slowly get worse, which makes him feel down, and he does end up feeling depressed like any other bully victim would, emo or not.

emo

a label that some teenagers call themselfs. and a type of music
usually ages between 14-19.
their kids who think their lives are horrible so they dress up in weird colored clothes that can be seen from space and wear 10 pounds of makeup.
which is kind of stupid, cause most of the time their lives dont suck, and they could be normal if they didnt wear so much makeup.
some "emo" people are normal though... but enough with the labels already!
"emo" kid: im sooo emo. i hate my life
kid:yeah? maybe your life hates you too.
