emo 

1)Country and blues music for the punk generation

2) Mature artistry that is overlooked by people who prefer misogynic music like gangsta rap, pop-rap, hardcore rap, most hard rock, certain R&B, and pop that only cares about sex

1)Emo is considered country and blues for the punk generation because it talks about the same things country and blues talk about--your lover leaving you and you think you can't go on without them-- yet it gets dissed while country and blues don't. What is wrong with this picture?

2) Anybody who claims emo is overwrought hasn't truely listened to it and are just hating on it because they're told it's cool to not express your emotions.

Emo 

Emo = Tight Jeans, Converse/Vans, Wear red/black, Cry over having to go home at 10pm because they want to get pissed on white star, Paint tears on there face, Are OTT in how they are and what they wear, can be very attention seeking

There are 2 types of emos, the hardcore proper emos 'emotional' people who are actually upset about real things and keep it 2 themselves

And fashion emos who crave attention so cry as much as possible and cut themselves (trying to kill themselves apperently which they never do) and then tell everyone in the world about it

Look at them fucking emo kids

So glad im not emo

Emo makes me laugh

emo 

a depressing poet philosopher and song writer, this group of often teenage people, sit round in circles and get drunk. when bored at home, we get depressed, and come up with grudges against people, but rather than hurting that person we hurt ourselves. we even have our own style of music, witch is always emotional and some say (me) origionates from the 80's style music.
the brief definition is emotional punk rocker.

although you say that "emo" isn't a term that means "tight pants, sidebangs and diluted, meaningless metaphores" etc, surely if people commonly use the word "emo" to describe all that shit, then the word "emo" really does mean "tight pants, sidebangs and diluted, meaningless metaphores" because that is how it has come to be interpreted. That's called ETYMOLOGY, dumbass, and it's precisely what this site is designed for!

> He is sooo emo
* yeah. Eeeemooo...eeemooo!

Thus a person is labelled as "emo" and the word "emo" is used to describe that type of person. savvy?

Emo 

emo simply means "emotional".
Most people believe it is the type of clothing worn by people (usually teens). But in reality it is just a shortened word for emotional. People who wear "Hollister" and "Abercrombie" can be emo as well. The whole tight genes on guys and dyed hair is actually the scene.

An emo would be someone who cries about every misfortune that falls upon them.

C. Antioch Arrow is a good emo band.

All emos are fake, even those that claim to be a true emo, i highly doubt you were born that way. I bet one day you showed up dressed like an emo, or if not all at once, it happned, the point is, there was a time you didnt dress like that or assosciate with that, therefore, all emos are fake,everyone that decided to go emo after you is a poser in your mind.

(some kid) I really need to fit into something, hm, emo, i can do that, im not bi-polar but that dosent really matter, also, everyone that becomes emo after me is a poser.
