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.

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 ^

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..."

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!

The word Emo doesnt mean Emotional because if it did then Everybody could be labeled emo for the fact everyone has emotions. It originated from 'Emotive Hardcore'.
Not all emo's are depressed and cut themselves.
Alot of emo's are happy and proud of their quirky free dress sense.
They tend to get alot of stick from chavs who really have no place to talk
They support there favourite bands by wearing their merchandise.
Emos get slated alot and its unfair because they are just people living their life how they like it.
Alot of Emo's listen to My Chemical Romance so they then get mistaken as an emo band when they are actually Rock.
Much respect to the Emos.. \m/

Some comments Emos face:
Go slit your wrists you fucking emo.
Go back to your corner and cry.
What do you look like?
I feel sorry for your mother..
Well dont feel sorry for their mothers becasue the majority of Emo's are very intelligent and actually try to make something out of their lives.

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.
