There are loads of definitions for Emo,
And everyone has a different opinion of it.
Emo is a form and style of music, generally bands such as My Chemical Romance, Fugazi, and such.
But this is no reason to say that the emo stereotype doesn't exist.
Because if it didn't exist, we wouldn't have the emo kids.
Generally, when Emo comes to mind, people think of band logo t-shirts, tight skinny jeans, and assymetrical black hair.
But emo is not about the look, nor the style. It's a lifestyle and way of thinking.
Not depression. Not suicidal.
You have many people classified as preps and jocks and other labels that can be depressed and have suicidal thoughts.
Many of the emo friends I have are cheery and artistic.
And, oh get this, their emotions are quite in check.

Get the Emomug. Often used to describe a person. There are two definitions to this word: emotionless, and emotional. The belief that "wearing dark clothes, having the hair covering an eye or both, cutting ones self, having little to no friends, and wearing eye liner/makeup despite gender" is a false concept.
"Happy Birthday kiddo!" (dad)
"and your point is...?" (emotionless kid)
Emotionless ^
"I heard that he's going to break up with you soon!" (friend)
"what!?! but.. but why?!?" (girlfriend) *starts crying a lot*
Emotional ^

Get the Emomug. Emo is not based on how often they cry or cut themselves. To be honest, most of the definitions of emo on urban dictionary are not true and they do hurt. They are mainly made by judgemantal people who have no idea of what they are writing about and just like to be super critical for no reason. They honestly don't understand how it is like to be in my shoes, so why should they judge my lifestyle. In fact, most emo kids don't cut. They prefer to have an awesome haircut which consists of side bangs, black hair and occasionally another random colour. Sterotypically, Emo's listen to emo music. Saying all emos listen to emo music isn't necessarily true. They have quite a varity of music because there is more music out there than just one genre. You know which I love to hear? Emos are hated. Well, emo's do have friends, and they can be friends with whoever they want to be friends with. Just because they look a certain way or might act a different way occasionally doesn't mean they are hated. What I don't get is that there are so many rumors about the emo sterotype. Yes there is a certainn way to be emo, but you cannot act emo. To be emo you have to legit be an emo. One thing I have to say, is most of the urban dictionary definitions for the way emos dress are pretty true. They generally wear tight black clothes with a spiky belt and wear converse. Also piercings are very common with the emo culture

Get the Emomug. Emo stand for Emotional,
so they are sensitive type, most are shy as well
Emo Started from a band in the 80's. by some1 yell "your emo-core" in a concert of Washington D.C. to Ian MacKaye
with the band Embrace on the stage.
Emo are mainly people who have long hair on the side of their eye(usually dudes) or banes/chop like hair (usually girls).
Wear mostly black hair, tight pants small t-shirt, belts(optional), some piercings,(optional) Some girl wears everyday clothes with emo hair. both gender wore eyeliner as well.
Listen to emotional/screamo music.
Theirs hair is mostly dye black (guy/girl) some can be blond or red (usually girls).
Have highlights in their hair (girls mostly).
NOT ALL emo cut themselfs! the reason why is either they feel trap/ blame themselfs or they just want to feel something.
They write peotry, or play music
Talk about how their life is unfair. Have somewhat a subborn attitude sometimes.
Yes, emo do have fun in their way. They also have their own type of friends.
Most are about middle and rich class that are emo. due to their parents doesn't care about them or thing doesn't go right.
Most Emos are Posers, some are not.
What I think Emo true definition if it by characterist, it would be the people who are the Outcast of the Outcast by society itself, even the weird reject them as well. basically they are a shadow that almost no 1 can see them. Besides, they didn't chose to be emo, fate made them. Not GOD!

Get the Emomug. Emo is used for a description for both a music genre and a fashion sense. Emo is not about cutting yourself or being depressed. It's about being yourself and rebelling against society. All emo people aren't gay either. They usually have choppy, layered hair and wear band shirts, skinny jeans, and converse sneakers.
"I'm emo" or, "Look at this emo band"

Get the Emomug. A very ironic subculture devoted to trying extremely hard and spending a lot of money to fit one cookie-cutter emo mentality, then denying (strongly denying that is) that you are emo to anyone who asks.
{Person approaches a kid with two studded belts, red/black hair, Hawthorne Heights tee shirt and black skinny jeans}
"Hey, are you like emo or something?"
"No, fuck emo. Don't label me, I'm not emo, I'm an indiv-"
"I don't care..."

Get the Emomug. Emo is not a type of music, a style of clothing, or an emotion. Emo is short for emotional. They do not cut themselves, they do not always wanna die. The word EMO is a word commonly missused by todays generations.
