I want to set the record straight of SO MANY PEOPLE being TERRIBLE to the stereotype of emo.
Emo does not mean you cut your self. It doesn't mean you wear skinny jeans, or tight shirts, or messed up shoes or greasy hair.
There are certain people in the world that don't care what others think of them too much, truly. They actually do like the color black, and while other people might not see their issues as important, somethings are backed with painful memories that are very important. just because their hair is black, or covers their face, doesn't mean they do it just for the sake of having it. A lot of people truly like the style.
A lot of emos ARE artistic, because most commonly being emo is when you're more in touch with yourself then other people your age. In fact, most of the people who are emo don't even classify themselves as emo becuase labels are not necessary.
If you cut yourself, it doesn't mean your emo, and if you don't it doesn't mean you aren't. The two things have nothing to do with each other!
Emo was originally short of emotional, in a musical genre sense. As it developed into a 'label', it means the same. A lot of emo people feel extreme emotions whether they be happy or sad.
I will admit there are emo posers, who cut themselves and dress for the sake of seeming badass, but some people seriously like the style!
Don't be mean about it, because what if I constantly stereoptyped and made fun of you? How would you feel?

Fake: Scratches wrists to make it look like they have scars, reads definitions on urban dictionary to find out how to be emo, goes around saying they're emo
Real: Dresses how they want, acts how they want, aren't influenced too easily, very in touch with who they are, a lot are very artistic and have real issues that are very important to them. or maybe the don't have issues, they're just a very in touch, artistic person

Get the Emo mug.(Carrying on from previous definition)
And finally, there are types of Emo. There's the mainstream, attention seeking Emos that aren't emos. They give us all the hate. Next, there are the quiet Emos. They are the ones who you might see every day and not know that they are Emo. They usually don't have many issues, but they are the most sensitive, in my opinion. They are the ones who you will say a joke to that you don't believe is offensive, and they will laugh at it, but they will have pain building up inside of them, until eventually it is too much and they cry, and then the next day they're fine again. Now, the general Emo. They are the ones with the black clothing or band T-shirts. The ones who you see smoking weed sometimes, or the ones you hear listening to metal. They usually hang in groups of other Emos, because that makes them safe. They get shit every day, and usually they have issues at home too. NOT middle class bitches with black hair and a black shirt on who slit their wrists because their weekly allowance got dropped from £1000 to £800! They piss me off so much. But finally, the full fledged Emo. The one who will be usually alone most of the time, the one who cries and tries to find someone to care for them but often fails. However, they are the ones with mental problems. We can't control the fact that we have mood swings, or that we are confident or quiet.
If anyone needs help, add me on bbm: 2A98DD63, I'm here for you.

Get the Emo mug.An emo is someone who has long hair, usually covering one eye or both, and wears black skinny jeans, band t-shirts, and beanies, as well as having a ton of bracelets. They usually listen to bands like My Chemical Romance, Bullet For My Valentine, or something of that genre (emo). They may or may not wear makeup as well as a large amount of black eyeliner (both males and females). Not all emos cut themselves, they are not devil worshippers, and they aren't all depressed. While there are some cringy losers that call themselves emo, for the most part, emos are pretty cool. Emos are like any other clique. There are some asswipe emos and there are some friendly emos.
Asswipe emo: My life sucks, nobody understands me, I want to die, angst angst angst.
Normal Emo: Gerard Way is our lord and savior.

Get the Emo mug.Definitely a miss used word... in my expericance it takes an emo a little bit of time to open up in both feelings and apperance. Just because one is emo doesnt mean they harm themselves or others. Not all emos are quiet, actually a lot of us are loud and cheerful, and mainly cause we hid behind a face, but no all the time. Emos are really chill people and are the best at giving advice. We also have a great taste in music! ;) I feel like people make fun of emos for no reason, and that should change, I believe we should bring the emo era back and people will finally know how awesome it is!
"Yo bro look at the kid he is dressed like a freak!"
"bro chill he's just emo he's actually a really cool guy!"

Get the Emo mug.There are two types of Emo people
1; Stupid people who think emo is the new 'thing'
2; People who don't have good control over their emotions but are still really fun to hang out with and yes, they do smile.
